security that he would return the pants, instead
OF which he made q COMPLAINT before Alderman

ANOTHER NOBLE CHARITY.-Some of our
benevolent ladies have combined in an effort to
establish an institution 10 be called "The Lincoln
Institute, or the Soldiers Orphan Boys Home"
They propose to make 1t home for boys alone,
as it has proved more difficult to provide for
them than girls; to feed, clothe, and educate
them, end when at suitable age to bind them
as apprentices, or place them in stores or offices,
their masters paying the Institution their board
instead OF giving the money into the boys hands
to provide shelter for themselves. Experience
proves that nothing is more needed than just
such an Institution in this city. Thousands of
boys are going to ruin, because for want of
comfortable home they are driven to spend the
evenings at lager beer saloons, theatres and
other associations equally injurious.
The following named persons have consented
to serve as a Board of Managers

ENHANCED VALUE OF LAND.-The price
Of land in South Jersey has more than doubled
since the introduction of railroads. On the shore,
from Absecom 10 Cape Island, and along the Bay
shore also, there is marked difference, and inn
mediatey on the route OF interior railroads. the
most unproductive bush land, which could
scarcely be sold at any price a few years ago, is
now held at very high figure. The settlements
of Vineland, Woodbine, etc, together with the
accession of large population from the Eastern
States, has opened wide field of enterprise
worthy of consideration by capitalists.

A NOBLE WORK OF BENEvoLENCE.-
Camden will soon be blessed with an institution
which will be of incalculable benefit t. the poor.
Mr.. Thomas Mexican and Mr. Samuel B. Garri-
son have purchased the large brick building on
Third street, above Market, formerly occupied
by the Perseverance Hose Company, which IS to
be fitted up as a Dispensa'y, The cessation OF
hostllites, at the time North Ward was raising
its quota OF men, lett something near $4,000 in
the hands of these gentlemen, both of whom
had been mainly instrumental in providing funds
to meet the emergency; and it was resolved, by
the citizens most interested, to devote the
surplus to the establishment of a dispensary for
the poor OF the city. should these gentlemen
meet with the encouragement whlchtheir be-
nevolent efforts deserve, it is designed to devote
one of the upper stories to temporary asylum,
or hospital, for patients who ay be accidentally
injured or wounded. The Importance of having
dispensary just al time when we are threat
ened with the speedy approach OF cholera,
cannot be overestimated. 1t may be the means
of giving relief and rescuing hundreds from a
premature grave; and we hope our citizens will
protfer such aid as will give efficiency to the
institution. In 1859, il we mistake not an effort
was made by the medical faculty Of this city to
establish dispensary; but the indifference of
the public forced the projectors TO abandon it.
II the gentlemen who now have it in hand,
however, exercise half the industry thev dis
played in saving North Ward from draft, the
DIspensary may already be regarded as per-
manent institution.

SPIRITUAL MANIFEsTATIoNs.-A young
man was ndiscreet enough on Saturday evening
to get about "Chree sheets in the wind" and
while in that disreputable condition amused
himself by making Spiritual" manifestations at
house in the Deighborhood of Moyamensing
avenue and williamson street. Tables were
upset, furniture smashed, and things knocked
about generally, all caused through the inau-
ence of bad spirits. The manifestations were
suspended when the police arrived, who took
the medium" in charge, and brought him be-
fore Alderman Lutz, who committed him to
Moyamensng, as the surest way of enabling him
10 rid himself of the influence of said spirits
RUN OVER AND KILLED BY A PAssEN-
GER RAILWAY CARA man named Edward
McCaferny was knocked down and run over by
a Hestonvlle Passenger Railway car, on Batur-
day evening, at Twenty-third and Wood streets,
and so badly injured that he died from the effects
OF his wounds. II appears that deceased and
two others came out OF a tavern and ran across
the street as the car was approaching, when
McCaferny undertook TO return for some pur.
pose, when he was struck in the head by the car
and run over. r. w. Goroon, the conductor, and
II. S. Bracken the driver, were arrested and
will be held fora hearing, pending the Coroner's
investigation into the circumstances of the case.

them for his personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Two o.
the cattle were killed either by or for him, and
them, however, the dead and the "quick," were
recovered, aud Daniel fell into the bands Of the
