AN APPEAL TO THE BENEVOLENT IN
AlB OF THE HOME MISSION SOCIETY.-No chart
table institution IN this city is doing more
ehCient and Christian WORK IN assisting the
poor, who feel the want of many necessaries in
this cold winter season, to protect them from the
shivering and freezing blas's, and in giving
those food who are unable to provide for them
selves than the Home Mission society. located
at No. 507 North street. The benevolent, who
practically sympathze with suffering humanity,
are daily sending in contributions not sutfi-
cieEt, however, to meet the demands of the des-
ttute. The following donations have been re-
ceived From +. S. Reeve, $40; A. l., $40;
Cash, So; Benevolence, S5; C. A. s., So; A. G.
r., member of Spring Garden Presbyterian
Church, SO. Donations OF money, provisions,
and clothing are earnestly requested. Tue
pressure upon the Home Mission is still very
great Let all Christian and benevolent people
call at No. 507 North street, and learn for them
selves the great want in all manner of comfort
ing articles which c$n in auywise aid the p )Or.
and then the money will come in by hundreds
oidollars, and contributionsin clothing and pro-
visions will be cheerfully and penteously given.
COMMENCING EARLY.-A young scamp
named Joseph Deblin, aged nine years, was
arrested yesterday morning at Passyunk road
and Catharine streets, on charge of larceny.
Joseph was evidently extremely hungry.
He had looked with greedy eyes upon some pies
and cPkes that were arranged so temptingly be-
mind the glass of an old wOman's window, and
his mouth watered to taste the delectable wares
and in the tail of his ragged coat and there was
not a nickel TO reward his researches, The
bump OF conscenuousness not being so large in
Joseph's head as the bump of covetousness he
resolved TO get belly-full without paying for it.
He cautiously opened the shutter, and raising
the sash, took several luscious pies But Joe
was observed, and a hand was placed upon his
arm, and, looking up, he found he was in the
grasp of the police, Tears were of no avail and
he was taken before Alderman Tittermary who
committed him to answer for his misdeed.
1HE RIGHT SPIRIT.-It is frequently re-
marked that moIe damage is done by water than
by lire, in the many Coniagrations that are
recorded. 1t is too often the practice among
fire companies, in the excitement of the moment,
TO overdo the thing, and flood everything with
water after all traces of fire have been extin-
guished. When, therefore, we see an instance
where the good judgment of the fremen comes
in play, and they act in judlcious and careful
manner in the eXtingushment of a fire, 1t is
due that proper credit should be given. At the
late fires at Mr. George +. Smiths place, and at
Robettson's store, on Chestnut street. opposite
the Mint, the Schuylkll and Philadelphia Hose
Companies eEtnguished the fires without using
crop more OF water than was absolutely neces-
sary, and no damage whatever was done by
water.
