attached to the Hahnemann Medical College, at

institution, with their friends, were present. and
after viewing the fine collections of specimens,
partook of collation. served by Caterer ID. III.
Burton. The museum is an elegant affair, and
comprises over two thousand specimens of
skeletons, dried preparations elastic, papier
mache and wax models, astrological and com
parative anatomy-specimens wet preparations,
surgical apparatus, materia medica cabinet,
mineralogical cabinet, aud numerous plates, in
Guiding all those published by the Sydenham
Society. The elastic models were imported
from France, and in themselves form a valuable
collection. In addition to the museum, there
are two lecture-rooms in the building, each
capable of seating three hundred students. AT
the rear of the college a room has been specially
fitted up with BEDS for the accommodation of
patients desiring surgical operations. This col
lege is rapidly gaining an enviable reputation
for its thorough course of instruction. The
method of instruction at this college is similar
to that in vogue at Yale and Harvard Colleges.
Last night about o'clock fire broke out
on the roof of dwelling No. 14l4 SAMSON street,
occupied by Mrs. Stewart and owned by Miss
Edwards. The alarm was not given for some
time after the discovery, consequently consid-
cradle period elapsed before water was got on
the burning building. However, when once the
aqueous fluid was started, there was perfect de-
luge, and the flames were soon eXtinguished. The
roof of No. l412, owned by the Union League
and occupied as shoe mandatory by Edward
Meakim, was also burned Off The lower por-
ton of these two houses. and dwelling No. 14l6,
occupied by Kate Melville suffered from water.
Building No. 1412 is insured for $4,000 in the
North America Company, and the damage sus-
tanned to the stock of Mr.. Meakim is covered by
insurance During the course of the fire the

gress, shall be intrusted with power to control
The affairs of this glorious Commonwealth by the
election OF It's nominees for the public offices;
and whereas, the members of the Union League
are called upon to express their opinion in rela-
ton to the said election; therefore,
ReS0LUed, That we are opposed now, as we
have ever been, to the elevation of men to public
Office who adhere to the political party which
encouraged and strengthened the Rebellion by
its unconcealed sympathy with its leaders and
their doctrines, aud which continuously sought
to embarrass the National Government in the
prosecution of its just and necessary measures
for the restoration of peace and the perpetuation
of the Union.
ResOJUed, That the persistent efforts of the
Democratic party to open anew the exciting
questions which were settled by the success
of the national cause and the election of
General Grant to the Presidency strongly tend
to disquiet and embarrass all the business rela-
tions of the country, by weakening the public
confidence in the stability of our Institutions,
and should be strenuously and persistently re-
sisted and condemned
ReSolUed That the large reduction of the
national debt since the inauguration of President
Grant, and the annual diminution of the State
debt during the administration of Governor
Geary, and the reviving prosperity of the coun-
try under the Just and liberal policy of the Re
publican party are practical results which appeal
TO the intelligence of the people in favor of the
Republican cause and the Republican candidates
for Office r- -
Resolved That an executive committee of
twenty-five members of the League be appointed
by the chairman of this meeting, for the purpose
of adopting such measures in relation to the APP
preaching election as may be consistent with the
purport of these resolutions.
The meeting then adjourned.
Republican Meeting at Germantown.
The initial Republican meeting of the cam
paign hercabouts was held last evening at Ger
mantown. There was q large attendance of the

tested. The Republican Invincibles several
hundred strong, proceeded by n special train to
Germantown, and made n parade through the

Esq, and others addressed the meeting.
