WE INVITE attention to the advertisement of
the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals. The annual report gives
evidence of great activity, and we hope Phila-
delphia will not long allow this commendabe
charity to be dependent upon casual donations,
when three hundred additional members would
render 1t self supporting. If the society had
membership as large as that of the Massachu-
setts Society, 1t could employ five additional
agents.

THR HEBREW CHARITY BALL, which is an
nounced to take place at the Academy of Music
tomorrow evening" will undoubtedly prove the
affair of the season. The Hebrews of this city
have long been noted for the superior style and
elegance of these occasions, and from what has
been seen in the way of preparations, it is safe
to assume that the sight to be presented to-
morrow evening will excel anything of the kind
ever before attempted. A large number of
visitors from other cities will be present, and
these, together with the bellies and beauties of
our own, will add much to the beauties of the
ball. Our handsome young friend, Mr.. Aaron
E. Greenewald, is TO be Master of Ceremonies.

FIRE IN MATCH FAcToRY.-About 12'45
o'clock this A. M. smoke was seen issuing from
the premises, No. 919 st. John street. by Officer
Bears, of the Seventh district, who at once
sounded an alarm and through his promptness
and the exertions of the fremen, that which
might have proved serious fire was prevented.
The building, which is of brick and three stories
in height, is owned and occupied by Ephraim
X. Smith as match manufactory. On the
second story is n large tub, used for the storage
of phosphorus in cans, they for safety being
kept entirely covered with water To this tub
the girls in the factory resort at night to cleanse
their hands, and it is supposed that last evening
they displaced the plug of the tubs, as an exam
ination showed that the water had run off, and
one of the cans leaking, allowed the phos-
phorus to escape, which engendered such heat
as to melt the solder off several others, and the
water pipe, which was soon eaten through,
and thus the fire was communicated to the
flooring of the building.
Mr.. Smith sustains loss by fire and water of
about $4,000, upon which he has an insurance of
$1,000 in the Williamsburg Insurance Company
of New York.

DEPARTED GLoRY.-The lovers of island and
forest scenery may well mourn over the de-
parted glories of Clapboard Island. The nrim-
tive forest on that famous place of resort is
RACED to the ground, and the noble oaks and
beeches, the naples and spruces are no more,
and those magnificent chestnuts so rarely seen
in this State, and the especial pride of the is
land, lie PROSTATE. The great piles Of logs ly-
ing ready for removal remind one more forci-
bly, of the numbering camps of the Aroostook
than the shores of Casco Bay which, as Mr..
Elwell has SO appreciatingly said, owe the r
attractions to the fact that the Islands are so
we'll wooded and the trees grow SO close down
to the water that boatmen may Tie their crafts
to them if SO inclined.
Many thanks to the owners of Great Hog Is
land for preserving the growth of the trees
Goodbye to the beauty of Diamond Cove,
Pleasant Cove, and all the other valuable
gems that form the magnificent emerald coro-
net which Casco Bay SO proudly wears, and
which our best poets have immortalized, when
the desire for speculation overcomes the love
of the beautiful and devastates the land.

Tn FOR TAf.--Cohsidcrable surprise was
manifested that "Capt. Hosea Blaisdell former
ly of the United States army who served with
distinction through tue late wal, and George A.
Ordway, late inspector OF lights in Boston har-
Dor" should have endeavroed by their testimo-
ny for the prosecution in the case of State VS..
Frank d. Holland before the Superior Court
to procure Hollands conviction of perjury by
swearing positively that he was in Boston on
the 18th of September, 1869, by memoranda
of theirs made that day, when in fact he was
in Portland all of that day and not in Boston
at all.
With due Difference to Messrs. Blaisdell iand
Ordway' lofty genius aud not doubling their
great ability in their own proper vocation, we
do maintain that they have mistaken their call
ing this time.
