frmed this spring came from the Bible classes
aud schools. The contributions of the schools
for missionary objects amounted to about $500.
During the Christmas season, festivals on a

Persistent Thieving on North Ninth Street
-Incendiary Attempts-Six Places En-
tered.
Thieves and incendiaries were quite active on
North Ninth street on Friday night last. The
Office of Moorhead's terra-cotta works, on Ninth
street, above Girard avenue, was broken into
and, after failing to steal anything, the thieves
attempted to burn down the place. large
quantity of singed and half-burnt paper was
discovered in the office.
The coal Office of Charles R. Raush, at No.
1916 North Ninth street. was broken into about
the same time, evidently by the same parties,
great value, the scoundrels made an attempt to
burn the establishment. The drawers were
ransacked and the papers and bill-heads scat
tered about.
The thieves then took from pin an overcoat,
and stufipg its sleeves with paper and matches,
set fire to it. The coat was consumed and also
burned one-half of writing desk, when the
fire was discovered and extinguished. These
two cases of incendarism are undergoing in
vestigation by Assistant Fire Marshal Randall.
On Saturday night Conrad's coal Office, at the
northwest corner of Ninth and Master streets,
was entered, the place ransacked, papers torn,
etc, but the thieves secured nothing.
These operations we're repeated at the coal
Office of j. Q. Hancock, opposite. Nothing was
obtained.
The office of the terra-cotta establishment of
P Gullinger, on Ninth street, above Oxford, was
also broken open and ransacked, and finally the
n. Ninth street, was similarly treated.
Music ON NORRIS SQUARE.-We have spoken
elsewhere of the opening of Norris Square, at

will be furnished each evening. These young
gentlemen do this voluntarily. A large platform
has been erected, and the Twilight Band will
inaugurate the season by furnishing music at
three o'clock this afternoon. Tonight the
Edwin Forrest Band will perform. The square
is reached by the Second and Third, Fifth and
Sixth, and Union Passenger lines.
THE PEANUT AND ORGAN GRINDERS Asso-
CIATIoN.-The theatre-goers have cause for
alarm. To-day there is famine in the peanut
market. And why? some may ask. Simply
because the peanut yenders are off on a lolliica-
tion to the Falls of the Schuylkill. They are
going to have picnic there, and Philadelphia
is deserted. Those greasy Italians who each
day OF the week, early and late, concentrate all
their immense genius in roasting ehesnuts,
cracking shelibarks, and disposing of peanuts
(roasted) at five cents a pint, have organized q
society. The society has raked In all the
organ-grinders, and this morning they marched
down Chestnut street with band playing and ban

Meeting of the Board of Surveys-Sewers
to be Constructed.
The Board of Surveys held its regular semi
monthly meeting to-day at noon, with Strick-
land Kneas, President, in the chair.
The construction of the following three feet
sewers was recommended :-0n Vienna street, be-
tween Frankford road and Memphis street; on Hale
street. between Columbia and Montgomery avenues |;
on Second street, between Cumberland and York,
and on Bodine street, from Susquehsnna avenue to
Diamond, and along Diamond to west side OF Ame-
ncan street. An eght-inch pipe, at private ex-
pense, was authorized on Harvey street, between
Germantown avenue and Adams street.
A communication was received from the Board OF
Health in reference to a sewer on Sewer street
A communication, signed by large number OF
citizens in relation to the strengthening and WIDEN
ing of Thirty-fourth street in the Twenty-fourth
ward, was disposed of by the adoption OF a resou-
ton modifying the ordinance OF Councils OF OCTOBER
l. 1870, that the widthof the said Thirty-fourth
street be so feet instead OF 70 between Bridge and
Sycamore streets. This is to avoid encroachments
on certain properties, and to prevent the neces-
sty Of their arrival.
The plan for the revision of the grade OF Broad
street. between Germantown avenue and Fishers
lane, was approved.

SAVED Two BoYs FROM DRowNING.-A little
boy became exhausted while bathing at Poplar
street wharf on Saturday last. Another lad
was in, jumped overheard to rescue him, when
the former boy clinched him, and the pair sank
beneath the waters surface. A gentleman
named Mr.. Charles Piper, seeing that both boys
would be undoubtedly drowned, plunged into
the water, and with extreme difficulty he sue
ceeded in getting the lads on dry earth. The
Cohocksink creek pouls its black and filthy
waters into the Delaware at this point, and the
unpleasantness of the task of the gentleman may
well be imagined. He was well-nigh exhausted
himself as in his exertions he swallowed several
doses of the nasty fluid.
