The excitement in stock circles Yesterday has
somewhat subsidized, but 1t has caused consider
able changing of loans, and we notice slight
advance in the current rates. The supply of
funds is LIBERAL both on call and discount and
lenders advanced less freely, and with some eau
ton. No stringency is anticipated at least for
the present. Only moderate business was
transacted in discount loans the amount of
paper offering having fallen off. Call loans are
in fair request and per cent. is the ruling rate
for good stock collaterals.
In gold the transactions in this market are
light, and the premium Is steady but lower.
New York sales are quoted at 1121l@%, closing
at the latter figure.
Government bonds are quiet and steady, but
prices are fraction lower.
The stock market was quite active, and prices
Gold Loan at 80.
Reading Railroad was excited and active,
opening at SO, but advanced to So 3-l6, closing
at 5SI. Pennsylvania was steady, with sales at

A SINGULAR CASE.

The Bedroom Of Two Young Ladies'
Entered at Night and the Hair Shaved
Close from Their Heads.
The Louisville Courier-Journdl of the Goth
says
A small cottage on East Market street was
bic occurrence.
The cottage consists of three rooms, all on the
first floor, occupied by family of taste and re-
hnement. On Saturday night last the back
room was occupied by two young ladies, daugh-
ters of the family, the father and mother sleep
ing in q room adjoining.
Some time during the night the room of the
ladies was entered by some one SO noiselessly
that nothing was known of the intrusion until
next morning.
There slept his beautiful victims, their wealth
OF flowing hair sweeping In rich profusion and
iHimitable neglige over the snowy pillow He
approached the bedside, cautiously, gently.
A few clicks of the scissors, making 'less a
sound than the dream of q sound" j" and all is
over Those flowing tresses, the ''glory of
woman" as Holy Writ declares are shorn closer
than Samson's beneath the faithless fingers of
Delilah, taken off as close to the scalp as a
barber might have done by daylight. Several
articles of jewelry in the rooms we're moved
from their proper place, but none were taken
away. The apartments occupied by other mem
bers of the household were entered clothing
thrown about confusedly, a gold locket, q
breastpin, several pieces of money scattered
around but all answering promptly the next
morning. - FJ0Alit
1t is evident that whoever the intruder he or
she was only bent on getting possession of "the
glory of the SEX" The first information of the
nights doings came from the young ladies, who
awoke and found themselves the victims of this
'takiDg off," The whole transaction is most
mysterious. Did some one invade the sacred
precincts and thus violate ''vested rights" in the
interest of the braid manufacturers; and even
now do these wavy tresses adorn some shop
window on Fourth street? Or has some envious
female, with carroty hair, turnip nose and bean
eyes, thus deprived her rivals of their chief
ornament? Or has that strange gentleman who
infested this city about q year ago, breaking
into houses and indulging his mania for gazing
at sleeping folks, returned again, with an addi-
tion to his programme? ..s

gutshed Clergyman.

dwelling of the Statue of the Distfn-
guished Clergyman.
The late Rev. DIR. BethuDe is so well and affec-
tionately remembered in Philadelphia that the
following, from the New York Post of last even
ing, will be read with interest,"
Among the interesting occurrences at the
twenty fifth anniversary of the Packer Institute,
in Brooklyn, was the unveiling of the statue of
the late Rev. DR.. Bethune, and the address of
the Rev. DIR. Vinton. The statue is of pure and
unhlemished marble, eight feet high, moulded
by our distinguished artist, II. K. Brown, and
sculptured in Italy. 1t represents DIR. Bethune
in the attitude of speaking, with the right arm
extended in an emphatic gesture. Indeed, the
pose is excellent and characteristic. The statue
rivals the best examples of sculpture, whether
we consider the exquisite finish of the work or
the conception of the artist.
There is something peculiarly charming in
this statue, also, in view. of its history, which
DIR. Vinton illustrated in his remarks.
He said that the origin of this majestic sculp-
ture was simple notice to the friends of the
late DR.. Bethune to meet at the Century Associa-
tion in 1865. At that meeting persons in various
walks of life appeared High and low, rich aud
poor, came together. One admired DR.. BeLhune
for his eloquence in the pulpit; another as
pastor; another as q companion; another for his
poetry; another for his conjugal tenderness,
another as friend; another as q scholar: an
other as lecturer; another as fisherman. 1t
was, hence, concluded that his merit was that
of man in whom no quality was salient but, as
Edward Everett said of Washington, he was as
a sphere, developed in all parts alike, and full
integral mana man of integrity in the truest
sense.
Accordingly it was determined that no bust
nor mural alto relteUo should represent him, but
statue, in heroic proportions, as man. The
statue was estimated to cost twelve thousand
dollars. He related an incident evincing the
great heart of DR.. Bethune, which touched the
hearts of all who heard it. -I
He said that in the last will of DR.. Bethune it
was written in words to this effect, that in the
memory of Gods blessings he recalled the
spiritual converse he had had with Christian
friends, but none more tenderly than those with
Christian ministers Of other denominations; and
among these the recollection of his intercourse
with the Rev. Dr. Storrs and the Rev. DIR. Vim
ton recurred to him in that solemn hour. No
one who might have heard their conversation
would have con- ectured that ecclesiastical differ
ences had separated them, for the central topic
of love to our common Saviour was the theme
of converse, and he requested that these clergy
men, If they survived him, would do him the
charity of being his pall-bearers and seeing him
buried at Greenwood. This was done. Who,
among the thousands who make their wills in
view of DEATH would have remembered the
hearts history and experiences? but DIR.
Bethune did; and the anecdote illustrates the
man.
