and water Will b. introduced upon each floor.
The site selected is in the midst of tho settle.
ment, about midway between Cape Island prop
or aud the steamboat landing, and between tho
turnpike and tue ocean. A pavilion for religious
worship, capable Of scaling 1900 persons. is now
being built in the rear of the hotel site, and six
cottages arc now being framed in Camden for
removal to their future location as soon ms the
weather moderates 1t is expected that net less

closes. The Railroad Company has already
agreed to extend its tracks and deliver passen.
gers ut the hotel without extra charge, bat easy
access will also be afforded by the street cal
lines which are to pass in close proximity to
it. We understand that tho charter for the
Street Car Company has already been obtained
from the Legislature. The drives about the

100 feet wide. MR. McAdam, OF Philadelphia, is
the contractor for this work.

At New Castle, Monday, the Chancellor made a
decree in the equity case of John Y. Rice admin
istrator Of James Rice Us. A. II. Harvey, Susan
z. Hollingsworth, and W. g. Pennypacker. This
suit has been pending long time, and has in
yolved elaborate legal proceedings. The Chaa'
cellor denied the prayer OF the complainant
Yesterday an appeal was entered. which carries
the case to the June session Of the Court of Err.
rors and Appeals.
U. s. CRCurT CouRT.-Judge Bradjord-The
suit Of the United States Us. Day and his sure.
ties was resumed Tuesday. The Court gave an
opinion on the points argued by counsel last
week deciding on the first point, raised by the
defense, that il was well taken, and that as con-
tended by Them the bond sued on, in so far as
1T exceeded in its terms the bond prescribed by
the act OF July ist 1862, was void, and that the
sureties could not be charged with any taxes
levied or collected prior to March 10, 1868, the
date of the bond, or any failure on the
part of the collector, prior to that
date, to perform his duty. On the second
branch he overruled the point taken by the de-
fence, and decided that the bond, in SO far as it
was prospective IN its operation, held the sure
ties liable for taxes assessed or collected under
the internal revenue acts passed subsequent to
the act of 1862. He further held that the
remedy by distress against collector and sure
ties, provided by the act of 1862, did not super
cedo and destroy the remedy against them on
the bond
Counsel for the Government, took IN excep.
ton to the ruling on the first point, aud the do.
fence took exception to the ruling on the second

The Methodist REVEALS which have been in
progress in this city for several weeks past are
now closing with record OF probably unexam-
pied achievements. We have not the data our
Selves nor can we obtain it from any source that
we ut present know of, with which to make q
comparison with the result Of former years, but
there is well founded belief that the accom-

med up, the result stands thus
At Grace there have been aboNt 80 CONVEX
sons, 60 of the professors uniting themselves
with this church. The meeting is still in pro-
grese, with an undmnished interest, and the
altar is still well filed with penitents.
The meeting at Union Church is now in its
seventh week, aud up to Sunday night So con.
versions had been recorded. No abatement is
yet noticed in the interest Of the meeting, and
| the number Of persons who present themselves
at the altar nightly is as great as ever,
At st. Paul's the meeting closed last week

| Asbury closed its series of meetings more

Scott church also closed its meetings, some
days ago, thirty conversions, probably, having
been made. Twenty-Five persons connected
themselves with tho church.
The meetings ut Brandywne have been dis

that church is 20 conversions.

persons have been taken into the church on plo
bation-a number sufficient to maintain the
standard Of membership in the church which
was sadly depleted by removals from the cit,
consequent upon the depression in business.

MANY FAMILIES ENTIRELY CUT oFF-FRozEN PIPES
AND HYDRANrs-A SUBJECT WORTHY OF INSTANT
ATTENTION.
Tho long continuance Of the severe cold
weather is being inconveniently felt in many
ways, but in none with greater effect or more
calculated to excite serious apprehension than
IN the matter OF our water supply. Throughout
the whole extent OF the city there are families
who are unable to obtain drop of water from
their hydrsnts, and in some instances there are
several together who are similarly situated. As
may be supposed tho Inconvenience in suoh
cases il very great, as necessity requires that
sometimes tbe'pails of water must be brought u
considerable distance. Such instances as these
however, are rare, as In most cases supply can
be obtained from the next door neighbor-aR
Inconvenience OF itself sufficiently vexatious to
most families. The hre-plugs have also been
frozen 80 that water could not be Immediately
drawn from them, and delays are experienced
at all fires where the tire-plugs have not pre-
viously been thawed.
In probably the most of these instances the
distractions from freezing are in the bydrants,
but We understand that this il not 30 in all.
There are instances, We are told, where the
pipes which lead to the hydrants are also frozen
under the grounds result which may have ORR
ginated from the neglect to thaw out the by
drants when their frozen condition was detected.
1t IL stated that there are such instances in Tat
nal, Sixth, King and other streets, and fear is
expressed lest these pipes may not thaw out un-
til the weather moderates considerably more
than at present. Tatnal street in the vicinity Of
tho Avenue is supplied from the Rodney
street basin by . main which terminates
below Ninth street. and an impression
prevails that the end OF this
main, where the water is still, is freezing and
gradually extending the ice up the main, thus
cutting on tho supply. such cases as this have
occurred in Philadelphia and New York this win.
ter and private letters from the latter city bring
the information that fires are kindled in the
streets to thaw out and prevent the freezing Of
the water mains. One instance il reported
where coal fire is kept up constantly over an
underground pipe to admit free flow Of water.
Lest such a state OF things should obtain in
this city, would it not BIO welto give some atten-
ton to the condition of the underground pipes,
especially the smaller ones which rise to the sur
face. Families should make liberal applications
Of hot water and steaming cloths to hydrants
and all exposed pipes, as in this way ordinary
cases Of freezing may be obviated. When these
fail, the Water Department should take the mat.
ter In hand and ascertaining remedy it should
DO made known to the people Of the city gener-
ally that they may apply it themselves. The fire
plugs should all be opened Immediately, for since
Saturday nights experience II cannot be known
how soon or where an application may be made
for water. Already several Of the plugs have
been tawed out, but the work should not cease
until they will all admit free passage Of water.

AMERICAN SUNDAY School U ION "A meeting
which WAS well attended, was held ut Central
church, Sunday evening. in behalf Of the Ameri-
can Sunday School Union. Addresses were
made by Rows. N Kingsley, Of Philadelphia, and
+. G.. Ensign, of Chicago. Tie former is man
ager Of the Union. and spoke Of the work which
had been accomplished during the past fifty
years, or since the formation Of the Union, Civ
ing some OF his recollections from the very be
ginning. He said that $1,000 schools mad been
established in destitute places, that into these
schools over four millions OF children had been
gathered at . cost Of %, 100000. Besides, ST.
900 schools had been aided. Mr.. Ensign is in
charge Of the Northwestern Department OF the
Union. covering ten states and territores-an
area ten times a. large ~ Pennsylvania with two
or three Delawsre's thrown in He spoke more
particularly Of the manner OF the work Of the
Union, but also related many evidences of it's
growth. The Union, he said, sends out its mis-
sionares in places wher, no Sunday Schools
exist, there they visit and counsel with the PEG
ple gather together the children, establish theiI
school, sometimes in . rude way, but they al
most invariably live, grow, and become the
nucleus Of . church. Away out on the frontier,
among the pioneers in their sod.houses ant
dug outa he spoke Of q rich field Of labor. ant
related some Of the most gracious and asst nish
ing A. well ~ affecting, instances in the pro
gress Of the work The addresses were listenet
70 very attentively. and during the latter hand
kerchisfs were frequently applied to eyes which
were sunused with tears. At the conclusion O
the addresses collection was taken up.
