The Open Camp Fire.

The open Camp Fire of the Smyth
Post, which takes place in the Opera
House this evening, will be one of the
hest entertain nents given this season.
Tie lrma Gtee Club, Of Philadelphia,
which has been engaged, is one of the
oldest and best organizations of the
kind in this country. Sam'l X. Wolf, the
Infant Drummer, will make his first
appearance in this city, as also W. n.
Markward, the celebrated German song
and specially artist. f. Wagner, the
accomplished musician, is too well
known in this city to need aty com.
mendatioE, and his violin solos alone
will more than repay those who attend.
Besides these there are il host Of others,
including the unrivaled comic vocalist,
Mccormick, the talented elocutionist,
Miss Lizzie Phillips, the negro deinea-
tor WAGE with his banjo, Little Lille
Bailey, who is far superior to Ada
Jones, and the soprano singer, Miss
Kate d. Sheain. Every body should at
tend and heIp the "vels " to swell tie
fund for the relief of their sick or desl.
tute comrades, and the only trouble
should be, that the Opera House is not
larger, t. accommodate the thrOng.

ton termed the Continental cash car

wires extending from each counter,
with one car to a counter, and where'ci
purchase is made the money is placed
in a box working on roller spring in

sent to The depot or desk of the cashier,
where the money is taken out, the
proper change made and the car sent

too painful for the measured speech Of
ordinary occasions. He declared that
the decision had inflicted heavy ca

Another Fraud.

Fortunately there was bur a small
audience present at theOperaHuu>e st last
evening, TO witness what was billed as
The " highly sensational drama Marked
for Life" The whole performance was
fraud, aud the dialouge was inter.
spersed with vulgarisms. The thrill
ling scenes advertised, of the locomo.
tive passing through ii re, and the terrif-
tic combat on the bridge were omitted,
and it is well they were, for the audi.
ehce were sufficiently di-gnsted with
what was presented. Such snije shows
are an insult to the respectable portion
of theatre goers, and should be kept,
where they belong, on the stage of the
variety theatres. The company and

A SAD CASE.
A Man and hIs VIE Neglect Their
Children.

Mention was made in the REPUBLI.
CAN a few days since in reference to
John DougLerty and his wife Bridget,
who it was alleged, we're drunk the
greater rart of the time, and cruelty
treated their children. A warrant was
issued for their arrest, and this morning
they were both before Judge Cummins,
to answer the charge. Their miserable
home is In the rear of Shipley street
above Front, and just before the hear
ing was commenced, officer Osborne
came in with four of the children, all
girls, whose ages ranged from to 8
years. There are five other children
one of whom Is 20 years of a &c.
When Bridget was asked by the clerk
if she was ready for trial, she said she
was not, as she wanted Mr.. Harrington
present. That gentleman had been
sent for, but ~ he could not come at
the time the case was proceeded with.
Mrs Ella Jones testified that John
and Bridget are drunk the greater part
of The time and neglect the children,
who are allowed 10 roam the streets at
will.
Yesterday was the first day they had
been sober for some time, and Dougerty
only works enough to get money to buy
liquor. At this point Bridget inter.
rupted the witness by saying" "Sure
she's bought Squire, she's bought. -
This witness was corrObOrated by
Messrs. buckingham, Conner and
others, some Of whom said that they
dreaded 10 60 to sleep at night, for fear
they would be burned out before morn
ing. Officer Osborue testified that he
visited the house this morning, and it
made him heart sick hen he saw
these little children in such poverty
and misery. City Solicitor Turner said
that he had consulted the clergy in ref.
ence TO this family, and they said they
We're hopeless, and the only thing that
could BIZ done would ba to send the pa
rents to Jail, and place the smaller chill
dren in some of the homes.
Judge Cummins then imposed a fine
Of 500 and costs on each, which seemed
to stun John a moment, and then as
suming the air of a martyr, he said

BY . late action Of the New Castle
Presbytery, (and we trust Providen.
tial decree) that body saw 1t right tO
dissolve the pastOrate relations existing
between Robert Graham and this peO-
pie.
The separation was hard to bear, both
by pastor and people, aud was made
amid many tears and heart aches.
For six years he has presided over
them, and proved himself an excep-
tional man in the ministry. BY his up.
right walk and conversation, he has
moulded character, and won for him
self q name and reputation among the
people with whom he mingled, that
time will not soon erase from their
memories. His influence is felt so much
outside the church.
Men who never heard him preach are
now ready 10 say 81 am sorry he il
going away"
He Is every man 8 friend. He is no
respecter of persons. Mrs Graham
also has no second place in the hearts
of the people, they will 80 much miss
her kind and social spirit; as u cola
borer in the Masters Vineyard her
place will not soon be filed.
Other agencies beside the preached
word are required in the work of
Christ. Sho nobly did her part in all
ding many to the church.
We heartily commend these good
servants Of the Lord to the sister church

blessing may follow and rest upon
them in the new field of service, know
