There are plenty of other dogs worthy of note and many classes that have not be in mentioned, bnt they are all akin and those not heard of here will make themselves heard in the show room. fendant and Burton quarreling, apparently about something connected with the latter's little child, who was standing by.

Burton flourished his wooden blacking box dangerously near the child's face, and Devlin reached down for a brick. Burton also got hold of a brick bat, bat before he could use it Devlin bad struck him on the head with his brick and knocked him insensible. Sergeant Sears then arrested Devlin, who said that Burton had kicked his child. Alderman Carpenter held him in $1,000 bail for court. testified that he had sold the defendant $144 worth of goods on credit, as the latter represented to him that be had $800 on deposit in the savings fund at Seventh and Walnut that he owned property at Wayne and Larkin streets, Richmond.

Benjamin H. Pitfield, bookkeeper of the savings fund, could not swear that the defendantdid ordid not have an account at that institution. The defendant denied that he had represented himself as owning the property above mentioned, but a deed book produced in evidence showed that he once owned the property, but had conveyed it to some one else before the time of the alleged transaction with the complainant. The Magistrate held Burns in $1,000 to answer at court. THE SENATE FAILS T0 FILL THEM.

Another Profitless Session Kollogg's friends Force His Claims to a Consideration The Returning Board Sores Reopened A Thanksgiving Day Session Required. Special Dispatch to Tbk Times. Washington, November 28. The Senate after noavly a seven hours' session adjourned to meet to morrow, Thanksgiving Day. This.

result was brought about on the motion of Senator Patterson, who has little to be thankful for from the present point of view. The Eepublicans gained a small advantage, but the proceedings wore dull and uninteresting for the most part. The galleries were again crowded beyond their capacity. The five contestants for Senatorial seats, Messrs. Kellogg, Spoflbrd, Butler, Corhin and Eustis, wore on the floor, following the proceedings with great in tcrest.

Two or three votes to day were very in tercsting one on taking up the choice between Kellogg and Butler, and the other to substitute the name of Butler for that of Kellogg. Th Eepublicans beat their adversaries in both cases, in the first case taken up by a tie vote, Conover voting with the Republicans and the Vice Presi dent casting the deciding vote. The Kellogg case being before the Senate the next motion was to admit him. Thurman, who leads the Democrats with far less ability than Edmunds leads the Republicans, moved to amend by inserting the name of Butler. Con over still voted with the Eepublicans, but Pat terson voted on the other side.

The vote was again a tie, and so the proposition was lost. majority is required to substitute a name in such a case. However, the Vice President exercised his privilege and voted no, at which, Thurman aud Eaton were highly indignant. Nearly the entire day was spent in explanations, Senator Hill made a remarkably strong speech against Kellogg, stating many new reasons why be should not be admitted to the Senate. Hill's manners, however, are objectionable.

He noisy, and he swings his arms like a windmill The chances to night seem to be in favor of Kellogg, Butler and Eustis, but there will prob ably be some debate on them all. WORK FOR THE SENATE. Three Days in Which to Crowd Much Im portant Business. Special Dispatch to The Timks. Washington, November 28.

The regular session of the Senate will begin on Monday next, which leaves, counting Thanks giving, only three more working days. It is in conceivable how the Senate can crowd into those three days the work that is before it. In the first place there are three vacant seats in the Senate to fill, upon each of which there will be more or less debate. One case, that of Eustis, is not yet out of the committee, although that will not take long. The Paris Exhibition bill, which is still in the Senate committee, must be passed, or the appropriation is lost, and another bill will have to go through the House, which is a dangerous undertaking, considering the value of time and the circumstances of the passage of the bill now referred.

There are half a dozen or a dozen other bills of more or less importance, and above all there are more than one hundred and twenty nominations to act on, These are of the utmost consequence, consider ing the attitude of the Senate and the civil tenure of office act, and tho failure of some of them would be a serious inconvenience to the interests of the government. It is within reason to say there is hard work enough before the. Senate to last a week at least. The nominations alone ought to take all the time now left, aud certainly the Senatorial vacancies ought to be debated nutil all the facts are out. The Demo crats will hold a caucus to see what can be done to help the business along.

Representative Ward on Ship Building. Special Dispatch to Thk Times. Washington, November 28. Eeprcscntative Ward, of Pennsylvania, called on tho President aud Secretary Evarts to day, and had a long talk on ship buildiug and a change in the navigation laws. Mr.

Ward subsequently called on Secretary Thompson, with whom he convorsed regarding the unhappy Huron. The Secretary said he was satisfied, after careful investigation and from all the information he could get, that the vessol and machinery were first class in every respect. A Stampede of Indians. Washington, November 28. Private advices not officially confirmed have been received to the effect that sonio seventeen hundred of the Indians en route to the Missouri river and now about a hundred miles from their objeetivo point have stampeded and left the main body.

It was understood when General Crook left hero that he would personally superintend the movement of the Sioux and accompany their march. The General is now at Omaha, and his personal presence might have prevented any such stampede as that reported, as he has much influence, with the Indians. Sitting Bull on tho War Path. Special Dispatch to Thr Tjmfs. Washington, November 28.

It is reported to night that the War Department has dispatches from tho West stating that Sitting Bull has again crossed the frontier with hostile Intentions. If this news is trustworthy it means a wiuterwar and untold suffering and destruction to our army. Tho report is discredited here. PATTERSON'S ELECTION. Bow It Was Secured Direct Evidences of Wholesale Bribery and Corruption.

Columbia, November 28. The special investigating committee, appointed last spring, to examine, among other things, into the election of John J. Patterson as United States Senatonin 1872, submitted a report this morning. The report gives an epitome of the taken before the committee, including that of about forty ex members of the Legislature, white and colored Eepublicans, whose evidence concurs in tho statement that Patterson's election was secured through briliery. About twenty testified that they were bribed, cither personally by Patterson or by his agent, Wnrthington, receiving amounts ranging from $100 to $2.10.

About twenty more testified that oilers of bribes were made to thorn and refused. Elliot, colored, ex member of Congress, who was Patterson's most formidable opponent, was offered $15,000 to withdraw from tho contest, which he refused. The offer was mado by J. B. Dennis, in the namo of Patterson.

Major Martin E. Delanoy, colored, was present, and corroborated Elliot's statement. Governor Moses afterwards appointed J. B. Dennis Jury Commissioner to draw juries for the protection of Patterson when he was indicted in 1873 for procuring his election by bribery, and the arrangement was successfully Every witness testified that it was generally known and understood among the members that Patterson was purchasing his eloction.

The evidence also shows that votes wore bought whllo tho election was in progress. Maxwell, colored Senator, was paid to change his vote to Pattor aon, which gave a majority of the Senate and voided the necessity of a joint assembly tho next day. Another County Heard From. Thoy, N. November 28.

Supervisors Egan, Pushes and Cassin have been Indicted by the grand jury for fraudulently auditing bills against the county of Renssalacr. Thore is one batch of bills for about np in names of fictitious persona for work never duns. It Is anpposed tho total amount of illegal bills will foot up 150,000 for last year alone. Avenging Ills Child's Injuries. John Devlin was brought np at the Central Elation yesterday for a further hearing on the charge of an aggravated assault and battery on James Burton, a colored bootblack, on Friday last.

The physician from the Pennsylvania Hospital testified that he believed Burton to be out of danger, but as he was liahlo to a relupso no certificate to the fact could as yet be given, Josiah T. Brown lostlfiud that he saw tho do A HOST OF TOWNSPEOPLE ATTEND. Two Honrs of Hand Shaking at the Academy of Pine Arts Last Evening A Testimonial from the Ladies ef Philadelphia An English Jack and the Stare and Stripes. Many thousand and gentlemen mada their adieux to Minister John Welsh at his fare well reception in the Academy of Fine last evening. Tho building had been dexterously touched by the management committee, and wore the evergreen girth and flower garlands of holiday occasions.

Mr. Welsh looked halo and hearty as he passed np the broad stairway between the loaves that daintily shaded the jets. He was an hour early in reaching the Acadomy, for there was a very great honor awaiting him "one that he appreciated," he said, "more than all others." The women of Philadelphia were to present him with a testimonial of their esteem. The ladies, numbering somewhere near five hundred, preceded him by several minutes, and, passing between files of Mayor Stokley'a most stalwart officers, formed a double circle in Gallery toward tho rear of the building, which was formerly used as a museum for American historical relics. At seven o'clock ex Mayor Fox entered tho room, and immediately following came Mr.

Welsh, with Hon. Morton McMichacl as escort, Colonel Thomas A. Scott, Mr. James L. Claghorn aud Mr.

William Welsh, all advancing to the platform. Above were two silk flags, one American, with the circlo of stars and eagle between, the other an English Jack of similar pattern. THE LADIES' TESTIMONIAL. Mr. McMichael stated briefly the matter of the testimonial, reading various resolutions that were passed at the meeting of the women of Philadelphia at the Lincoln Institution November 19.

The resolutions as well as a short address were signed by Miss McHeury, president of the meeting, and an executive committea which consisted of one hundred and sixty four ladies of social prominence and known patrons of the charities of the city. The address recalled tho praiseworthy connection of the recipient with the Grand Sanitary Fair in 18G4 and the uniform kindness extended to the donors during the Centenuial, and said that "Now, when you are called upon to take charge of our most important foreign mission, we cannot allow you to leave without a token of onr appreciation of your untiring interest in all that has tended to promote the welfare of our nation." The resolutions, which were engrossed, were presented by Mr. McMichael, who said that he considered the compliment tho highest that could be paid one about to go out from his native city. Mr. Welsh replied that he would take the flags and the resolutions to Eugland with him and hang them in his room.

And he hoped that if he should he spared to come back to his home he would greet all the kind friends now assembled. The ladies gathered around the few white haired and white boarded men on the raised space, and it was a very pretty picture. Two boys, in lull cadet unilorm, with crimson belts and dangling, clanking, fierce swords, stood on each side under tho banners. One was a major from the Lincoln Institute and the other a cap tain from the Northern Home. Around them were somo of their subordinates in dress uniform.

and all were the special pots of the fair throng. TIIE HAND'S II AKINO. The ceremony of presentation was over by half past 7, and for the next half hour Mr. Welsh chatted with various old friends as they came up to him one by one. Shortly before 8 o'clock the Carl Sentz band began reception airs in the vestibule.

The entrance was to the left going in and on the right portal was the exit. Tho guests arrived in numbers before 8, and until half past 9 kept climbing up in a continuous stream, six or seven abrcastj Ascending the stairway they bore to the right and passed steadily back through the north corridors, nnder the engravings and water colors, to Gallery i. Minister Welsh stood on the same platform as an hour before and gave hearty recognition to all. There was no time to stop, and onlv tha briefest congratulations could be given, for tha pressure in the line was not to be stayed. Moving out of Gallery the guests walked through the wide hall of busts and around the group of Centaurs and Lapipae with more comfort.

Knots gathered hero and there and friends chatted un til the ushers, sleek and urbane, or Mayor Stok ley's picked men, madeaugust looking by a glance trom the Mayor himselt, who passed smilingly around, urged tho guests to "pass on." loitekino before the pictures. Many loitered in the largo galleries on the south side, where face to face with the big dream ot West is the Mercury of Salvator Rosa and other pictures familiar to the Philadelphiau who stays at homo. One would mako the circumference of a train in a very kindly spirit, so that the ladies might in themselves out picture the pictures in the smaller galleries further on to the west, bnt all saw how impossible it was to keep such a thing up long without soro disaster to the robe, and so all moved on. Once down the rear stairway among the plaster heads and figures thore was room to talk, and between 9 and 10 many friendly parties stopped in the corners to do so, the mass reaching the exit on Broad street, however, with scarcely a halt in the tour of about twenty minutes. On Broad street tha crowd was large, and the carriages for a time blockod tho way.

When 10 o'clock came the entrance was closed, and. shaking hands until a few minutes later, Mr. Welsh retired at a quar ter past 10. Diaz and Lerdo Compromising. San Francisco, November 28.

A Tucson. Arizona, dispatch says advices from Sonora state that four hundred soldiers left that place to drive out renegade Indians from Sierra Madro. This will probably cause thein to come back to Ari zona. It is also reported that Diaz and Lerdo aro parleying to settlo Mexican complications. Lerdo proposes to torcgo all claims to the Presi dency if he is given Lower California, Sonora, Chihuahna and Durnngo, leaving the other provinces to Diaz, but there is very little hoiie of any compromise on that basis.

EFFORTS TO RECOVER THE BODIES, tit Wreckers at Work and tha Coast Patroled by the Life Saving Station's Men Another Storm Brewing and the Surf Running High. The Bodies Recovered. Special Dispatch to Thk Times. Norfolk, November 28.

Since 12 o'clock to day the weather has been dark, gloomy and threatening, with the wind due southeast and backing around left handed from the southwest, rather an nufavorable omen for tho prospects of settled weather, which is to be regretted, as it will in a certain degree retard the recovery of many of the'bodies, as the surf will again make heavy and drive them out into tho current and undertow. At 7.15 this morning the life saving crews were promptly on the beach at Kitty Hawk Life Sav ing Station, No. 7. Material was ready and boat launched at 7.45. Commander Greene, of the navy, with a crew and marine guard, arrived at Nag's Head, by the way of the canal, on board tho lug Virginia aud at once proceeded to render any aid and assistance required, At 8.45 the bodies of Charles Carson, lands man, and Thomas Armstrong, sailor, here tofore reported as lashed to the bowsprit, were brought ashore from tho wreck, to which a line had been fastened from the shore by Captain Stoddard with the life boat and crew of tho sta tion, assisted by the wreckers.

Captain Stod dard, in accordance with the authority of the chief of the life saving service, Captain Kimball, in Washington, has put in service all thelife sav ing stations between Capo Henry aud Kitty Hawk to patrol the beach for dead bodies that may be thrown ashore. The divers are all ready to begin work as soon as the weather, which at present is unpropitious, will permit. The sea is getting rough and the surf breaking furiously. Lieutenant Commander Greene will have the beach patrolled from Kitty Hawk south during the night with the seamen and marines, in order to recover any bodies that may float ashore. Since my last report, 8 P.

M. last night, the bodies of Lieutenant Simmons and Captain J. J. Guthrie, Superintendent of the Life Saving Sta tions, have been recovered aud will be taken care of by tho naval authorities until forwarded to their friends for interment. E.

H. Pomeroy, brother in law of Lieutenant Simmons, arrived hero to night from New York. The steamer M. N. A.

Cobb, with J. J. Guthrie, of Baltimore, and Messrs. Culbrcth and Loom is on board, left for Nag's Head this after noon at 5 o'clock, young Guthrie for the body of his father and the other gentlemen for the bodies of their brothers, if found. Captain Guthrie was a native of North Carolina, and was appointed from that State in 1833 as cadet to West Point.

Iu 1S31 ho left the army and entered the navy as a midshipman. He served in the Florida and Mexican wars, and while attached to the sloop of war Levant, in tiie East Indios, led the boat attack on tho barrier forts and captured them. In 1801 he was first lieutenant of the sloop of war Sara toga, on the coast of Africa. When the slaver Nightingale was captured ho was sent home in her as prize master. Ho took the vessel to New York, true to his trust, and shortly afterward resigned his commission in the navy and cast his destinies with the South.

Lieutenant Sidney A. Simons loaves a wife residing iu New York city and a mother and brother residing on Statcn Island. This estimable youug man made him self. He won his appointment from Now Vork by a competitive examination through the influ ence of Congressman Stebbins. As an officer he stood high in the estimation of all his associates, an honor to his State and a credit to his friends.

Twenty six bodies have been recovered in all from the Huron aud from the snrf boat, leaving two colored surfmen and seventy seven officers and men of the Huron's crew yet unaccounted fos. On account of tho strong counter current since the late gale most of the bodies found are picked up nortli of Kitty Hawk Station, and the indications are that others will be found along the beach toward Cape Henry and the intervening stations. Another Southeaster. Special Dispatch to The Tiuks. Norfolk, Novembor 23.

As was predicted, another southeaster is blowing to night, with thick, heavy weather and raiu. No boat can laud with such a surf as now runs. Dallas Sanders and friends from Philadelphia are at the scene of tho wreck, endeavoring to recover tho body of Paymaster Sanders and other unfortunates. Up to this hour tho only body of au officer recovered is that of Lieutenant Simons. FRENCH POLITICS.

No Overtures Made to the Left Tho Influence on Trade. London, November 29. The Paris correspondent of the Timet tele graphs: Despite reporU that have been circulating to day, I have just learned to night, on undoubted authority, that no overture for a compromise has beeu mado to the Left. Tho anxiety is increasing and disquieting reports are again current. The rumors are numerous and conflicting.

It is certain, however, that the budget committee are not inclined to adopt ex treme measures. It will only refuse to vote such portions of the estimates as can be withheld without injury to the general interests of the country. A Pans dispatch says The dclcgatos of the Trades Councils of this city, who went to tho Elysees to day, were received by the Visconnt d'iiurcourt, secretary of the President, who said President MacMahon regretted ho was unable to receive them. Tho dolegatos presented an address to the President calling attention to tho stagnation of trade in Paris and to the fact that many workmen and others are reduced to misery and embarrassment. The address concludes We think it lies with vou to end this danireroun situation and avert tho conliict threatening between the powers of Htate, by giving complete satiafiction to tho wisli which was clearly and loudly expressed at tiie recent elections.

The report of the budget committee on tho special accounts openod by the fie Broglie Ministry during the recent dissolution, which was read In the Chamber of Deputies yesterdav. but not discussed because the Ministers were ubsont from the sitting, amounting to IKOOO.OOO francs. declares the accounts illegal, and that they cannot be sanctioned by the Chamber without compromising the rights of the nation. By reject ng the bill submitted by the late Cabinet the Chamber would not definitely refuso to sanc tion tho expenditure, but would simply reserve its ulterior decisiou. Mixed Up In a Crooked IMstlllery.

Samuel McMull in, a liquor dealer at 592 South Second street, had a hearing yesterday before United States Commissioner Smith, on tho chargo of being concerned in the illicit distillery of Michael Shields, which was raided by Special Revenue Officers Mitchell and SelireUior on the 11th of October last. Mr. Mitchell repeated the testimony given at the hearing of Shields, upon which the latter was held for trial. John Potry, a driver residing on Clifton street, above Allegheny avenue, testified that some time during last summer ho was sent to Shields' place with a wagon, on which Shields and another man placed two large barrols. Petry was directed to carry them to a place on Second street above South, and did so; the place looked like a liquor store; the wagon was unloaded, and the barrels stowed away in the house.

To await additional testimony the Commissioner held the defendant iu 11,000 bail fur a further hearing to morrow. A Philadelphia Editor's Trouble.

Setters With Long Pedigrees, Pointers With Fine Points and Mastitis, Hewlbondland and Terriers Barking in Chorus, and Bull Paps and Pugs Turning Up Their Noses. A dog show is a poor place to show a dog. In Horticultural Hall are, yelping and barking, over five hundred canines, and a majority of them are as thoroughbred as any that ever drew breath.

But, chained iu their narrow quarters, they are seen to poor advantage. Tha sporting dogs of the higher breeds fret and tug against their chains, and whine and bark. The bulldogs and others less high strung, as though exhausted by the general din, sleep the day long. The two pound terriers, the Dandie Dinmonts and the other microscopic specimens appear frightened and dazed by the clamor of the mastiffs beneath them, and one and all are laboring under a disadvantage in the display of their many charms. Besides, even the practiced eyes of the sporting man sporting in its true senso or dog fancier can scarcely take in all the fine points of an English pointer or Laverack sotter when he meets continuous rows of thoroughbreds, each possessing some desirable quality exclusively its own.

The collection, However, is so remarkably fine and varied that even the amateur can spend a few hours pleasantly in a visit to Horticultural Hall. The setter family is well represented. There are nine varieties on show, including one hundred and forty auimals. The breeds include both native and imported English, Irish and Gordon or Scotch setters. The champion classes dogs who have won first premiums at any recognized bench show of these varieties, have each but one entry, and in consequence the champion dogs on exhibition bad no rivals to contest their claims and obtained the prizes for their classes by their mere presence.

THK CHAMPION ENGLISH BITCH. The champion English bitch, who fills the second division of class No. 1, is, however, such a perfect beauty that her charms may speak the merits of the breed. Fairy 2d, owned by Wm. H.

Gumbes, of Philadelphia, is 2i years old, weighs 50 pounds and is valued at $500. Her pedigree is traced so far back that it takes a genealogical tree with very wide spreading branches to tell the tale. Fairy's color, white and orange, rates high with judges and all her points are excellent. Like all her class, for in fact it betokens the strain, her eves, which are largo but not protruding, beam with intelligence and love of approbation. High forehead long nose, uroau.

at the tip aud nostrils large and open ears rounded and set well forward neck long, thin and slightly arched abovo; flag or tan sec wen up on the back, and with a coat fine and silky yet firm to the touch and long in the feather all these admirable qualities are in Keeping witn the length ot airy pedigree. Her long barrel and her large hips speak of both length of wind and speed. Her points tell the characteristics of all her class. Classed among the setters and figuring in the catalogue as of the native Lnglish breed is the brown bitch Flora, nine years old, owned by P. H.

Marett, of Philadelphia. Her owner betravs tho compiler of the catalogue by labeling Flora as a "itussian bitch." me regular Russian setter, which is now rarely met with, is an animal coated like a poodle, and which in warm weather is soon found panting behind its master. But Flora is an immense animal, possessing neither tne trame work nor the points of a setter, and looking as though some of her ancestors might have been cross bred with a wolf. She would look more at home among the miscellaneous animals. Probably the finest specimen of the pointer, in which class there are numerous entries, is the champion dog, Suapshot, 9 years, 55 pounds, owned by William M.

Tiletson, of New York, ana valued at M.O0O. lie has a full pedigree. THE pointer's points. The foil blooded pointer's points are like nnto those ot the setter, and yet, to the sportsman the diflerence between the two is great. The chest is fuller, the head not so light and broader across the cars, the feet round aud cat like, tho coat is shorter and softer and the interstices between the toes are not clothed with hair.

A finer set of sporting dogs than the 183 setters and pointers entered at the show it would bediili cult to imagine. George Haywood's brown ana wnite neiu spaniei mtcli, IN el lie, is a little beauty aud deserved the first prize. Her rpretematurally largo, lobe shaped ears, with but little feather, are set so low down that they almost reach her toes. The display of fox hounds, while not large, includes some handsome specimens, the Rose Tree Hunt, of Delaware county, entering three couples, all of them bearing evidence of the purity of the breed mid all of them having fair sized pedigrees. Tho Dachshunds, or German hounds, of which thero are eleven entered, aro comparatively new to the sporting men of this country.

They are small, sharp nosed auimals, like lieagles in appearance, and their peculiar qualities, whatever they may be, do not appear to be generally known. Thoy are excellent rabbit dogs, but useless for fighting game, as they have no pluck. Although non sporting dogs and possessing but little interest for tho fancier, the animals that excite the mass' attention tiie most are tiie mastitis, Newfoundlands and St. Bernards. Their gravity of demeanor and dignity of coiiiitcnanco aro in peculiar contrast with the amiability th.it lights up the setter's face.

The old English mastiff is rather a rare dog nowadays, at least hereabouts. There aro seven of them entered, Mrs. J. Dundas Lippineott's Glen having drawn tho first prize. The mastiff, while of'about tun saiiiii size as tho Newfoundland, is decidedly dilfercnt in appearance.

His coat is short leathered and sleek, his head massive and broad, face short and square muzzled, and the color most favored fawn, with the muzzle deep black. Tho mastiffs strength and counigo is proverbial. People not informed frequently mistake inastill's of lino strain for blood hounds, imagining, as many do, thatall large, fierce looking dogs of solid colors belong to the latter breed. They can easily distinguish them, however, by their curs the bloodhound's being short aud pointed aud the mastid' long and pendant. THE IMIO OR ALL DOOS.

Tho Newfoundland everyone is supposed to know all about. There aro twenty nine entered. Mrs. E. Fifverman's Nero, black, 115 pounds, valued at $500, takes the first prize.

J. G. Baker's (Wilmington) Colonel and Misses A. Burt's Scott, IliO pounds, aro as fine and intelligent looking animals as ever swam, for it is in tho water that the Newfoundland shows best his grace, agility and real intelligence, and where also ho has achioved his greatest fame. Full black is tho most desirable color, although a little white cannot always be avoided, and fully bred dogs are even mot with, though rarely, of a in indie color.

They do not all have shairirv coats, some having as littjo feather as a mastill', these being desirable for duck hunting. The St. Jicrnard has hurl his praises in prose and poetry, hut, although the seven entries are fine. large animals and as thoroughbred, probably, as any of their class, yet none of them can truthfully claim an uncrossed descent from the dogs with which Bernard do Menthon, away upon the summit of the Alps, gained such an en viable fame for good deeds. Tha Siberian or L'lm dogs aro large, tremendously powerful and terribly wicked looking brutes, popularly known as Siberian bloodhounds.

There are eleven entries. The dogs affect all colors, though mainly of solid hues, hut the purest strain is found iu thoso gray spotted on a white ground, like tho small Dalmatian or coach dog. Dr. Morwitz, of Philadelphia, has one specimen on exhibition, and from his kennels the pedigrco of many a flno pointed Ulin In town has its beginning. The collection of bull pups is remarkably fine, if such a term can be used in connection with such a subject.

Daniel J. Fogerty's Bounce is as ugly a brute as ever fought a match. His head is as big as his body, and both toitethcr weigh forty pounds. His nose Is such a terriblo that it is forced back almost to his forehead, 'he bull pups' points are of Interest only to a certain class of "sports," and these need no Instruction upon the subject. Alongside tho hull pnps are the now fashionable pugs.

Their name describes them. They are little animals, the pnrest bred being of the purest fawn color, with a positively marked black mask, and their noses aro tho most delicious little pugs imaginable, giving them that look of sauelncsa and independence which has captivated tho ladies, who now so greatly affect them. Thoy are fast sending Irom the parlor to the kitchen thoso long and long haired terriers, first given a name when Sir Walter Scott, In Guy Manncring, made Dandie Dinmont, of Churl icihopo, the master of'Auld Pepper and Anld Mustard and Young Pepper and Young Mustard and Little Pepper and Llttlo Mustard." Tho hlack and tan terriers are well represented, tho 1 pounds Dangerous of Charles V. Meyer, being one of the smallest. Among the miscellaneous dogs is (1.

The present condition of Germantown avenue, between Somerset and Wyoming streets, is a disgrace to a civilized community with any pretensions to regard for the p'slic health or sympathy for the brute creation. It is a vast Slough of Despond, with the exception of a few rods here and there of apology for cobble stone or rubble pavement, and this only between the railway tracks. The mud is bespattered over sidewalks by every passing vehicle or borne away in instalments by unfortunates compelled, by errands or residence, to descend from the street cars and plunge ankle deep into the oozy mess, which resembles liquid mortar.

There is not the slightest prctenso of keeping the roadway outside the tracks in any repair. In places the rain has washed away tho earth, leaving tho broken and thickly strewn stones of the old turnpike to form a sort of rocky road to Dublin. Yesterday afternoon about a half dozen decrepit laborers, armed with long handled stone hammers, were pecking away at piles of broken stone which had been dumped at. intervals between the rails, from Broad to Venango street, and others were shoveling up mud from the roadway outside the tracks and covering over the ballast. As wagons came alone the horses would stumble and displace the stones, the sharp, jagged edges of which evidently injured their hoofs.

Occasionally a heavily laden wagon is swerved from the rails, and its wheels go down with ajar into the gullies made along the inuer and outer edges ot the rails by other unfortunates which have preceded it. Wagon repair shops are liberally sprinkled along Germantown avenue, being, by a curious coincidence, located at the points where the most wagous aro broken down, showing the foresight of the proprietors, who evidently are never at a loss for business, as the highway perpetually brings grist to their mill in the shape of broken axles or spokeless wheels. A FINANCIER'S FALL. Suit to Recover ttlO.OOO from the Sureties of an Ex President of a Bank. The defense in the suit of the directors of the defunct Citizens' Bank against the securities of its president, John Weigand, to recover $10,000 upon the bond which they signed for him when ho entered upon his duties in that institution.

was opened yesterday in Judge Briggs' Court. Mr. Weigand testified that he discounted the notes of the Kuhn Brothers with the knowledge of the board. The Kuhn Brothers were the cotton speculators whose flight from this city ana their creditors caused the tailure ot the bank, which hold over $90,000 of their worthless paper. On tho part of the directors it had been testified that the president, contrary to the rules ot the bank, had discounted tho speculators' notes without their knowledge and authority, aud it was argued that the consequent loss should be repaired by the president bondsmen, Mr.

Weigand, while under examination, denied that he had exceeded his authority. When questioned as to what business he pursued after he resigned his office as president he replied I was a canvasser for engravings; then a canvasser for books, but I now am clerking." While he was upon tho stand the court ad journed until to morrow. A Reply to Mr. Ewing. Special Dispatch to Thk Timks.

Cincinnati, November 29. In his speech favoring a repeal of the resumption act, Mr. Ewing made the assertion that the president of the Dayton and Southeastern Railroad bad told him that hundreds of men had bocu offering to work on the road for bread and meat. Colonel D. E.

Mead, president of the above mentioned road, authorizes a statement that he has no per sonal acquaintance with General Ewing, and never spoke about the Dayton aud Southeastern or any othor road. He further says that tho men have never yet offered to work for bread aud moat, and that the company has, in fact, much trouble in employing laborers at good wages. It may further be said that the contrac tors of the Springfield, Jackson and Pomeroy Narrow Gauge are also needing a large number of men to work on their road, and offer good wages to all who will apply. The condition of laboring men throughout Ohio is very different fioin that pictured by Mr. Ewing.

The annual meeting of the Eeform Club, and the farewell gathoring at 1520 Chestnut street, was held last evening, and the proceedings were characterized by the utmost harmony.

The annual report was read, giving a history of the litigation arising from the attempt to collect the extra assessment of three dollars from each member, for the purpose of furthering the municipal reform movement. The difficulties concerning the re lease of the old Club House from the Florence Eeal Estato Association, which eventuated in the purchase of the new quarters at 1917 Chestnut street, were also described. The desirability of erecting an addition to the new club honse upon the side lot upon Chestnut, in order that privileges extended to the families of members may not be curtailed, is urged upon the club. The revenues of the club show a loss of $6,149.81, as against $1,001.25 for the previous year. The club expects to save about $7,000 per year by becoming owners of their own club houso, and, with other reductions iu expenses, an improved financial condition is expected.

Thore are now 659 members a considerable reduction from last year, owing to the large number of resignations aud suspensions. The board are not disposed to exaggerate the influence heretofore exercised by the clubiu city affairs, but should that influence be impaired by the withdrawal of the members referred to they desire that the responsibility shall rest where it properly belongs. They confidently appeal to their administration of the club during the past year to prove that in no former year of its existence have the board shown greater solicitude for internal good order or greater anxiety to be of service in the reform of onr municipal affairs." The Treasurer's report showed that the balance on hand October 31, 1870, was $1,142.56, and the receipts during the fiscal year just closed were J83.fi60.33; total, and tho disbursements leaving the balance on hand October 31, 1877, $720.40.
