Shipman & Goodrich, of No. S3 South Water street, who for eleven years past have been well known to oar Chicago trades men as dealers in paints aid oils, have recently fitted up their establishment with new and Im proved machinery for grinding paints. A personal inspection of their appliances shows that the most complete fimugemeats are for furnishing the very best material used in the trade. 'Their oil la put through the purifying process before being used, and the mode of grinding is such as to leave no grit, but to produce a perfectly smooth mate rial which will in all cases work well under brush, and the beating common to other mills is entirely obviated. Messrs. Shipman £ Goodrich am prepared to supply the very best paint in this or any other market, at reasonable prices, and in as large quantities as may be desired.

The fire was on the west side of the street, and the wind blew a gale to the east, com municating the flames to buildings across the .street, and at one time threatened all the buildings thence to State street. Bnt the prompt arrival and efficient working of the u Enterprise,” and later of •other engines, cheeked the flames, 60 that but two dwellings were destroyed—loss only about $9,000. The fire had gained such headway under the strong wind that the destruction of the whole block seem ed inevitable, and seven families moved their goods and little ones into the street, fearing the result. Another fire broke out at a quarter past eight o'clock yesterday morning, in the one-story cot tage 760 State street, occupied by Michael O'Meard as a dwelling, and owned by Mr. Spring.

Unsafe Condition or the Ooaud of 7xux>sßooxs.—Uu Saturday last we stated that r there is great danger of the building falling down upon the heads of the oernpants;” that “only a • tew weeks ago several yards of plaster fell, and some Ot the members narrowly escaped death." Cur Hears were well grounded. Yesterday noon, at the boor when the room was most crowded, a mats of plaster about sis feet in diameter fell from the celling, nearly over the President's stand, striking several persons, only one ot whom, how- over, sustained may injuries. Mr. Henry Nelson, of DcSolo, Champaign* county. 111., who had been introduced by a member as a Tiritor, was struck upon the head and hand, with considerable force—the plaster falling a dis tarce of 16 feel. He had on a stout high-crowned ■ hn which protected his skull, else the blow might have proved fatal. He received a blow upon the top of his bead, a severe bruise and gash upon his rigbt tempie end check, and his right wrist and am were very severely braised but not broken. The wounds were promptly dressed by Dr. Beaty, f*A the patient his stars it was no worse. , £ince it has been ascertained that the plaster in lie celling contains no hair—is composed simply jin* and sand, and has a downward tendency, jrAA after a Federal victory,) the members, <■ i* da their new theology, anticipate no evil from be |ow« bet keep their eyes constantly turned op, lest ybeyi* overcome by the fall of plaster, which Is 4 w*t serious matter than the fall of either ; * grain.

The Board of Police Commissioners met In reg ular serai on at tbeir rooms on LaSalle street, at *4 v’clock yesterday alicmoon. There were present Commissioners Coventry, Wayman, and New house. It was evident from the first that an Im portant movement was contemplated. Newhooso brought In the Turner man, who, before the same was presented to the Board, laid violent on the following affidavit, which we publish as part of the proceedings of the Board, and to give the Corparailon Organ the moral aid of the TnmuHg to sustain it In its charges of “Bribery and Cor rupt! on” against the Police of Chicago, and par* tlculariy against C. P. Bradley, the Superintendent thereof, with which that highly moral sheet will, with its four-line headings, astonish the good peo ple of Chicago this morning: State or Illinois, Cook county, sa.—Edward Tihiman mabeth oath, and ealth that on or about the f£lh of Augnet, 36G3, he was arrested for lar ceny by one o£ the policemen of the city of Chi- : cage. At the tune bo was so arrested, the police man took possession of his property as follows: one watch, one hundred ana ninety-four dollars, bis pocket-book ana trank key. That the proper ty co taken was delivered to c. A. Bradley, clerk of the police. That affiant was afterwards in dicted tor stealing a sum less than two dollars, to «it: iLe eum of SJ.Q\ and confessed Judgment thereon: that the prosecuting witness swore at the time sentence was pateed on affiant that affiant bad been of good character; that be had stolen the said mm of $1.65, and that be could not say that lie bad ever stolen anything further from bun. That affiant was then sentenced, and an order given for the delivery of the stolen property to the piece eating witness; that affiant has since by himself and attorneys made application to C. I*. Brrdlty and bis assletmts, ana they refuse to pay over affiant's money, falsely alleging that the const had directed thorn to pay it over to the pros ecuting witness, thus depriving and despoiling af fiant of upwards of SIOO.OO, bis lawful money, and for which he was never indicted by means of their power as public officers. Edwakd Tihlxan. £wom to and subscribed before me this 11th day of December. 1665. Jcnirs Rosenthal, Not. Pub. Commissioner Coventry was disposed to enter into the investigation of the charges then and there, but Ncwhouse said nay, and William Way man, the other Republican member of the Board, said nay also. So the matter was referred to the full Board, which will convene on Thursday morn ing at 9.50. Although not strictly belonging under the bead of "Proceedings of the Board," wb deem this a proper place to insert a brief statement of the facts upon which the affidavit is based: Several months ago. Geo. W. Schnauble. a ba ker, doing business on the comer of Sedgwick and Division streets', employed Edward Tihlmau as lis dirk and assistant. Sooneraftermoocy began to disappcar.and suspicion began to attach to me new clurtr. He was closely watched, bat for ser. e»l weeks he escaped detection. At last, one dol lar and stxty-loor cents, whlca bad been marked so as to be identified, was, found upon him, and Tiblman was arrested. Uponhlspersonandinhis trunk was found $123 in bank Wile, $ >5.1“ in pos tal currency, $0.05 In gold and silver and 23 cents in pennies, amounting to $191.67, a pocket book, a silver watch sod a trunk key. Tihiman admitt ed to the officer that he stoic the money from Scbnanblc, and also plead guilty to the same in the Icllrc Court, when he was held to bail in the sum of SI,OOO, to await the action of the Grand Jury. At the Recorder's Conrt his counsel, McComas £ Rosenthal, induced him to plead guilty to the charge of stealing the money that was marked (sl.C4).and the conrt inflicted some light punish ment. Fending this trial, Rosenthal presented an order from Tihiman to Bradley lor $:0. which be refused to pay except on the order or the court. Subsequently the conrt gave an order tor the sur render of Schnauble's property" to Schnauble, and upon the statement of the officer who made the arrest that Tihiman had acknowledged the taking and that it belonged to Schnauble, and the statement of Schnauble that it was bis proper ty, Bradley paid over the money to him nnd tcok his receipt for the same. The watch was levied uponVy the Sheriff to satisfy the costs of prosecution. The pocket book and trank key were returned to officer Schmidt, who made the arrrest, with Instructions to give them to Tihiman.' These are all the facts in the case, and each as can be substantiated by documentary evidence. We defer further comments until the investigation is ended. After the. presentation of the affidavit, the fol lowing resolution was adopted by the Board: JtocJced, That the City Comptroller be request ed to furnish a statement to the Board of the amount of moner received from the Insurance tax under section 5 of chapter S, new city charter, and what amount has been received from Commissions and life Insurance due, up to the Ist day of Jan uary, 1664, and whether any appropriation has been made of the same, and if so, for what pur pose, and lor wh&t amount. The resignation of H. J. Norton, policeman, was presented and accepted. On motion, the Board adjourned to meet on Thursday morning at 9:20. FIFTY-FIRST ILLINOIS INFANTRY. Betnrn Home—Dinner at the Sol diers' Best The announcement, in onr issue of yesterday, that the gahant Fifty-first had arrived, was rather premature. At the hour of going to press yester day morning, it was understood that the regiment would arrive abont 4 o'clock a. mu, and with this expectation we announced the fact. However, we were only some thirteen hours astray, for it arrived yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock, after a tedious and weary journey. On Monday evening, a deputation of the friends of the Colonel went to Michigan City, where, abont midnight, the regi ment arrived from Lafayette, tla the New Albany A Salem railroad. At the sand dty It was obliged to wait in consequence of the sand-drifts blocking up the railway. About noon yesterday the joad was cleared and the regiment started for this city, where it arrived amid the waving of the handkerchiefs of a number of ladles, who stood on the plaaaa of the Soldiers' Best, overlooking the railroad track. On arriving at the depot the boys were mustered in line and marched to the Best, where they were received with loud cheers, Vaas A Dean's Band playing “John Brown.” Here a bounteous dinner was prepared, to which the boys, after stacking arms, paid their devoirs, After dinner J. B. Bryan, in a speech brim-fell of bnmor, welcomed tbe boys on behalf of tbe citizens of Chicago, to which Colonel Bradley responded. Volunteer speeches were made by Mr. Bussell, Adjutant Hall, a paroled prisoner from Blthmond, and Chap lain Harm or d. Tbe band, generously performed several patriotic airs, all of which ren dered the occasion one of eaicyment. The men slept at tbe Beet last night, ana will breakfast there at 8 o'clock this morning, after which, if tbe weather proves tavorable. they will parade through tbe streets to tbe Board of Trade rooms, where a public reception win be given them.

Cor oner commcuccd an investigation, yesterday, into the causes of tho death of Caroline Dietrich, a German woman upon whom an abortion is said to have born produced, with the knowledge and con sent of her father. The facts of tho case have al ready boon published, and there Is no occasion to repeat them. Tho following is the material por tions of tho testimony: H'sn. fife/iAcfM, sirorri—l live at £2O Blue IsUnd Avenue, Am a dork ut Shoemaker's grocery. Saw body at the cemetery yesterday afternoon. It was that of Caroline Dietrich. First saw her at Shoemaker's a month ago with her father. Saw her afterwards at the boose of her father on Loo mis street. Dietrich is a poor man. II? said to her, " lam ashamed to golnto company with yon for yon look like a devil." She looked homely, old and down-heartod. She was endttUf* lie made no allusions to her condition. Did not see In r apaln for four or fire dsjs. Then saw her at ler father's in bed. She looked pale and yellow. Did not talk with her or Iter father except on busi ness mattcra. Bor mother aim sister wore In tho room. Caroline occupied the only bod tn the house. Did not see her again until 1 saw the corpse auhe cemetery on Bondar afternoon. Heard in it she had been confined, and also that a fetus bad been found on Loomis street, which was supposed to bo the child of Caroline, It was also said she had died suddenly— Don't remember who told no. Caroline was between Si and Si years old. Dittrich had two other daughters, both married. The child was foundinthe ditch frown up la the Ice, fourteen days ago. Heard the father ear when in the store, "1 thought I hade support outol her, bet 1 find I will have to support her." Mrs. Shoemaker told her husband In bt presence that she bad died of core throat. ScfUtia Bchxilt sworn—Saw Caroline once, on Sunday afternoon before her death. It was two weeks sgolai-t Sunday. Saw Caroline In bod, ller lips were Wee, and her face yellow and spotted. Caroline told me she was suffering from the scold irg and noise abont her. When her mother came into the room she was silent. Did not notice any cit’d In ted with her. After I left the house some onctold me that the body of a. dead infant was lying in the d'tch in Lcomls sheet . I, examined toe body and thought it the body of an eight months falus. The alter birth was fastened to the body. Saw the sister of the deceased at Die trich's hr-nse just after the death ot Caroline. Can’t swear that the child was the child of Caro line, but believe it. Think she was In abmtly way. Dcccarcd did cot complain of sore throat I was told that Dr. Mather bad been at Dietrich’s the day before her death. Think the yellow spots on her lace indicated pregnancy. She was bnried Tuesday aflencon. Alter the examination of two or three witnesses, which elicited nothing material, the Inquest was adjourned till to-day at 2, p. m., when further tes timony will be adduced, and the* statement of the father of the girl, the party at present Implicated, taken. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. Grey, Karshall & Co.’s Tannery Earned—loss 835,000. A fire, most disastrous in its result, broke out a little before 11 o'clock last night. In the large building owned and occupied as a tannery by Giey, Marshall & Co. The building was two hun dred foct In length by forty feet in width and three stories high, built partially of brick, and was crammed nearly full of leather, bides and material for tanning. It was situated on the east bonk of the North Branch, just north of Chicago avenue, and was enclosed between the river and the North Branch canaL The fire was first seen about a quarter to 11, and owing to the strong wind blowing at the time and the distance from the en gine houses, the building was In a blaze from end to end before the steamers began to play. In the space of an hoar it was nothing bnt a blazing nun. The alarm was rang for the fourth district, and the engines all went over into the West Division, and running up Halsted street, became entangled in thedahyrinth lying near the intersection of that street with Chicago avenue, commonly known as . the “ Fateh." Here they found themselves obliged to cross the river, and had to make a delbar to the bridge, though one or two of. the hose carts ven tured over on the ice. During the delay thus canscd the flames .wore each minute increasing their hold on the material, and the ignited pieces of tan being carried sonthcastwardly by the wind, not only put buildings In that direction in immi nent danger, but made it rather perilous to pass through with the engines. At last they arrived; standing down to the water's edge, holes were broken through the lee and they began to play. The flames mocked their cfloris. The vast mass of material there • collected furnished only too good a basis for a conflagration on a grand scdlc, and the flames were lashed by the wind Into maddened fury. Fortunately there were no other buildings Immediately to leeward, or no power could have shielded them; they would all have been involved In one common .oln. Nothing can belter exemplify the force of habit—tho result of education—than the fact that In the face of an ut ter impotency to chock its ravages, the firemen still labored on; still they poured volumes of water on the blazing mass, and ever and anon their lithe forms might he discerned flitting through the lurid glare, as with azo in hand they seemed looking for-a chance to cat away. But though they could not prevent the entire destruction of the building they were eminently useful In combatting the shower of burning rain which threatened destruction to everything combustible within half a mile of their origin, and lying under their path. The fire Usd at last expended its fury, and had Subsided to a comparatively innocnons stage by midnight, though the morning was Car advanced before the engines had ceased to play. ‘ The building is a total wreck, nothing remain ing standing bnt the engine bouse, aud , that Is probably worthless for future nee. The stock on hand conld not be ascertained, but it is known to have been very large,-and the establishment had been for some weeks running at the highest pres sure. The total loss is about $35,000; the stock and building were both insured, but not to the fuU ‘ amount. The origin of tbb fire Is a mystery, and will per haps ever remain so, though there Is some ground for believing it to have been the work of an incendiary. The flames first broke out In the part of the building moat remote from the engine house, and there waa neither fire nor light in that part of the building, the whole being heated by steam. It is believed that no one belonging to the premises was near at the time the fire broke out, bnt amid the bustle and confusion Incident to the scene it was impossible to obtain very precise in formation. ST. MARY’S OF THE LAKE. Tblzd Semi-Annual Examination—Ad dress by Or. McGovern—Exercises. The Third Semi-Annual Examination of Stu dents of the University ofSt. Mary’s of the Lake was held last evening in the new building just completed, on the corner ol Wolcott and Superior streets.

Bs spoke as follows: UlnlitMet'dMr&identand GentUmfnqf the Board: The occasion which has called ns together this evening, tonus a new epoch in tbe history of our University of St. Gary’s of tho Lake. The oldest institution of her kind in our city or State, we havebevn her pats tbronghat cries of vicissitudes which, it they uave thrown obstacles In her ad vancement, could neither retard her in her onward progress, nor deprive her of true and well founded glory. At> length the fast increasing patronage which flowed in, not only from our own State, but from the whole West, convinced you that a Uni versity, not in name, but in reality, could not only be supported, but becatr e a demand* In tho great westuti metropolis. lo&old your noble and gen erous project realized I By adding this to the other LuUdlige belonging to the University, you have enabled the Faculty to unite with the*colle giate course, tbe departments of Divinity, Law and Medicine. By this late successful effort you have extended the sphere Ofinfiutnce of your initituuon, to al most every department of knowledge. You bare enabled the Alumr.i of St. Man's, who may have mingled hie love of study ana boyhood’s mirth within her wtlls. to grow ut> under her tottering i are, and never be separated Irom his “ Alma Ma ter'-’ until she sends him forth a stalwart mao, to battle for rkht and virtue, and the advancement of enlightened mind*. ' . 1 gladly avail myself, gentlemen, of expressing to Lon our lively gratitude tocur brethren of thescca irclergy of tbu diocese, who have not only been in creasing In manifesting their attacanent to this institution. but haring after generously contribut ed themselves to aid this building, bare called upon their people to make their offering to the same object. The establishment of the Theologi cal Department has made tho University is a spe cial manner dear to the secular clergy. Hence they are to see go forth their companions, in after life, their hi others and co-laborers. In their all-im portant mission. I therefore may be permitted to repeat, gentle men, that this Is a great event In the course of existence of the University.

S. O'Brien, and Daniel Scully; the negative by M. Murphy and J. O. Higgins. The discussion took a wide range, and the subject was pretty thoroughly exhausted hv the four speakers. They all manifested a con siderable degree of familiarity with historic lore and logistical positions. They spoke well, avoid ing alike sheepishness and superabundant action. Bbetorlcal essays in Greek, German, Latin and French followed, the essayists acquitting them selves very creditably. Tho exhibitants were of course warmly applauded by tbclr friends. The proceedings dosed with a few remarks by the President. THE ERRING WOMEN’S REFUGE. Rev. Clinton Locke at Bryan Dali— The Bights ami Wrong* of Woman. Owing to tho unfavorable condition of the weather, the attendance at Bryan Hall l&at night was not so largo as could otherwise have been ex pected. However, a very fair andlence was as sembled, who listened to the fifth lecture of the course, for the benefit of tho Erring Women's KcfUgo-The Bights and Wrongs of Woman,bvßev. Clinton Lockc. Bis remarks were attentively lis tened to, and at the dose he was rapturously ap plauded. Tuthlll King, Ksq., took the chair, and in a few remarks, introduced the orator of the evening, Iter. Clinton Locke, of whose address weglve the following synopsis: . , ... }n alluding to the rights of woman, the speaker said ho dia not believe in the so-called rights, which believers in spiritualism, free-loreism and ether isms were always wrangling for. Woman is nolongcraplaythlnsr; she has become nauseated with the stereotype' compliments, praising her pearly teeth, raven hair and coral lips. She feels that her place is by tho side of man, as hitf help mate and counsellor. With regard to herpolltical rights, it Is said that she takes as much interest in the afiairs ot government as man, and' if so, why not allowed to vote. If she were allowed this Srivili cc, there would be no cursing, swearing or • hting at the ballot-box. The of man are first given him by woman, and these gen erally follow him in after life, and it is incumbent noon her to give ber opinion on these grave qnes t ens to lmsbsnds,broUicrs and fathers In relations to the affairs of government, woman has held tho reins and administered the rcsposibilities as well as man. Tho judiciary and legislative belong to and It would be abnormal for a woman to cccnnv those stations, In the minor offices, snfch as superintending primary schools and female iiriconV. she coma perform the duties equally as Wll as man. In the professions with tho excep* lion of the ministry, she is equally capable. In the lecul profession, she would find her path one of thoros. It Is not to be expected that a woman could long retain her purity, wile examining wit nesscslnacftseof crimopft. In medicine, howev er B he finds a broad and useful Held, particularly in relation to the diseases of women and cWl tlrtn. Hls entirely out of place for a woman to do <mt-dcor drudgery. Her constitution is not able to bear It. Civilisation Is shocked at the idea of a woman chopping wood, or guiding the plough. In the lecture room, woman finds a proper inhere, if by so doing .she llmparts inslruo ffoTVomen «ro ca.'WXl .“ill'fV"' .rioters, designers, engravers, bookbinders, 0U^ £ \twT thrt Bncakor hoped that ere long she K tMII Mid the false ideas of nunj mothers rc- SfiTKAIJ fflS; tally, unfit for woman’s poslUom thronlc traits in woman s grader rooeivM, a tSSSiful eulogy from the speaker, who psidiwr ccmplimenU to the Nightingales of Chiwgtb TmJ wenm should be paid equally as well MJgf ftj the same work, ihe speaker asld was jest, and In a very pathetic manner he allodea to starvation wages paid tho sewing girts In <wur Isrj.e cities. The great pollteuea* show® to llic fair etx !□ Ibis country is one of the bright est gen-sm cur crown of national glory, and the great advance trade by the Legislature in relation to she lights of married women deserted their gratitude. The speaker then reterred to the man ner in which a young Iwoman is treated by her • friends after haring been scdaced by some villain with devilish wiles. The seducer is pelted and caressed by the meat respectable in the communi ty.. Tblafsa wiong; whyshomd not the man bo branded ss well as the woman? The speaker in a very pathetic manner pleaded for the poor frail victim and hoped that the day is not far distant when she will not be spurned, out receive protec tion and sympathy frtm the world. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. Their Present Location for Sale—An ticipated Removal to Wabash Avenue. Ata special buslncssmeeting of the First Bap tist Society, held at their lecture room on Monday evening last, the proposition which has been some time under consideration, among the members, was thoroughly discussed, and after a free Inter change of views, U was finally voted that the church property, on the corner of Washington and LaSalle streets should he sold for not less than SCS,(.(O, not less than one-third of which shall*be devoted to the aid of other Baptist churches in the dly, and tie other two-thirds, together with other • property and contributions of the Society, shall go towards the erection of a new and capacious church edifice on Wabash avenue. The exact lo cality of the new edifice Is yet to be determined. The rapid and regular increase of the congrega tion demands a larger building, and the Baptist Society have wisely decided to dispose of this pro pel ty, now nnfit fora church location owing to the close proximity of business houses, and tne tur moil and noise Incident to business streets, and to erect a larger and letter chnrch In a more ap propriate locality on the church street—Waba»i avenue. We noticed yesterday that Messrs. Smith & Nix on have purchased the corner of Clark and Wash ington, on the same block, and that negotiations are pending for the property adjoining west. That block is one of the most conspicuous, most cen tral, atd formany purposes the most valuable In the city, and we trust tho Improvements will be of a character suited to this most sightly locality. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ADMISSIONS OF VALIDITY. _± Record of Cases in the Different Law Courts. In the' Circuit Court of the United States, the case of Frederick Bewcr, against Daniel J. Ban ’ sel, tried yesterday, was an action of ejectment of long standing from the country, with no interest ing feature about it, and we allude to It only for the purpose of quoting a remark made by Judge Drummond in deciding a point raised In tho coarse of the trial. The Judge said that the point involved the question lately decided in the case of Tesson vs Gregg. In that case a party sold land under a contract, providing for the deferred payments by Instalments. The vendee failed to meet the payments and the ven dor brought salt in ejectment, and offered no evi dence ot title except tho contract coapled with proof that defendant went in under tho contract, ihc court In that case held that this proof was sufficient-that the defendant by making the con tract admitted that the title to the land was la the plaintiff; and that as there had been a failure to nmift the stipulated payments, no proof of notice or demand ot possession was required. In that case, Mr. Ballancc ns connsel.for the de fendant excepted, and the Supreme Courtofthe United States had just given an opinion confirm ing tho judgment of Judge Drummond in that catealthough the Jndge said he had cot read the opinion and therefore could not exactly say the full length the decision had gone. In the Superior Court of Chicago, the case yea- Icidoy, the case of McKiustry 'S. Rclsingue was tried. This was a suit on a bail bond, and the de fies? letup in the plea was fraudulent collusion Of tho principal on the toad, with the arresting creditor, in permitting judgment to go against him in favor of tne latter. Counsel for defendant ask ed that the court Instruct the jury that the burden of proof with respect to this point was upon tho plaintiff; but Judge Gary decided that the ottfdcn of proof was in the defendant, and plaintiff re cov en d Judgment for abont the amount of six hun dred dollars. Nichols Brothers for plaintiff; Win dett for defendant. Recorder's Court.—The forenoon of yesterday was taken np in hcanngniotions for new trials. In the afternoon the case of “The People vs. Nelly Heller” was tried. Ncilywasarroetedaooutthrec weeks since on the charge of stealing about thirty five dollars from a customer of the notorious Madame Herrick, with whom Nelly was at that time boarding. The proof looked a little “mixed,” hot the jury thought It afforded sufficiently strong reasons for giving poor Nelly a rear la the peni tentiary, which they did accordingly.

The ‘Weather.—The road along the banks of the Tennessee Elver, from Bridgeport to Chat tanooga, Is lined with the carcasses of dead mules and horses. During the latter part of the fall the mnd was fearful. The long-cared gentry often got beyond their depth, and tumbled and floundered In the clayey mud until exhausted, and then with a hege snort and almost bnmsn sigh gave up the ttott, tbclr spirits, If they have any, leaving their arininc tenements sod lairing thdr flight to that re gion where all over-worked and exhausted moles and horses go. It is an Interesting sight to wit sees the death of a mole. For hours ho will lie upon his side In the soft mud, motionless, but {giving forth long drawn animal sighs, until the act gres t crisis comes, and then, concentrating all his energies, ho kicks, and flounders, and pants, and struggles, until, apparently hopeless of extri cation, be gives a ten me tray and dies. Not unlike the death of a mule is the weather. For three long weary months we have been bold in Icy fetters, Lut about the first of February, the rigidity of our bonds was relaxed, and so until the fifteenth, they were dally becoming weaker, until wo had hoped that Winter would vacate his throne without a struggle. The clear and gladsome days, beontilbl as the Mohamcdan’s dream of raradlso, were the dars of rest wherein winter man recuper ating for the last grand struggle. That struggle Is now upon ns, cold, frost, wind end stern, how the grim old fellow foams and rages { It is the last txplrlnggßHp of the while-bearded tyrant. In a day orlwo too struggle will bo over. Winter will flee before the golden sun and the warm south wind, the cronf courier of sweet breathing spring, flowers will unfold their beautiful petals. God's gricn caipct will be spread over tho broad earth, birds will sing, trees will hud, the Imsbandmnu will sow, end all nature, animate and Inanimate, will put on Us robes of rejoicing. Wo love tbo gloiious spring. It Is like the rising ot the golden sun after a night of darkness, like emerging from a condition of sin and dlspair, Into a statu ot hope and reconciliation. Poetic Justice.—One of tbo richest exhib itions of what may be called poetic Justice came off last night at the Prescott Douse, on the corner of Clark mid Van Bnrcn streets. There is a law yer of the city who rejoices in tho name of Wm. £. Cameron, and boards at the Prescott House. A lady boarder, it is said, citbcr was, or imagined she was, the recipient of a note from Cameron, covering insulting propositions, and concluded to teach the young Copperhead a lesson he would re member. Ashe was seated at the table quietly discussing his tea and toast, the irate woman ap proached and taxed him with being the author of tho letter.- Cameron denied his complicity with the affair; which only caused her to pour forth fresh tollies on his devoted head. Having exhaust ed her stock of epithets she retired for a moment, but speedily returned, holding in her hand an im-. meusc cowhide with which she proceeded to bela bor Hie shoulders ot tho unhappy lawyer. Prayers, entreaties and expostulations did not avail to stem the torrent of that woman's wrath, and Cameron arose and not-ungracefully backed hla way to tho ■ door, - down tho stairs and into the street, receiving as he disappeared a adoring cut across the face as a parting blessing. It was a highly dramatic affair,-and suggests a healthy moral. bounty Wari'undCora »s to one hundred and : our last report.

The coming spring and summer, will no doubt witness an unprecedented activity In building In Chicago. The utter Impossibility of procuring a tenement, the consequent high rents, and the fact that (he tide of emigration still sets so strongly Cbicaeowerd, that were a thousand housea now empty, they would be quickly occupied by new comers, will spur holders of real estate to “Im* prove,” notwithstanding the hl"h prices of mate rial and labor, and the great scarcity of the Utter, due to the absorption of so much of the muscular element by the army call. Ho class of property will be so productive as residences, and to few people will society be more indebted than to those who while patting money Into their own purses help td furnish domiciles at prices something like reasonable.. The architects’offices are showing signs of great activity, and much greater preparations would be made for the work of the season were It not that so much uncertainty bangs over future operations.' Building contract oia arc as a tnle afraid to commit themselves to a contract which they may not be able to fill at all, or only at great loss to themselves. It is Impossi ble to foretell what may bo the prices of labor and building materials six months hence. While we gladly note the rapid Improvement o» our city by the erection of fine buiidlogs, marble falneflu and mammoth stores, wc submit inatwhot s specially needed now—most imperatively de manded—is a supply of residences the rent of which will bring them within tho reach of the mechanic and clerk. At present, members of those classes with families nave to pay from one quarter to a half of-their gross earnings torrent and fuel.

There is plenty of room within our city limits to provide com plete lodging room for - three or four times our present population, and that without - materi ally enhancing tho value of real estate. At pres ent we have quite as mauy fine houses aa are needed, more In fact than would be tenanted were there a choice between them and houses ofa cheaper class. There Is no objection to a good bcnee,oreven a .find one, other things being equal, but tbs weekly wages are so much trenched upon by the rent as to leave nothing for ooord. clothing, opjnraltore, it is tho worst kind of gild ed poverty.

Sharp Shooting.—We were" shown on Monday the target need by the Michigan Sharp shooters who had been practicing, in anticipation of being examined for rank riSemen. The string required by the examiner to enable a sol dier to rank as a regular sharpshooter, Is five shots summing up not more than twenty-five inches. Out of fifty strings made tho worst was as follows* Five shois, at 200 yards, rest, whole distance twenty-four and five-eight inches. Tho best string by the men was, at tho same distance and unmber, the whole string counting seven and throe-eighth inches from tho centre. The very boat string has mad? by Ceptala Hall, of Company 0, who, with one uirfct at sixty-five yards distance, made a string offourteen shots, eight ot which cut one hole one-half inch from the centre, the remainder being within two Inches. The Captain has made another string of ten shots at 320 yards, the whole string counting eighteen and a quarter inches from the centre, the average distance being one and two-third inches each shot. These were with out a rest. There was not a shot by any of the soldiers, but would have hit a rebel, if he had stood behind the target.

Buying a Plano* Buying a Piano ordl’ narily involves a visit to several establishments to compare the merits of the instruments of rival makers each represented by their respective agents. And when tbe.cholcc is made, there is often the feeling that the Interest of tho agent has enhanced the qualities of the manufacturers ho represents. At Reed s Temple of Music, lu McCormick's mar ble building, the triple store fronting on both Ran dolph and Dearborn streets, offers an opportunity for selection from the instruments of half a score ot makers, from Chlckering's grand monarch of pianos to cheaper and more moderate instruments. Mr. Reed's principle is to give his patrons their choice among a range of ravorite instruments of the most renowned New York and Boston makers. Obviously he cares less which they buy, than that they go away suited with on' Instrument of their own selection.. Florecnc ZlccffcltL—Wc have before this, as our readers .will remember, given a deservedly warm welcome to Florence Ziegfold, a pianist of no common order ot excellence, educated in the first schools of Europe, and praised in high terms by the great Gottschalk, whom ho accompanied In his late concert in this city. Mr. Zlcgfeld is now ready to receive pupils, and may be fonnd or ad dressed at Heed’s Temple of Music. His profes sional talent is* enhanced by his amiable and ex cellent personal qualities, and both commend him to all the patronage he can attend to.

Hunter, then of New “York, whote views on Inhalation 1 had rood. Ho “ sooner badlcommcnced, thanlbegan to feel that “ the medicines were acting on theluugs m a man “tcrlhad never before experienced. I began to “ Improve to the wonder of my friends and fhysi “ dans, and this improvement went steadily on, “until ilo symptoms I havo described entirely dis “appeared. My strength gradually improved, and “my lungs once more performed their functions “ healthily.” “In about throe months rwas able to go to my “ office again, and still went on improving until “my health was entirely restored. White under ‘Dr. Hunter’s treatment, Igrintd la we'g'tt about * twenty pounds, and have gained farther since; “in foci, I have continued in good health ever “since. I have no hesitation unsaying, that had “it not been for Dr. Banter’s treatment 1 must “ certainly have died in a tew weeks.” H. M. Clark, of 130 West Klnzlc street, Chicago, cons ol ted me in July, 18G2. About 18 mouths pre vious howas attacked with what was regarded by his physicians as Bronchitis.. lie had been sudor tl\e care of several physicians, and tried various nostrums without benefit. At tho time of couiaii lug me his pulse was 100 beats per minute and res piration rapid and be.ng oppressive on the slight est exertion; cough, severe, and expectoration profuse; bad lost many pounds in weight sad was dally becoming more and more emaciated ■ Remedies were prescribed which ho was directed to inhale three times dally, with what result tho following letter, received from him, dated Tlh March, ’OB, will abow. Ue says: “After commencing to Inhale the remedies, my breathing gradually became more free; my cough and expectoration entirely disappeared; my gen eral condition Improved from day to day, until, in the coarse of a few* months, I was as strong and hc-allbyasoverl wos, and have retained this re markable Improvement, weighing to-day at least 23 pounds more than 1 did when 1 placed myself under your care.” William J. King, 190 Wabash avenue, Chicago, consulted me, January, 18C3—Is of consumptive tendency, nearly all ol his fomily having died of this disease. In 1838 he visited the South, in con sequence of suffering from a severe cough, nrofaso expectoration, great loss of flesh and strength, was greatly beneflued by the change, and continued In tolerable health until the beginning of January, 186;*, when he came under my care. His symp toms had become greatly aggravated: cough was distressing, breathing short and difficult, expec toration profuse and purulent, pulse 125 beats a minute, constant night sweats with chills, fever, and loss of appetite, and consequent emaciation. Ilia condition was considered hopeless by his friends. In this condition ho was induced to place himself under my care. In the course ol the first month be began to show evidence of decided im provement ; tne cough, which bad resisted all tho ordinary means in use, and which was very vio lent in us character, gradually gave way to the use of the Inhaler; the night sweats slopped soon af ter, the pnlso tradoally became less frequent, ap petite returned; bis countenance, which before was deadly pale and emaciated, has become full and healthy; In the coarse of a few months he was entirely restored to health, and has continued so ever since. This case is known to Orrin Kendall, Esq., corner of Washington and Dearborn streets, also to Edward B. Jones, Esq., Ho, t9i Wabash av enue. Henry P. Boyce, Esq., of tfao Chicago and Bock Island Railroad, had been suffering for many years from chronic bronchitis and congestion of the lanes, which so reduced him that his trienda al most despaired of hla recovery. He had consnltcd all the physicians in bis vicinity, and tried nearly all the nostrums of the day. witaout deriving the slightest benefit. Ho baa great oppression In breathing, cough, protase expectoration, loss of flesh, and general prostration. He consulted me about the middle of December, ISC2. Soon after he commenced inhaling, ho began to fe**l the change. Htsb’caihing gradually and steadily be came more free, cough and expectoration entirely disappeared, and his general condition Improved from cay to day. until now he Is almost as well ns he ever was, weighing fttllv twenty pounds more than be did when be placed himself under my care. Many oibrr cases might be given, but these should be sufficient to satisfy the most skeptical that consumption Is not, as is generally supposed, an incurable disease, and that in some of the worst rases there is still hope for the invalid, under ju dicious treatment.
