The committee on combining with the Kast Penn sylvania Agricultural Society, in holding an exhibi tion at Norrlstown, rendered an unfavorable report, and the Hoclety concurred In It. Dr. Thompson (Dr. Blight In the Chair) moved that a "ommittee be apioinled to make an Investigation Into the Imposition practised upon the citizens by hdulteratlng milk. The matter was postponed nntll next week. Ad journed. A Swiwdlbr. On Friday last a man giving the name of Thomas Rankin, and stating that be was from Pittsburg, entered tbe store of a well-known firm on Delaware avenue, below Cbesnut. He engaged in conversation with, one of tbe firm, and Informed him that be de sired to buy a large bill of goods, saying that be bad twenty-five wagons running from Pitts burg out Into tbe country, trading the goods purchased ;for butter, eggs, etc, and tbat he always paid cash. Of course be was treated with politeness, as a large customer nowadays is 'tbe exception and not the rule. Run kin looked through the stock, and bought a bill of 8101 This rather disappointed the salesman. Kin kin on leaving said be would be in on Monday and nay the bill. On tbat day be came in smiling, and gave a check for 1165. This being three dollars in excess, be requested that It be banded to him, as be was short of change. This was done. lie then said he Intended pur chasing some groceries, and would be obliged to ibe gentleman If he would introduce blm to Borne large wholesale bouse. lie was intro duced to a firm on Front street, below Cbesnut, Where be purchased a bill of $.3tJ0, stating tbat he would be In to-day and pay the amount of the bill. Be subsequently bought $UW0 worth of sugar, etc, from a firm on Market street, above Sixth, presenting a check for a large amount, and receiving the surplus. This exolted the suspicion of tbe Delaware avenue parties, and tbey telegraphed to the Cashier of the Becond National Bank of Pittsburg, on which theehecks were drawn, for Information relative to tbe responsibility of tbe Individual. The reply came that no such man ever kept an account with the bank. Fortunately the mes sage was received In time, so tbat none of the goods were shipped. The bold swindler, for such be undoubtedly was, has no doubt skedaddled for parts unknowti, as he bad not made bis appearance at the Front street house up to 1 o'clock to-day. If be is still larking In tbe vicinity, the business men should give bim a wide berth. He is an Irishman, about five feet eight Inches In height, dark oomplected, has light moustache and whiskers, and Is dressed us It be was a resident of the moun tains, or bad recently come from jthe coal-oil region. Violent Assault bt a Man upon his Wife. Last night, about half-past 11 o'clock, a man named Eau Bealor went Into a house on Queen street, below Sixth, where his wife was then staying, and commenced an assault upon her, as ft is alleged, in tbe presence of some ladles. At her attempted defense It Is said he grew more furious, and drew a pocket-knife, with which he attempted to take her life, but only succeeded In Inflicting a half-dozen or more fashes upon her person, some of which are hought serious. She was stabbed twice In the breast, once in the side, a wound extends over one of the eyes, a long cut was inflicted diago nally across ber face, clipping on a piece ot the nose, and in defending herself oneof her fingers was Injured. She is now under the care of a physician. Bealor, after committing this das tardly act, started on a run from tbe house, but he was soon overhauled and taken In custody. He was held to await he result of his wife's In juries, and to answer the charge of assault with intent loklll. by Alderman Tlttermary. Humor bus It tbat difficulties divided tbe two, and tbe lady went to reside with her sister at the house where this assault occurred. Fire.

The Grand Excursion that was to have been given to Cane Island to-dav. with a view of attending tbe double-team race for $2000 at Diamond Beaob Park, has been postponed nntll Friday on account of the bad weather. Although some four or five hundred persons assembled at tbe wharf to go, notwith standing the unpropltlous state of the weather, the managers wisely determined on a postpone- the excursion will leave Market street whari on Friday morning ate o'clock; returning, will leave i;ape xsianu at ou r. ju. A Monster Excursion went down to Atlan tic City this morning, under the auspices of St. Patriot's Church. There were at least two thousand persons in It, and thirty-three cars were required to accommodate them.

The Riverside Institute for tbe gratuitous education of soldiers' and sailors' orphans, located at Riverside, Burling ton county, N. J., may now be considered an established reality. This home is one that la much wanted at the present time. There are at present thousands of poor and dlitreed orphans of those who freely gave up their lives during the late war, who are in need of tbe comforts and advantages which can only be bestowed by an institution of this kind. Tbe plan adopted for the raising of the necessary funds required for this truly benevolent oause Is one that has alike received the hearty en couragement and Indorsement of all classes of our citizens. The snle of stock at one dollar per share, guaranteeing to the purchaser more than a fair equivalent for his money, while at tbe same time he is aiding In the endowment of this great Institution, la certainly an Induce ment to cause every one to be charitable. It must be remembered that each purchaser of a single share of stock not only receive! a finely executed steel-plate engraving, worth at retail fifty per cent, more than what was paid for the stock, but also guarantees one present at tbe great distribution of $300,000 worth of presents In September next. Those who purchase more than one share of stock receive other engravings more valuable, with a certainty of receiving one gift for each share held. The full particu lars of this very liberal plan may be learned at tbe principal office, No. 1225 Cbesnut street. Bummer Weather. The hot, Bultry month of August Is now upon ns. The season when sickness Is more fatal than at any other time. When the body is relaxed, and nature can do least to recuperate Its exhausted strength. At this time we require to guard, with more than usual care, against the attacks of the great enemy disease by fortifying the system with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters the most wonderfnl tonic In tbe world. A tonlo endorsed as a pure, harmless, and effective Family Medi cine by millions of human beings who have thoroughly tested it and found Immediate relief. By Its aid tbe appetite Is at once increased; .digestion recovers Its healthy tone; the vital forces are invigorated, and new life infused into the system. The weak, debilitated, and nervous victims awake to a feeling of true en joyment, and life, once a burthen, becomes a source of pleasure. Beware of the pernicious alcoholic prepara tions, purporting to be tonics and Btomacblcs, puffed up daily in the newspapers! Let them alone ! Hostetter's Stomach Bitters Is the one puke and reliable tonic and in- vigorator, and can be procured in every city, town, and village In the country. Hostetter's Bitters has a permanent re pa tatlon, which Is rapidly increasing as the years go by. All others are but mushrooms of the hour, and die off as quickly as they spring Into existence. Down among the dead men are, at this moment, thousands who might have been alive and well, had they used that great life preserver, Plantation Bitters. Let the living lay it to heart that they are the best known remedy for all dyspeptic complaints, stomach derangements, and general debility. As a dell clous cordial, combined with great tonlo vir tues, their equal cannot be found. Delicate females, clergymen, merchants, law yers, and persons of sedentary habits particu larly those who are weak and suffer with mental depression, are greatly benefited by these Bitters.

While many articles are recommended as curatives of this disease, none nave met wiin tne snccess wnion nas at tended the use of Uk. Jayne's Alterative, la connection with Jaynb's Sanative Pills. The Alterative parities the blood, gives strength to the digestive organs, and imparts a healthy tone to the system: the Sanative Fills change the vitiated secretions of tbe stomach and liver, and stimulate these organs to healthy action. By the combined action of these remedies, many radical cures have been effected, and they are therefore confidently offered to the afEUotea. .rreparea only at no. in unesnut street.

After seme other correc tions, Judge Fisher delivered the following charge to tne Jury: . , , Ueutlemeo ol the Jury: "Whoso sheilileth mans blood hy man shall bis blood be shed." So spake Hie A imigliiy to liis servant joan wii. n me Bri um"K had receded, aud the ark had sulely rested upon Hie holy euninilt of Mount Ararat. Ibis Is Uod'a own law. and ite wisdom Is acknowiedKed by all civl:l7.ed Dntlons. Now and tnen we meet with sempiternal philosophers who think themselves wise and above wlibt is wiliten, and who deem It their duty to lift up their voices in condemnation or tins flat of Jeho- van; and aiihouRb they have ninue lint few thorough couverlH lo their pernlt'iOHs doctrines, they not uu- frequently succeed In cientlng In the minds of honest and tender-hearted people a vitiated aeutiuieuiu!- lsiu, wbioh leads them too mien to shut their ears to the stern voice of Justice, and listen only 10 the iteulle, kindly wblnpennns of mercy, loriceitiuK that mercy to the guilty is lujustice to the Innocent. W Ith such sentimentality you have as Jurors nothing whatever to do. It is no mailer of yours to Inquire whether the prisoner at tbe bar la a proper suhject of Kxecntivecli-mency, If you believe htm guilty of par ticipating ln the crime with wlilcli hesUuds charged before you, but simply to determine his guilt or in nocence. When the dark clouds of war which for four years bad lowered In our ualinnal horizon had begun to lilt, aud the sun of peace was anout to arlailden ua aln with Its benignant rays: when 'Hie main army t.f Rebels which followed the traitor Lee on bis retreat lrom Richmond bad been overpowered, and had surrendered to the military hero of Hie age, and the army under Jnlmion was Invaln flying Irom Imperdlng capture; when our city was railiaut with Illuminations In honor of the duwufall of the stronghold of a most wicked and atroc.ous Rebellion; when the hearts or ad loyal men were leaping nmi dancing to the merry pagans of victory; and when the eyes or all lovers of peane throughout lbs land were eagerly looking to blm whose great hesrt had never cherished the feelings of malice tor evon au enemy, but abounded In love aud clmrlty for all, in the hope that ere another year should have passed away, the hands which had been lilted up against each mber would asain be clasped In friendship and brotherly .uu o.o unnnrnnu nimum uh again unueu In harmonious relations on lh14ih of April, lstvi, the Kxecutlve bead of this great nation, tbe Com in inder-In-Chler ol your army and navy, by a most tool and wicked conspiracy, the like or which has never stained the pages of history, was stricken d iwn at the hands of the assassin, John Wilkes Booth, ln the Me tropolis of the Republic, and under the very shadow of the Capitol. 11 istorlans aud text-writers may treat of the belnousiiess of the crime of Imagining the death of a weak or a wicked king, or or a wise aud benignant monarch, but you know, gentlemeut, as well as you know that you exist, that to murder the duly elected President of the most powerful people on the face of tha earth Is not less atrocious in its character than to compass tbe death of a king or an emperor, albeit be may have sprung from the strong loins of the people, who have made him their representative head, and may have no royal blood coursing through: bis veins. You may be toid tbat It is a crime sur passingly heinous to take, or to compass tbe llteot blm who was born to inherit a throne, simply be cause be may be tbe king of an enslaved people, but that to tuke tbe life or the President of a free repuhlic is an oflense of no greater magnitude than to murder ibe veriest vagabond that walks your streets, biitan American Jury will only believe this doctrine whfrijtlje people have become so demoralized and corrupt, so devoid ol the hive of liberty and patriotic feeling as to prefer to have a king aud ruler foisted upon them by the a"cldeiit of birth, or fortunate ad venture, rather than have tbe making tbelrown selej tlon of him who is to execute their laws, and for the time being to stand as tbe representative head of their collective sovereignty. It is a mistake to suppose that a free people lu any country will ever couslder it a more heinous crime to kI;1 a king, or even to desire bis deuth,than It Is to assassinate a President. It Is of no avail to tell you that to surround the Ufa of a President of n republic with safeguards as sacred and powerful as those which la monarchies are thrown about a king, as you have been told in the argument, is a moderu ide:t. entertained only by those whose eyes htve been dazzled by visions or stars and garters, aud wuo are desirous ot changing our free in stitutions for a monarchical form ol government. On the contrary, they can only be ajiplled to guarding with sacred vigilance the life or a President of aires people, who are themselves unprepared to submit to the will ota despot. Why should the people be lew proud or less regardful of I ne life or a ruler selected bv themselves, from among themselves, thaa tnev would he of the life ot him who claimed to rule over them of his own right? When thl Question can be senrlbly answered, l shall be willing to admit tbat tbe life of a President Is less worth the preserving than that of a king, and that to destroy the life of a President is a crime of less atrocity than to merely desire the death of a prince but not till then, uor do Jlheneve win you.

TUB VETO BANKRUPTCY. listens front the Pallnres of Rlr Mertost Pet and Overend, Uurnsjr tu C. From the) London Timet, July 28. The proceed lngs in bankruptcy against the firm of Messrs. I'eto, Belts A Crampton have passed their first stage, and four trads asiignees Lav been appointed to represent the whole body of creditors. The enormous claim of the Iindon, Chatham, and Dover Hallway Com pany against the bankrupts' estate for 8,000,000 was, of course, not admitted to proof; hut a memorandum of It, banded in by Mr. Llnklater, was received by the Registrar by way of notice. It Is, Indeed, manifest that everything depends upon the validity or Invalidity of this olatra, the liquidation of which ln full would exhaust the resources of many a considerable Htate. If it be established, the other creditors, exceptlhosa who may hold collateral securities, mutt re sign all prospect of substantial dividend, if It be tlefeated, we Infer from the state ments of Messrs. l'eto's solicitors that the assets, when realized, will go far to oover the liabilities. It was, therefore, absolutoly neoes ssry that all consideration of It should be post poned for the present, and It will probably en gross the attention of the court during tne autumn. Mr. Llnklater gave till parties fair warning, on behalf of the directors, tnat It was tbelr Intention to insist upon their rights, and that all the clrcumstatiocs of Sir Morton Foto's connection with the company would be fully disclosed. Messrs. Peto, on the other hand, re peated, through Mr. Lawrence, their former allegation that, Instead of their being indebted to the company ln six millions and a half, the company ate, in fact, Indebted to tbetn in some 3tH),0i 0. At first sight such a discrepancy seems wholly inexplicable, if not Inconsistent with, good laltb, on one side, at least. It is not, how ever.lirapo&siblo to sulcata somewhat less un favorable construction of it. The dlftereuce be tween the nominal and real worth of shares and. stock lu the London, Chatham, and Dover Com pany was great enough to bridge over even this chasm. Let us suppose, without presuming ta enter upon detailed conjectures, that whereas the one calculation represents the result of esti mating tbem at their market price at a given date, and tbe mystery ceases to be inscrutable. Now, we know quite enough of Sir Morion l'eto's relation to tbe company, in bis double capacity of contractor and "financial adviser," to rentier this hypothesis both Intelligible and probable. The slock of tbe London, Chatham. and Dover Company Is now Quoted at 18 or 17. and It would require 8,000.000 of It at that prloe to replace every ti.uw.wio sterling, riow such a question as this could have been left open in transactions conducted on bo colossal a scale we do not profess to explain; but, assuming It to have been left open, the previous dlllloulty almost vanishes. Several minor complications, which may lead to serious embarrassment, were brousrht to light at the meetlue on Wednesday. In tha first place there appears to be some confusion of accounts between the old firm of Messrs. I'eto t bolts, the name of which has been familiar to the public for eighteen years, and tbe new firm of Messrs. I'eto, Botts A Cramn- ton, formed in ISU'2 for the special mirnoso of this great contract. Sir Morton I'eto himself w as called, and deposed that while the liabili ties of the former might amount tosomothlng inuru timu nun a mimou, tuose or tne latter, aratt from the disputed claim of the Loudon. Chutham aud Dover Company, were estimated at about two millions. Many creditors are at a less to know against which estate thev should prove, and the Registrar consented to receive the claims or sucn persons without prejudioe, upon the understanding that, after .further In quiry, they should bo put ln against tbe right nrtu. Again, tne case oi creditors armed with, collateral securities gave rise, as usual, to muoh dlfcui-Blon. The law on this subject Is by no mi ans clear, and It often becomes doubtful whether the holder or a security ought first to realize upon It, and to prove against the bank rupt's estate for tbe residue, or may prove for his full debt against the estate, setting forth, the existence of his security, but without glvjug it up, to long as ne noes not ooiain, upon tne whole, more than his due. Here It seems that in certain ortbe proofs no mention was made of mortgHges held bv the claimants upon tha surplus lauus oi me xonaon, cnamam, and Dover Company, these mortgages having been originally deposited with tbe Imperial Mercan tile creoit company ny Messrs. Jt'eto, and ob tained uy tne Claimants as security for advances to this last company. it is not wiinout a sense or national humiliation that we contemplate the failure of a house which is identified with some of tha grandest mechanical achievements of the pre sent century. Perhaps no one, except Mr. Blrassey, has filled so high a position among English contractors as Sir Morton Peto. Not only throughout Europe, but ln Canada and other parts of tbe world, he will always be remembered as a leading pioneer of the railway system and a great master ln the art of organizing labor. Ills tall nas probably been as severe a shock to public confidence, ln Its own way, as that of Messrs. Overend A Gurney. It remains to be seen whether the lesson to be derived from It will be equally laid to heart. That lemon is the essential unsoundness of "contractors' linet." Such lines may dobblless weather tbe dangers of their Infancy, and prosper in spite of their principle; but the principle itself Is demonstrably bad. Common sense tells us that a contractor's busi ness is to execute works and receive payment for them, not to advanoe money or plaoe shares on commission. Common sense also tells us tbat when persons engaged in hazardous con cerns deviate from their own business, and even reverse their normal position, there la likely to be something wrong. Experlenoa more than confirms the dictates of common sense ln this respect, and shows that con tractors' financiering is an expedient to disguise a want of credit, fur which there are generally veiy good reasons. Tbe Invention of what aro kuowu as "Lloyd's bonds," though useful and legitimate under proper conditions, has noto riously facilitated operations ef a very different nature. Their object Is to enable a company lo go on constructing Its line without avail able funds whether enough capital has not been paid op to Justify the exercise of its bor rowing powers, or those borrowing powers have been exhausted. The contractor having carried out orders lor work which never ought to have been jiven, then receives on acknowledgmeut of debt on which he can raise money, since it constitutes a legal obligation. Knowing, how ever, the position of the company, he usually takes them and negotiates them atadlsoount, to the Injury ot debenture holders and share holders. We shall never recover or deserve our lost character for high commercial Integrity until we return to old-fashioned and straight forward rules of dealing ln our most gigantic as ' well as iu our smallest enterprises. It is hardly too much to say 4 hat all sound undertakings rest ou simple principles, capable of being grasped by ordinary minds. It is desperate for fraudulent speculation that requires an elabo rate machinery which cannot even beexplalned to the public, and the man who Invests with his eyes open ln an unfinished "contractor's line,'1 must blame himself alone If he should be ruined.
