OITY INTELLIGENCE. rOB ABDITieNAli LOCAL ITKMS BIB IN8IDB FAQK8. X II 13 8TOUM. Further Particulars of the Damage Sus tained by It Patrmoumt and Its Miry Surroundings. The Rchnylklll has by no means recovered from the effects of the terrific rains of the past two days, the water being of a rich-mad color. The flood has subsided slightly, however. Last evening the river had attained a height Of six feet and seven inches at t be dam. At ten o'olock this morning it had fallen at that point to Ave feet and ten inches, but it is again on the Increase. In the engine rooms and otherapart meuls or the Falrmount Water Works there Is a sand deposit six inches in depth, with several Inches oi water covering it, and more still making its way inside. Tne machinery has not sustained much damage as yet, but the wood work of the establishment has been injured to some extent. The engines were forced to sus pend operations on Thursday evening, and until lour o'clock this morning it was not possible to resume - work. At that time, however, the four turbine wheels were set in motion, and will continue at the labor of replenishing the basins until high-water, wbeu It will be necessary to suspend again. The old fashioned revolving wheels are still motion less. It will therefore be seen that the greatest economy in the use of the Bohuylklll water is still necessary. Tbe streets and sidewalks have been so thoroughly scoured, that they can be suffered to rest from any further inundation for a few days. But our citizens should also bear in mind that a vast amount of water can be saved, by a little care and forethought, in household affairs. In the forebay adjacent to the water-works, tbe water has risen lo within a foot of the level of tbe ground, while its usual height is about ten feet below that point. In the vicinity of the arbor at the eastern end of the dam the water bas risen high above the wharves, a number of trees in that locality being almost entirely submerged. Tbe wharf of the up-river steamboats is also under water for the distance of several yards. The little ticket olllee at the end of the wharf is likewise deluged, and workmen were engaged this morning in balling It out. The drives and walks in the Park are In a wretoned condition, and before they are fully repaired quite an expense will be sus tained by the city. The handsome drive along the river front is under water at several points, and several of tne boat-bouses in the vicinity of the Water Works are surrounded by tbe In tractable element. Home of tbe boats were filled and swamped by the flood. i The manufacturing establishments in the , neighborhood of the Waterworks have bee n , . greatly inconvenienced by the elfects of the storm, several of them being still unable to resume operations. i The river below the Dam Is filled with drift wood and debris of all kinds, and the wreckers . are reaping a harvest in their way. A number of families have collected enough fire-wood to last them through tbe coming winter, and " others are still laying in their stock. One of the prinolpal sufferers in this respect is Mr. John D. Ward, who had a large quantity of fire-wood on his wharf at the foot of Ches nut street. Ills loss will probably reach $2000. The building, on the western side of the Schuyl kill were somewhat submerged yesterday, but this morning mo t of them were free from the watery plague. As the water is again rising, however, they may be subjected to still further , annoyance and damage. The people of Camden were Just near enonh to Philadelphia to reap the full benefit of the deluge, and considerable damage has been sus- tained A dwelling-house on Benson street, near Broadway, wes bo undermined by the water that it crumbled to the earth. A dwelling-house on Second Btreet, between Cooper and Penn, belonging to Mr. Simeon Ringle, was also damaged. Tbe north wall of the build ing has cracked in several places, and it is feared it will have to be taken down. From all quarters in tbe country we are in receipt of news relating damage to property in consequence f the storm. Telegraph com munication has been Interrupted at many points, especially along tbe line of the Balti more and Ohio Railroad and the Northern : Central Railroad. The lines west of Harrls- burg, and in the neighborhood of Williams port, have likewise been interrupted. "' The Btorm, which has now apparently spent ltB fury, was one of the greatest ever known in this looallty. Since the first of the month the rain-gauge at the Pennsylvania Hospital bas registered the fall of 14 565 Inches of rain, and during the twenty-fours ending yesterday noon ' we have bad 6 6S0 inches, the greatest raln-iall i ever known In Philadelphia slnoe the record has been kept at the Hospital. In September, i m8. 6011 inches of rain fell in about twenty i four hourB, but August, 1867, has outdone that hleh figure by two-thirds of an luch. '. A Robber Caught.

In thoq Rood old days when everybody that is now old was young, the pitching ora circus tent in one's neighborhood was an event which marked an epoch in our lives. The varied attractions which accompanied the show were of a char acter that appealed ditectly to tbe most ardent of our youthful impulses. The ringmaster, in his long-tailed, tlustil covered coat, was a beau ideal of dignity; the slow wit of the streaked and striped clown was the very acme of humor; tbe gyrations and eoatortions of the Bonbon Brotuers surpassed all our ideas of the Olym pian gamos; while the nimble heels of Made moiselle De Ilaut, as she vaulted, and leaped, and dashed around the ring, raised our excite ment and enthusiasm to the climax. But, alter all, tbe great attraction of the circus was the motley collection of wild and ravenous boasts which at times accompanied It. In truth, a circus that was not combined with a meuiigerle was little belter than no circus stall. These savage denizens of tne forest and Jungle were to be contemplated with awe as well as curi osity, and as we gazed admiringly upon the gigantic elephant, and the sleok and sprightly llKer, our minds assumed a melancholy turn and reverted to that memorable disaster to the former, as described by tbe doggerel rhymstor: "The elephant stood en his head to take breath, And the tiger-cat cosily hugged him to death." ' But in these more sober and practical days we sre obliged to confess that the "Uraud Tra velling Combination" or cirousand menagerie is nothing more nor less than a nuisance. An established and permanent collection of the curious animals of ail parts of the world Is indeed a most desirable acquisition to the sources of amusement and instruction in any city. The animals which are collected In oue department of tbe famous Jardin den 1'lante.i, at Paris, are the principal attraction of that popu lar resort, not only to idle curiosity -seekers, but to studonts of natural history. But there every thing Is orderly and secure, and such a lament able occurrence as the accidental swallowius of a roan by a hungry Hon or a malicious leopard, is an event that rarely or never trans pires. What Philadelphia most needs by way of1 a place of amusement, Is Just such a collection of the boasts of the forest aud Jungle. Huuli an in stitution would be amply patronlaod by our permanent residents, aud would prjyve the para mount attraollon to our country friends 011 their periodical visits to the city. It should embrace spool metis of all tbe known quadru peds of the world, should be arranged and con ducted in a systematic manner, and, above all, such precautions should be taken as would effectually prevent the occurrence of those un fortunate encounters between the beasts of prey and their keepers or visitors which we are every now and then called upon to record. But as for these perambulating shows, we re peat that their proper classification Is in the order of abominable nuisances. They are always imperfect, and are generally made up of the more common, and at the same time most intractable animals. Accidents are of common occurrence, resulting from the grossest careless ness in securing the monsters placed on exhibi tion. Tigers break loose from their cages and mutilate unfortunate spectators, while lions coolly stretch their paws through the rickety bars of their cages aud (.rasp the arms anil heads of unsuspecting children. Nor is this all. The keepers demean themselves towards the most ferocious animals as they would towards a harmless squirrel, and as a consequence are frequently transformed into an impromptu repast, nuon an event occurred a few days ago in a menagerie wblch was perambulating through Central New York. The lion-tamer, in tne luiness 01 nis conceit, was attacked nv one of tbe beasts with which he was perform ing, and before the furious animal let go his hold lie bad gnawed tbe "Professor's" back bone, ribs, and arms into bash, aud brought his nnlucky victim to tbe verge of the grave. We are in great want of a permanent museum of animals, wild and tamo, savage and docile; but of tbexe dangerous travelling caruvans we have had quite enough. : A Modern Miracle.

COUKT OF QUARTER SKSSIONS-Judue Brew ster, Henry Becker wa tried upon a charge of keep iiik his licensed drinking saioon open on Suuday. As several of these eases have during the week been tried, and vi ry fully reported, the public Is, no doubt, w ell acqualnii-d with tiie nature of tuis charge. The bills of Indictment charge merely tbe keeping open of a licensed tavern, not alleging for what purpose; and in order to a couvlctlon ihe Jury must not only find the fact of the place being opeu on the Habb.ilh, but niUBt also be nailMied that the proprietor was doing business dally under license. Jn this case Reserve Othcers Krant. Flnley, Daw son, and Hess testllled that they saw the defendant's tavern, Mo. SS3 Chesnut Btreet open on Sunday, July lis, and saw persons in there drinking and paying for liquor. Some of these oltlcers noticed on the wall of the bar-room a frame exactly corresponding In ap- Iiearance with these yearly Issued by the Clerd of the jourt of Quarter Sessions, to all licensed tavern keep ers, in which to place their licenses aud expose them to view; and could distlnqulHh on the paper contained In that frame the words "hotel" and "tavern," the most conspicuous words lu a license. And, also, a lady testiUed that on Sunday, Aug. 4th, she went out to look for her husband, who had been absent from his family sluce the previous Saturday morning, aud found him drinking at the defendant's tavern. The record of the Issulngof a license for this year to tbe defendant could not be found; and on this ac count iheaelendant presned for an acquittal. Rat the Judge charted the Jury that ihey were to be ver caieiul in trying these cases not to stultify them selves, and they must also be equally careful to do impartial Justice In these cases, it devolved upon the Commonwealth to prove that the defendant was doing business under license. In this case the papers necessary could not bo found by the keeper of them. The police officers bad described what they supposed to be a license, and tbe defendant bad not produced that article lo prove that it was not a license. They had a right to say that the defendant in this case conformed with the requirements of the law, la con ducting bis daily business under a lawful license. Alter remaining out all night, tbe Jury came In this morning, communicated their inability to agree, aud asked to be discharged. Tbe Judge said he thought the case a very plain one, and thai if this Jury could not decide It, Very likely no other twelve gentlemen In the city could. While a further consideration of the matter would keep them still longer from their business and fnmllles, still they owed a duty to tbe publlo that they should, If possible, perform; therefore, as tbe matter stood, he did not feel inclined to discharee them. After a further delibera tion, the foreman of the Jury asked the Judge why the records of tbe Court bad not been produced to prove that this man bad a license. His Honor replied that the license, If existing, was In the bands of tbe defendant, and not with tbe Court. If the bond given by the defendant in taking out his license were produced, it would only be prima acie evideucs of the existence of the license. Rui in this pnrncuiar esse me papers coum not oi found, and accordinely the beat evidence that we bad should be received. The witnesses naa testitied in re gard to the license, as had been before stated. In such a case the Commonwealth had aright to demand the production or papers In tue nana or tne aerenaani, and his refusal lo produce them went f.ir to corrobo rate tbe allegation ol there being a license. After another short cousunaiion ine jury reuun verdict of guilty. jaenry jaxier was uearu ou u.wm charge of entering a bouse with a felonious intent. There was no doubt of the entry, but no proof of malice was mane, ine relator wan, lonroiun:, uuijr ordered to give security in (5tw to keep the peace. In tbe case oi tne commonweaitn ex ri. vnuui Home v. The House ot Refuge, a writ of habeas corpus for the discharge of the relator from the House of Refuge, before reported, evidence wits heard this morning to prove mat me ooy was not. a ni suujeci for confinement. Hut the evidence failed to prove tliis. and the Judge remanded tue ooy DacK to tne custody of the respondents. , GOVERNMENT SALES. jQARGE SALE OF NEW MATERIAL.

The undersigned, citizens and members of the Re publican Party ot Philadelphia, having long known Mr. JOSEPH M. COW ELL, and well knowing his honesty and capability to faithfully and properly dis charge the duties oi any position that he would be willing to accept, earnestly desire that he maybe selected by the political party to which we are attached, as the next caudidate for the Sheriffalty of this county. Should he, as we trust he will, be nomi nated for that position by tbe Republican Convention In August (Inst.), we should take peculiar pleasure In giving him our cordial and earnest support in the can' vass and at the polls, feeling, as we do, assured that, if, through ourefl'orts In his behalf, we should be par tially Instrumental In electing him as Sheriff of Philadelphia, he would so conduct the business of that office that we should have reason ever after to con gratulate ourselves for our part in having aided to place him In It, Mr. Cowell has been for thirty-six years a resident of this city, during which time he bas given the most conclusive proofs of Integrity aud intelligence In dis charge of his duties to both publlo and private busi ness, as a merchant and as a publlo officer. The oc currence of the Rebellion was the destruction of his mercantile business, as It was chiefly connected with the Southern trade, aud, In 1801, he was appointed by Abraham Lincoln Appraiser of Customs for this Port, which position he filled with honor until, In conse quence of the defection from tbe Republican Party of Andrew Johnson, he was removed, because ho would not desert bis party and violate his own convictions of political duty. As a member of Councils, also, Mr. Crowell proved himself eminently worthy of public confidence. , Mr. Cowell baa been named in two Conventions of bis party for the Sheriffalty, in which instances he stood next In the number ot votes received to the suc cessful candidate. It Is to be hoped that In the next Republican Convention he will receive a majority ot the votes for this office. It Is the sincere wish of the undersigned that he may, and they hereby pledge themselves to use all proper means to secure his suc cess In that Convention, and afterwards before the people.

No 2 North Sixth Street, Phij.adklphia, July 15, Iras. 1 Borne eighteen months since, I was a severe sufferer from dyspepHla. I was not only unable lo take plain foi,d without suffering great distress, but bad become so debilitated as lo be almost unfitted lor active bust ness of any kind. After trying a variety of so-called remedies, all of which proved worthless, I was induced, at the sug gestion ot a medical Irleud, to give Hoofland's Ger man Bitters a trial. I accordingly purchased six bottles, which were taken in accordance with your directions. , The result was a complete removal of all distress ing symptoms alter eating or drinking, and a full restoration of strength, so that I now eat all ordinary kinds of food with Impunity, and am able to attend to all the active duties of a large and arduous busi ness as well as at any period of my Hie: the good ellects of the Bitters were manifested before I had taken tbe first bottle. ' , I have also used It In my family with the happlog results, and take great pleasure in addlug my test! monv to that of the many others who hava hu,n benefited by it. I find great benefit from the use of a hnttla In the the spring and ran. They not only create t vigorous appetite, but give a healthy tone to the stomach bv strengthening its dlireitive dowkiil , If the above testimony wl.l be the means of inducing any who sutler from Dyspepsia to give your Bitters trial (when It, I feel couttdeut, will give them relief) it Is at your service. , , Yours truly, , .
