THE MEDICAL PROPER TIES OF TAR.
The pine troo has long been known to povtess
Yaluable medical properties. For pulmonary
disease it Is doubtful whether any remedy has
M yet been discovered equal to It. It seems to
; change and renew the very structure on which
It act, aud to Infuse into the system an lnde
aorlbable power equal to the natural power
before disease had even taken hold of the body,
(to as to make, as It were, an entirely new tissue;
and to give a newness of life and energy, which
one who has been sick a long time knows the
Value of, but cannot fully describe. The great
Objection, however, to nil tar preparations, has
been tholr unpleasant taste, and consequent
liability to sickness and nauseate tho stomaob.
We have before us, however, a preparation of
the kind referred to, which obviates all these
Objections, and Is as agreeable to the palate as
It Is valuable In the cure of disease.
We mean "Dr. Wlsliart's Tine Tree Tar Cor
dial," a real, genuine, bona fide medicinal cur
dial, distilled from the nine tree tat, by a pro
cess known only to the JJjctor himself, the Hale
' and popularity of which Is only equalled by
the amount of suffering It bns relieved, aud the
number of diseases it is so well calculated lo
effectually cure. In the Pine Tree Tar Cordial
the invalid maybe sure he ha a remedy of
very extraordinary power for throat and lung
affections, and when taken in conjunction
With the "Great American Dyspepsia Pill," an
Infallible onre for dyspeptla, liver complaint.,
Blck headache, aud the many aliments arising
from a disordered stale of the liver and diges
tive organs.
In our sphere as pnbllshers, we fnol some
degree of cautiousness In what we reoomruond
to our readers, but when we know ol auythlug
of value to the publio we shall not herniate lo
make it known through our columns. There
fore we take pleasure In culling the attention
of our numerous readers to the advertisement
of Dr. Wlsbart, which will be lound In auolher
column, and we advise thoe of our readers who
aresuflerlug from dyspnptila, etc, to give Dr.
Wlhhart's celebrated remedies a trial, tiunday

Brevities. Th snowy covering of our
streets was effectually removed yesterday by
tne rain, in many places tne gutters were in a
very unpleasant state of Inundation. Tne
flouting Ice in the river somewhat embarrasses
the movements of vessels. The ferry-boats to
Gloucester have suspended for the present, and
the West Jersey farmers are compelled to drive
to Kaighn's Point to oross. On Saturday
night lust, the Continental Hotel narrowly
escaped destruction. Alter the Inmates had
nearly all retired for the night, a gaslight in
the kitchen department set tire to the adjacent
woodwork, and the flames worked their way
between the celling and floor. Therewas consid
erable consternation at Its discovery, but the
damage was slight. The amount of tax
assessed for November, In the First coileotion
District, is $.102,711 -95, against $377,477-18 same
month last year. It is proposed to introduce
an ordinance at the next meeting of Couuclls,
appropriating $.0000 to keep the Schuylkill river
open from the das Works to its month, during
the prevalence of the ice blockade. To tho
beneficiaries of the Bedford Hlreet Mission
House will be given a publio dinner on Christ

Grammar BcnooL Cblebratiojt. The cele
bration of tbe Klnggold Grammar Holiool at
tracted a monster audience to Hortloallural
Hall on Friday evening, and tbe pupils of the
school who took part in It acqnltted them
selves lu the highest degree commendably.
The opening chorns, a "Christmas anthem,"
was rendered by the scholars with floe effect,
while tbe solos that succeeded It, especially
-me ureen mils oi Tyrol." "Tne cnrlstmas
Chimes," and "Sing to me Softly, Dear Buster,"
were equally well sung and warmly applauded.
Miss Nones and Miss Deckle Conner performed
their dnet on tbe plauo admirably. The dia
logue written by Miss McCuen, one of the
teachers of the school, entitled "A Trip to
Paris and Back," was well received by tbe
audience, after which the Diplomas of Merit
were awarded the scholars. Several recitations
were given in fine style during tke evening.
The entertainment concluded with the chorus
'Good Night," which was charmingly rendered.
The Hinggold Grammar Sobool Is one of the
Dent conducted institutions or the kind in tne

"Murder!" "Helpl" "Shes killing me!" etc..
Issuing from a well-known vicinity called
Boyer's court, In tbe rear of St. Stephen's
Church. He neared tbe scene, wbloh waa en
livened by the fighting of two women, named
Allle Mall and Ellen Dunn. Tbe former, while
she unlovingly clasped the neck of her antago
nist, pummelled her faco with a stuffed water
fall of no mean dimensions, which she had tirst
torn from her head. Bonnets, torn wearing ap
parel, tattered dresses, blue and bloojy faces,
gougings with fingers, and oaths, all entered
Into tills scene. Officer Kendlg waded In aud
took the two vehement ladles into custody.
Alderman Beltler held them In default of $600

Hummkl's Grand Masb, No. 2. We are re
joiced that this splendid composition will be
brought out In fine style by Professor Henry O.
Tbnnder on Christmas Day, at half-past ten
o'clock A. M., at St. Angustlne'a Church , North
Fourth street. The talented choir attaobed to
the church will be materially augmented on
the occasion, for Mr. Thunder, like all good
musicians, knows that the choral portions of
so massive a work as Hummel's cannot be ef
fectively performed without a sufficient num
ber of good singer to do the music Justice. Mr.
Thunder will have a fnll force of oapable voca
lists present, and tbe Mass as a consequence
will be worthy of himself and the occasion.

individuals sneaking slyly along, and then
suddenly disappearing Into tho cellar of the

ol them was captured, and tbe other, although
he was the target for five or six pistol shots,
escaped. The one in custody gave tils name as
frank Donahue, and was committed by Alder

Affair.
special despatch to the etenino telbobapb.
WA8HiNeToy, Dec. 23.
Tartles holding claims against tbe Russian
Government for ordnanoe stores purchased
during the Crimean war have laid tbelr oases
before the House Committee of Foreign Rela
tions, and nrge that tbe amount (about (500,000)
be deducted from tbe Alaska appropriation.
Tbe claim Is based on contracts entered Into
with the Russian Government while the war
was in progress. Tbecloseof the struggle caused
It to repudiate Its agreements.
In consequence of representation made to the
Departments, to members of Congress, and to
the Committee, it is probnbly that the order re
ducing tbe force of workmen in the Govern
ment service will not be enforced on the first
of January, but will be suspended until tbe
present season of distress Is over, and general
nuHiness somewhat revives. When the order
reducing tbe force In the Ordnance Department
was received tbere last Friday, a deputation of
tbe workmen was immediately appointed to
wait on the Secretary of the Navy.
M r. Welles stated that he regretted very muoh
tbe necessity of discharging so large a number
of men. and said that it he reoelvedan olllolal
notification from the Committee ou Naval
Affairs, he wonld be glad to suspend the order.
Messrs. Archer and Htevens. two members of
tke Committee, have written letters recom
mending the suspension of tbe order, and other
workmgmen's committees entertain strong
hopf s tbat tbe order will not be enforced.
The case of timlthsou against Btanton, on a
charge of false imprisonment, if it can be
brought to tbe test ot an argument, promises to
solve many of the doubts wnlch surround the
question as to the extent to which an oftlolal of
the Government has tbe power to seize the per
sons and property of individuals without due
processor law. Hughes. Denver fc Feck, of this
city, having tbe oase in band, in March last
made a motion in the Dlstriot Court lo require
the defendant to furnish the originals of certain
letters, papers, and proceedings of oour la mar
tial. Mr. Stanton, notwithstanding It. said the
readiness of bis attorney to comply has thus
obstinately refused this request to allow the
originals to be seen, thougn copies are freely
offered. The attorneys for the plaintiff, how
ever, are not willing to receive these, as they
wish to discover the authenticity, particularly
of the treasonable letters alleged to have been
written by Hmlthson, under the assumed name
of Cables. These letters, as they appear in the
pletis of the defendant, contain information
respecting the numbers and movements of the
garrison of Washington in the first year of tbe
Rebellion. Upon this ground fcSmitbson was
arrested and confined In Fort Lafayette. After
some time he was released, and soon after was
again arreBled and tried by a military court,
and sentenced to live years' Imprisonment at
Albany, New York. After a brief confinement
be was again set at liberty by a pardon from
the President.
. During these occurrences it is said that a Gov
ernment detective, upon an alleged authority
from the Secret ary of War, turned the wife and
children of Bmltbson out of their heuse, which
was occupied by olHcers of the Government.
Tbe case has thus far been postponed out of
courtesy to tne opposite counsel, but the attor
neys (or the plaintiff have now determined to
press their motion for Oyer and Inspection, and
upon receiving an order of the Court to the
efl'ect, will proceed at once either upon the
met its of the case, or, in event of a continued
relusal, without giving sufficient legal reasons
to produce the desired original letters, will
move to set aside the Justlfloatlon set np by
the defence, and for ita order for contempt of
court against Mr. Stanton.
There does not appear to be any trnth In the
story tbat General Grant has dismissed Colonel
Parker from bis staff, on account of tbe latter's
recent conduct regarding his contemplated
marriage. An unofficial and informal investi
gation has been made into the matter, and the
result shows that most of the stories which
have been circulated, and some of which have
been published, relative to this affair, are
simply untrue, especially the one whiob states
tbat one ot the Seneca Nation waylaid him,
and got him inebriated so as to prevent his
marriage.
Tbe whole truth is that twenty-four hours
before the time fixed for the marital riles, Colo
nel Parker became 111 from a disease to which
all are liable. He sent word to General Grant's
headquarters of thefaot, whloh prevented Gene
ral Grant and staff and others from going to the
church where the oeremonles were to take
place on the day following. Such papers as
have stated tbat they were there in resplendent
uniform would do well to inquire into other
branches of the stories they nave published.
Colonel Parker is now lying 111 at tbe National
Hotel in this city, aud the mysterious. Indian,
who is said to have caused all of the trouble, is
not there, and has never been seen there.

THE EARTHQUAKE.
Further Details of the M bocks In New
York, aud Canada.
Tho Canton (N. Y.) Plaindealer says that
fifteen distinct shocks of earthquake were felt
at tbat place, tbe first at 3 o'clock, followed by
six more of milder character, at intervals of
about two minutes. At i o'clock two more
Blight ones occurred; at 4 35 another slight one,
and two heavier ones at 4 55; at slight ono at
600, and a heavier oue at 613, and a very
severe one at 627. which proved to be tbe last.
A large glass globe was thrown down In Conkey
A Sherman's drag store, a large mirror was
broken at L. B. Htorrs', wood piles were over
turned, crockery thrown down, wells riled, snd
other Oamaee done. We hive beard of no place
where the visitation waa so marked and distinct.
A lcttor from tbe town of Hammond to the
Ogdensburg Journal Rives the following intelli
gent account of the phenomena:
"A severe shock ot an earthquake was seri
ously manifested at ten minutes before 3 o'clock
this morning-, which caused tremendous excite
ment amoDg the inhabitants of this and neigh
boring vicinities. It opened with such immense
lorce.aud produced such a stupendous sensation,
tbat but few persons tailed to realize the whole
shock, although it belnn at an hour when people
were usually enjoying their sweetest slumber.
"The first indication was a peculiar heavy
rumbling sound, like an immenBO heavily laden
tiain of cars pasgiug over the frozen track upon
a clear, froHy night. Its magnitude was so
great snd general, that, so far as I hivo been
able to learn, within a circuit ot fifty miles,
almost every person was instantly aroused and
awakened. In a moment an undulating ram
bling sensation commenced, shaking the earth
violently causing the strongest buildings to
shake like an aspen leaf, disturbing and
frightening the slumbering inhabitants
thereof, many of them, out of a year's
growth, and mixing up in copious con
fusion things generally. Crockery and
glassware sutlered in many places, tin plates
were made to cut up sundry evolations, wood
piles coased to keep their equilibrium, articles
of furniture figured in serious gyrations, window
lights were broken, people were amazed, as
tounded, snd frightened, many of them think
ing tbat Gabriel had sounded his last trumpet
lu earnest. Being connected with the Meteoro
logical Department at Washington lor the pur
pose of observing all peculiar phenomena, etc.
etc., 1 hastened to the scene of commotion to
make the earliest and minutest observation.
The time consumed by tbe whole sensation was
sixty-five seconds; the duration of the shock
was forty-five seconds.
"The shock appears to have been almost In
stantaneous or simultaneous within the circuit
of my observation, and its progress was In a
northeasterly direction, and could be distinctly
beard alter all was quiet at this point. There
appeared to be three distinct undulations in
cluded in the shock, it being so sudden and un
expected that it was impossible to form any
calculations of its progressive lorce.
"The mercurv in the instruments became agi
tated and began to rise rapidly, reaching several
hundred degrees in a short space oi time. Soon
after the huge shock had passed away another
slight sensation was felt, which lasted fora few
seconds; no undulation was experienced,
nothing but a low rumbling sound, like distant
thunder. Again at 3 60 another sensation, simi
lar to the last, was niunilested with greater
magnitude. As earthquakes are becoming com
mon in this vicinity, and assuming such pro
found magnitude as the one just experied, it is
a theme which philosophers and meteorologists
might well undertake to interpret,"
The Montreal Oatetle has the following account
of the aflalr:
A gentleman residing in St. Catharine street
states that a rapid succession of shocks con
tinued during neatly three-quarters of a minute,
or while he could count forty. lie and his
family were awakeued by the rocking of the
bouse. After waiting for about a minute, to
see if the movement continued, he rote, ami.
striking a light, he found the time precisely 310
A.M. The motion wai between north nnd south;
he could not be certain from which side the
Impulse came, but thinks it was from the
north.
The sound was very distinct; It was a rushing
noise, and his first impression was that a high
wind bad sprung up with a strong gust from the
north, to whieh point his bed-room lookud. He
was immediately set riht by the motion so
peculiar to earthquakes. The noise Is described
by others as a rumbling noise; as for tbe differ
ence in the time oi duration, a heavy sleeper
would, of course, describe it as shorter than
one who is easily awakened.
Dr, bmallwood has faiored us with the follow
ing report, which was received alter writing
the above. lie describes tbe earth , sound as
having passed eastward, and not ns between
north and south, as does another Informant,
whose report we have above given:
I bad just retired (3 o'clock A. Ma December
18) to bed from a professional case aud was
perfectly awake, when I beard a low rumbling
sound proceeding from the west, whloh, I at once
recognized as an earthquake. This was followed
by a distinct and somewhat stroog tremulous
motion, which was succeeded in ten or twelve
second, by ft second and fainter tremor tban
the first. Then followed the sound, which
passed eastward, the whole last'iag, 1 should
say, nearly three miuutes.
At Point Bt. Chains the stoves In ihe upper
stories of some of the brick houses distinctly
ehoole, and in (Jrey Knn street some of the resW
dents rose from their beds and left their houses,
in great terror. At bt. Laureut, about six miles
from the city, the shock and earth sound were
distinct and strong. We learn that at Lachine
It was not ielt. I may mention that at St.
Iaurent the direction of the earth wave was
distinctly heard to pass from west to east.

The JhfelKo-enesr of this morning has a Ion ft
editorial upon the subject of the next National
Demooratlo Convention. Itadvpoates holdlnr
the Convention at an early date, as it la con
sidered that a protracted canvass and a tho
rough discussion cannot do otherwise than ops
rate in favor of tbe Democracy. It says-

taken as a whole, centres at Indianapolis
far more than at any other point, if It be said
that New York city is a great resort of South
erners for business purposes, and it is, there
fore, a favorable place for holding the Conven
tion, It may be answered with force and effect
that the Houthem business season at New York
is over in May. Moreover, if the convention
was to be bald on the Atlantic rim (so to speak).
Philadelphia would present superior claims,
because Pennsylvania is a State tbat must bet
carried. Her leading off. loo. In October, in her
blate election, has an immense moral force
upon tbe country in respect to tbe succeeding
Presidential vole lu all the States. In a word
the BUUKesiion of having the election In New
York city is simply one for having It where it U
least needed. "
In regard to the candidate, after ; stating that
Seymour and Pendleton have both announced
that they are not in the field aa candidates for
the Presidency, it says:
"President Johnson himself, with his groat
claim to the popular support for his uuexam-
filed political courage, constancy, fortitude, and
megrlty, has most unmistakably expressed aa
honorable sentiment of disposition to abnegate
any manifestation or desire for popular favor.
It does not follow, however, because of tbe hon
orable sentiments expressed by the statesmen,
referred to Seymour and Pendleton
tbat tbe delegates or tbe great States of
tbe Union may not present one. or
the other of them as the Presidential candidate).
But their course serves to divest such from the
embarrassments of private friendship or prece
dent views and aots, and enables them to put
in nomination tbe man whom the press and
tbe conservative masses bub tain perchance by
something like acclamation. It may be stated
generally , on this bead, that any man of courage
and principle, having the essoutial elements of
a wide-spread popularity, Joined to integrity,
sagacity, fixed resolution, firmness, and capa
bility, who by word and deed has given unques
tioned promise of an olHclul life or eternal hos
tility to radicalism, will receive tbe votes of the
conservative masses In this nation to a man.
This article Is regarded here as the Johnson
programme for controlling the Democratic!
party in the next Presidential campaign, bat
leading Democrats here will submit to no snclx
dictation, and say openly that neither Johnson
nor his organ here are the exponents of the
sentiments of the Democratic party. John sou
Is straining every nerve to put himself forward
as the Democratic candidate.
Secretary Welles this morning resolved from
Captain Emmons, . commanding the U. S.
steamer Osslpee, dated at sea in the PaolOa
Ocean, November 26, copies of the British CWo
nisi, published at Victoria, Vancouver's Island.

removal of tbe capital from New Westminster
to Victoria; also, some statistics In regard to the

which Is gradually developing. The eoal mines
In that region are being rapidly developed.
Tbe statement lelt graphed from here that
tbe Naval Committee had presented a letter to
Secretary Welles, requesting him not to sus
pend work at the dlffereut navy yards, is incor
rect. A letter signed by two members of the
Naval Committee, requesting him not suspend
workal the Washington Navy Yard, was pre
sented to blm, but it is understood the remain
ing members of the Committee in thla oily
reiuse lo sign It, and it being only an expres
sion of opinion on the. part of two
members of tne Committee, no. action could be
taken upon It by the Secretary. Secretary
McCulloch this morning reoelved Intelligence
ol the death of Oeorge V. Wilcox, Assessor of
the Third Dlstriot of Maine, with headquarter
at Augusta.
It is probable tbe action taken by General
