i 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 UranscrijU.

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.

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.

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 city, and its management reflects Infinite credit on its accomplished Principal, Miss Maxwell, and her able assistant, Miss McCuen.

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 bail each. 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. ScrrosED Buroiars. Fast night, while Officers Sobllllng and Wagner were walking along Broad street, near Olive, they saw two individuals sneaking slyly along, and then suddenly disappearing Into tho cellar of the West End Hotel, southeast corner of Broad and Olive streets.

Ilepert of the House Special Committee Claims Against Ilussla to Offset tbe Alaska Purchase Money Reduction In tbe Government Kmployes The Stan ton Trial The Parker "Big Indian1' 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.

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. Ship News.

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. INSURE YOUR LIFE ttf TUB AMER I O IV ; LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY. OFFICE: N.

SfFClAL DESPATCHES TO EVENING TXTXaHlFsT. Washington, Dec. 23. 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- "If 4 us suppose, then, that the Deniooratla National Convention will be held umm tt.2 - ii time, ana together tn f ha . 1?

President Tbe grand railroad system that centre at Indi anapolis would bring to it the greatest num. her of people that ever assembled at any conven tion In tbe United blales. JUesldes, the railroad and river system of the South aud Houihwest. 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. British Columbia, containing a long petition. from tbe citizens of Vlotorla, praying tor tbe removal of tbe capital from New Westminster to Victoria; also, some statistics In regard to the coal and hBhlng trade on the Paoitto coast, 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 Grant, giving the employes of the War Depart ment a nominal holiday during Christmas week, will not be followedjby the other depart ments . , LATER B Y ATLANTIC , CABLE.
