8 TOE DAIL1 EVENING TELEGRAFI1 PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 18G9. CITY nTlILLmiMQIi, TIE PARTERRE AND THE TRUCK GARDEN. Tke Prnlta nnd Flower of the United Htatea Mature nnd Art-BIc Vegetables and C'urlonii Krnltn Thp Great Hhaw at Ilortlrnltnml Hall. IV'e yesterday noticed the Grand National Po. oloRHal Exhibition at Horticultural Hall, under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Horticultural 80 tetjantl the National Association of Fruit Growers, and commented upon the attractive appearance or ompiay, as it met our neitftntea eyes yesterday Morning. It was not until last ovcnlnir. however. that all the glories of the srreat fruit and flower show were disclosed. It needed the brilliant lighting of the room, the (ray dresses and the fluttering ribbons of Philadelphia's fairest daughters, the soft murmur 1 small taiK, tne nana in tne gallery discoursing Home of Offenbach's most enlivening strains, and the other sights and sounds of an evening gathering 01 oeauiy ana iasmon, to set on tne mellow glory f the pears, peaches, apples, and apricots, the lascious plumpness of the grapes, the fragrance 1 tne rare, curious, and beantirui nowers, the suc culence of tbe cabbages and the gigantic virtues of the big pumpkins. The plashing waterfall amid its bower of rare exotics anil tropical plants, with tno (treat aloe almost ready to burst into exquisite biossum ere fading away forever, formed a suitable background for the tables covered with the rarest products of the hot-house, the granorv. and the care fully cultivated orchard. With an appreciation of tne eternal ntnoss or tilings, tne whole or inc.iipper naioon is devoted to the rare and the beautiful in the way of downy peaches, luscious mellow pears, grapes ready to burst with the weight of their own Juices, red-cheeked apples, and flowers of nn Infinite variety of form, color, and fragrance, while the less beautiful but not to be despised vegetables, the beets, the cabbages, the turnips, the ogg-plants, the corn, the potatoes, the beans, and all the other triumphs of the truck gardeners' art, are relegated to the basement, where they can be examined and their virtues discussed In a proper spirit by stout ladles in spectacles, with market baskets on their arms, and elderly gentlemen, with broad brimmed straw hats, and a general n r of ncg igent rural respectability in their costume. Indeed, t ie people who, for the most part, fill the rooms at a dis play of this kind are not less worth? or study (tutu the fruits, flowers, and vegetables. Dwellers In the rltj weary of the theatres, the opera, balls, and all the 1 usual round of town amusements, and Bearehlnjj for a new sensation, stroll leisurely around the tables, their mouths watering at the sight of the rare ami luscious fruits, and their lingers itching to slyly a -Htract from Its place on the table some particularly appetizing pear or peach: wondering whether the potatoes grow on trees, and what kind of chickens fay the egg-plants, and finally winding up In the re freshment room to finish the evening with a plate of real Delaware county ice-cream. lint a large por tion of the audience is composed of people to whom the opera and the theatre are unknown and forbidden enjoyments. Young ladies, whoso freckled faces indicate a love for sunshine, fresh air, wholesome exercise, and a total contempt or innocent want of know ledge of such specifics as the "iilooin of Koses'' or "Email de Bagdad," warranted to remove blemishes and restore the complexion without Injury to the skin; stout matrons who view the potatoes and cauliflowers with critical eyes, calculating to a nieety the value of particular varieties for the garni ture of a first-class dinner for a large, healthy, and ungry family; gentlemen who black their boots carefully as a matter of conscience when they show themselves In public, but show a genuine rural dis regard for the latest Parisian novelties in the way of fancy vests and neckties, nud who are not over par ticular about the cut of their pantaloons. Indeed, tiow could they be when their undivided attention hag been given the whole ummer long to th;j pre paration of such vegetable curiosities as yonder gigantic pumpkin, that beet that can't be beat, or thatreaiai kabl ? cabbare that 'he excited fancy of the owner imagines to have a singular reseinblauea to himself, so that he Is rather oii'einled than otherwise if the visitors do not see the resemblance as he mands proudly beside it. speiking of vegetable curiosities reminds us that there are quite a number in this exhibition which attract the attention of visitors, and seem to relieve in nn agreeable manner the ni"re exeulleu :e of the greater portion of the contributions. Of course, ajuonjf the ei(-(! growths the big pumpkins ligure conspicuous, and if any higher pumpkins than a couple now at Horticultural Hall have ever been produced, we have not been lucky enough to see them, one of those great, gold.'n-rinded fellows would make pumpkin pies enough to have lasted Sherman's army during its march through Georgia. Its girth is so immense that a man cannot encircle it with his arms, and the only thing that troubles its owner is to know what to do with it after the fair is over and the admiration of the public has ceased. It would be a sin to throw any portion of it away, and yet the capacity of anv ordinary family for pumpkin pie is limited, and to get through with this would be a winter's task that f.-w would care to un flertake. Xext to the pumpkins come the squashes, and we have an assortment of these from the tender cyuibeline, not larger than a nioclerute-sized to mato, to the great yard-long a flairs, shaped like boomerangs or Indian war-clubs. Among these vegetables there are one or two curious and inte resting specimens of Japanese squashes, in which a portiun of the vine is Imbedded in the fruit. In spite f this singularity, this variety is said to be of more than usually excellent flavor, when properly treated by . an experienced cook. In the way of beets the vagaries of nature are displayed in many strange ways, one Hpeclmcn that attracts much attention is quite sculp turesque, and the resemblance to the human form divine is so exact that au old ladv, evidently from the country, after surveying it attentively for some moments, hurried oil' in high dudgeon, tiking with nera iair creature 01 perhaps sonw eighteen sum mers, ami suggesting, as she went, that the horrid Mhing ought to have some clothes on It. We hope that the managers of the show will heed this sug gestion, for a good many of their visitors have not yet had their morals corrupted by the leg dram 1, and allowances must Iks made for the deficiencies of a bucolic education. The display of egg-plants is very line. There is a great number both of the white and the purple va rieties, and they are of all sizes, f rom that of the legitimate hen-fruit to the twenty-four inch h.-ads which George Francis Train asserts are the distin guishing characteristic of ihe newspaper men of America. We tried our hat on one of the largest Bpecimcns in the exhibition, ami it fitted about an inch too much. Besides the while and the purple egg plants there is a mixed variety, in which the white is delicately striped with the purple, suggestive of the streak of fat and the streak of lean in the Irish man's bacon. But we might go on forever if we undertook to describe all the noticeable vegetables in detail, and for fear of trenching upon the reserved apace of our scientific editor, who is jealous of his rights, we can only recommend our readers to go and see for themselves, and we can assure them that they will be much more editled than by reading any description of ours, 110 matter how eloquently we may discourse. To come from the merely useful and curious to the beautiful and rare, we doubt whether there has ever been so fine a dlsplav of delicious fruits seen in this city before. I'pontiio tables In the main hall are an almost endless variety of flowers and fruits of the most delicious perfume and appetizing flavor. Pennsylvania, of course, is the most largely repre sented, but New. York, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Virginia, Kansas, Illinois, and California are all re presented with fine specimens, ol their orchards and graperies. The contributions from Kansas are par ticularly tine, and evident pains have been taken to give a favorable impression of the horticultural pro gress of one of our newest States. The contribu tions represent thirty counties, and an exteut.of 800 miles north and south and 150 miles east and west. The Legislature, with commendable liberality, ap propriated JfiOO to assist the State Horticultural So ciety In making as tine a show as possible, and the society has certainly done itself and the Stale credit. From California there aie. some very line speci mens of native wine, which the best judges assert will vie in flavor with the most vaunted foreign brands. The grape show Is also very attractive. There are all kinds and sizes, from the little Dela ware grapes, scarcely larger than peas, to the Black Hamburg and Muscatels, with berries nearly as big as walnuts. Some of the grape-growers have ex erted themselves to produce superior specimens for the exhibition, and some of the bunches are as much as a grown man can well carry without assistance. )ne splendid cluster that was held up before our de lighted gaze measured more than two feet from the Blent to the lowermost berry, and the size ami lus. clous flavor of the fruit were in keeping with tlio hugeness of the bunch. Outside of the fruit-ladeued tables, and ranged along the walls of the hall under the galleiies, are rare exotic plants, with their cunningly variegated leaves and singular shapes, and suspended from the galleries are hanging-baskets full of beautiful creep ing plants and flowering vlues. The array of cut flowers is very attractive, and one Very handsome design by Graham, of this city, is oue of the chief features of the exhibition. The hall has been arranged with much taste. One or two terra cotta garden statues Oil up the vacant spaces In the middle of the room nicely, and the fruits and flowers re so displayed as to show to the best advantage. On Friday evening the banquet given by the Penn sylvania Horticultural bociety to tue members of tne Pomological Congress will take p ace. Tills we un derstand will be rather a collation than a banquet, and It will be conducted in a less format manner than neb great feeds usually are. The guests will not be provided with seuW at the tables, but they will be irwetfid to munch their applet and Bear while promenading to the music of a tirst-class band. The rale will be eat all you want, but don t carry any iajuc sway, and special detectives will be provided to see that some of the best things In the way of pears, peaches, and other portables are not carried off for the beaeftt of the loved ones at home. The tickets for the banquet ran be procured of II. A. Dreer, No. 714 Cnesmit street. Proceedings of the American Fomolofflcal Moclcty.

Sim propriety of changing not only the nam-? but tho objects of the society; that it should hereafter include not only pomology but general horti nilture. As the greater always included tho less, Muy certainly could .lose nothing by enlarging their iteiu auu covering a more extensive ground. It was very desirable that those living in one section snouiu tuus uc ame to learn how plants and trees thrived la other sections. At the West the question of hedges was an important one, as fruits could be advantageously grown without them; and the same principle applied to all orna mental culture. On motion of Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, the subjjet was referred to the Kxccutive Committee, with iu struetioKS to report thereupon. Mr. Elliott, on behalf ol the Committee on Order of Business, reported the following regulations: Two sessions, one at 9 A. M., the other at 3 P. M.

They evidently hurried from the residence on L'ighth street to the pork liouse, passed themselves in, locked the door, opened both doors of the safe, and made their search in perfect safety. They took from its corner a tin box, which, apparently without opening, they laid down again In another place. It contained ten thousand dollars in bonds, of which no note of numbers had been made, equal, therefore, to I10.O00 in cash: from a cash drawer they took Jisoo; from another drawer they took bundles of paper, representing to Mr. Swift one hundred and seventy odd thousand dollars, and with these and the cash in their possession made their scape, taking the duplicate kevs with them.

The fact of the almost murder or Olllcer Brooks, followed by the kniling of Drybcrg, have scarcely been properly placed before the public, when we are again called on to chronicle a case of homicide at Frankford, and a shooting on what Is known as "the Neck.'1 The circumstances of the shooting are as lollows: On I'ntty street, below Franklin, Twenty-third ward, tlu re is a tavern kept by Win. Maroncy. in 'his tlrinkery a quarrel arose between a Samuel sinister, a bricklayer by trade, and a James McLaughlin. Wortls lor a time suilicetl, but finally McLaughlin struck Sinister a stunning blow iu the face, knocking him down. In falling he struck a chair, and it is supposed he dislocated his neck, as he was rendered speechless anil helpless. He lived about thirty minutes after he had been struck. McLaughlin, on learning that Shuster was dying, :eit the hotel and made his ecnpe. Information of the tragedy had in the meantime been telegraphed to the Central Station, and Deputy Coroner Fletcher, accompanied by Special Otllcers Gordon and Roberts, drove to Frankford and Insti tuted a search for the fugitive. They scoured the place, but were unable to get on his track, and up to the present writing he has escaped capture. McLaughlin is described as being about five feet six inches high, smooth face, has dark curly hair, ami wore a dark sack coat and dark blue cap; has an anchor marked on one of his arms, and wore a tigured muslin shirt. Whilst, this was going on at Frankford another bloody deed was being perpetrated on the already well known place the "Dearing farm." Ellwooil Kelley, aged seventeen years, residing at No. 2118 Catharine street, and Philip Bond, auother youth, .went gunning after reed birds in the First ward. hiisi. they were roaming around in search of game New burgh Gill, another youth, who lives in a court running ont of Concord street, near Second, with whom Kelly is acquainted, came along. Ho took hold of Kelley s gun and handled it in a very careless way. Kelley warned him to beware, that he might do nnschief. Gill playfully remarked, "I will shoot you," and, pointing the gun towards Kelley, tired. The latter escaped th - charge and ran behind a hay stack, followed by Gill, who again lired, whether with the intention of injuring Kelley Is not known. The entire load of small shot entered the back of Kelley in the right side, woundiug him seriously. He was immediately removed to the Pennsylvania Hos pital for treatment. About 11 o'clock last night Gill delivered Himself up to Sergeant Ward, of the Second district force. He remained in custody at the station-house until this morning at 11'.; o'clock, when Sergeant Ward brought him before his Honor Mayor Fox. His father and mother accompanied, as "did also the rather of Kelley, with several other witnesses. Both sides were anxious to make certain statements, anil Mr. Kelley expressed his entire willingness that Gill should be admitted to bail. The Mayor, however, refused to take any action In the matter just then, and remanded Gill to cus tody for a hearing at 2 o'clock to-day. It has siuce been nxcertnlucd that Kelley's injuries are not us serious as It was at first supposed. George Elliott, who is charged with being con cerned in the attack upon Colonel Seibert, was arrested this morning at Frankford, and will have a healing at the Central this afternoon. - Internal Revknvb Decision Letter fkom Commissioner Delano.

Tho case of Frank Mooney against tho owners of the steamer FlisU for damages for outrageous treatment nt the hands of John Garrett, mate of the steamer, Is before Justice Jccks. When rooncy's account of his sufferings was first published, no credence was ilnced on it, but the evidence in the case discloses outrages committed by Garrett almost unprecedented, and what was thought a grossly exaggerated etory seems to have fallen short of the facts of the case.

Arnold had a large number of mantels packed awaiting shipment, all of which were destroyed. He has nn insurance of tcneo in the Pennsylvania Fire Insifutice Company, of this city, on stock, fixtures, and machinery, but this will hardly cover his loss.

It is a fact that will not bo controverted that Dyspepsia U a national diteanc, to be found from tho Presi dential mansion to the humble cottage alone tho marshes of the Atlantic. fymjfomThcre aro scarcely two cases of Dyspepsia alike. The symptoms vary. In one case thej may bo cold hands and feet, oppressive soreness and pain In the pit of tho stomach, drowsiness after meals. In another, costiveness, heartburn (so called)' tormenting feelings, both mental and physical' In a third, nervousness, tho spirits depressed, a foreboding of evil, the mind so depressed that in some cases there is extreme melancholy, and the sufferer Is led to commit suicide. In another harassing bclehlnp., saliva or a watery subl stance profusely running from tho mouth, throat irritated with a dry couSh, skin dry, then cold, the stools clay colored, restlessness at night sleep easily disturbed, frightful dreams, at one time bowels constipated, thcndlarrlucaor dysen tery, caused by foul matter iu the stomach, caus ing apoplexy and other diseases beyond the power of human skill te control. What will cure it? By indigestion the food lies in tho stomach ' and is decomposed by heat, etc., Into a mucus this mucus adheres to the walls of tho stomach until a false membrane is formed, which para lyzes the functions of the digestive organs. To perform a enrc this false membrane must bo de tached, and the stomach healed and brought buck to natural tone; without effecting this, itij impossible to effect a cure, and in this mode of treatment lies Dr. L. Q. (J. WISIIAK T8 wonderful cures of tho Dyspepsia. The Dyspepsln Pills remove the false lining, and the Pino Tree Tar Cordial heals, making a perfect cure of thil Oread ful disease. THE VIRTUES OF TAR. A very ingenious 'sell" upon tho Royal So ciety ol (Jrcat Britain was perpetrated by Sir Umrles Hanbury Williams, a wicked wag of the ngc, during the furore caused by the discovery of the wonderful healing powers of TAR. WATER Sir Charles sent a communication to tho President relating the circumstances of a. sailor's breaking his leg on board of the guard ship nt Chatham, and its perfect union and cure by au application of spun oakum soaked In tor. Alter the . communication had been read and printed in the Royal Transactions, ho sent a second letter, stating that he hud forgotten to state In the former correspondence that tho lco- was a wooden one! Although this joke was a sore oue for the society, it did not injure tho reputation of lar as a remedy, for its legitimate cures were so wonderful that odes were written in its praise and the celebrated P!shop Bcrkely published tw voluminous works describing, endorsing, and registering Iu virtues. From the failure of scientific men, at that period, to extract and concentrate the curative principle from the crude tnr, its nauscousuess caused it to fall into disuse, and its great healing powers were lost to mankind until Dr. L. Q, C. Wishart succeeded m depriving the specific of Its unpleasant and cruder particles, and in his PINE TREE Tm CORDIAL offering to the ntllicted all that wa valuable, while the other parts were eliminated by its careful preparation. As soon as this was necoinpIUhed tho remedy was again endorsed by tho faculty, and the cures were such as to con vert Its enemies and firmly estublish It as oue of the greatest blessings to suffering humanity. Its success was immediate and wide-spread, and Its manufacture became of great importance and a source of wealth to its revivor. ir, itf spent for the welfare of mankind by Dr. Wishart iu pei lucung nis discovery and promulgating its usefulness, and at his decease (which took place but recently) the method of preparation an sonsCUeU8i0n f iU Uhefulc,3s devolved upon hla It cures colds and coughs with marvellous celerity, and is the only preparation which ap proaches to a specific. It does not cover an patch up, but eradicates disease by removiusr the cause, and for obbtinate, long-continued, catarrhs, and consequently of tho incipient stages ol consumption, is the onlv certain remedy hi the pharmacopa ia. It would be a waste of the reader's time to enumcrute cases, for the remedy is so well known, its virtues have been so thoroughly tested, that eulogy Is superfluous nud reference not requisite. Not only as an in ternal remedy is It valuable, but externally it hials sores and irritations, and as a pleasant fttniigator in the sick room stands above all' others. Tur Cordial is an extremely potent and valu able medicine for the cure of throat and lun" discuses. It combines, to a degree unknown iSi any other remedy, vigorous action with safety and lutrmlcssucss. DR. WISHART'S riNE TREE TAXI CORDIAL- It is the vital principle of the Pino Tree, ob tained by a peculiar process in the distillation of the tar, by which its highest medical properties are retained. It is the only safeguard, and reliable remedy which has ever been prepared from the juice of tho Pine Tree. It invigorates the digestive organs and re stores tho appetite. It strengthens the debilitated system. It puriilcs aud enriches tho blood, and expels from the system tho corruption which scrofula breeds on the lungs. It dissolves the mucus or ph!egm which stops the air passages of the lungs. Its healing principle acts upon the irritated surface of the lungs and throat, penetrating to each diseased part, relieving pain and subduing inflammation. It is the result of years of study aud experi ment, aud it is offered to the afflicted with the pobltive assurance of its power to cure the fol lowing diseases, If the patient has not too long delayed a resort to the means of cure: C'os'.iti)tion of tteLunff, Cuugh,Sore Tliroat and JJreant, DroncMtim, Liccr Comphiint,.
