case of Edward Simons, charged with the

was heard of habeas cUrpus, in order to have
the accused admitted to bail. It - will be re

alleged that although the pistol was dis
charged by Simons he did not intend to
shoot any one, and as the deceased was
standing fifteen feet away, there was no
intent to injure him. ' Held under adVise•-

We learn by • recent advices from Con

Beeretaire Intiae, or "Counsellor of State,7=
to the Turkish Embassy in Paris,having
recently, 4lied, the vacant pest as been
proffered to , Mr. Oscanyan.' The Porte,
could not have made a'better appointment;
for Mr. Oscanyan is doubtless eminently
qualified for the position. The reforma-
tory measures for the regeneration of.
Turkey as laid' down in Mr. Oscanyan's
work, entitled the "Sultan and his People,"
have many of them been adopted by - .the,
Turkish government and are being strenu
ously carried out 'as, we perceive by,: ,the
official reports of Mr. E. Joy •Morris, , our

tribute of appreciation is.well bestowed.

CORRESPONDENDE.—Prom Dr. B. Shelton
lialtenzie,the Literary Editor and Critic.—
"Some years ago Evan's Gift Book Store
was accepted as one of the institutions of this
city, and was conducted with a great deal of
fairness. After a prosperOus reignof seven
or eight years Mr. Evans 'came to grief,' as
,the saying is. He had been -. robbed on all
sides—plundered ; to a vast extent. One of
his employes, his confidential clerk, built
half a street with money, which, he eventu
ally confessed, he had abstracted from
letters address to Mr. Evans, and received
by mail. Mr. Evans could have stood this
but the war obliged him to close seven of his
branch offices in the South, by which he
was a heavy loser.
"Mr. Evans has manfully struggled since
his business eclipse ; latterly as agent for
the Florence sewing machines. , He ha., just
recommenced his old gift book businerm, ad
vertising liberally (which was the secret of
his former success), and is likely to make a
fortune again."—Philadelphia Correspon
dent of N. l. Bound Table. •

THE _Tricorns TAX Lurr.—Whatever dif
ference of opinion may exist as to the
propriety of the publication of the list of
incomes, still, when published, it , furnishes
a very interesting and readable description
of literature. The newspapers containing
the names of taxpayers, and th e . amount of
their respective incomes, are bulky, and
not sufficiently compact for preservation.
The whole has been put together in tuseat
book which is for sale by T. B. Peterson it
Brothers, Chestnut street, above Third.
Those who desire to preserve the record of
the "rich men" of Pluladelphia and Bucks
countsr, for the year ending April 30, 1865,
will find" it in the compact shape which we
have described.

dresses were delivered by the Directors,
which at once claimed marked attention on
the part of all present. The exercises con
sisted of recitations, readings, dialogues,
and the awarding of diplomas, concluding
with,a valedictory, by Harry Wills, one of
