CITY OPENING OP SPRING BONNETS.—Ye3ter clay being set apart by the house of Messrs. Wood it Cary—the leading military estab lishment of this city—for their Spring "opening," their spacious store, at No. 725 Chestnut street, was to the ladies of our city the chief centre of attraction. This house has long been looked up to by this branch of trade as a sort of fountain head for au thoritative styles and fancies in the mil linery line, not only in ready-made bonnets and hats, but in all the materials for making them, of which they keep a magnificent assortment to cut for customers who prefer to buy the materials, and either make their own bonnets or havei them made to order. Their " opening " yesterday ex ceeded in extent, richness and variety, any of their former exhibitions, and certainly afforded a capital index to the styles and fashions - which are to prevail during the coming season. The size of bonnets is more diminutive than ever;the shapes usually va ried, while in colors the fancy of purchasers is the only rule. • A morning paper, in an article on the "opening!' in question, furnishes the follow ing description of some of the specimens in • the exhibition, which:we take the liberty of reproducing, together wink a few comments upon Messrs. Wood dr,,Caty's Hats, style of trimmings, etc.: What may be called the regular bonnet of the season isa kindof round-crown, sensible affair, and decidedly pretty. More fancy than his are the" Gypsy," "Fanchon," half handkerchief hat, and some thirty or forty other teohnicals to be seen in Wood it Cary's A plain white straw, trimmed with green, a puff of silk across the crown, a wreath of violets extending to, the face, and a fall of beautiful white lace in front—the latter a • new and stylish trimming, now much in vogue. A French chip in this department was greatly admired. It was constructed, with an open crown, folds of the chip forming a roll at the side, out of which fell a delicate veil. The face was formed with a twist of green velvet, lilies of the valley-and rose buds, being altogether the most - gossamer like and ethereal looking article to protect the head from the weather that could possi bly be imagined. We also notice a pink crape bonnet, with an open crown formed of three bands of ribbon, festooned with rose-buds to match, and trimmed with a point applique lace flower—a decided novelty, Another much admired French bonnet was a light drab silk, with full puffs on the crown, and a falling veil of crape, fastened on the face and descending down the side, the entire effect being stylish but neat. The styles of ornamenting bonnets are as various as the shapes of them are numerous; black jets, jet chains, silver chains andorna ments. emeralds and delicate fixings with out number being more or less in favor. In Hats for ladies the opening was replete with pretty things. The first that we shall • notice is entitled the " Medallion," the ma terial of which is a glace, mixed with silver. The shape of it, a square crown with a fall roll at the side. This forms a pretty, cora . mon-sense hat, and will be very popular. It is made by, and confined exclusively to Wood & Cary. The hat is trimmed hand somely with bands of violet ribbon, silver chains and other fine ornaments. Another ' was a fine English Straw, of thesame shape, trimmed with a graceful veil of dotted blond falling across the bat and doWn at the side. Their " Yacht" hat is also a square crown, made in the order of the Sailor hat. The "Derby," we may state, en passant, which was so popular during the winter, still holds its own both in point of sale and style of trimming, and a very becoming style of hat it is. SAD CASE OP Stricres.--Jacob Koch, a German residing at No. 1309 South Fifth street, committed suicide by shooting him self yesterday afternoon. The only instru ment to be seen in the room, with which he could have done the deed, was a small toy cannon, about three inches in length. He is supposed to have loaded this and placed it on a chair then getting down on his knees,put his face close to the muzzle of the cannon and dischaiged it. His face was laid open, presenting a most horrible sight. The man lived but a few minutes after the commission Of the deed. The deceased was about forty years of age, and had a wife and three chileiren. He had two rooms in the house, and appeared to live very comforta bly. He was a cake-baker by trade,but had been unable to obtain work for several - weeks past. This, added to several paraly tic strokes which he had had recently, made him melancholy, and it is supposed that he -committed the deed while in this condition. An inquest was held by Coroner Taylor. AN IMPOSTOR.—A woman of rather in teresting appearance is going about Phila delphia, representing herself as the widow of a Pennsylvania soldier, said to have been killed at Gettysburg. She hails from Jack son, Susquehanna county, Pa., and exhibits a paper purporting to be from the Rev. R. G. Lamb, of that place, whose name heads a subscription list in her behalf. This clergyman has been applied to for informa tion and disclaims all knowledge of the case ' which he pronounces an imposture. • We think it well, when there are so many deserving objects of charity, to put our citizens on their guard. SUDDEN DEATH.—A. P. Hockman, aged about forty-five years, the owner of a large distillery near Mount Joy, entered the cel lar :under the - Bull's Head Hotel, No. 1025 Market street, last evening, and called for ix glass of ale. He had scarcely drank the contents when he suddenly fell dead. Seven thousand dollars were found on his person. Coroner Taylor held an inquest, resulting in a verdict of death from disease of the heart, DEATH OF A HOSPITAL NIIRSE.—Mrs. Susan Ackley, long known as the nurse in charge of the epileptic and' idiotic ward of the Insane Department of the Philadelphia Hospital, Almshouse, died yesterday morn ing at the advanced age of seventy-eight years. She was in the full possession of all her faculties, and, until a few weeks since, was one of the most active officers of the institution. She held the position she occu pied for very many years. , COMMENCEMENT ExsaasEs.—Last even ing at the Fourth Presbyterian Church, the commencement exercises of the South western Grammar Schools were held. The programme consisted of a prayer by Rev. Wm. M. Rice, introductory remarks by Lewis Elkin, Esq., singing, recitations and addresses by the pupils, conferring of certi ficates by the Principal, Charles H. Rainer, and a closing address by George Turn= Richie, Esq.

DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATION IN DAN VILLE, VIRGINIA—LOSS OF Two HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.—We find in the Rich mond Examiner of Wednesday the following account of a disastrous fire in Danville on Monday night. The conflagration commenced about 11 o'clock on Monday night, in the planing mill of Messrs. Lynn Brothers, which was soon reduced to ashes. The flames next communicated to the extensive woolen factory owned by a stock company, but re cently leased to a Baltimore firm, who were running it. Both the mill and the factory were completely destroyed, with their stock and valuable machinery. Both of these establishments were, located on the east side of the canal, and the flames spread to Main street, sweeping all that space on the east side from the Eichange Hotel up to the office of the Southern Ex press Company. The following are the most extensive suf ferers: Brown dz, Jeter, auction and commis sion merchants; Pairo & Co., confectioners and news dealers; S. H. Yates & Co. tin nem; Win. Robinson, grocery mercliant; Hickson & Brother, china and crookery dealers; Peyton & Gallagher, dry goods dealers. The - Exchange Hotel was in imminent danger at one time, and a number of out buildings,. including the kitchen. were des troyed, with the building known as the "Ballard House," and used as the bar-room of the Exchange. „Messrs. Brown & Jeter had a heavy stock on hand, every pound of which was consumed. The large new build ing recently erected by T. S.Davidson,Es9 . ., and several adjacent, were destroyed with the rest. The total loss is estimated affrom $150,000 to $200,000, and , the insurance at $75,000. • The insurance on the woolen fac• tory is $30,000. ' DEATH or PROFESSOR 'SMITH !

' TILE CHESTNIIT.—Last night a• very spirited translation of Scribe's comedy " 772ze Maine' was produced for the first time under the title of "Betrayer and Be trayed ; or, Crossing the Quicksands." It was finely given and is , an elegant work, full of the spirit, wit and vivacity that so distinguish the plays of this prolific author. The plot is intricate, yet natural, and is a faithful transcript of the life that is daily passing about us. It was ably enacted thranghout; all of the artists seemingly vied with each other in their efforts to excel. Miss. Josie Orton played the part of Louise St. Geran with grace, ifitelligence and cor rectness of conception, 'and was most su perbly dressed. Messrs. Mordaunt, Len nox, Lewis and Young and Mrs. Reach did thorough justice to their parts. Bat it is of the piece we would speak. It is a superior play, and we trust that Mr. Sinn may be induced to reproduce it, notwithstanding his announcement of its last performance to-morrow. We are convinced that the longer the piece is played the better it will please, and its quality should call forth audiences of the highesit class of intelligence. It is not often that we have so fine• a work presented, and we should not complain if we have similar ones less often, if we fail to patronize them when they appear. Next week Chas. Reade's "Never too Late to Mend" will be given in the style for - which this theatre is noted. RonEnTs's Brorkvrr.—At the Walnut Mr. J. B.

Hemple appearing as Blinkey Brown. Mr. Tilton deserves and will receive ample recognition of his versa tile.powers. FAwcrrr's BMNEFIT takes place at the Walnut to-morrow night. He presents a characteristic and popular bill and will have a full house. He is indebted to Mrs. John Wood's kindness for the MS. of a capital new burlesque, which will be a fea ture of the entertainment. MR. JOSEPH FOSTER, stage manager of the chestnut, will have his benefit next Friday, when a bill will be offered which will greatly please the many friends of this . old Philadelphia manager.

Courier, of March 23, says: "It is a general truth that friction develops electricity, and most workmen know that a machine belt at high speed by its friction with the air is highly electrified. It has for years been, a common experiment for a workman to light gas burners by holding one hand to a fast-going belt and the other to the open burner. This matter was cu riously demonstrated in the Appleton Mills of this city on Wednesday. A strong smell of fire being noticed, the premises were carefully searched, and a small quantity of cotton lint, inside a lielt casing, was found on fire. The lint lay upon a beam which was 'within four inches of a belt some fifteen inches wide and moving some two hundred and twenty revolutions a minute. In the beam was an iron bolt, the head of which was toward the belt.. From the belt to the bolt was passing a stream of electric sparks, whieh had set the cotton lint on fire. After attending to this case, Mr. Motley, the agent, opened the casing of a similar belt in another mill. The beam in this case was fourteen inches from the belt, but the stream of electric sparks was at once seen jumping across the beam, although it had not set fire to anything. Perhaps some of the cases of fire from supposed 'spontaneous combustion' are due to the electricity from machinery. The subject is an interesting one for investigation, and probably a pro fitable one." BUT THE Evening Telegraph !" THE GREAT A.MCRWOON NEWSPAPER PRICE THREE CENTS.
