Nine autograph letters and other articles of interest have likewise been added to the Museum Department. Mr. Morris reported the death of George T. Thorn, a member of the Society. Colonel Snowden made a report of the halls and other public buildings he had examined, with a view to obtain rooms more easy of 'access and better adapted to the purposes for which the Society was established, when, on motion of Dr. Coates, it was resolved that the Building Com mittee, of which John A. McAllister is Chairman, be instructed s ed to make such farther examinations and Inves as will themreort more definitely at the monthlyenable meeting t in Ja p ne. From the commendable spirit o' enterprise which seemed lo pervade those present, we doubt not that the ensuing fall will see the society in the possession of such rooms and conveniences as will tend greatly to promote its interests. Colonel Snowden reported having received a letter from Mr. Du Chaffin, accepting member ship. On motion of John A. McAllister, Thomas Tucker was invited to read a paper befdre the Society, giving a history of the manufacture of "orcelain In the United States. Mr. Shrigloy, as.

These monthly meetings of the Historical So ciety are usually very interesting and instruc tive, and should be attended by all who feel inte rested in preserving historical matter relating to the State and nation. THE ,NATIONAL. GVARDS' BALL. —The floral militaiy and citizens' dress ball of the National Guard Regiment, given at the Hall on Race street, below Sixth, last evening, was a very fine affair. Both saloons were used, and were appro priately decorated. In the lower saloon there was a profusion of evergreens and flowers, and around the coiling and under the three chandeliers were suspended numerous pretty cages, contain ing canary birds, the warbling of which added greatly to the effect of the dazzling scene. Imme diately over the platform were gas jets, forming a large star, with the letter* "N.G." in the centre. The upper saloon was gaily and tastefully fes tooned with flags, and - there were also several devices in gas jets. The attendance at the ball was large. The military costume predominated. The First City Troop turned out in force, the members wearing their handsome uniforms. Members of the Gray Reserves, Baxter's Zouaves and the Brooklyn Fourteenth Regiment were also presente-ina.uni• form. The orchestras were large and efficient, and were under the direction of Chas. R. Dod worth and J. G. 8. Beck. Major General Geo. Cadwallader was Director General, and General . Charles M. Prevost, Master of Ceremonies in the lower saloon, and Gen. C. F. Ruff, Master of Ceremonies in the upper saloon. The dancing commenced at nine o'clock, and was kept up until a late hour. Everything passed off in the most successful manner, and everybody who participated in the festivities enjoyed themselves in the highest degree. During the intermission at midnight: a hand some frame, containing a set of resolutions beau tifully engrossed,-and photographs of IMO cabers of Company H, 14th Brooklyn Regiment, was presented to the N. G. by a committee of the Brooklyn organization, as an appreciation of the kindnesa and attention received daring a visit to this city last summer. The presentation speech was made by Capt. McNeill, of Brooklyn, and was responded to by Major Harmauns Neff, of the Guards. FATAL ACClDLNT.—Yesterday afternoon, about 4 1 / o'clock, Mr. Lemuel S. Levering was coming up South Broad street, on his way home from an afternoon drive. His wagon came in contact with one of the tree-boxes which line the so called "boulevard," and which have already caused the loss of several valuable lives. Mr. Levering was violently hurled from his wagon, striking his head and fracturing the skull in a terrible manner. Owing to the profuse loss of blood, Mr. Levering retained his conscious ness, and several gentlemen who were driving in the neighborhood coming to his assistance, he was conveyed to his residence, No. 1113 Walnut street. Notwithstanding the terrible nature of the injury, Mr. Levering was able to walk to his room, and medical assistance was promptly iub tairted, but he soon sank into unconsciousness under the fatal effects of the blow, and died at about ten o'clock in the evening. - Mr. Levering was unmarried, and about fifty years of age. He was well known in business circles, and especially in the sugar trade, with which ho had been long connected as a•broker. His sudden and very sad death will be severely felt by a very largo circle of friends and ac quaintances. MR.

A letter to the Montana Ifetakt, 'thitod 'at the Gnat Falls of the Missouri on the loth of April, 6:IVS : For some time past there has been a camp of five of us 'on the prospect' stationed on the north bank of the Missouri, just above the Great Falls, from which point we were testing bars and gulches for gold for a range of twenty miles. As a means'of crossing the river, We had, a few days presiously,•built a_ strong and somewhat un wieldy skiff, to be propelled 'by oars. Some whisky was brought to the camp day before yes terday, and by 10 o'clock in the morning Patter son became, intoxicated, and to show his skill and strength, jumped into our skiff alone and pushed out into the stream, boasting that he could cross the river near the brink of the main rapid of the first fall. lie heeded not a word that was said to him, but shipped his rudely constructed, soft-wood oars, and beganrowing circle, each• rounddropping , down nearer and nearer to the irresistible suction. "When he had totalled about two-thirds Of the way across, he raised his oars from the water and paused in his labor, which had been violent for full ten minutes, and looked below him. Appa- TentlY aPprehendlng his situation, he again bent to his oars with almost superhuman exertions; but,in these struggles he appeared to have caught one of his oars on a • rock under water, and it snapped in twain like a pistol shot. Almost in stantly he was drifted on to the very brink of the drishing, foaming rapid, and the suction had swung his skiff bow down stream, when our com rade was beyond rescue. Patterson made a few wild and useless strokes with the remaining oar, which only made his case worse, and then taking it in rind hurling it on the bottom of his craft, stood up, swung his hat in the air, and resigned himself to his fate." Disastrous Fire in IKarrisbarg—Valtia• We Property Destroyed. [From the State Guard of May 11.3 On Saturday night, about 11X o'clock, another destructive fire, the work of an incendiary, oc curred at the corner of North and Poplar alleys. When we arrived at the scene of conflagration immense'Nolumes of smoke and flames were issuing from the pattern shop of Messrs. James Bay & Bro., and it was soon evident human effort could be of no avail in saving it from destruction, and .the firemen turned their atten tion to the surrounding property. The fire extending, an adjoining frame house owned by Mr. George (Junkie, tailor, Market street, and two frame houses on the opposite side of the alley, occupied by two families, also caught, fire from the heat and sparks, but this danger was averted.. The building was entirely destroyed, and noth ing left but the charred and blackened ruins. The Messrs. Bay lost heavily through this tire, and are not insured. The adjoining building, owned by Mr. George Cunkle, was a double frame, Gothic cottage, and is badly damaged by fire-and water. The two frame houses on the opposite side of the alley, owned by the Girard Fire Insurance Company of Philadelphia, caught fire from - the heat generated, and the fire havi made rapid head way before the flames could be checked. Remarkable Cave in Pennsylvania— its Recent Discovery in Mifflin County—Description tit It. A Milroy correspondent of the Lewistown Ga zPite gives the, following particulars of the dis covery of a wonderful cave in Armagh township, Mifflin county: "On the 24th of April, while Charles Nageny, of Milroy, was having a site dug for a limekiln, he was surprised by finding an opening in the side of the hill. The moment it came to view a strong stream of air began oozing forth, like the pressing of a pair of bel lows; the work was continued until the aperture opened in size large enough to allow the body to crawl in, and then it was found to be a splendid cave, with gorge ous subterranean gangway; during the week the work progressed, and a formal entrance was made. On Saturday, May 2d, the citizens of Milroy and vicinity had the pleasure of a full view. The attendance was composed of about one hundred and fifty ladles and gentlemen. Lights being at hand, having' been furnished by Mr. Nageny, it made the affair quite interesting. After first entering' we found ourselves enclosed in a narrow un derground path for the distance of twelve feet; here the great cave came to view; the gangway about fifteen feet wide, with gigantic walls of rock, was a direct line of about sixty feet, in the centre of which we beheld the hanging or projecting rocks, In the shape of a mantel, underneath which were small, crystalized rocks, long and hollow, ap pearing like icicles on it house in winter time. Hero we turned to the right, and had a full sight of the "Platform Rock," a natural platform, about three feet above the level of the floor and running together in the centre; above it was a shelf or canopy, which indeed presented a sublime sight. Hero, one bundl•ed and seventy feet under ground, and in natural formed rooms or gangways, with a splendid spring Of fresh water beneath your feet, who could not re alize that the bands of nature had truly been at work here? A short distance further on, we be held the hanging lamp, and then came the sub terranean chamber, situated below, where the rocks seemed to be more marbleized. as they are firmer, whiter and more solidly settled. After re turning, we, with the assistance of a ladder, pro vided by Mr. Nageny, were enabled to take a look up stairs. Here was another chamber, with colossal walls of rocks, which presented a sight never to be forgotten; the distance traversed was; . about .600 feet. The air within is very warm, and the floor or ground seems as if cemented, and is firm and solid. The diagram is in the shape of an H, writ ten, and very neatly laid out. The base of the ;springs are like small pebbles laid aside of each, other, with a border composed of a larger size. The cave is situate on the line of the Mifflin and Centre County Railroad, about three-fourths of a mile below Milroy, and is a grand and sublime sight—a relic of nature's handiwork that Mifflin county may some day be proud of. It will be open for visitors during the coming week, when all who may'wish to improve themselves in the study of nature's works may have an opportunity to visit it." Another Tradition Gone. We spoke the other day of the "historical dif ficulties" of Dr. Octave Delap'erre . , whose recent book destroys some curious traditions. His ex ample is followed by an American investigator, vvho has disposed of Ethan Allen and the famous Ticonderoga story. This iconoclast, who rudely pulls down the revolutionary hero from his proud pedestal, is the Rev. B. F. Do Costa, of this city, who has written a paper to prove that "Ethan Allen was not the originator of the attack ;upon the fort, but that the real author of the plan was colonel John Brown, a l:, lawyer of Pittsfield, while the final suc cess was mainly due to Benedict Arnold. It was also shown that Nathan Beaman, whom Mr. ilparks brought forward In his life of Ethan Allen as the person who guided the party into the fort, was entirely untrustworthy, and that in all pro bability he had nothing to do with the matter. Ethan Alien's character was also examined. It was shown that subsequent to the year 1779 ho remained indifferent to the cause of . Inde pendence, and with his brother, Ira APen, then in England, was engaged in the rnovetra,u4 to at tach Vermont to the royal government.—N. Y. Post. Suicide in Pittsburgh. [From the Pitttburph Dispatch. of May 1100 About eleven o'clock yesterday morning, a young man, named George Booth, committed suicide nor his home, by stabbing himself with a knife,in the heart. Booth was for some time a back driver, but more recently in the employ of Mr. E. Young. He had contracted the habit of drinking to excess, and for this he was thrown out of employment. For some time back he had been in search of work, but Palled to got any, and was very low spirited. It Is said that at the time of committing the rash net of self-murder he was perfectly sober. Ile sat down on the steps of a neighbor op Wilkins street, in the Ninth Ward. His late employer coming along, Booth borrowed a knife from him, and then in a few thillUtCB stabbed himself in the left breast THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, MAY 12, 1868: ttylee. c?roner Clawson held anea q yestet. ti t dav afternoon. . i ;TIM TIIKATIM.-At the Arch Vila evening the drama The Past Fatn!lst will hirprodated in splendid style, with a cast Including Mrs. Drew ad all the_ leading inemberiv'ofjher excellent 1 c mpaily: For the benefit of, those who have f rgotten the fact' we may state that this drama is a translation and adaptation ;of La Famille .b l enpiton, by ,Vietorien Sardou, a'play; that had, immense, popularity in Paris some ,years ago, and was' sO'tnubh the rage. Wallin title 'illtinotton" was applied to multi tudes of individuals and things front the Princess Metternich, down to the latest styleof hat: Mrs. Drew produced the translation once before and it proved very popular. At the Walnut this evening Mr. John' Broug ham will appear for the - second .time in his fine personation of Doctor Savage, the cen tral figure of hlti own brilliant little comedy Ray ing mak Fire. Most of our readers are already familiar with the excellent qualities of both play and player, and It is hirdly necessary to do more than simply assert that the performance• is so good that is well worth seeing half a dozen times over. Now that Mr. Brougham has come'up out of the slough of sensationalism, and given us purely legitimate drama, he deserves the hearty support of intelligent play-goers. The Black Crook will be withdrawn from the Chestnut at Die • end of this week; and in the midst of its enemas. In the meantime it will be produced every'evening,lvith. all its gorgeous appointments, and with Morlacchi and her sister artists in their most brilliant dances,'lncluding the Can-can.
