The Cleveland Leader of the fotle says: At four o'clock on Tuesday morning the people who Live In the vicinity of the bay market were euddenly amused by a terrible explosion, which was won followed by an alarm of fire. 'lt was found that tbere bad been an explosion of an oil still connected with the refinery' of Mr. George Lee, situated near the intersection of Harrison and Canal streets. Alarms were at once sounded from boxes 67 and 10, and shortly four steam fire engines and two hook and ladder tracks were on the ground. With lightning speed the gas flew from place to place in the refinery. and soon the whole place was is a blaze. Once started the fire spread with alarming rapidity. Adjoiningthe refinery were the works of the Forest City Vanish Company, and, neces sarily, much of the mate on premises was highly inflammable. Arial gasoline the lank was the first to take Are, but soon the conflagration ex tended to the main building of the Varnleh Com pany and seized upon the large quantity of varnish in the store-room. Great streams of burning varnish began to pour from the house and met flaming currents of oil. Joining to gether they ran toward the canal and even into it, burning furiously. It was found necessary to dam up these rivers of fire and turn all available streams of water upon them. The oil refinery is a total wreck and Mr. Lee has suffenal a loss of about $lO,OOO and has no insurance. All of the varnish stored there and a large portion of the facto ry of the Forest City Varnish Company were destroyed. The coin pany'sleas wilt be in the vicinity of $lO,OOO, on which there lean insurance of $B,OOO. VANDALISLEG DoofOlition•of the Home of Drurbara E:== The Frederick (Md.) Examiner contains the following: The laet remnant of the old house where Bar bara Fritchle lived and toiled has been removed, and laborers - are now employed in digging same ten feet below the original foundation, as If to root out the spot of earth upon which it stood. A few days more, and the tourist, the patriot and the poet will have pointed to them the muddy waters of Carroll Creek as where once stood the weird old home of the faithful defender of her country's flag. It seems to haVe been the determination of our city authorities to erase from the memory of man that the "Irritable woman" ever lived, and guided by this desire the first step was to destroy the house in which she had lived,and where to Stone wall Jackson "Shoot U you must, this old grey head, But spare your country's flag, she said," and to the accomplishment of this object they turned all the genius and ability with which nature has so liberally gifted them. They first passed an ordinance to widen and straighter; Carroll creek; they then decided that the Fritchio house was in the line of the proposed improvement, and then agreed to "wipe the damned thing out." "Barbara Fritchie's work is o'er, The rebel rides his raids no more." Yet the spirit was predominant, and to gratify the hatred of the house rendered immortal by the pen of the poet, they have in Btraighteniny the Greek absolutely wade three sharp ane es to strike the point at which they aimed. Sagacious men ! know they not that " the blood of the martyrs 18,, the seed of the Church ?" The name of Barbara Fritchie long shall live after that of those " dressed in a little brief authority " shall have passed away forever. The tuneful Nine have it in care, and poetry and song glad waft it down to future ages, and men shall say that Whittier wrote when Barbara lived. Now:that the long loved picturesque little house has gone braver, an air of romance and of mystery is thrown around it and its history, which could never have been so long as it stood a material object to the view, and as over the old site the sluggish waters of the Creek flow towards tbe sea, they will yet whisper the name of BA :Wale a freb and loyal people. Photo graphs bave been taken of it, and the pencils of artists will present it as pictured to the eye of genius, and their conceptions will yet adorn the palace and the cottage, wherever breathes that patriotic love of country of which Barbara Fria:tie is the embodiment, and her house the stand-point. Oh the desk before me I have two photographs, one of the good old woman, the other of the strange old-fashioned house: that of the house is now doubly dear to me and in a few years will be priceless;the firm yet gentle features of the old lady look en me kindly as I write, and seem to smile as I make the proposition that a monument on which shall be recorded her patriotism and heroism shall be erected in this city to her memory. OD the pedestal might be inscribed: "Up rose Barbara Fritchie then, Bowed with her four-score years and ten, Bravest of grin Frederick-town, She took up the flag the men hauled down. In her attic window the staff she set. To show 'that one heart was loyal yet." Thus did the Romans of their matrons. Let some one more able than I take up this subject. and the necessary money can be raised, If not here, in those parts of the country where honor and patriotism are still held in reverence and the love for the old flag still barns warm and true. ENGLAIV D. The Allabatatt Treaty—Prospects of an haropeau War. Lennox, April 23, 1869.—1 t is the intention of Sir Henry Bnlwer to give notice of a motion for information in regard to the Alabama treaty, as it is called, made between the late government and Boverdy Johnson, and he will probably couple with it a request for such information as to the complications between America and Spain as may be in the possession of the present government. Sir Henry designs bringing up these interesting subjects on the 4th of May, but he will not probably do so before the 11th. He is opposed to the Johnson-Stanley treaty, tooth and nail. and will very severely criticise the action of the late Ministry. Nor will some of the pre sent Cabinet escape scot free, notwithstanding Sir Henry's friendly relations with Gladstone. The rumors of troubles on the Continent of Europe begin to come upon us thick and fast, and those who are best informed distrait Napo leon's professions of a desire for peace. and an ticipate a disturbance before the summer shall have passed away. One main fact Is evident to every sensible mind—the iuteneified hatred be tween France and Prussia. These two great powers are actually at war so far as prepare- Condor a mighty conflict are concerned. The two countries bristle with bayonets. Their arsenals are packed with ammunition. All over the country their agents may be met with pur chasing horses. They stand with braced up muscles and flashing eyes, ready to spring at each other's throats. In such a state of affairs who can say how soon the first blow may be given, and the two enemies be grappling in deadly conflict, and who can place any confidence in expressions of peaceful intentions coming from such sonrcc.? Yet both nations Profess to be anxious to preserve the peace of Europe. Belgium is in the way of the Emperor and his schemes. He desires to brush the little kingdom aside practically by de stroying her independence and making her simply a highway for his troops and munitions of war, yet he is very anxious for peace. 1t is rammed, by the way, that Mr. Bancroft has ex cited the displeasure of the Emperor. The latter, on a recent occasion, half jokingly informed General Dix that Mr. Bancroft had made the King of Prussia such warm prof( is alone of friendship and sympathy on the part of the United States as to almost amount, by im plication, to ,an unfriendly expression against France. To this General Dix replied, with his usual tact, that the United States government desired to have the most friendly relations with all European countries, and that as the nations of Europe were at peace and on such friendly terms with each other, it was possible for the ppitedji tatestp mhp_43,4l/.. , t _ witimiy with aliof thethemat the sa me lime.

MTN BUILIWIETLIL FAMIMMONT Ztz—tar EJLTI2IIIOII A1111)- -- ETS MAGNIVIONSCIL—That portion of public' property which extends alotAg the lichuyiMil river, a short distance north of Fairmount Water Works, and known as the Park, is worthy of a visit 'at the present time. Tho fresh green tints of sprieg4ime robe the stately trees, the tender shrubbery, the gentle rising hills and the gracefully eloping vales in different emerald shades, thus presenting many scenes of rare natural beauty. Sines last summer many improvements have been made, obstacles removed, and the Park, as a whole, pro. sents a somewhat different and more entertaining picture. The "drives" and the footpaths In this portion of the Park have been placed in excellent order.' New drathe have been arranged wherever they were wanted, and the natural springs have been somewhat improved. That part of the properly appropriated to zoological purposes has also been very much improved, the inclosure being stoat posts, with wire fence. The visitor will not be able to see from the old stand-points of last sum mer the "Grant Cabin," as it has been properly called. The building has been placed on the top of a hill a short distance to the northwest of the zoological department. On the southern front of the building is a signboard, immediately above the door of entrance, and it contains the follow- lag : his Log Cabin was the headquarters and home of Lieutenant-General Grant at City Point, while directing the operations of the Union armies during the later months of the rebellion which closed April, 1865. "It was presented by the General to George H. Stuart, of this city, and by him, with the permis sion of the Commissioner of City Property, placed here for the public benefit." If The "Cabin" has been used since last fall as an office and tool-house by the men employeku pen the Park. Its contents are about to be removed, and then the building will be thrown open to the public. It is inclosed by a picket fence. Imme diately in the rear of these quatiere is Clover Hill, which forms an attractive perspective. Par dee passing up or down the ilabuylittll, or along the western bank of this beautiful stream, will be able to have a distinct view of the Cabin. From its location,to the north and soutb,the river road or drive is skirted with rocky cliffs, of various formation. Here will be observed immense strata, itielinitig from their base line towards the south. Many of them are in gracefully inclined curves, and when glistening in the sunbeams after a sum mer shower, present a picture worthy of contem plation. Here we find hard granite down to shale tock that crumbles under the touch. The mass inoloses within its embrace layers of pure quartz, some of which as white as Italian mar ble. Mica seems to be Intermingled in nearly all the formations,and glititena at all times like silver. Besides all these natural productions, various grotesque devices may be traced la the curves and lines, the projections and depressions of the rock. We leave this, however, to the further at tention and imagination of tie visitor, and pro ceed to notice the horticultural scenes. In this respect the Park may be considered a vast garden, artistically arranged, and altogether beautiful. The visitor will be delighted to observe many va rieties of flowers Intuit bloom. There are hardy perennials brought from Japan. Lilacs and shrubs and other native plants greet two of the senses at the same time, at almost every turn the visitor makes. A pretty feature is presented by the large number of "Norway lira." Thus trees are cone-shaped, and not very high. Tee old foliage is deep green, and the tender buds which now appear, the growth of the present at.ring, are very pale green, thus imparting light and shade upon which the eye delights to linger. home of the trees in this part of the Park are primeval and very large. Others have been planted, and all appear to be In vigorous health Stately elms, larch, white pine, maple, red and white cedar, weeping willows, ehestnnt, walnut, locust, wild cherry and beech, prevail to a large extent. It ma bo said that the Park contains so many kinds of plan ts, that It is considered a grand school for botanists. Claws under the charge of Prof. Wood of the University of Pennsylvania, and Prof. Maisel), of, the College of Pharmacy, resort thither at intervals to cultivate themselves in the science of Botany. The Park certainly affords a fine field for such study, bat the great mass of the people, thergiddy throng of mere pleasure seekers, pernape never heard of this before. It may be said that Philadelphia can boast of the largest, the beat, the most naturally bestal ful, the most romantic and pleasing Park in the United States. The Park now contains 2,210 acres, which will be augmented probably in a short time. Its present extreme boundaries may be summed up as follows : The southeast corner is at Coates and Twenty-sixth strects,and extends from the Wire Bridge on the west bank of the Schuylkill, to George's run, at Fifty-third street; thence in an angular course, until it reaches the Schuylkill in the vicinity of the Falls; thence along the westernmost bank to a point opposite the beautiful Wissahickon creek. This creek, a part of which washes the northern extremity of the Park, is about four miles distant from our starting point, Twenty-sixth and Coates streets. The width of the Park at its widest place is nearly two miles. Its superficial area contains about three and a half square miles. When laid out in walks and drives, there will be at least thirty mile, tor vehicles, independently of bridle-paths to remote sections from the principal circuit. The environs above stated inclose many ex ceedingly beautiful and enchanting landscapes of great natural magnificence ; and besides these, many places that connect the present with the past, or which have an interesting history, are within Its borders. The country seat of Robert Morris, the financier of the Revolution— Sedgely; Solitude, Landsdowne, George's Hill, Eggitelield, Schuylkill Heights Lemon Hill Pratt's Garden, Strawberry Mansion—Peter's Farm, the Falls of Schuylkill, with other well known romantic hills, vales, streams and islands, are all within the territory of what will be known in the future as Fairmount Park of Philadelphia. In that section known as the Strawberry Man sion, several hundred laborers are at work busy in grading, gravelling and removing trees. The surveyors have been busy under, the direction of the Park Commissioners in progressing with their part of the work. It need not, in reality, neinire any very great length of time to finish tee Park,becauee nature itself has done mach in the way of beautifying this portion of the earth. So gentle are moat of the declivities, that the gradients will not be more than one foot in every thirty of the main circuit or drive. The Schuylkill winds its limpid, silvery-look ing stream through the central portion of the Park. A aeries of substantial and exceedingly ornate bridges will be erected across thealver for the general accommodation of the public. Blvery care will be taken in the approaches to the seve ral railroad tracks that partly environ or cross certain places in the park, so as to protect visi tors from danger. A splendid ground for mili tary parades and drill, spacious grounds for base ball players, pavilions for children, accommoda tions for the sheltering of visitors from the ef fects of sudden storms in summer, will nil resolve roper attention. In the construction of the Park in its present enlarged dimensions, there was another object in view—that of keeping the water of the Schuylkill In its pure state. An immense culvert will be constructed along the easternmost part of the Park, which will carry the filthy deposits and I polluted currents of the factories, aye houses and mills which are located at Manayunk and other emedlate places. It has already been ascot ; tenon that there will be no ordinary difiloulty in obtaining the proper grade to insure a flow of sew weer , matter to tidewater below the dare at I Pairmount. 1 Some idea of the "contiguous shade" of the whole Park may be formed when we state that he trees of large size, between eighteen inches and Itc,nry-er von feet in circumference, number thirty•four thousand seven hundred, embracing sixty species. Trees of less size than eighteen inches in girth number about seventy thousand. Hard wood. shrubs and v,ines aro estimated at nearly two hundred thousand. In this enumera tion the Wissahickon part of the Park is not ineindee. The fence, wall or hedge for the outside lines of the Path will bo eight miles long. The orna mental screens for the railway which traverse the incloeure will be ten miles in length. Living hedges, instead of stone, iron or wood, will pro bably be used in inclosing this magnificent gar• den spot ofPhiladelphia.

Mosta THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PHILADELPHIA FRIDAY,,MAY 7,1869. • _ . • °ottoman's Istquema—The Coroner held an in queat this morning on the body of ?William Had- . , son, who died from injurles received in the-bar room of Dervard & Green Wald; No. 218 Lodge Street. Thomas Addllngton, bar-tender,:testified—fir. Wllllapa Candy was sitting at , the table asleep; he bad been asleep some time, when Mr: Hudson came in and asked for <a glass of ale; Hudson asked bow long Mr. Candy had been there; told him about two _hours; with this Hudson went over to him and woke him np; they then entered into a conversation, which lasted about ten or fifteen minutes; I was sitting behind the oar with my back towards them; in a few minutes Mr. Hudson jumped up and said, "Bar-tender, look out"; in the meantime Mr. Candy got up; Hudson made some profane remark, and struck at Mr. Candy; they then grappled with each other, and a scuffle ensued; both fell on the floor, the deemed being under neath; I then went around and picked Hudson up and tried to restore him to life. Henry J. Langford, living at 280 Water street, and James Sellers, residing at tOB Fitzwater street, both corroborated the above statement. Dr. E. B. Shapleigh, the Coroner's' surgeon, testified—Made a post mortem examination on body of William Hudson, aged 85 years; there was a slight lacerated wound on outer end of the right eye-brow, a quarter of an inch long, extend leg through the skin; saw no other external marks of violence; I discovered a fracture of the occipital bone 234 inches long; the bone was remarkably thin; there was a clot of blood about the meduila oblongata; there was much effused blood about the whole of the brain; the blood vessels wore congested; all other organs were healthy; death was caused by compression of the brain, the result of violence. The verdict of the jury was "That the said Wm. Hodson came to his death by compression of brain, caused by a fall while in a scuffle with Wm. Candy at No. 213 Lodge street, May 6th, 1869." Candy, the prisoner, was then. committed for trial. THE SALE OF BREAD BY WEIOFIT,.—The small size of the bread now sold by bakers Is the subject of much complaint among our citizens. The price of flour is considerably lower than it has been for some time, but the bakers continue to deal out their small loaves,some of which bear more of a resemblance to penny rolls than to the good old fashioned loaves of broad which were formerly served out. Two weeks ago the subject was brought up in Select Council, and an ordinance providing for the enforcement of the act of April 1, 1797, was passed. The law re ferred to, and which it is proposed to enforce, declares: "From and after the first day of May next all loaf-bread made for sale within this Common wqalth shall be sold by the pound avoirdupois, and every baker or other person offering the same for sale shall keep at his or her house, or at such other place at which he or she shall at any time offer or expose for sale any such Dread, sufficient scales and weights, lawfully registered, for the purpose of weighing the same, and if any baker or other person shall, from and after the first day of May next, sell or offer for sale any leaf-bread in any other manner, the contract re specting the same shall be void, and the person offending against this act, shall, on con viction, forfeit and pay the en m of TEN DOLLARS for every each offence, one-half to the ruse of the informer and the other half to the use of this Common wealth; and it shall be the special dully of the Clerk of the Market, in any place where such officer is ap pointed, to discover and prosecute all persons offending against this act.

We allude to the Palomar t3awraci MAI:MINE COMPANY. This company was organized only about a year ago, but such is the tact and bashiess status of tho gentle men composing it, Vat it already Overt evidence of re markable activity and vigor, and the indicatidris are that it will soon become the leadlog Sewing Machine Company of the country. The superior excellence of the machine that is manufactured by it Parham —would of itself warrant this belief, without regard to the character and ability of the gentlemen coms• posing the company or the ample capital it tto advan tageously operates under. Its inventor. Mr. Charles Perham—one of our most able and accomplished me char devoted many years of labor and study to the construction aid perfecting of sassing machines, and his intellivince, indilatigable industry and con stant research have resulted in the production of a machine which combines not only As.i.r. the GOOD QUALI TIES of ALL OTNER MACHINES IN TUR MAEKET, but Sitlo MANY NEW AND INVALUABLE features that make it am near the perfection of sewing machine mechanism as can be attained. The moat casual inspection devoted to it abundantly establishes that fact, while the extensive demand that has already sprung tip for it throughout the city and the State clearly shows the hold It has taken on the public, and the exalted position it ban attained for an periority and excellence. Leading inventors and ex perts have oxamtsed it, CRITICALLY, and they all agree in awarding it the palm over all other flawing Ma chines. Lightness and durability, elegance of style and finish, simplicity of construction, noiseless in run ning, free and unrestrained action of all its parts, AND ADAPTABILITY TUB MAILING THE MOST PLE'VEWS WOES. ON EVBRY DESCRIPTION Olt MATSRIAL, are a few of its many great merits. The ease with which it runs, too, is an important feature, and one that makes operating on its roarrtys PLEASURR. All portions of it, from the largest plates or wheels to the smallest of its screws, rivets, etc., are made with mathematical cor rectness and nicely, by intricate machinery invented by Mr. Parham, expressly for his machines. Ono ma chine, therefore, is an exact fay simile, in its case, of another, and the various parts are put together with such mechanical precision and exactness as to always secure that result. Constructed as they always are,thoroughly and consci entiously it le almost impossible for ono of them to get out of or der; but, if a part suour.n he damaged or lost, its exact counterpart is always at hand to supply the deficiency. The steel need in the Parham machines is imported expressly for the purpose, from'Eitrope, by Mr. Part am, and is of the finest quality. Among the officers of the company is Mr. Win. E. Cooper, for many years agent of the Singer Sewing Machine Company, who has accepted the position of Secretary of the Parham. In the splendid tire-proof "Tatham Building," on Fifth. above Locust street, is the Parham Company's manufactory. A stroll through its spacious apartments discloses a world of machinery and scores of workmen employed in the manufacture of sewing machines. The system adopted there is the same UP that of the cel ebrated American Watch Company, and the United Ste:es Armory at Springfield, Mass ; and a number of tiie workmen engaged by the Parham were secured from those companies. Five t ['Eldred thousand dollars is the capital of the Company, and nearly five hundred machiaca per week will be the product of the manufactory. The Salesrooms, Showrooms, Packing and Business Departments of the Company are located at No. TO4 Chestnut street. This la a splendid five-story brown situ': building, anti Ile whole of It is devoted to the use of the Parham.
