C4t Vrtss, FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1865 THDE The Late Rev. Newton Heston. From a discourse, commemorative of the life and labors of the late Rev. Newton Heston, de livered in the Spring Garden-street Di. E. Chapel, on July 2.3 d, ISe5, by the Rev. Alfred Cookman, A. Di., and published by T. B. Pugh, at the request of many of the auditors, we - learn some authentic particulars of the life and death of an excellent minister of religion. Cookrnan had been Mr. Heston's friend for twenty years, and has performed a Christian and fraternal duty in commemorating his worth. On the last day of November, 1813, Newton Heston was born, in Philadelphia. At the age of seventeen lie was licensed to preach the Gospel;. and from that time his labors almost wholly took place in his native State, until lie was removed to Newark, W. J., in the spring of 1859. Two years laterhe accepted a pastorate in Brooklyn, L. 1., where, useful and beloved, lie labored to garner in the har vest of the Lord, until July 13th of the present year, when he was called away the pale sestina:flier—death—suddenly, but not unpre pared. His morning test, on the Sunday be fore his death, was "I have finished my course and in the evening, his theme was ' , Eternity: , His character as a man, a preacher, and a .patriot, is finely sketched in 3fr. Cookman's eloquent and impressive dis course. It has the advantage too, Of being printed withmore than ordinary neatness. • THE INSTITUTIONS OF PHILADELPHIL The city of Philadelphia is deservedly famous for the excellence of her Institutions, public and private, and it is well known that never, at anytime in the world's history, and nowhere on the surface of the globe, has any commu nity existed in possession of so much comfort, so high an average of material enjoyment. She has, in many things, led the way, and has thus become the dispenser of physical good far beyond her own immediate limits. In our own country, she was first in her diffusion of water;'eouveying the clear, soft current of the Schuylkill to the most humblei tenement, and offering a means of purity, health, and life to her poorest citizen. She was also early in spreading light through her dwellings and along her thoroughfares, by means of gas, ex tending the capacities both oftoll and pleasure, and conferring comparative security on her vast population, with its immense wealth, now sentineled in the long, dark hours by theaell tale blaze. Against a thousand selfish in terests and obstinate prejudices, she has in laid her streets with iron roads, which give to the infirm and aged facilities of locomotion unknown elsewhere, anti equalize—more, pet baps, than any single agent of civilization—the various conditions of strength and weakness, wealth and poverty, occupation and leisure, by cheaply husbanding time and power, the two great elements and measures of value. We will not dwell upon her excellent schools, and colleges, and universities, her wide and well ventilatedhalls and theatres,hermuseums and academies of art, science, and philosphy, nor her libraries and manufactories; nor on the riding-schools and gymnasiums, which, in Common With many others of our populous and prosperous cities, she has fostered. But there is one among the establishments to be met here, which, if not peculiar to Philadel 7 phis, exists in a condition of unequalled ex cellence ; we allude to the swimming-school of Dr. Jansen. During the hot summer months, and in spring and autumn as well, nothing can be more conducive to health and general phy. sieal comfort than frequent ablutions. Where these can be procured safely, conveniently, cheaply, they should be profusely employed, as they olight to be earnestly sought after. It is ditlicurr in the purlieus of a great city, to find a bathing-place sufficiently secluded even for the resort of boys ; men yield up the effort, and take their families to distant and exPen 7 Sire; and fashionable sea-shore villages for the purpose. But this is beyond the reach of the great majority entirely, and is only a tranSient resource to the most wealthy. When such ab lution can be obtained Within free space so as . to allow of a certain combination of exercise, it is a great additional benefit. Still more, when both Males and females - can be taught the useful accomplishment of swimming in perfect security. There is no exercise more graceful, more easy, more pleasant, more health-giving to the human frame. It expands the chest, rounds the arms, developes the muscles of the trunk, gives vigor to the 101115, and strengthens and ails out the lower limbs. It confers presence of mind and confidence in one's self, and prepares women as well as men to sustain themselves, and to help others in a form of danger to which the contingencies of travel must often expose us. In all Open-air swimming-places there are certain risks to be encountered, exposures of health to be undergone, from which the wide and elegant reservoir of Dr. Jansen is entirely free. The heat of the sun by day, the keen morning air,the chill dews of evening midnight are avoided. The equable temperature of the Vast apartment, the air of which is kept pure by thorough ventilation; the soft, genial, and refreshing coolness of the water in summer, and its tepid warmth in the sharp days of spring and fall; its perpetual renewal from the river by an ever-flowing eurrent,guard the most sensitive from every shock, the most impressible from every evil influence. All arrangements requisite for proper changes of dress are duly prepared, and the most delicate constitution has nothing to dread. Careful attendance is always at hand, and watchfully observant, to assure the timid, to restrain the rash, to warn the heedless, and give imme diate relief and aid in eases of suffering or accident. Meanwhile, instruction, kind, gentle, con siderate, and skilful, guides the pupil, who soon learns to trust fully in his excellent teacher, and acquires a degree of confidence -which enables him to overcome all difficulties and embarrassMentS. THE BEDFORD AND BASER-STREET moxr.—The following appeal to humanity has been furnished us for publication. It refers to a subject that demands consideration. It seems to us, however, that the efforts of the Mission are like damming up a stream of im morality with Moral pebbles, through anti. over which the flow continues. The poor, miserable, lazy, morally deformed, and physi cally degraded residents of the purlieus of this city should be ruled by the strong hand of wholesome law. A well.construeted house of correca.n, in which moral reformatiOn should take place through the medium of hard work; and men and women, when not incapa citated because of natural infirmities, made to earn their living by the " sweat of theirbrow,” like other folks, should be erected as soon as possible. Such an institution as this is sadly wanted, and moral reformers should at Once bold a general meeting, and adopt inch mea sures as might be necessary to accomplish so desirable a result. Then, and not until then, will society receive any genuine benefit. In temperance appears to be frightfully on the increase, and unless something be done to cheek this great and growing evil, the Bedford street, and other :Missions, will have to en large and make more appeals. An habitual drunkard is exempted from serving in the army. Therefore, he is not useful in the direst hours of the country's need ; neither is he or namental in times of peace. A house of cor rection for such miserable beings may well be considered a humane and Christian institu tion. But, until such a place is established, let the friends of humanity keep on trimming the dead branches from the tree of evil, and the time will come when sterner measures will be resorted to. The following is the ap peal of the Bedford-street Mission:The Managers of the Young Men's _Mission Of Bedford and Baker streets, appeal to you on behalf of the suffering and destitute in those localities. We feel assured if you were eye and ear-witnesses of the silent and vocal ap peals made to us by the suffering and de graded in the district named, you would take pleasure in furnishing us with all the material aid requisite for the successful prosecution of Our noble work. We are constantly embarrassed for the want of means to meet the claims upon us ; and our hearts are pained beyond the power of expres sion because we are unable to prosecute our mission as we desire. We will gladly perform the personal labor if you will only furnish us with the means to push on our work. Our 'Mission building is located on lied ford street, between Sixth anti Seventh streets, and consists of a chapel-room fur public worship where the poor have the gospel preached to them, anti two upper chambers for school purposes. Four Chrittnin ladies are employed as teachers, laboring earnestly to rescue the neglected little ones from the ignorance and degradation to which they are constantly exposed. We feed the htdvey, clothe the naked, visit the sick, &e., &e. We , o alike to Jew and Gentile, Catholic and I rotestant, white and colored, striving to relieve the sufferings of all we can. We have increased our liabilities over four thousand dollars ($4,006), by the purchase of additional grounds, upon which we purpose, as soon as we can, to extend our buildings through to South street. In view of all these facts, will not the friends of the poor and suffering come promptly anti liberally to our aid Contributions of clothing, or material for clothing, may be sent to 619 Bedford street, and money to Rev. D. L. Patterson, 419 Bed • ford street, or to Thomas Sappington, 426 Mar ket street. Visitors will End the missionary at the cha pel from nine to eleven o'clock A. AL lie will take great pleasure in giving all the informa tion he can. Please call and see for your selves. COMPANY H, HANCOCK'S CORPS.—The members of Company H, Hancock's Corps, have arranged for an excursion on Monday next to Bath Springs. These brave fellows have recently arrived here from Washington to do garrison duty, untl as they are all vete rans, a happy time may be expected on their pleasure-trip. The steamboat Pilot Boy has been Chartered for the occasion, and every ar rangement perfected to mime the comfort or those who desire to take a pleasant trip. SERions OcctungicoE.—A. man named Hobert Aspen, while laboring under a fit of insanity', jumped from the second-story win dow of his residenee, 28es remusylvania ave nue, yesterday, and vas seriously injured. .Physicians were promptly summoned, and the proper restoratives administered. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.—tI broker in South Third street IS missing since last Saturday, and considerable anxiety ie enter tained as to hie whereabouta. - INTERESTING AND PLEASING SCENE.— Eat tery "E,'? First Pennsy'vania Light Artil lery, with one hundred and twenty men, under command of Captain Henry 1. Wildey, arrived in this city a few - weeks since, and were sta tioned at Camp Discharge. This battery has seen hard service, having participated in many a well-fought field. It had the honor of being the first battery of artillery that entered the city of Richmond, upon Its occupation by our troops. On Thursday, 28th camp was the scene of a very interesting and pleasing inci dent. It was the presentation of a handsome sword, sash, and belt to the captain of the bat. tcry by the officers and men of his command. The sword blade is an exquisite piece of work manship. It is made of pure Damascus steel, and is neatly and appropriately chased with the National coat of arms and military de vices. The hilt is heavily gilt with gold and silver plating, and ornamented in a beautiful manner. The scabbard is of burnished steel, with gold and silver ornaments. Three golden wreaths, about one and a half inchesln dia meter, ornament the side ; within the wreath are 'heavy silver plates, with representations of the Goddess of Liberty, Justice, and the Na tional arms engraved upon them. Immediately in the centre is an oval gold plate, bearing the following inseription: "Presented to Capt. Henry Ist Pa, Light Artillery, by the members of Bat tery E, as a token ot their highest regard, July, 1665." The sash, belt, etc„ are Tery neat and testy arrangements, and the whole reflects great credit upon those interested in the getting up of the testimonial. Lieut. Joshua E. Price presented the testi monial, and spoke as follows: lisTuklarm CAPTAIN: I have the honor this day to present you with sabre, bell, nod sash, on behalf of the members of Battery" E. Wo deem this a fit token of our profound regard. We consider it a pleasure, a privilege, and a duty to present you something emblematical of your true character as a soldier and a gen tleman. For this reason we have selected this snore, which is represented as being the true steel. This, as emblematical, represents your true patriotism; whichprompted you to leave your borne and friends atthe first outbreaking of the rebellion, and continue to remain in the field until the last armed organization of the Confederacy has ceased to have an existence. We feel sorry to part with you, as our che rished commander, because you have gained this position, not like many others, but through an honest and faithful performance of your duties. For this we love you, and shall ever cherish your memory. Not, by this alone have you won our respect, but you have al ways watched with a zealous eye our indivi dual interests, and, as far as practicable, tried to- win for us a name which would stand the test of the severest critic. - _ We have remained togethera conSiderable length of time, and had the war not closed, I am fully convinced that brighter laurels were in reserve for you ; but the war has closed, and we are all desirous of returning to our peace ful homes, to enjoy the society of friends, and pursue the various previous avocations which we have been accustomed to. This alone arouses within us a desire to separate, and as that time has now arrived, we desire to pay to you this tribute of respect, which you have duly entitled yourself to, by your earnest en deavors to promote oUr happiness. We most cordially present you this sword, knowing that you have never dishonored it, and never will. Take it, and, with it, our best wishes for your future welfare. May your future life be ion and and crowned with the choicest blessings this ife can afford! This is the desire of your humble servant, and the" unanimous wish of your entire command. We now bid you an affectionate farewell. Captain Wikley was taken completely by surprise, and was at a loss for words to testify his appreciation of the honor bestowed upon him. He kindly thanked them for the interest they had taken in him, mid hoped that by a strict performance of his duty as a soldier, and as a citizen, he would always merit their esteem. The company separated with mutual congratulations and heartfelt wishes for each other's future prosperity. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE—Loss or V4LUABLR TooL.s, &c.—Between two and three o'clock, yesterday afternoon, a fire occurred in North Tenth street. It was feared, at one time, that a 'Very Serious conflagration would ensue; but, thanks to the Fire Department, the damage was not so great as was expected. Chief Engi neer although suffering from painful in- Juries, received by falling from a stair-ease, at Eighth and Poplar streets, on Tuesday night, was early on the ground, and through his well directed efforts may be attributed the prompt suppression of the flames. The Bre was first discovered in the earpen ter-shop of Mr. Samuel Rains, Nos. SR and RlB North Tenth street. Mr. Rains occupied the npper and a part of the lower portion of the building. The balance of the lower por tion of the shop was occupied by D. S. Stilter, a provision dealer. The shop of Mr. Rains was almost entirely destroyed, together with materials, lumber, and made-up work. One of the most serious losses oeensioued by the lire was that of the tools of Mr. Rains. Ile is an old and respected member of the Carpen ters Society, and for years has been collect.. ing tools ad'apted to his profession. He is the master mechanic who constructed the grain elevator at the foot of Washington street, which has attracted so much attention. All of Ills valuable tools, that he set so much store upon, have been entirely destroyed, and can- not well be replaced. The loss of Mr. Rains is about 53,000, upon which there is no insu rance. The firemen rescued a quantity of the stock of Mr. Ptilter, but his less will be about $l,OOO, upon which be has an insurance of $5OO in the Spring Garden Insurance Company. The flames communicated with building No. 818, a three-story brick buildim , ' owned by MariaMcDonald, of Baltimore, and occupied by F. G. McDonald as a dwelling. The upper and rear portions of this building were de stroyed. It is insured in the Fire Association. A portion of the furniture was saved, but there is no insurance on the balance. Tim three-story building, 814, owned by Har riet Steele, and occupied by J. Emden Maris, was considerably damaged in the upper por tion and - doodad - with water. Mr. Maris and family are out of town 5 so their losses cannot be ascertained. The building at 810, belonging to the Glynn estate, and occupied by W. it. Riner, was slightly damaged, but is covered by insurance. The - westerlyW. ind blew the flames across to the east side of Tenth Street, setting fire to the cornices of a number of houses. A large pile of lumber was also on this side of the street, and it required great exertions upon the part of the 'Bremen to prevent its destruction. Several buildings on Mount Vernon and Good bread streets were slightly damaged, but the prompt application Of water saved them. EXECUTION OF DAVID GREGODY.—David Gregory, who was convicted of the murder of Stephen Vitra, is to be executed at the Moya menSing Prison on Friday next. Viera was the proprietor of a restaurant at V. 37 south Second street. Gregory, with a companion since de ceased, entered Viera's place, when a quarrel ensued with the bar-keeper in reference to certain drinks. Mr. Viera came forward to quell the disturbance, and ordered Gregory to leave the house, and then threw him on the floor. The disturbance seemed to be ended, and Viera returned behind the bar. The quarrel was soon renewed, and while Mr. Viera was stooping behind the bar Greeory reached over and discharged a pistol, oot ing, Viera through the, head, and causing almost instant death. The condemned begins to realize his . horrible positiOn ; he is low in spirits, and eats but little. His wants are welt attended to, and everything is done to make his condition comfortable. Ile says that on the night when he committed the horrible crime his mind was crazed with rum. Gregory will be the eleventh person executed in the .3loyamenSing Prim:lll'yard. The first took place in the year lit 39, and was the first after the act abolishing public executions. The person exe cuted was George Williams (colored.) The persons since executed were Jacob Morris (co lored), for the murder of - a boy; Charles Mos ler, for the murder of his wife; Samuel Zeph er, for the murder of Citify Todd Charles Langfeldt, for the murder of Airs. Rademach er, executed in 1247; the brothers Mathias and Phase Skupinski, for the murder of the ped dler boy Lehman, in 1851 and 1851., several months having elapsed between the execution of Mathias and Blaise ; Arthur Spring, execut ed for the murders of Ellen Lynch and Honora Shaw, in 1853; Peter Mattox, (colored,) exe cuted for the murder of a colored woman, in 1856, and Thomas J. Armstrong, executed in 1861, for the murder of Robert Crawford. Within the period in which these executions have taken place, there have beenten persons capitally convicted, who were respitcd from time to time, and several of whom have been pardoned. Gregory, at the time of the Commission-of the crime, had just been diseharged from the army. He has a mother, a wife, and four child ren, residing in the city. TifF, MortCSIENT TO THE HEROIC GEN. REVNOLDS.—Pnrsuant to an adjournment of the last meeting of the committee, held at headquarters, 3d Brigade, sth Army Corps, Army of the Potomac, in June, lasS, the corn mittee met at the Continental Hotel, Phila delphia, on Tuesday.

OIL WELLS. The expectation that "oil" would be struck in Fayette and Greene counties, where bituminous coal so greatly abounds, has been fully realized. We have to relate a circumstance about well-sinking in that district, which may be worthy of atteir tion in other placee. The Dunlap Creek Oil Company has its land near the Monongahela River, a couple of miles below the mouth of Whiteley Creek. The Company, which had ample funds, employed persons to sink a well, and when the contractors' report was that the depth of 306 feet had been reached, the news came, quickly after, to this effect: "Well broken through." The work stopped for a time, but the treasurer of the company, as honorable a man as can be found among the merchants of Philadelphia, went down to the spot last week, had the top off the well, and, only eighteen inches below, took up a gallon of pure oil in a few minutes, as fast as he could bale it Out with a tin panniken. ire found the supply at the rate of one-third oil to two-thirds of water. Having satisfied him self on this point, he set to work to ascertain the depth of the well, and found that 244 feet, or 62 feet less than had been paid for to the borer, was the uttermost depth. The borer affirms that the 62 feet short have been mica up with sand. Perhaps so7-but ought not there to be something more than the borer's word for the depth of the boring I GREAT EXCITEUENT IN THE TWENTIETH Warm—At an early hour yesterday morning, High Constable Dantkid, at the head of the dog-catchers, visited Warnock street, between Master and Jefferson, with a view of capturing any loose dogs or goats in that locality. The residents of this place rallied from their beds, the women wearing but one garment, and the men in a similar situation. A posseo of officers came to the assistance of the high constable, and order was soon restored. • MAJOR GENERAL GEORGE G.

(Paris Correspondence of the Montreal Herald.] Among the strangest of the many strange people who successively "turn up" in this city is a certain M. de Casten, a man of good family anal great, acquirement, Wb.o Cattle hither from his provincial home about six years ago, and has worked his way from poverty and obsen rity to a lucrative profession and. an acquain tance with everybody worth knowing in the capital, by the aid of a talent for wonder work ing that leaves all rivals in the shade. His feats of prestidigitation are equal to those of the most renowned professors of the art, and M one department—that of tricks performed with a pack of cards—he far surpasses anything accomplished by them. P.M the most astonishing of his feats are of a totally different order, and such as no other wizard ever attempted. For in stance, his head tied up in a couple of towels, and then covered with a paletot, he will re quest one of the audience to go to the farthest corner of the. room, and there to write on a sheet of paper a mass of ciphers arranged in parallel columns and go through the most complicated operation with them, substract ing, multiplying, dividing, stating the square of - such a cipher, some minute fractional of another cipher, and soon-playing, as it were, with the figures written in the paper, and apparently reading them as soon as written. At one of his seances he threw a folded paper to a lady friend of mine, who hail never seen him, requesting her not to open it, but to put it at once into her pocket and keep it there until he should ask for it, which the lady accordingly did. Absorbed in watching the marvellous things done by the performer, the lady had quite forgotten the paper in her pocket, when de - Casten, turning to her, re quested her to name one of the three king doms of Nature. Thus interpolated, and feet. ing rather nervous at seeing the eyes of the assembly fixed upon her, the lady hurriedly named "The Vegetable kingdom." 13e Caston, thereupon singling out another lady with his eye, requested her to name some class of objects belonging to the Vegetable King dom. "Flowers," replied the lady thus ad dressed. Turning to a third lady, the wiz ard asked her to name a flower. The Rose," said this third lady. Turning again to my friend, he requested her to read the contents of the paper in her pocket; on doing which she found that it contained these words, " The Vegetable Kingdom. Flowers. The Rose." A man of great literary acquirements and repu tation bere, being invited to a private per formance of De Caston's, at Which he an swered every question written by the persons Present, performed the most astounding feats of divination of numbers, stated the events that occurred at an immense number of dates written by them—each paper being folded and held by the writer—went away very much dis gusted, regarding the whole affair as a series of tricks produced by the collusion of the par ties present. " How very impudent," said this gentleman to himself, " a company of thirteen respecta ble-looking, gentlemanly, and intelligent men, all in league with a charlatan!" A day or two afterwards, lie received a note, from de Caston t saying that he should do himself the honor of t calling on him in the course of a day or two, in order to give him a specimen of his pouters in his own house. M. L G— accordingly being determined to barite his visitor, got down some rare old histories from one of the shelves of his library, and picked out about twenty dates of little-known historic facts, in the annals of several countries, and in remote ages. He drew up his paper with great Inter nal satisfaction, feeling sure that he had pro vided a poser for de Gaston, folded it, put it away in Itls waistcoat-pocket, not showing it to any one, and awaited the expected visitor. The latter arrived next day, and was shown at once to the study where M. 6 was writing an article for some newspaper. "Pray, don't disturb yourself," said `de Caston, on entering ; "keep your seat, and let me place myself here ;" and, drawing a chair to the opposite side of the table, he took a folded paper from his pocket and gave it to "Don't open it till I ask you to do so," said de Casten, and M. -G— placed it unopened in his pocket. " Have you a pack of cards and a box of demi noesi" demanded the visitor. " Here are dominoes," replied hr. G—, taking the box out of one of the tableqlrawers„ and banding it to de Gaston ; "as for cards, I don't think there are my in house, bat int ring for my servant, and send out for a pnek." " Do nothing of the kind le replied de Cas ten ; "we can do just as well without cards as with them, by simply imagining that we have them. Now," he continued, bidding out his hand, "just imagine that I am offering you a pack of cards, from which you select four." M. 6—, extending los Intuit in 1 urn, feign ed to draw out four cards, and to place thom]. before him on the table. good enough to write on a paper whit cards you bare chosen, and fold it up as soon us written." M. G— did as requested. "You have chosen the ace of Spades, the King of Clubs, the Knave of Diamonds, and the Queen of Dearts,: , quietly remarked the wizard as M. 13— finished folding, his paper. Whosebeing the cards of which M. 0— had just written down the names. After performingscveral other feats, equally inexplicable, with the imaginary cards, and with the dominoes, which came in play next, do Caston asked M. G— to write a number of historical dates on a piece of paper, fold it up, and hold it in his hand. "I have my list already lu cried M. G—, tri• umpbantiv, and produced the paper he had prepared the day before.

The mathematician took out his pencil and wrote out the terms of some terrifically abstruse and complicated compu tation, upon which all present at once set to work, pencil in hand, when de Croton placing his paper on the instant before the =Mama- Dam, remarked, "I think, Monsieur. wou will find that this is the correct solution of your problem." " You see, Monsieur, that my method of cal culation really yields very useful results I" said de Caston to 11. e Vernier.

It seems that de Caston Is often greatly ex cited and fatigued by the performance of his feats; and that he often suffers from head ache after performing them.
