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.

.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.

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

A Wierroinancer in Paris.
(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.
" Very good," replied De Caston, with a smile
and a bow, "be so kind as to open the paper I
gave you On entering your study." • ;
"Judge of my stupefaction," said M.
on:recounting this little scene to your care-

bad given me, on coming into the room, con
tained an exact duplicate of my" list not one

lowing each other in exactly the same order
as in mine
Oh another occasion, M. G--being alsopre
sent, a little group of scientific men, including
the great astronomer, M. Le Verner, had as
sembled privately to witness De Casten's
wonders.
do not pretend to any vast amount of
science," remarked that gentleman to his
learned audience, "but I have discovered a
method of calculation which enables me to re-
SOIVe any mathematical problem, no matter
bow difficult, instantaneously." " NOnsense,
sir," shouted M. Le Vorrier, who is very iras
cible and very rude when out of temper, " the
thing is lifipossible Ps
‘, Try me," returned do Caston, requesting a
great mathematician present to propound
some very difficult problem in the upper re
gions of algebra. 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. But the latter,
furious at seeing-his statement refuted, and
giving full course to his ill-teniper, assailed de
Caston with torrents of invective, calling hint
a trickster, a buffoon, a charlatan; and, de
claring that he would not stay to witness such
impudent knavery, took his departure in a
rage.
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. But what is to
be thought of Operations, mental orietherwise,
producing results so utterly incomprehen
