Palmer, one of the lead ing young business men of the city, senior member' f the auction house of Palmer & Phillipt, died yesterday afternoon at his of- flee on Fifth avenue, from the effects of laudanum administered, some holuspre. vlow3, by his own hinds, for the purpose, it is fair to presume, of destroying life. The deceased, on Thanksgiving, purchased a small phial of laudanum at a' Maiket street drug house, the contents of which he swallowed - at his'ollice sme time during Thanksgiving night. At 'a little after six o'clock, - yesterday_ morning, an employee opened the rooms , and on entering the office at the rear of the- store, discovered Mr. Palmer lying on a lounge in an insensible condition. He gave an immediate alarm ' and medical aid was at once summoned. Dr jr.ll Coffeyand Ring were soon in attend ance upon Mr. Palmer, and a brief exam! -nation of the symptoms served to show that he was, laboring undei the influence of a strong dose of laudanum. The moat active measures were.at once taken to counteract the effects of the poison, and restore the unfortunate man to consciousness. The ordinary antidotes entirely, failed, so com plete wait' the mastery which the drug had obtained over the system. - The use of pow erful galvanic batteries was resorted to and their application was continued actively throughout the forenoon, but entirely with out avail, and he died in the afternoon as stated. Cal ft. Palmer was a native of this city, and enjoyed high reputation as a gentle man of worth, capacity, integrity and honor. He was in the army daring the entire war, entering as anon-commissioned officer in the Friend Rifles and gradually advancing. till he became Captair. He was conspicuous in -that bravest of all brave companies for gallantry and daring, and carries with him to the grave the heart felt sorrow of all his companions. - He was but thirty-five years of ag e and leaves a wife and several small ch ildren. It is hard to account for Mr. Palmer's death except on the hypothesis that he intended to destroy himself, and why he should have desired -to accomplish that end is' a' deep mysterYZto all his friends: The most satis factory theory is that the mind of the de oeased was so weakened by the press of business care . and responsibility resting upon him, and a chronic sickness contract ed in the army, alb to encourage the rash deed; The following evidence was adduced at the inquest held yesterday afternoon by Coroner Clawson Michael Yeager, porter of the thitablish ment, testified that he went into the store about seven o'clock in the morning. Upon entering the office he discover the de ceased - lying Upon a lounge, breathing heavily, and insensible. He notiffed.a po liceman, Who came into the store, and af t et* war d s procured medical assistance. . fuels. G. Moorhead, policeman, sworn— Was standing at the . corner of Fifth and Efralthfield streets, at about seven o'clock this morning, when the porter of the store came to me and said that Mr. Palmer was very gait. i came down and found him lying on a lounge in the office, covered with a blanket. - I went for Dr. King,and Dr. Coffey. Mr. Palmer looked as ,if he was in a dying condition when I found him. N. J. McCiarren, druggist on/ Market street, sworn—Am aequainted with the de newd; he was at my store at/about three o'clock yesterday afternoonv he pirchased an ounce of laudanum and two ounces of sweet oil, In' separete vials; ha said they were for family use. 111 fr appeared very cheerfnl, and converted upon the topics of the day, as visual; he was perfectly sober, and evidently. had not been drinking. He talked about business matters in a perfectly rational manner. By a juror—lt was a little. after three o'clookwhen he hailed me irom across the Street. He said, "By the way, seeing you reminds me that I want some laudanum and,sweet oil to take.home." - Dr. H. B. illoffey, sworn—Was called to see Mr. Palmer this morning about eight r/Olclock; found him insensible and appar ently dying; his breathing was heavy and irregular. He had the symptoms pro dueed by an overdose of opium. We first used the galvanic battery, and afterwards pied the stomach pump; the contents of the stomach smelled strongly of laudanum. Ills death was caused by an overdose of tincture of opitim, commonly called lauda num. The probability is that he took the laudanum in the early part of the night— between ten and twelve o'clock. Philip Wagner, Jr., swim—Was an in timate friend of the deceased: was in the store with Mr. Palmer and Mr. Phillips until nine o'clock Thursday night, at which time witness said he would go home, (in Manehester,) and started, Mr. Palmer went with him as far as the corner of Penn andilt. Clair streets, where they separated Mr. Palmer was talking, while In the store, about business matters. He said he had a letter to write to a firm in New York, and he did not like to do it. Albert_ Rater, sworn—Went into the store about ten- o'clock P. and found Messrs. Palmer and Phillips both there; sat down and the three talked together until abodeleven, when we all started home, walking together as far as the foot of Wylie 'street,, -where we separated, the witness and 3lr Phillim proceeding up Wylie. towards 'their home. The deceased resides at No. 480 Rossotreet, and was on his way home.' Whe parties bade each other "good night". when they separated. Mr. Palmer was all -right; "he Appeared to be in better spirits -than usual. - The jurY returned a verdict "that the de <sensed canes to hisdeath from the effects of, anoverdese of laudanum administered by himself." Probably Fatal Shooting Affray. Between elevey and twelve o'clock, Thursday night; ein affray occurred at Tar nerJiiall at a tall given by -the Nonpariel Swint Club, which will probably result In the death of me of the participants. George Thalami James Sims, who have heretofore beenen friendly terms, attended the ball, Sims baying Wills charge two little girls. 'Daring the early part of the evening the parties snot sword times and were as usual very friendly. Later, in the evening it seems that Hail remarked to some one In the Hall that them girls Sims had with him should:, be in the house of refuge. Sims heard of the remark and ;attacked . Hall when flghtenattedAuring which Hall plot the better of him and it is , alleged bit piece of his lip off. The friends of the corn- Utanta thenanterfered andeeparated them, wken Sims started down stairs and Hall followed-him in a short time afterwards. When Hall had just got about half way down,the third flight of eclairs, Sims who was at the head of-the next flight below, turned round and fired at him with a re volver, the, bail taking effect in the abdo men, below the naval. Hall -was irnmedi otely earned to his home on Chatham street,. wherehe; as attended by Dr. Wal ters.. Re was still living at last accounts, but it is altogether. probable the wound will prove fatal. - ;In view of thie fact, Mayor Slaokmore was sent for about one' o'clock yesterday 'Morning; and took the wounded man's :apposition, upon which a warrant was i s . good for . the arres t o f gime, who had not been arrested at a latebour last night.

Between eleven-and twelve o'clock Wed nesday night, a destructive fire occurred in Ohio township, a short 'distance beldw the Glendale station. oil the' Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railway, by which the starch manure - dory at Messrs. Strub Jt Stu , hoenger was totally destroyed, and Mr. George Muellergrash, nit' employe of the establisement, was burned to death. Mul lergrash and a young son of Mr. Strub were sleeping lit the building when the fire broke °mould after throwing the trunks out of a window , effected their escape. A ft er getting out Mullergrash remembered that he hid left a coat and cravat in the room he had just left, and expressed his determi nation to return and rescue them. Young Strub asked him to help break open the, doors of the counting room and save ,the books, but he declared he would not until he pad saved the elothing. He accordingly started up stairs and that was the last seen of him. It is supposed that he was suffo cated by the smoke to such a degree as to be,unable to make his . escape. Coroner Clawson held an inquest on the /body, which was recovered from the ruins sometime after the fire had been extin guished. andthe jury returned a verdict in accordance with the above facts. • The deceased was a single man, about thirty-two years of age. There is no clew as to the origin,of the fire. The loss is estimated at about 113.000, .Upon which there was an insurance of $BOBO. John Barry made information yesterday before Alderman Mehttisters' against Ed . ward Shannon and Agartain Holtman for larceny. 13arry stated that on Thanksgiving evening he went into the saloon of the de fendants by invitation of a friend, who also took with hiM several other companions. Oysters were called for and supplied in abundance, and after the company had sup plied themselves with the cheer they one by one departed until Barry was left alone in his glory., 9.fter a short time he stated tnat he also endeavored to leave but was de taped by the defendants, who very natural ly wished to be paid for the entertainment. Barry says he told them he bad no money, he was only an invited guest, and they would have to look for the man who or dered the fare. Not satisfied with thiii seemingly fair and lucid statement of the situation, Barry alleges that the defendints seized upon his hat, valued' at four dollars, and informed him that they intended to keep it in their possession until he,hunted up his friends and contrived to get the bill paid. Barry then hunted upthe Alderman and made the information as stated, but at the hearing of the case the Alderman charged the defendants and allowed them to keep the hat. Barry feels. that he has been unjustly dealth but he must have his hat back, and is hunting up his friends toget the bill paid with this object in view. • Daring Robbery. Thursday evening last, one of the Most daring- and impudent robberies was per petrated,- taking into ,consideration the hour and the locality in which it occurred, Mr.ha p ve heard of for some time ast. A Leonard; a German, having been to visit a friend in the Twelfth ward, was re turning about eight o'clock in the evening. Coming down Penn street, at the corner of Penn and Wayne,he was. joined by a Ger man who he did not know. but who struck up a conversation with-'him in his native tongue and walked with him to Merdock's alley, when lie seised him by the throat, and was immediately joined by two other, men, who by direction of the one who had hold of im, took his Watch and a pocket book containing fourteen dollars, and then fled.

Was It Larceny! Married. _ . Encouragement_ of 'Art.. , , It is a we ll known fact that Europeans. are .1 generally impressed. with the -idea that , . . a Americana' have false taste in all highly finished or decorative works produced by , skilled artizans, and they cater, when at work for the American market, to what ,they consider the popular demand, by. offering tie works of a gaudy and mere tricious style, rather than of the purest and best examples of art or workmanship. The fact is so well known to our largest im porters, that when any article of excellence is demapded, they plaoe particular stress upon the order, and even then theydo ,n t not always succeed in obtaining a article. The inconsistency of the American people is illustrated in their peculiar method of encouraging art. They deny the ability of the American. artisan to produce work exhibiting rare skill and taste, and at the same time import inferior articles. If they are really honest it is their duty to encourage native skill and talent.' 'Ailong as they prefer foreign manufactures to home productions they , should not depreciate American manufactures. If they do not' appreciate American art, they need not wonderlf it lang . shes. Fottunately, how ever, there Id ali .. t to even this disposition so common Ito a arge class of our people. They cannot import lakes, fields or dwel lings. In the matter of architecture they are Compelled either to copy or originate. In this we have .succeeded so well that a celebrated English writer, speaking of the public and private buildings in 'New York and. Philadelphia; expressed the opinion that they exceeded in beauty and elegance the finest '; . buildings ,in England. In church architecture, especially, and in, church appointments we have made won derfu.l strides. Perhaps nothing in the way of art adds more to the interior beauty of a church than richly stained glass. Yet even here we have accomplished wonders. A quarter of a Century ago few church ed ifices in the country boasted stained win dein. Now they are everywhere to be seen. In time this art bids fair to flourish in America as it has flourished 'lithe oldest cities of Europe. Utilitarians will see noth ing commendable in this. Those who are interested in the art, however, cannot fail to welcome the new order of thing's. 'And to them we address ourselves directly. There can be nothing more certain than the fact that with every new design, with every new demand for an article requiring rare skill, taste and judgment, the chances are that the artisan will find himself taxed to keep pace with the improvements sought after by the public. Whoever gratifies his taste by securing a specimen of art that re quires the study and reflection of the arti san contributes directly to art. This is,ln fact, the practical encouragement of art. That the mass'of the American people are disposed to view the matter in the same light we need only adduce the experience of a single establishment of this city. Messrs. Page, Zellers dc Duff, pioprietors of , the Ainerican Glass Works, have made ex tensive preparations for the production of a large amount of stained, enameled and ground gl . Combining glass making with gi staining, einplpying experienced workiu fs men, and tully determined to ex cel, th have achieved, in the short space, of a y , a reputation second to none in the co ntry. They Willa attention to the article de in the American Glass Works, fully satisfied that it will bear favorable comparison with anything manufactured in England. Parties interested in public buildings, especially church edifices, are invited to examine their stained and enam eled glass. -.. Messrs. Page, Zellers di Duff are also largely engaged in the manufacture of oval, square and round glass, shades for flowers, wax-fruit, Ste' These shades are - admirably proportioned, and as clear as crystal. All sizes made to order. 494,000 530,000 New Dry Goo& at Gardnerti. Parties in want of dry goods should take the advantage of the linv prices ruling at Gardner's, and make their selections from an entire new stock to be opened on Mon day, comprising everything adapted to the immediate wants of the public. , Our read ers are generally aware that the prices asked for goods at this house is a liberal per centage less than asked for the same goods by many other houses in j the trade, 3n consequence of which Gardner's place of business is always thronged with cus tomers when other holises complain of dull times.

No. establish ment in the city enjoys . alarger patronage, and we know of no ono who deservesit. The stock of goods kept bylilr. George will recommend his establishment to all who favor him with a visit, as they will readily discover it to be one of the largest, freshest and best selected to be found in the market. The stock comprises in addi tion to . everything found in a first class grocery . a large supply of provisions which willbe disposed of at the very lowest mar ket prices. The supply of shelf goods, canned fruits, sauces, &c., is a very large one, and of a superior Honsekeep• ers and,others needing : . anything in the groceryor provision line will find it to their advantage to call at the Original Dia -1 mond Front, 154 Federal street Allegheny. The inevitable George Thompson has turned up' in a new rcle.—that of a one , aimed soldier. Yesterday asb' Meer Nixon was walking along Ridge street,, he dis covered George begging from door:to door, gaining sympathy by representing himself as a one armed soldier, and exhibiting an empty sleeve as corro boration of hie story. He really had but one arm—at the time—the other being snugly laid down along his side and enclosed, by his underclothing and vest: The ()Ulcer; however, was not to be imposed upon, and he arrested George. The , Mayor fined him five dollars, but his begging trip had not yielded him much of a return as he was unable to pay the tine. Two fiddles which he had in his possesion were accepted as security, and he was al lowed to depart. - 3 . Dr. A. G.
