This is the most thoroughly available contribution to the funds of the exhibition ever made from any single source. Our State legislature has given $1,000,000, but it was entirely restricted in its use ; our city councils have given in all about $1,500,~ 000, but the greater art of this also has been limited in its app ication. The gift of '7 Congress is entirely free, to be used as the mana ers may see fit, and can be distributed to a ozen different objects.

To-day the old story, “rum did it," was brought to our minds again, as the judges charge tells-the story we give it in full. Judge Allison said : “ Patrick Quigley, you that the boy was stabbed, but on discovering it, with the aid of his son, Mr. John Hen- derson, Jr., he carried him to his father’s, sending one of the boys for adoctor. Before they got the wounded boy to the house, however, he was dead, and the doctor was of the opinion that the knife-blade had entered the aorta. The boy Green, after doing the stabbing, ran home, undressed himself, and went to bed, where he was afterwards found by Lieutenant Brown of the Sixteenth Police District, who had been informed of the oc- currence, and arrested the boy and took him to the station-house, where he was held to await the action of the coroner. Green ac- knowledges to have done the stabbing, but claims that it was done in self-defence, that King was a bigger bo than him and was im- posing on him, and hat two boys were at- tackin him at once. The latter statement is co "med by Mr. Henderson, who says that another boy struck Green at about the same time King did. We are now on the eve of an important municipal election. The voters of this city have in their power to say to-morrow, wheâ€" ther the government of Philadelphia during the next year shall be an improvement on that of last, but who to vote for is the ques- tion. Our city is placarded on all sides,â€" “ vote for this man or that "â€"cach of them claiming to be “the man ;" but the proba- bilities are that a large number of voters will not exercise their privilege, as they are utterly disheartened to try to secure a good city government.

Higher up the river we went, till the men thought they could cross without danger of being carried down the river by the tide, passed the landing place on the other side. A sort of channel was found, and through that we went, having on each side a threatening wall of crashing ice. Suddenly an 0 )en space appeared, and a sail was immediate y set and we skimmed quiet- ly over the lake-like surface without the aid of paddles. In a iew minutes we were among the ice floes again, paddling thrmwh a channel; but this gradually cldsed, till the danger of the canoe being crushed like an eggshell, compelled the crew and the work- ing assengers to leap out and haul the light- ene vessel over the ice ; this was not unac- companied by danger, for every new and then some of them slipped into the water be- tween the pieces of ice and wet themselves to the waist in the horribly cold river. Then followed a respite, for another small sheet of clear water brought the sail again into requi- sition. Another immense mass of ice was before us with a welcome channel, and into that we glided ; but not for a great distance, for in a short time We became ice-locked; the channel behind 11s had become closed, and we drifted helplessly down with the floating mass. It was impossible to drag the canoe from its dangerous osition, as on each side the ice was more t an ten feet high, piled up like jagged rocks. The crew for a time seemed paralyzed; but one of them, more active than the rest, climbed up one of the ice mountains to discover a rmeans of escape; he soon returned with the dis. heartening news that he saw none. Swiftly we were carried down the stream, dreading each moment to be crushed to atoms. Two hours passad and our position was unaltered. At last a movement of the ice filled us with horror; the channel was gradually closing. All had to leave the canoe and gain the icy barriers. The man said that the ice had be- come jammed in front, and that the canoe would be broken to pieces if it could not be lifted from its position; but while he was speaking the disaster occurred, and we saw canoe, luggage and freight reduced to atoms by the irresistible ice flees. Far away in the distance we saw the shining roofs and church steeples of Quebec; to the north was the Island of Orleans, between which and our- selves was a narrow strip of the blue waters of the St. Lawrence. \Vithin half a mile to the south was the Beaumont shore, seven miles below Levis ; but, between us and that shore, was a disheartening prospect. {ocks “'0 the cabin passengers stepped into the canoe and wrapped ourselves as comfortably as possible, waiting for our departure. I could not see much of my companions. A large cloud completely hid the lady‘s face from View; but, by the way she clung to her husband, she was both terrified and cold. At ten o’clock we weighed anchor, that is, the canoe was shoved from the batture into the river. No sooner was it so, than the men began paddling up the river against the tide ; it was so strong that our headway was hard- ly erceptible. Extra paddles were then ham ed to the steerage passengers to assist, and our progress was a little better. For a long distance we continued to skirt the city wharves, for no opeuin seemed to oifer in the com act and rugge masses of ice which rushed L own the stream. At times a large block would almost graze our canoe, and the higher parts of it overhung us as we passed.

The residents in the neighborhood of Twentieth and Master Streets, onFriday night, about half-past ten o’clock, were startled by a loud noise, very much resembling an explosion, and the flying of bricks about the street. The noise came from a two-story brick building in the rear of the house of Mr. Keely, and was used for an experimental shopfor the Keely Motor. Some of the residents of the neighborhood, became alarmed, and on Saturday afternoon, com- plained to Mayor Stokley, alleging that their property was endangered by these export ments, especially if the experience of Friday evening was to be repeated Lieutenant Crook, of the Twenty-third District Police, was telegraphed to, to investigate the matter and report, and this morning his report was resented to Mayor Stokley, and is as fol- ows; “ In making a hydraulic test on one of the chambers which is to be connected to the Keely Motor, the displacement of a. plug caused a, slight rupture, a quality quite dif- ferent from an explosion. It occurred on Friday evening, about 10.30 p. n1., in a two- story brick building on Twentieth Street, above Master, and the only damage done was the forcing of the plug through the brick wall making a hole about one foot square.” MISCELLANEOUS. “'0 are still having open weather. . . . .The steamers have commenced running again be- tween here and Trenton, 30 miles above on the Delaware. . . . .The city owns three ice boats which are employed to tow vessels be- tween this city and the Ocean, usually earn about $10,000 a season, but so far this win- ter their earnings will not amount to $2,000.

THE SENTENCE OF GEORGE FLETCHER. On Nov. 3, George Fletcher killed James Hanley. All efforts for a new trial being un- evailing, he was brought up for sentence on Saturday. The Clerk of the Court then ad- jdressod the prisoner saying; “George \V. Fletcher, have you aught to say why sentence should not be pronounced against you." The risoner re )licd : “ All I have to say is that ‘ was drun when I did it.” Then Judge Biddle said : “Geo. W'. Fletcher, under an indictment presented by the grand inquest, inquiring for this city and county, you have been fairly and impartially tried by a jur of your peers for the murder of James Han ey, and notwithstanding the earnest efforts of able counsel on your behalf, the jury has found you guilty of the highest crime known to the law, the penalty of which is death. The court in view of the law and the evidence cannot disapprove of that verdict, and noth- ing now remains but to pronounce the sen- tence which follows it, which sentence is, that you, Geo. XV. Fletcher, be taken hence to the County Prison from whence you came, and thence to the place of execution, and that you be hanged by the neck until you are dead, and may God, in his infinite goodness have mercy on your soul.” The condemned man displayed no emotion when the sentence was pronounced, and gave but slight indica- tions of being affected when his wife and children were led to the dock to him. They eonversed together for some time, his wife crying all the while, and finally Fletcher was removed to jail. power, you invited her to the seclusion of an upper room, and there, with cool deliberation you murdered her. As she lay, weltering in her blood, which your hand had shed, in the presence of creditable witnesses she charged you with havmg inflicted upon her her fatal wounds, and that you had declared in so do- ing your purpose was to have your revenge for real or supposed wrongs which you had suffered at her hands. Before this charge you were drunk, and the commonwealth having arraigned you upon it and obtained a verdict establishing your guilt, and there being no legal reason for further delay, it only remains with me, before passing upon you the dread sentence of the law, to advise you to make all needed preparations for death, to count not on reprieve or pardon, and commend you to the gracious and for- giving God who alone can remit the guilt of your great crime. The sentence of the Court is: That you, Patrick Quigley, be taken from hence to the jail of the County of Philach- phia. from whence you came, and from thence to the place of execution, and that you be there hanged by the neck till you are dead, and may God, have mercy on your soul.” During the address the prisoner exhibited si us of nervousness, and, when, Judge A ison had ended, Quigley charged his re.

JOHN Fons'rnn, the eminent historian, hi- ographer, and critic, who died in London on the let inst. , has for mahy years been regard- ed as one of the foremost men of letters in England. He was born in Newcastle in 1812, was educated at the University of London, and was a member of its first law class. With his classmates he established the-Lon- c’on University Magazine, out of which grew the Englishman‘s Magazine. To this period- ical Mr. Forster contributed a series of biog- raphical articles on the “ Early Patriots of England," which were subsequently enlarged into his Lives of Slatesmen under the Common- weauh. He pursued the study of the law under Chitty, and was called to the bar, but soon became a valued contributor to period- icals. He became editor of the Examiner in 1846, and wrote largely for every number of it, in the de artment of politics and literary criticism. e was also for four years editor of the Foreign Quarterly Review, and after the retirement of Mr. Charles Dickens edited the Daily News for about one year. In 1855 he married the wealthy widow of Henry Col, burn the publisher. In 1856 he became the secretary of the Lunacy Commission, and in 1861 was gazetted Commissioner of Lunacy. He wrote occasionally for the Edinburgh Re- view and the Foreign Quarterly. Hjs princi. pal works are lives of Oliver Goldsmith, . ir John Elliott, Walter Savage Landor, and Charles Dickens. All his works, especially the Lives of Statesman, are considered to pos- sess a high literar value.

I have observed in the dis- secting-room, and also in making post-marten: examinations of the bodies of those who have died of different diseases, that in a large pro- portion of cases, the liver has given evulence of having at some time been diseased. Liver affections are equally prevalent in beasts. Every butcher knows that the livers of catâ€" tle, sheep, and swine, are ten times as frequently diseased as any other organ. A healthy liver each da secretes about two and a~half pounds of bi 0. When it becomes torpid, congested, or if, from any cause, it be disabled in the performance of its duties, it is evident that the elements of the bile must remain in the blood, thus irritating, poison- ing, and perverting, every vital process.

Upon the snow cloth were arranged bright flowers in reeklhss profusion, while, mingling with fruit, flowers and wondrous dishes, the bright silver-ware rlittered in the light of numerous gas jets am the soft rays of fift .four wax candles rising from radiant cande abra. The recesses formed by the bow windows were turned into beautiful conserva- tories, and a delicious effect was produced by placing large mirrors against the windows as a background for the plants. The reflection of the foliage caused the windows to appear to the eye as so many entrances to green houses of great depth, thus imparting the borrowed enchantment of distance to the View. In one window was a little grove of orange trees and banana plants ; another was a. minature forest of tropical palms, bending gracefully to the carpet, and a third recess was filled with ferns of every description, onraptnring to the vision. The walls were hun r with paintings of figures and landscapes, whi e eighteen cages, filled with golden- winged feathered songstors, were suspended from the ceilings at appropriate intervals.
