"A Beautiful Viep.-A few days ago we as
cended to the square of the cupola of the Con-
trail Presbyterian Church, which is 112 feet
from the ground, when one of the most beauti-
tul pictures we ever beheld, was presented
| to our view. We looked down on the en-
tire city, and were not little surprised to find
such q vast number of trees, handsome gar
| dens filled with flowers and shrubbory, and
| pleasant looking residences, grouped together
| in such manner as to greatly exceed any idea
that can be given by either words or painting.
/ At this elevation the hum of industry, the
grating OF the saw and the click of the ham
mer, could scarcely be heard, and silence SEEM
cd to reign around. Far in the distance lay
smiling fields and pleasant looking farm houses
with groves and clumps of trees, scattered
around on every hand. New Castle, Delaware
City, and other towns were seen in the dis
| lance, and the hills OF our neighboring State,
New Jersey, seemed to rise up until they met
the clouds-iorming leyelwith the position we
| occupied. Crafts of various size were scatter
| ed along the surface of tho Delaware, with
their white sails bearing the products of indus
| try, to their destined port; the Brandywine
looked placid and beautiful, while the Christi
ana wound through rich fields and pleasant
wales, looking like a line of FURNISHED silver,
completing the picture, and giving it a finish
beyond the power and conception of any of
| carth's most renowned artists. In this connec-
ton, we may add; the church, which will per-
haps be the finest in our State, is expected to
= be completed some time next month, when il
A will be dedicated to the worship of the Crea-
tor and Ruler of the Universe. The organ il
!, one of the largest in the country, there being
I. but one larger in the city of Philadelphia, AND
l. no effort has been spared to render tho build
n ing appropriate to the purpose for which it il
), to be set apart.
Mischlepous BOys.-SOme three or four mis-
ehievous boys took the horse and dearborn o
;; j. IL. Hohecker, Esq, from Shipley street, oil
u Wednesday last, and made trip into tn,
country. After Mr.. H.. had transacted hi
business, he was surprised to find that his hors,
j. and dearborn had been removed, and proceed
cd to search for them throughout the city, goinl
. to the different oll-gates, and making inquire
~ without success. On Thursday morning h,
had bills struck off, offering reward Of 81
- Tor the return Of his property, and $50 for the
y arrest and conviction Of the thief. AT noon, il
= company with ohm 4. Brown, he took the car.
Tor Philadelphia, where his search proved futile
y We learn that the the boys proceeded to the
- Red Lion camp ground, where they remained
"a all night, and on the way back on Thursday
one OF the cleats came off the end of the single
tree, and being unable to fasten it on, they left
,, the dearborn this side the toll-gate and took
the mare upone OF the back streets to the stable
| oil X. X. Jones, where they left it, stating that
il belonged to their father.
n Fruu.-It is certainly surprising that SO
S many persons neglect to set out fruit trees,
when theynOt only serve to beautify their ground
bat add to their incomes or at least to the lux
} uriss and delcacies CT the table. Among the
few in our city who have devoted much atten-
; ton to this matter is our friend, DR.. j. W.
Thomson, whose yard or garden at this time
presents a very attractive appearance. Be-
l oil nyt ii n
kinds of plums, apricots, cherries, and some
fifty variety of pears, which now hang in
golden clusters on trees ranging from four feet
high up to twenty feet in height. They are de-
ightful fruit, keeping well, and may be OBJ
tanned at very little expense. Trees may be
procured at 81 each, from Mr.. Wilder, Of Mas
Sachusetts, which will bear the first year that
they are set out, and continue to do so many
years with but little care. We hope that the
example OF DR.. t. may be more generally fol-
lowed.
ROU.-Qute an interesting scene took place
in the Fifth ward on Tuesday evening. A lady
of doubtful reputation evidently under con-
! siderable excitement, was staggering along the
pavement, when she fancied she had been in
| suited by the inmates of the house at the cor
ner of Fourteenth and French streets. To re-
sent this supposed insult was but the work of
a moment, and stones, brickbats and various
kinds of missiles were brought into requisition,
greatly TO the detriment of the windows and |
jeopardy OF the heads of the occupants of the |
| house. The police were brought to bear upon |
the begerent, and the usual consequences
of such proceedings in the shape of costs, fine
and bail wound up the affair.
