Distressing Accident.
FROM THE NEW CHARACTERIZATION

MAN FALLS FROM THE NEW GRAIN-ELEYATOR
ANb is INSTANTLY KILLED.
Yesterday morning about % o'clock a
most distressing accident occurred at the
new grain-eleyator now in process Of con-
structi0n at the corner OF seventeenth and
Washington streets, resulting in the almost
instan! death. OF Mr.. James II. Tyree, Il
well-known carpenter OF this city. From
the statements Of eyc-wincsses OF the sad
affair it seems that Mr.. Tyree, who was one
Of the contractors for the work, had gone
upon the building for the purpose Of taking
the time Of the men under his charge,
with 4 view TO settling with them at
noon, when they would quit work
for the day. He was walking on the scaf-
folding running around the structure,
steadying himself by holding on 10 the
timbcrs above, when unfortunately he
caught hold Of piece that was loose, lost
his balance, and fell to the ground, a dis
tancc Of at least fifty feet. He was imme-
diately taken up and carried into an adj
Joining building, but life was already eX-
tinct.
The Coroner upon being notified repair
ed 10 the spot, and after hearing state
ment rs to the circumstances attending the
accident decided that an inquest was un-
necessary. An examination OF the remains
showed that the head was badly bruised
and the ribs on the left side crushed in;
but it is thought that death was caused by
the severe conclusion produced by the fall.
The deceased lived at No. 214 south JEFF
fcrson street. was about tifty-two years old,
and leaves a wife and several children.
He will be buried by Amity Lodge. No.
7G. \. +. and 4. Masons. OF which order
he was a respected member.

From the TobaccO-Trade Review, Of London.l
For twenty years and more the stock OF
tobacco known a. "Fruits and Flowers I"
has, on the American continent, occupied a
high position in public estimation. Popu-
lar even amongst the most noted brands,
ITS consumption has been large. and there
are few tobacco-stores on the other side OF
the Atlantic in which it, handsomely-de-
signed packets are not seen, and few
smokers in that very nicotian region who
do not sing its praises. The manufactu-
rer OF this species Of tobacco has recent
ly, with iustifiabe enterprise, introduced
the ''Fruits and Flowers TO the English
smoking public, and for that purpose has
appointed "a his agents Messrs. II. Cooper
Il Co., OF 6 Guildhall-chambers Basinghall
street, London. T.. G. The tobacco is man.
ufactured by Mr.. Edwin T. Pilkinton, Of
Richmond, Va, gentleman whose length
ened experience in the heart OF the tobacco
producing region has well qualified him TO
cater for the best tastesof smokers. The
popularity OF the Fruits and Flowers"
tobacco is that it is quite pure. II Is
manufactured from Virginia and North
Carolina old srn-cured stock, and no.
thing in the shape OF swee;cning
or moistening matter is added, or
indeed anything which, by a stretch of
the imagination, might be called an adultc-
rant. The result OF this simple method II
preparation Is that all the characteristic
qualities Of old sm-curod Virginia are
placed at the disposal OF the smoker. un-
obscured by the admiXtTe Of any foreign
matter. The fragrance and aroma have all
that richness which Charles Lamb so grace
fully sang in his Farewell TO Tobacco -

I'm smoking, the effects are most agreeable,
and it is possible to puf rapidly and fu-
riously at a pipe charged with Fruits and
Flowers" without the mouth being unduly
heated, or the tongue blistercd or even
bitten. The tobacco il also made up into
cigarettes, in which il employed a species
OF rice paper prepared AZ scrIpulously as
the tobacco itself. OF these cigarettes Mr..
Pilkinton says: "rhey require no puff
ing except what will be done by each man
who smokes them" Ii only remains to be
stated that the packets in which the tobacco
and cigarettes are packed are "got up" in
a handsome manner

The cigarettes, cigarette-tobacco, and
smoking-tobacco manufactured by h. T..
Pilkinton, OF this city, are perfect models
OF splendid Workmanship and excellent
specimens OF the most fragrant leaf grown
in the world. The packages into which
they are placed are just lovely; great artis-
tic taste and skill are shown in them. Ii
seems 10 Us that ii a man wants 10 send a
present TO far-away friend he could not
possibly do better than to secure one OF
these packages. The ladies are constantly
wondering what that is suitable they can
give their gentlemen friends. We know
OF nothing better than one Of Pilkinton's
packages. His tobaccos are pure, OF deli
cious flavor, and are put up for use exactly
like they ought to be; and in this day OF
