At that bour the screams of a woman im distress aroused the inmates from their bes, who made an offert te obtain an eatrance te the room of Edwerd MoDosmall, ormaker, from which the noise and ories of murder emsns.cd.

Hortieulcural Exhibition, ‘The Horticultural Society beld their annual June ex- hibition of fruits and flowers yesterday, im the readiag room of the Astor Library, and attracted quite an ss- semblage to witness it. The day was mot pleasant, bat the exhibition apparently suffered no diminution thereby. In the evening, the rooms were quite thronged to listem to an address which was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Os- good, who spoke on flowers and their influences in eloquent and impressive manner. The exhibition this year was very creditable in one ortwo departments. We have never seem a finer collec- tion of choice roses, though the numbers were but few. Pot and greenhouse plants were scarce, and mo very re- markable specimens were exhibited. In fruit the show was especially defective, there being only a few berries and grapes, which, though very fine in their way, would give a stranger but a very poor idea ot what our State i* capable of producing. There were a few vegetables ox- hibited—radishes, saJad, and the like—but this depart- ment was too meagre to be worthy ef more than a mere mention. Among the roses, we noticed the follewing named, which were very fine of their kind, amd attracted gene, ral attention:— Madame Lamoriciere, Sydonte, Reme, Auguste Mie, Madame Hardy, Barone Halles de Clap.
