We are under obligations to our friend E. O. JI. Boose, for a copy of the holiday number of the Pittsburg O.'f.'e. It is a handsome number printed on fine paper. The selections are excel lent, and the mechanicol part is hard to excel. Owing to the large sales of Christmas pre sents, Messrs. Simon V: Oppeuheirocr ordered mother large lot of new goods which have jutt been opcucd. Their goods arc of such a good quality that all who examine them will buy, as they arc the cheapest sold. All kinds of ready made clothing will be found in their Central Clothing Hall, corner of Third and Market tlrects, and it is conceded by ail that they sell cheaper lhau any other establishment hi the couutry. The hundreds who purchased Christmas gifts at Messrs. Marx & Bro's. store next door to the Iost olilec are informed that they have received another lot for New Tears.

Tivr.s iM-ing- hard and editors being neglected by their patrons, the generous-hearted landlord r the Clement House, P. S.

Of course full justice was done the diuuer by tbe editors, and many kind words spoken in favor of the landlord. The editors came in fir a full share, nnd had it not been for the philosophical argument bi t ween a jour printer and the doctor, they would proba bly be still surrounding the festive board at the Clement noust. It was unanimously agreed that Mr. Uurrcll's libeiality as a Imdlord de served something more substantial than merely praises, and all who Tvi; moji at the ( lenient House will no doubt coincide with the invited quests on Christmas day.

Desitu ati: Tkajii'S. On Wednesday evening about half dozen "tramp," concluding that the poor house was a, free institution, broke into the establishment by force without giving notice of their ititcntiou. As they had been visiting that institution bcfoie, they were ordered to leave. There were some of the parly who refused to break stone on a previous occasion, b:it had made up their minds to force ma'-tcis. The overseers should at once proceed 1o prepare lor Fiich cu-tomer-i, :.i:d v. bcu thy rome to force themselves ri pori the charities of t!i::t free insti tution without breaking ."-lone ticy me d'.tvi I sh-JUid iuforce a litl of the P.ian v.ro lr. w f.ir puuithipg ciimiuul... A lew laslns at .t Vibi; ptng post would undoubtedly prove very benefi cial to some of these old olIeiul'.TS. We are in formed since writing the above that the next crew w;il lici a wiim re.-.-pl'.on ii Ihev coi;ie in a similar rin;irr. Got Mim:i. The editor of the Ihuhj have evidently not got over their Christ mas. On Wed nesday they directed theattentiou of tbe overseers of the poor to the bad condition ofstrcct crossings. just as though they were compelled to repair them. The street commissioner are the proper officers to attend to that duty, but we learn are prevented bv the action of the borough fathers whose economical head would rather Icavethings as they are thau make improvements. His argu ment will preb-ibly lioid good in some respects if the people were only a'.' constituted like himself. That is cot to go on the streets when muddy, and remain in doors. Bu!ncss men should cer tainly heed such advice, as they ought not to have business out doors when the weather is in I any way disagreeable. Come down lo old times, the way business w is done one hundred years ago. Tee happy landlord of the Cieu-cnt House, Mr. P. S. llurrcil, made a number ol his friends happy on Christmas d:iy by giving them a din ucr, the like of which is not often excelled by ilrst-class hotels in the cities. As the invited guests surrounded the festive board there were smiles upon their countenances, and their faces beamed as brilliant as a sim.'io'.ver on a bright July morning. Their i pel lies were voricions, but the constant supp of good things soon cooled their desires, and even sparkling cham pagne could not restore them to a second at tack. The Clement House is widely kno.vn for its cxeeiicut tare. Mr. uurrcii nas liaa large experience in hotel keeping, and his constant increase of custom is accounted for by him keeping orderly conduct about the house, excel lent fare, good rooms, aud Hue liquors at the bar. Amhtioxai. Incidents or the Finn. A stationary street peddler "ho was stopping at the Riverside House attended church on the evermg of the fire, for the first time in thirteen years, as he stated himself, and when h got to the hotel after the alarm of Cre had been given, he could not get lo his room on account of smoke, and his trunk coulaining his stock ia trade, was consumed. He lost about 2.7). He says l:c won't go to church again in a hurry, if that is the way he gets serred. The mot nota ble feature of the transaction, however, remains to be told. He had !eeu flopping at the hotel three or four days, and, meeting Mr. Iluth ufter the lire wanted to know how much his bill was. Mr. liuth told him. "nothing,"' as he had lost enough I y the fire.' Hut the stranger insisted on paying bin bi'i, and did pay it, saying Mr. I! ulh had 1 '.'. more than he had. Some person, in rescuing goods from Ha.ig t Sou's hardware store, took up an anvil weigh ing 1)0 pounds aud carried it out Broadway ind across the canal before he dropped it ! Whether he was anxious to save property or accumulate it by the tiantactiou remain a mystery. Jt was at first proposed to leave tbe treasure of the First Xational Bank in the yauit, but on the urgent invitation of II. M. Frick, E-q., Cashier of the Milton Xational Bank, it w is re- moveu to ttie latter institution. .nu it was a good moi'i fir the vault doors could not be opened for several days after tbe lire. Mrr. A. L. Wagner, of the firm ol Trucken niilier, iresh fc Wagner, lost all his clothing aud room furniture, total value being about ?j(K) they being la the Uivernide House. Mr. Anna Vomit lost about 500 worth cloth ing xc. She went up to Iit room iu the K:yer side Hour-c through the dense smoke and rescued her trunk, but there was little in tliat, its con tents having nearly ail been taken but and laid awav in wardrobe and bureau. .Vilti.uintt. Man Shot rossiut.y Fath.. Last Tuesday n'gbt a shooting affair occurred at the tavern of Kiehard Hopewell, on Mill street in this plate, which resulted in the badly wounding of a man named Max Ottlingcr, a traveling salesman from Williamsburg, Xew York. These are the facts, as far as we have been enabled to dis cover : A number of persons were assembled in the bar-room of the said tavern, enjoying them- selves in u convivial wity. buicin,' and dancing, wlicn suddenly a pit-tol was fin d by one, Charles Charlc.-ton, alfo a traveling p.ilcsrnau. The bull f'" the pUtol stand; Oettincr, penetrating the abdomen at a point about two inches above the nave. He inmici'i.iteiy eric 1 oat that be was I fcuoi. nianeMuu icn ine piaco in once, ami managed to escape from t!i.j town, a'lbouh he remained about the borough until four o'clock the uext niornin!. Tbe wound ia a t-criom one aud may prove fatal. The wounded man state! tht he: was unable to pve any reason why he j was idiot, inamueh as he kiu-xv Chariest ou mid considered him a friend. This is one ol the results arising from the cowardly habit of carrying pi.-tols concealed about tbe person, and probably the thooting pro- i ceeJcd from mere reeklcsf m-:- or bravado. We j are not surprised that an i.ct of this kind has occurred, but rather that it had not taken vlacc before. Numbers of young roughs iu this place wno u;lve w.lx,.t tm, manliness nor coura-e to depend on their muscle, carry concealed weapons ! and draw them on the slight -st occasion, and. I in lact do not hesitate to lire them oil' in the public streets to tlm peril of t:ie lives of inno cent persons. Our police must know the parlies who carry these weapons ami they nre dereliei in their duty when they f.,; arrest tueh char acters. The strong but jiit-t hand of the law will soon be invoked to rid the borough of such disturbers of its pcife: and i ui-t :;i-ss. jMuiuilf IiitrV. 'iiH nrer.

If our neighbor wiil hold out ar.d not full from grace now, which has been ns easy for him to do as sliding off a log, he will jet become a man well suited for a misbionary to some heathen country.

Crowds assembled ou the corner iu tho morn ing and arouud hotels and saloons, aad every body look happy in expectation of a big dluncr. Presents of every description were exchanged between friends as well as among families. The 6trccts appeared thronged with people all day, and we were glad to observe that no rowdyism ol any kind was visible. If any got too much beer they must have kept within doors, ns but very few drunken men were soen on the streets. The amount cvpcudrd in Sunbiiry for Christ mas prt.-eiils ni'i: t ha v been urnm-usr, as there wore but lew tint vera overlooked. Children were luado happy by Christmas bushes, which appeared to be numerous. There were many cobtly ones, and some that could not well be ex Celled for the tasteful manner they were got up. The innst handsome we noticed was at the American House, got up by miue host find host ess, Mr. A. W. H:inbright and lady. It was, perhaps, the most costly ever witnessed in Suu bnry, and was very tastefully arranged. Many of ourcitiztds gave private entertain ments to their relatives and friends, and alto gether, it was a merry day to nlmest every one. In the evening the different churches became the centre of attraction. The editors of the Dally being around to gather up the items iu the churches, we copy their report given on Monday morning last, as follows : Tlu Lutheran, Baptist, Episcopal and Inform ed churches were haudsontcly decorated with evergreens, &e., and at an early hour the crowd poured in. By seveu o'clock the Lutheran and Baptist churches were filled. AT THE 1XTI1EKAN two large Christmas trees had been erected, one ou each tide ol the alter, and were beautifully trimmed. A double arch spanned the interven ing space, over the alter, on one side of which was inscri'' 1 the lolIowi:g : "(ilory to iod iu the highest ; and i.n earth peace and good will toward all men."' And on tin: other side the following : "For to you is born this day, in I hi; city of Davi.l, a Savior, which is Christ, the Lord."' The exercises were opened by Kev. Mr. llem perley, who stated the two-fold nature of the en. tcrlaiument their annual Suuday School Anni versary, as well us their Christinas festival. This was followed by singing, "There is joy in Heaven,'" lifter which a prayer was offered by the pastor. The school then sang, "Sweet Peace on Earth," followed by a short Christinas address by Kev.

This may, perliap', be accounted for from the fact that there was no school held for twelve Sundays, on account of their having to vacate the old house before the Chapel was lin ished. Mr. Crcssingcr then gave advice t the teach ers and scholars, exhorting them, to search the Scriptures so that they would always be ready to give an answer to Bible questions, after which tho good thiugs, consisting of candies, appies, cakes, &q., were distributed to the children, and the grown people too.

Events of more than ordinary moment arc to be looked for ; and it is the duly of every pa triotic citizen to keep himself informed thereof. To accomplish this it Is only necessary to take and read a FIRST-CLASS NEWSPAPER SUCH AS THE Pittsburgh Commercial. In the future, as in the past, it will be a Mirror of the Times, a condensed History of the Age, giving fuil vnd accurate accounts of all events, at home and abroad, including graphic reports of our Gieat Centennial Exposition at Philadel phia.

Having able corres pondents at the State and National Capitals, its reports of the doings of the Lawmakers of the land cau be implicitly relied npon. As a Political Journal, THE COMMERCIAL will continue to be, as it has been, a Republican paper, fearlessly de voted to a party. It will resist, as well and as prudently as it may, any attempt to force npon the party the support of The Third-Term Mon strosity ; aud while it will strive to maintain a place in the front rank in Supporting an Honest Party Policy, it will reserve to itself the right to oppose any measure not in harmony with Re publican Principles, even though it may emanate from men know as Republicans. It will stand firm, on all occasions, by the platform of the Republican Party adopted at Lancaster, which demands "Honest men in olllce men with brains enough to know dishonesty when they see it, and courage enough to light it wherever they find it."
