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

cheaper lhau any other establishment hi the
couutry.

the miserable little tilings and make them look
like large and line ones.

HI. kind and liberal disposition lias won
fur him the esteem of some of the bcr-t business
men in the country. While bin numerous fi lends

they wish him sueces in till hi p.itv.re ruter

lessening. In New York city a number of three
year leases which expire at the end of the year
have bec-c replaced at a reduction ol from thirty
to thirty-five per cent. While, everything else
has been coming down l.-i 'hard pan," rents
have sUadily maintained their high and proud
jMisition throughout tbe country. What has
taken place in New York must be followed every
where. Men workiug for a dollar a d.iy should
not be expected to pay the same njit as when
they receive! two dollars a day b r the taiin:

Tivr.s iM-ing- hard and editors being neglected
by their patrons, the generous-hearted landlord
r the Clement House, P. S. I!nrrII, kindly fur
nished two editors, several jour printers and a
doctor, of this place, with a splendid Christmas
dinner ou Saturday last. 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

If our neighbor wiil hold out ar.d not full from

CiiittSTMAS Or..r.i;vACE. Clnistmas was gen
erally observed in this place as a holiday.
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.
Hempcily.

A decrease ol IS scholars this year compared
with last. 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.
At the conclusion of this, the assemblage was

A Mas ItAi.l.T BritsEi) is on: Lock-it. A
man who was very much intoxicated was picked
up by one of our policemen on Monday evening
and consigned to the lockup. During the night
he doubtlessly rolled about a good deal and in
some manner his clothing caught firo from the
stove and when he was found Tuesday morning
all his clothing was burned off with the excep
tion of his shirt. Tiie man's limbs were ba lly
burned. Dr. Wright was called to attend the
unfortuuate sufferer and he was removed to a
house on Sbaraokiii street, aud from there it
was proposed to remove l.lm to thf Poor House!

be a valuable present for one, two or three years
to come, just as you want It. Remember the
state of atlairs as they now arc, the numerous
fires that we daily hear of, the coiniv.g storms
and high winds, the many bams and houses I
that are set on lire siiiee the cold winter is upon
us, and the appalling increase of tramps who)
want shelter. The use of intlamahle and cxplo- i

Geo. W. Coble. Esq., of Hcrndou, and take a I
lire insurance policy on your house, barn or j
household furniture in one of the oldest and
most reliable companies iu the world, the -Etna, j

the Pi iTst'.i itoti Gazette, Daily or weekly, as it
will be seen to be the best paper published in
f Pittsburgh. It is the oldest, beins: nearly ninety
years old, and has kept pace with all phases of
modern newspaper piogrcss. It is printed on
new type, and on clean, whte, handsome paper.
Its news is specially full, and accurate. It re
ceives Cable news from Europe, nnd Dispatches
from all parts of the couutry. It has Special
Correspondents in Washington, during the ses
sion of Congress, and at Harrisburg during the
session of thu Legislature, and will give full re
ports of all that is interesting in the procced'ni"..
Its Local news is complete and varied, jet
chaste and pure. Its Ediloiials contain tren
chant liiscus.-ioiis of a'.! current subjects, and
deal independently with ail the issues of the
hour. The rapcr is Republican in politics, but
holds that the party is superior to eli'jues and
rinirs. Its market icports are specially full and
complete, and have a reputation that is wide
spread f.-r accuracy and reliability. Its reports
j of the live stock muikcl are also tbe best In the
city. Iu Irc'i'.icnt instances', parties i:i ma conn
try have saved or made considerable sums by
f'lllo'viug the accurate reports of prices, given in
the G ir.ifi:, in making their sales. 1 1 also con
tain agricultural, household and family reading,
carefully selected. Thus it is a family paper of
great excellence and rare cheapness, as to price.
Its circulation is the largest of the Pittsburgh
press. The Gazette is lurnUhcd at the follow
ing rates, and we claim that they all'ord the
i cheapest newspaper published, when tin size and
'piality of the pap -r are considered :

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. Sjiecial a'teution will be civen to the Progress
and Interests of Manufactures, Mining and Ag
riculture throughout the country.
The COMMERCIAL
MAKES SPECIAL CLAIMS AS A
Family Newspaper,
Every effort being made to render it a pleaeant
and profitable companion for the Home Circle,
while its columns will be carefully guarded
against objectionable matter of all kinds. Its
Market aud Fiuancial Report!
Will be full and accurate, embracing facts from
all tbe leading Trade Centers of the World, and
of great value to - Meliauts, Manufactures,
Farmers and all engaged in business of any
kind.
Its arrangements for securing Early aud Re
liable New are complete. 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."
