Durinig the few days of the winter term preceding the holi days, nearly two hundred pupils .entered. The Normal department, too, promises to be quite successful. Those who desire for their daughters a thorough education, where solidity and polish age united, and where a wholesome discipline and paren tal care are exercised over all, will do well to give the college a trial. No insti tution in the land has made more decided progress in the last few years than our own college. Failures in Pittsburgh. From the annual circular of Dan & Co., it appears that the failures in Pitts burgh during the last year numbered but fifteen, with liabilities amounting only to $115,000.

The:inhibit for the past year is a very favorable one, and speaks well for the commercial soundness of our city. • Allegheny Poor Farm.

On New Year's day a man named Chris topher Kunkle, of Mifflin township, corn. mitted suicide by shooting himself. He went to his room about four o'clock in the afternoon, and laying down upon the floor, placed the muzzle of a double barreled gun in his month and discharged it by touching the trigger' with a poker. When his family, alarmed by the explosion, en tered the room, they found him on the floor, the top of his head blown off and his brains scattered about. The gun was still in his mouth and the poker in his hand, The Coroner held an inquest, and a verdict of death by suicide was rendered. Deceased was a middle aged man, in good circumstances, and leaves a wife and in teresting family. No cause for the dread ful act could be ascertained. Appointment. John F. Bravo, Esq., of Mifflin town ship, has been appointed to fill the vacancy in the Board of Directors of the Poor for the county, occasioned by the death of Henry Chalfant, Esq. Mayhem. George Long and a man named Irwin got into a fight on New Year's Day, at Goehring's tavern,Birmingham, and when they got into "close holds" the former seized Irwin by the lip with his teeth and tore off at least one half, leaving a fright ful wound. The piece was picked up from among the snow after the fight, and sewed in its place by a physician. No ar rests have been made. The Compromise. The City Controller, Mr. McCargo, is busily engaged in preparing for delivery the new bonds under the basis of compro mise of the railroad debt of the city. Ap plications are constantly being received (amounting, one day last week, to $6 : 000) and by the close of the present year it is be lieved that all the bonds will be taken up.

Allegheny Councils at their last meeting passed a resolution returning thanks to the fire companies of this city for tlieir aid in subduing• the numerous fires during the last three months in Motion for New Trial Argued. On Saturday a motion for a new trial in the case of Mrs. Wilson, recently convicted of arson ! was argued in the Criminal Court The chief ground upon which the mo tion was made was the alleged fact that im proper evidence hadbeen allowed to go to the jury. The District Attorney appeared for the Commonwealth and Messrs. Hamp ton and Moffett for the defence. Dischaiged. Lawrence Ingoldshy, charged with • the larceny of shoes from McClelland's auc tion howie, was discharged on Saturday by the Court, the grand jury having ignor ed the bill. Senk4nied.

A little son of Amos Loudenstine, of Conemaugh, five or six years of age, while gathering coal upon - the Railroad track one day last week, was run over by a locomotive, by which he suffered a dreadful laceration of both legs. One of his legs was broken: below the knee and 'otherwise seriously injured, while the foot :on the other leg wasishockingly mangled. It was found that both legs would have to be.amputated. 'ee Com• Mowry Storm. - Between one and two o'clock on; Sun day afterriothi otir. city was visited by.a severa l storm 'of wind and rain, which, if it had continued long ? would leave involved a serious destruttion of property. Chimney crocks, chimneys, dormer windows and shingles and trap-doors were torn away in the upper part of the city, windows were shattered, out-houses blown down, and the boats at the wharf jostled by the wind. Some sheds in Hare's stable yard, Liberty street were overthrown. The cornice was torn from the top of J. & H. Phillips' warehouse, St. Clair street, and fell in the street, but fortunately no one was injured. A portion of the roofing of the Rail road bridge over the Allegheny was torn off and also a portion of that upon the Birmingham bridge. Fortunately the "blow" did not last more than fifteen minutes and so far as we can learn there was no great destruction of property and no loss of life—at least not in this vicinity. The storm may have been more disastrous elsewhere, —Since writing the above we have heard of the prostration of a telegraph pole on Liberty street, some damage at Carroll & Snyder 's engine shop, Short street, the blowing off of part of the roof at Knap, Rudd & Co's Fort Pitt Works and the raising up of a section or two of roofing on the Hand street bridge.

The Court held this unnecessary, as Mr. Knox had giveu the security prayed for. Where is the Specie? We observe by the published statements that our banks now have 55,0,000 less specie than a month ago. As they are not redeeming their notes in coin they can have but little demand for gold and silver and the' question naturally arises : what have they done with Has it been sold at a high premium? Car Upset--Mille Killed. About noon yesterday as a train of cars laden with stock was passing up Liberty street on the Pennsylvania Railroad, one of them, filled with mules upset in turning a curve at the canal bridge and fell on its silo. The car was not injured, but some of the poor animals inside were badly bruised, and on 9 was killed almost in , stantly, his neck being broken by the con cussion. The mules were extricated from their uncomfortable position with little difficulty. Considerate.

It says our army gained some ad vantage in the battle yesterday, but not without terrible carnage. The lose on both aides can only be de scribed as absolutely tremendous. General Negley fought his division all day yesterday, splendidly, and boat very heavily in men, but saved his artillery. Gen. Rosseaa immortalized himself long before he fell, severely wounded. Eels set down as one of the greatest heroes of the battle. The enemy were heavily reinforced from some direction last night. General McCook had his horse blown to atoms by a shell, yesterday afternoon, and, although severely bruised, soon re mounted and rode to the front of his gal lent division.

All the houses in hturfreesbonro and the neighboring villages are occupied as hospitals. Every effort is being made to make the sufferers comfortable.
