LEAP YEAR. —lf the ladies do not avail themselves of the privileges of this bissea• tile or leap-year, it is their own fault or their misfortune. During "leap year" they have a right to make advances toward their favorite, and if he'proves °incise, to sharpen his perceptions of the felicity of the connubial state. They have a right to suggest that there was but one Roman General, whose name might constantly be upon their tongue's end during "leap year," and that was Marine—Marry-us' They have a clear, undisputed right to insinuate that he is no hero who is afraid to take to "arms," particularly when those arms are nice delicate, white, plump ones, and look much better around a gentleman's neck than any other species of "comfort er." Yea, leap-year is with you, dear ladies, and it should teach yon something, Has he not grown fonder, or is he still cold as an icicls? Has he not evinced a disposition to introduce the momentous question? If not, encourage him. Make all due allowance for his timidity; for, really, men are more afraid of women than women are of men. Smile on him! Whisper low! Take him out sleigh-riding! invite him to oyster suppers, and be sure to pay the expense! Give him confidence; then answer him when he murmurs his prayer in your ear, like a kind and sen sible creature, "Yes!" Be sure that you do this while the year lasts, for it will pass quickly away. DISTRESSING OCCIIRRENCE.-4 Man Drowned.—An occurrence took place near Manchester on Thursday evening about nine o'clock, which' resulted in the death, by drowning, of Mr. James Ross, son of J. R. Boss, esq., former Recorder for Allegheny county. It appears that young Ross had been engaged as engineer on a ferryboat engaged in carrying coal from Manchester to Smoky Island, and that after supper on Thursday evening he went on board the boat to make some repairs about the engine. Alter he had Zone so, he told the watchman he was going home, and taking up his lantern, started. Unfortunately, however, instead of stepping off the boat on the share side, he, through some strange fatality, walked into the river on the outer side, and be tore assistance cculd reach him, was drowned. His body was not recovered until yesterday morning. He was a most estimable young man, and leaves a newly wedded wife to mourn his loss. In their bereavement his family and friends have the sympaly of all who knew them. EASTERN AND WESTERN PAPERB.-Pit took keeps all the latest Eaatern and westeruppere_and magazines. He im ago received a supply of the Tribune Al manac. Call on htm, opposite the Post office. Annie Hunter, a young girl, who had seen some eighteen summers, committed suicide on Thursday evening about half past 8 o'clock, on the premises of Mr. Miller, on Mulberry Alley, in. the Fifth ward. It seems that Miss Hunter arrived in this city on the evening before Christ mas, from Donegal, Ireland, and the text day procured a situation in a hotel, where she remained till New Year's, and was taken sick. Mr. Miller, who knew her parents in Ireland, had her conveyed to his house, where she received medical treatment and kind attention duringher illness. On Thursday she bad so far re• covered as to be able to join the family in their evening meal. Shortly after supper she went into the backyard, and staying an unusual length of time, Mrs. Miller went in search of her, and found her ly ing on the ground with her throat cut, and in a dying condition. No cause can be assigned for the rash act other than mel ancholy superinduced by illness in a land of strangers, as she was heard to say on Thursday : ttlf I was only at home with mother, I would never leave her again." Coroner McClung held an inquest yester day and the jury rendered a vette ittt of self destruction, - CONCERT HAI.I. — RUDOSey'S Minstrels will perform in Concert Hall four nights next week, commencing on Tuesdayeven ing, the Hall being pre engaged preclud ing them from remaining longer. Speak ing of this troupe the Cleveland Herald says "When we think of the unapproach• able handling of the banjo by Rnmsey, the sweet cadences of Stratton and Stout, the new and original jokes of Pierce and Manning, the Ne plus ultra rendition of the Treble Clog Dance by West, Wal• tere and Clifford, we must confess that the common vernacular fails us, and with commingled despair of language and true appreciation cf the decided merit of the troupe, we can only recommend our citi zens to go and hear them! The perform lances are characterized by an entire ab sence of anything that would offend the ear of the most fastidious; and to those who desire to spend an evening where Momus reigns supreme, and the gods of innocent and health giving pleasures hold sweet concert—we say to all such go to Rumsey's at Concert Hall, and go early.

Besides its central looati.n, it is fitted up in a style inferior to no other similar store in the city, and upon entering it one can not help out feel a kind of impulse to pur• chase which an illy arrat-god, unsightly appearance would not inspire. Aside from this, McClarran keeps none but the purest drugs and medicines, and having had a tinge experience in the business, and giving his personal attention to it, the public may rely upon the utmost ac curacy in the tilling of prescriptions or orders. His stock of perfumery, and, in• deed, everything which pertains to a lady's toilet, is, perhaps, the finest in the city. Gentlemen, too, c•an be suited with many articles adapted to their uses. Drop in. and you will de cor.vlor,d of the troth of all we have said. ISTREiSI NU A FF.II a. — The Tyrone Herald relates a sad„affair which occurred in Tyrone city on the -7th ult. On that day Mrs. Nancy 1,. Worley was returning from her father's with her two children the younger of whom aged three years was sick. On the way home the child said— "Mother, lis sleep?,.'' And as the mother waelying it down to sleep it expired in her lap. With this tee horse took bright, began to kick, and ran away. la her alarm the mother threw her well child out and the light wagon went over it, but without hurting it much. I nen she threw herself out, with the corpse in her arms. and hurt herself badly by the fall. Her brother was considerably hurt by the kick Mg of the borne. The mother walked home, a full mile, with her dead child in her arms, at the earn e time suffering se verely from her woulatli. This was truly a sad affair. DRY GOODS.-It will bi) seen by adver tisement in another column that White, Orr & Co., 25 Fifth street, are offering their large stock of goods for sale at prices below Eastern figures.

Dahring, the agent of Rumsey's Minstrels. We have always believed that much of the success of travel ing operatic companies depends upon agents properly understanding their du— ties. This being the fact, the Rumseys are peculiarly fortunate in securing the services of Mr. I?urhing. - - DEATH OF STEPHEN C.
