OWE MOItE UM'OKTUJSATE.
Some days since Declective Soth Wllmot
of the Mayor's police, was engaged to inves'
tlgate the case of a young girl who bad
rather mysteriously disappeared from a
Boarding School in Beaver county, 'where
her guardian, Mr. Dunn, of this city, bad
placed her. It seem that the girl, a very
pretty miss of some seventeen summers,
wboie parents died between three and four
years ago, was left under the guardianship
of Mr. Dunn, by whom she was soon after
placed in a boarding school at Beaver, Pa
She had some moDoy bequeathed ber, and
her guardian proposed to give lier a good
education. She remained at the school up
to within a fortnight, wben she disappear
ed, aud as Mr. Dunn wat informed la com
pany with a merchant of this city. Shewns
traced to Philadelphia aod then back to
Pittsburgh, and subsequently to Parker's
Landing. '
Detective Wilmot, was, as stated above,
instructed with the case and on yesterday
visited Parker's Landing, where be fouad
Mr. Dunn't wtrd. She was quartered in a
house of questionable repute and accompan
ied the oflicer without the slightest opposi
tion. On the way the city she stated that
the went from the Aoademy to Philadelphia
and gave to the office: the name of the mer
chant of this oity who accompanied her.
Wben she came back to the city she fell in
with a girl, of the name of Pitcairn and
agreed to accompany ber to Parker's Land
ing, there to begin a life of shame snd deg
radation. From her own admission ber
purpose appears to have been fully accom
plished. Soon after reaching the city the detective
sent word to Mr. Dunn, and an interview
was immedialely held, the result reached
the determination on the part oi the guar
dian to send ber the House of Refuge. The
girl is preposesingly ban'dBome, remarkably
Intelligent and stead ily.resists all attempt8
to induce ber to return to path of rectitude.
She is worse than ruined aod no better dis
position of her case, can, we think, be
made, than by commuting her to the House
of Refuge.
In connection with the downfall oftbi
unfortunate young girl, it is reported that
the visit of the merchant referred to from
Philadelphia, in ber company, has been or
la to be made the grouod work of a petition
for divorce on the part of the wile of the
merchant. Pittsburgh Mall, Thursday,
- Lord's Boiler Compound. By refer
ence to the advertisement published else
where, It will be seen that our townsman,
Mr. A. J. Hawley, has secured the agency
for the oil region of Lord's Boiler Com
Dound for the Removal aod Prevention of
Scale in Steam Boilers This powder will
remove any scale, no matter bow thick or
hard It may be, and keep the Iron In a good
condition lor ages. As an evidence of the
excellence of this compound, we have been
shown by Mr. Hawley a piece of scale tak
en lrom the boiler flues at the Button well,
Central ftrm. The scale or sediment' ex
tended from the Crown sheet back Into the
flues nearly four feet, filling them complete
ly up, and was to bard that wben the boiler
bead was taken off, a mallet and chisel bad
to be used to break it up and olean the flues
out. The great mystery it that the boiler
bad not exploded loog ago. By the uce o
a small quantity of this powder a few times
the scale is entirely dissolved and passes;
out wben the boiler is blown off. We would
advise oil operators to oall on Mr. Hawley,
at the Cold Water office, Wild Cat Hollow,
and examine this new compound, and read
the testimonials In regard to it.

Letter From PI timer.
Plumer, Pa., July 12th 1872.
Editor Record: Plumer bus oot been
as lively since the downfall in 'Cfl as ft wu8
last evening. It seemed as though all its
old reeiidents had returned to participate in
the event of which we propose to furnish
you the particulars. The Post Office was
thronged at an early hour yesterday even
ing, all anxiously awaiting the arrival of
the mail from your placo. Such expressions
as the following , were used: "That Malj
Carrier is awful; slow this evening," yes,
said another, "just because wo wanted blm
to hurry be lags .behind." This was fully
an hour before the usual time for his ar
rival. What meant tbia throng, thlt fever
heat of excitement, you inquire? We an
swer, every one was anxious to bear the pro
ceedings of the Baltimore Convention. Upon
the arrival of the mail the boy was sur
rounded and Innumerable questions put to
him. When bo told (hat Greeley and
BrownTeceived the nomination, cheer after
cheer rent tht, air, and Johu . Irwin an old
and time honored Bourbon, proceoded at
once to his Blacksmith shop and got his
anvil battery Id readiness for the evening'
George S. Duncan, another Bourbon, told
every Democrat who was for Greeley to be
at the Plumer House promptly at T o'clock,
Loog before the appointed hour everybody
and their friends were there. Mr. W. Al
deu was unanimously elected President.
Vice Presdents George Romer, Frank
J Campbell, William McKlssick, all Demos
crats but strong for Greeley. After thank
ing the assembly fort he kiudness conferred
upon him, Mr. Aldan fddressrd the people
at tome length strongly in favor of Greeley.
Musio wat discoursed by the Plumer String
Band, composed of G. S. Duncan, O. G.
W. Smith and L. L. Culbertson. Speeches
were also made by Mr. O'Neal, Mr. Weber,
Mr. N. Campbell and W. McKlssick, all
good, sound and right to the point speeches.
The whole was a grand affair. Irvine's bat
tery kept up au incessant, booming until
midnight. Romer was so overjoyed that he
made a grand pyrotechoical display of the
fireworks be bad left from the 4th. All are
in favor of Greeley here, and In conclusion
we can assure you that the people will turn
out en marge for him in November next.
