Sad Incident to a Sleigh Ride,—lt
again becomes our duty to place on record
an occurrence which will probably result in
the death of a young man and the arrest of
another on the charge of murder. Monday
afternoon James 8. Stewart, of the coal firm
of Dickson, Stewart & Co., Lloyd Jamison
and Wm. Dodds, left the city in a sleigh,
and proceeded’ont the Greensburg turnpike
to the tavern of George Weiss, three miles
beyond Turtle Creek, where they stopped,
and whilst warming and refreshing them
selves, James Gwin, a resident in the neigh
borhood, came in and accused Dodds of
having, some time previous, stolen a dog
from him. Dodds, who also lives in the vi
cinity, denied the accusation, and an alterca
tion ensued. Gwin ran out of the tavern
and across the road to a blacksmith shop
where he procured a coal digger's pick (a
new one),with’which he returned, Meetine
Dodds at the door of the tavern, he struok
him with the piok in the left side, the point
penetrating through to the back. Gwin
then fled, and Dodds,, bleeding profusely
was taken into the tavern. The neighbor
hood physician was called in, and Mr. Dick
son, of this city, sent for. At the latest ac
counts last evening Dodds was sinking
rapidly, and his death expected. His occu
pation was that of hauling coal by contract
and his character in the vicinity that of a
peaceable, quiet young, man. Gwin for
merly resided at Mount Pleasant; West
moreland county. The police are after him,
and it is hoped they will succeed in appre
hending him.— Pittsburgh Gazette.
Ladies’ Dresses and their Cost. A
lady correspondent, of a San Francisco pa
per writes; “ One lady of mv acquaintance,
of refined and cultivated tastes, and noted
for her tasteful wardrobe for home as well
street costumes, expends qpon it $lO per
month. Of course, her own graceful handi
work is apparent in a large proportion of
her apparel. Another, less 'circumscribed,
dresses very handsomely on $l5 per month;
and still another, whose genteel outfit at
tracts many an observant eye upon Mont
gomery street, succeeds in keeping her ex
penditures within s3oper month. These are
not suppositional cases, nor isolated ones;
theirname is ‘legion,’ ’-’ Commenting upon
this item, the editor remarks: “ Wesuggest
to the ladies in question that they can make
a good thing of it, by opening a
school in this eity for the purpose of teaohing
women how to- drSst| with taste and econo
my, If they can teach women how to get
themselves up in good shape at an lexpease
of from $l2O to $240 per annum, wq venture
to say they can realize more than the teachers
of any other art in existence.”
An Incident op the Election. The
Newburyport Herald says one the intelli
gent and independent voters, on Monday
last, with a brick in his hat, was given a
dollar to vote a certain ticket. He reached
the ballot-box safely, but was a little con
fused in mind, and through his. watering
eyes all thiDgs appeared dim, like the fag
end of dissolving views, when with a sud
den jerk he thrust the greenback into the
bollor-box and put the ballot in his pocket
ands arted for home. Some of the boys
tried to tell him that it was not a religious
meeting, and the box where he had depo
sited hfc money, wasnotacontribution box;
