BOCAL MATTERS.
. Report of tbe Board oryiiJtori of the
Pittsburghlnfirmary.
By : the Act of, Assembly incorporating the Pitts*
u horgh Infinnnry,,the aDdcrBlgned. , were conßUtuted
‘a "Board V Visitori,” and charged with the duty of
meeting knbuklly, on the second Monday orJanuary,
to examine and report publication, the condition
and management of the institution.'
In obedience to this injunction of the Legislative
authority* the undersigned met at the.lnfirmary
baildlnge t on the second Monday of the present
month, and. organized by the election of Thob. M.
; Hows, as President of the Board, And the appoint
ment of C» Zoo as Secretary.
,The Director of Uie Infirmary, the Rev. W. A.
Paboavabt, submitted a Report of tbo condition of
* /the instUation,’ which wad ordered to be published,
i For this most interereqjipg chapter upon, the tncep
‘ tion, progress,"and future prospects for usefulness of
this infant institution, as well as for the interesting
report of the attending. Physicians, the Board of
. Visitors jyould bespeak the earnest consideration of
. - {bedfellow citizens. A statement ofthe receipts and
, expenditures was also submitted* and having been
carefully examined by a committee ol the Board, and
foondto.be correct, was likewise ordered to be
.published. ,
;..\Thc buildings and all the departments and wards
were thoroughly i nspected by the several
membere'oFthe Board, and found to be id excellent
« condition. The cleanliness, order and decorum
which pervaded ib.e entire establishment, and the
administration of its affairs, was equally a matter of
surprise and. gratulation. From the. untiring zeal
.. ofthe;worthy Director, we had been led to expect
.much, butour expectations were more than realized.
lusteacfof a Hospital where medicines were doled
out, andthe common dictates of humanity heeded as
a. matter of duty, we found an; asylum for the sick
and the disabled, and a home for the invalid stran
ger,when the kindliest sympathies of our nature
were clustered, as around the domestic hearth.
The plan upon which this institution is organized
and conducted, for the detail of which we refer to
the accompanying report ofthe Director, commends
It mQjt ftrongly to the liberal patronage of a chris.
tiau public. Tie internal economy and particularly
- the care ofthe sick is entrusted to females previously
qualified by a coarse of education and training for
tbitcspecial object. Here then is no distinction of
creed, or color* or country. The pennyless stran
ger receives as cordial a welcome, and his wants are
, as carefully provided for as the possessor of thou
sands. There are no rules which exclude from Mf*
sanctuary the unfortunate victim of the most peati
leDtial disease—while the doors of other institutions
• ; are closed againsthiai at the time of his extremest
need, here he gains ready admittance and the tea-
detest care. In the self devoted nurses of the insti
' tution, be finds u substitute for mother and sisters.
It is indeed a noble charity, and as such deserves to
be most abundantly cherished aud sustained.
- No adequate provision of a permanent character
bos yet been .made (or its support. From the voloo*
tary offerings of our benevolent citizens the means
have hitherto been provided for.defraying its current
expenses; and from the same source has also been
received the necessary funds for. meeting the sever*
nt instalments as they have become due upon tho
purchase ofthe Infirmary buildings. Other pay*
menUhaveyet to-be made, amounting in the whole
-to $3,000 ; of this sum $lOOO falls due on the first
of April next. Tho Treasury is empty, and the Di-
rector, »u addition to all his other self sacrificing ef.
forts to carry successfully forward this noble enter
prise, is now, as he has repeatedly been before, in
advance of money from his own slender revenue, to
boy bread and other necessaries for the dependent
inmates ofthe institution. A small sum contributed
annually, at staled periods, by ono or two hundred
of oar fellow-citizens, would contribute greatly to*
Wards relieving the Director from many and perplex,
log difficulties which he has hitherto been obliged
to encounter; and to this end a committee has been
appointed, whose appeal we hope and believe will
be most cheerfully responded to.
And may we not also‘indulge the hope that not a
few of our wealthy citizens, who owe much to the
bounty of a kind Providence, will regard this insti
tution with especial favor; and when they shall
have gained the common heritage of all, will have
led behind them some memorial that the “Pitts*
straoH Ir7FianAßV” had not been forgotten.

Pihe.—The extensive. Foundry establishment of
Messrs. Knap & Co., in the Fifth Ward, injmedis
Mely. above the Water Works, was only, partially
. consumed on Wednesday night. We are happy in
being able to state that the most valuable part of it
escaped injary, making (ho loss much less than it
was at first feared. The. fire originated in on© of the
frame buildings of the establishment, on the bank of
the Allegheny river. The insurance on the property
destroyed is as follows:
Foundry building 34000
Tools therein, and flasks 1000
Frame building 600
• . 55600
The parts of the establishment hot injured are in*
Cured as follows:
Machine 5h0p...................55000
-- Toole, &c., therein,.............. 600 C
Steam engine. ... 800
Blacksmiths* tools .600
Boring mill and machinery........ 7000
Patterns,&c., stored therein.....’.. 1500
—520,900
The amount of loss will probably reach to $7OOO
pr $BOOO, of which from $6OOO to 36000 is insured.
The policies arc from the offices of the Delaware
and Franklin of Philadelphia, and the Western of
.Pittsburgh, in equal risks by each.

It appears from this statement, that the largest
exports were made to New Orleans, and that Balli
more stands next. The letter adds:—
The weather having been very favorable the past
three months, the arrivals of Coffeo from tho interi
or have been more abundant than expected, so that
the export for the year 1860 will be about 1,300,000
against 1,416,000 in 1849, 1,688,000 in 1848, and
1,627,000 in 1847. From present appearances
supplies from the interior will bo abaadani till Feb
ruary, when they will fall off, and that the crop of
1850 will turn out a good average, say 1,500,0000
1,600,000 bags. It is too early to form a correct
opinion of the coming crop, bot the reports during
the flowering season have not been favorable.

Philosophy of BrandreWs Vegetable
WHEN the theory of the circulation of the blood
was established, the secret springs of. vitality .
were then partially exposed to our view ." -We sUw and—-
understood that tlie food we eat, was converted iqto
blood, which repaired the waste of the animal machine:
tbc food is fuel, which keeps at a life heat thaintemai
fires that warm and invigorate oar innerman; The ,
blood is an electric fioid which carries this heal to every
ramification of the body, even to the extremities of the .
hair and homy nail; While the blood is thus the seat of
life, it is also the seat of disease. Food gives the body
strength; BrandrethVpilU give. blood the necessary
power to throw out from itself all impurities, thus ren
dering the stream of life pure and healthy. If men were
more sincere, there would be fewer religious creeds;
andif they keptclosetonature’slawaia the management
of their bodies, they would require little medicine. As
men grow iutelilligent they wul become wiser and hap
pier; cvennow, their wisdoraisproved by thefact that,
•when sickness assails them, they use Brancireth’a Vege
table Univerai Pills, which soon restore thienito health.
Theyare peculiarly adapted to the climate, nnd require
noextra care when theyare used, in either diet or cloth
ing. They should be always in the house, to that upon
the first indication of sickness they may be used. One
dose in the beginning is more potent mr good,-than a
dozen after the sickness is fixed m the system. In colds,
coughs, asthma, rheumatism , costiveness, fevers, and in
all acute, heavy or deep-seated pains, their effects wDI
be found beyond all praise. Three or five will act like
a charm, often curing a dangerous malady at once, sa
ving months of sickness and the evils thereunto attend
ing. Remember, Brandreih’s Pills are a known and
fully tested medicine, one that is used by hundreds of
thousands in this country .and throughout the civilized
world. They are'quietly superseding all other medi
cines. They take out only that from tfie blood which is
the cause of weakness and pain, leaving strength and
health ; they produce healthy sleep at night, and an ap
petite that relishes all kinds of food.
