MONDAY MORNING:
£ t&TOV&TB FOE SALE AT THIS OFFICE.
. . Ties Metal joe Sue.—Several hundred
pounds of old typo can be had by applyinn at
this office.
—IfhOTESsoB Millab & Bbo.’s Comhbboul Col-
LEaß.—We understand that Profeaaor Millar &
Pro., not at all disheartened by the refusal of
the Court to grant them a oharter for their
Commercial College, are going to make applica
tion again. Coming into the city comparatively
strangers, these gentlemen, although meeting
vrith; ah opposition which they did not ezpeot,
•have persevered in the most indexible manner
'to establish an institution that would be an or
nament—a pride to tho place. How well Ihey
have Buooeedod, the patronage they now meet
. with, abundantly testifies. Their College is
thronged. with moTe pupils than they have ac
commodations to receive; several timcß have
they enlw-god their school rooms to meet the
.-wants of the increasing number of scholars; hut
notwithstanding all this, they are again com
■ polled to extend their space, and we are inform
ed that arrangements will be mado in a short
time by which nearly the whole of tho immense
second.story of Lafayette Baildingß will be
appropriated to tho nse of the Professor's
scholars.
We have alluded many times to tho advantages
offered by this institution to young men desirous
of-becomiog proficients in the art of penman
ship, Or good accountants; but so well assured
are we that our assertions will bo made good,
that we have no hesitation in reiterating them.
The faculty comprises the names of several
gentlemen who have no superiors in the varionß
branches under their instruction.
' The book-keeping department is under the
charge of Mr. 1.1. Hitcheok, a gentleman who
U well known as one of the most accomplished
mathematicians, aooonntants, and book-keepers,
In the country He is the anthor of a work on
book-keeping, which is recognized as standard
authority in almost every Bohool. For a long
time he was principal of the New Orleans Ac
countants’ Institute, and more reoently wbb em
ployed as book-keeper in the large establishment
of G. W. Smith, brewer, in' this city. Ho is
every way qualified as a teaeher, and the most
obtuse Cannot help learning under hie tuition.
Mr. John Fleming, one of our oldest and most
respeoted citizens, and also the author of a su
perior work on book-keeping, whioh is nsed as
the text book of tho institution, delivers lectures
on the soience of accounts weekly. Mr. F. is
eminently qualified for this position, as he has
no equal as a theoretical and practical account
ant.
Application for a Charter. —Thos. Mellon,
Esq., on Saturday, presented in the Court of
Common Pleas, a petition praying for a ohartor
incorporation for the Bast Liberty Literary
vVf fT Boclety. The eocioty is represented to bo in a
. o V-'.rVVv^ y. Bv i tery prosperous condition, and has a Library
worth $l,OOO. The petition will be considered.
Legislators Arrived. —We noticed in town,
Vi,.’v- "• •■ • 1 on Saturday, the Hon. Wm, M. Hoistor, Bpeaker
-v of the Senate, and Hon. George Dareie, who left
V;.’';.-’’A Harrisburg on Friday to spend the legislative
vy : > • vacation in Pittsburgh. Messrs. Guy and Muse
■ also returned to their respective homes by the
I. : Same train, as did also Senator M'Clintock.

the city post.
J. H. Hopkins, E?q., a young and gifted mem
ber of the Pittsburgh Bar, is &Ibo connected with
the College in the capacity of a Lecturer, deliv
ering, at least once a week, an able address on
Commeroial Law, information on wbioh subject
is too mnoh needed by business men. Tho leu
tares are always of an interesting character not
only to the stadent, 4>ut to others, and generally
attract attentive audiences.
.Millar & Bro. are the professors of the Writ
ing Department. It would be superfluous to
speak of the Professor's ability as a teacher of
the art of writing: ho has already made it mani
fest by his success. To those who are desirous
of seeing specimens of his shill, tbo Professor
will take great pleasure in exhibiting the many
beautiful designs which he has executed. Dnlike
many other preceptors, the Professor attends to
every scholar personally, eneonrging the back-,
ward, assisting the apt, and infasing into all a
desire to excel.
With all this admirable combination of talent
we have mentioned, we are not surprised the
College has met with so much encouragement
from our citiiens. Institutions of this charac
ter. are a benefit to a city; there cannot be too
many Of them, and we hope U may continue to
meet with uninterrupted proaperty.
Death or L. T. Covell. —The following re
solutions were passed at the meeting of the Edu
cational Association, on Saturday.
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty Qod to
take from our midst our esteemed friend, L. T.
Corell, late a member of this Association, and
a distinguished teacher of Allegheny oonnty, —
Therefore,
Eaolvcd, That in the death of L. T. Corell,
the friends of education are called to monrn the
loss of an efficient laborer, whose power of body
and . mind were consecrated to the cause, and
Whose mental endowments, ardent zeal, and un
tiring energy of character, were so many pledg
es of still greater usefulness ; and the Associa
tion has to monrn tho loss of one of its earliest
members, whose mild and gentlemanly deport
mebtrSingnlar equanimity of temper and kind
nessaof heart, commended him to the esteem
and regard of his friends and associates in the
profession.
'Rualvcd, That in this afflictive dispensation
we are reminded of the frailty of human life
and the vanity of all earthly hopes; and while
we bow in hnmble submission to His will 11 wbo
doeth all ibiugs well,” —" whoso ways are in the
deep waters,and whose footsteps are not known,”
and whose prerogative it is to bring light out of
darkness, wo rejoice in the assurance that oar
friend has gone from the scene of his labors
here, “ to that rest which remaineth for the peo
ple of God.”
Jlejolvcd, That in this painful affliction, the
family of the deceased are assnred of tho ten
derest sympathy of this Association.
Jtuolvcd, That a copy of these resolutions be
sent to the family of tho deceased, and to the
drily papers for pnblioation.

Terrible Smash-dp on the Habrisbdiu] and
Laeoabter Railroad —Two Men Injured —A
terrible emash-np occurred on Friday, about 9
A. M., on the Harrisburg and Lancaster R. R ,
six miles below Middletown, by which twenty
one freight cars were wrecked and two men se
riously injured. It happened In this way: As
two bright trains were proceeding along in
close proximity, ono of the rails gave way,
either.from frost or sepae defect in the iron, jast
as the locomotive of the first train bad passed
over, which threw all the oars off the track,
and before the second train conld be stopped, it
bad rnn into and completely wrecked twenty
one of them. The two men injured were
breakmen; one hod his leg broken, and the
other hie foot badly maßhed. The trains were
coming west, and were owned, except the loco
motives, by private parties.
Is Tows.—-Messrs. Slaymaker and Linton,
Clerks of the Pennsylvania House of Represen
tative, arrived here on Saturday, and are stop
ping at the City Hotel. We also abserved the
good natured faco of that indefatigable corres
pondent “ Ross,” of the Chronicle, who has
doubtless etoleu away for a few days, from the
unhealthy atmosphere of the capitol, to recruit
his exhausted energies For the sake of the
readers of our contemporary, we hope his ab
sence from the legislative halls may not be pro
longed.
Disorderly Conduct. —Three men, named
John Dunbar, David Craxton and James Welsh,
were brought before Mayor Adams, on Satar
day, on a charge of fighting and behaving in a
disorderly manner in a Lager Beer Hail, on
Ohio street. Welsh was Bent to jail in default
of a fine of $2O. Dunbar was released on pay*
ing ten dollars. Craxton was only fined five
dollars, as be did not appear to bo as culpable as
the others —upon paying which he was allowed
to go.
Man Injured on the Railroad. —On Friday
night, as the express train on the Ohio and
Pennsylvania Railroad was passing New Brigh
ton, a passenger, mistaking that place for Roches
ter, attempted to get off while the train was in
motion; but in so doing was thrown violently to
the ground, and injared very seriously. Ho was
picked up in an insensible condition, and taken
to the Merrick Housb, where be now lies, with
but little hopes of his recovery entertained.
Division of a Township. —A petition was
presented in the Court of Common Pleas, on
Saturday, for a division of Moon township.
The petition is numerously signed by citizens of
that township, and alleges that the distriot is
inconveniently large for.school purposes. They
desire that partin which Shousetown is situated,
should be taken off, and erected into an addi
tional township, to be called Crescent. The pe
tition was laid over for consideration.
Fodjid Deowkbd.—The body of a man ap
parently about twenty-four yeers of age, was
discovered yesterday in the Monong&hela river,
nearly opposite the foot-of Market street. It
was standing in a perfectly ereot position, at the
stern of the steamer Eclipse, the head being the
first part seen, and presented every appearance
of having been in the. water for some months.
Coroner Lowry held an inqaest on the body, but
as there were no papers found, or any informa
tion elioited of who ho was, or how ho came to
his death; the jury Bimply retnrned a verdict of
“found drowned.”

of the Neptnno Engine House, on Seventh

Th* River and Weather.—Lastevenin'f there were only
three feet five inches water, by metal marks—a fall of fonr
inches in tho preceding forty eight hours. Although the
weather has been dellghtfal—the sun melting.away tho
lee along shore and tho snow on the hills—there will hove
to be rain before tho river will be benefited so that the
boats that are already loaded and awaiting aiise, can leave.
On the 2J, navigation was suspended at Louiarille. The
river failing. Five feet in the CanaL
Tse dpw steamer “Alms, 1 ’ Capt. Cochran, was laid up at
Portland, at last accounts, all safe and sound, rumors to the
contrary notwithstanding.

grounded at Marittta Bar. The ice cut a hole In her hull.
Tho “Courier” took eff her load, and towed her Into

On tho 271 h ult. there were two feet seven Inches water
ou Ilarpeth bhcmln; weather very cold. The “ New York,”
Cupt. Gillmore, i* in Cumberland Hirer, with some dozen
other boats, waiting fur water.
The Su Louis Democrat ( f Weiinesdny, Ist Inst., states
that the river rose four inches, but was stilt full of floating
ice from shore to shore. Weather moderating. The
“Crystal Paince” left there on Tuesday—the only boat. A
roport circulated thut there was a gorge below Widow

43" No article of a similar kind, now before the public,
enjoys "a better reputation as a rcatorative aud invigora-
hair tonio. Ita peculiar chemical qualities have a
beneficial effect upon the growth and character of the hair,
giving a &Uky andglossy texture to that which was former
ly of a coarse and dry nature. It has also a tendency to
preserve the youthful color and appearance of the hair,
and destroying or counteracting the effects of age. With
such recommendations in its favor, wu hardly perceive bow
any lady or gentleman should be without so valuable an
adjunct to the toilet. Persons who have used it from the
age of sixty-fouc down, declare it to be tho most perfect ar
ticle to secure the object Intended ever yet produced. Gray
hair, whether produced by the slow progress of time, or by
any of the causes which whiten tho locks prematurely, is
restored to a healthy* lively appearance, and all the diea.
groeable effects of dryness, the accumulation of dandruff
or like impurities, are removed.
From the Editor of the Real Estate Advertiser, 27 School 6t
Boston, March 20, 1854.
Paor. Wood: Dear Sir—Having becomo prematurely
quite gray, I was induced some six weeks siuce, to make
trisl of your Ilair Restorative. I have used less than two
bottles, but the gray hairs have all disappeared; and al
though my hair has not fully attained Its original color,
yet the process ot change is gradually going on, and I have
great hopes that, in a short time, my hair will be as dark
as formerly. I have alsobeen much gratified at the healthy
moisture aud vigor of the.hair, which before was harshand
dry, oßd it has ceased to come out as formerly.
Respectfully Yours, D. O. M. Repp,
Prof. Wood: Dear Sir—My hair commenced fulling off
some three or four j-ears since, and continued to do so until
I became quite bald. I tried all the popular remedies of the
day, but to no effect; at last 1 was induced to use your cel
ebrated Hair Restorative, and am very happy to say It is
doing wonders. I huve now a fine growth of young hair,
and cheerfully recommend Us use to all similarly afflicted.
A. O. Williamson, 133 Second street.
St. Louis, March 7th, 1854.
I have used Prof. 0. J. Wcod’s llair Restorative,and have
admired its wonderful effect. My hair was becoming, as I
thought, prematurely* grey. but bv the use of bis Restora
tive, it has resumed its original color, and, 1 have no doubt,
permanently so. Stdht.t
Ex-Senator, United Btates.
Vincennes, Indiana, June 15tb, 1853.
Prof. 0. J. Wood: Dear fclr—As you are about to manu
facture extensively and vend your recently discovered llair
Restorative, I will statu, for whomsoever it may concern,
that I have UFed it, and known others use it; that I have
for several years been iu tbe habit of Ufing other Hair Re
storatives, and that 1 find yours vastly superior to any other
I know. It entirely cleanses tho head of dandruff, and
with ono month’s proper use will restore any person’s hair
to the original youthful color and texture, giving it a
htfalthy, roft, and glossy appearance, and all this without
dbcoloring tbe hsuds that apply It, or the dress m which
it drops. I would, therefore, recommend its use to every
one desirous of having a fine color and texture to hair.
Respectfully yours, Wilson Kiaa.

EVERY STAGS OF RHEPUATISHf
Whether accompanied by that terrible sensibility of the
parts Affected, common in the inflammatory phase—by the
muscular contractions which so often render the victim of
Chronic Rheumatism a helpless cripple, or by the ever*
changing symptoms which are sometimes the characteristics
of this Protean complaint.
Unlike the “Sangxado” practice of bleeding and purging,
which some sapient medicos consider the legitimate mode of.
treating Rheumatism, these Pills Sustain and cherish the
animal forces, invigorate the constitution, and thus act u
the allies of Nature in her efforts to cast off the ,
Their medical action is direct and specific. It reaches the
matcries moxibi or radix of the disorder,dhrough all the
complications of nerves and fibres in which it is entrenched,
and expels from the blood the febrile principle wbichfeeds,
and spreads, and intensifies, while it spreads the fatal ten*
dencies of the malady.
