OCT- 7, 1857 PAPER OP ME News of the City and Neighborhood Tag GYMNASIOK.—We have seen from time to time notices in OUT own and other city pa peri, of the meetings of "The Pittsburgh Poly technic Atuosciation" and have silently wondered what it could be for and what were its specific objects. On a further and a more careful in quiry wtinow learn that it is an association for gymmustio exercises, one of the noblest institu tions Abet can be established in any city, if rightly conducted. We trust sincerely that it will des . dissociated from any "bars,' cacept hero:oMM bars for developing the muscles: that itsprimary object may not for a moment be lost sight of in appliances for unnerving the arm and inflaming the stomach and beclouding the Intalleetl think of how much advantage a properly conducted gymnasium will be in this city where 'scores of young men and middle aged men spend the greater part of their lives at the desk ;Intl In sedentary occupations, leav ing their arMs to become thin and soft as a child's, their chests-to-narrow down,upon their lungs, and the powers of locomotion less is be depended upon than those of a good English girl of 18, who can walk her eight miles before dinner, and feel never the worse but vastly tho better for it. Englishmen are noted ahe world over for their burly bodice, as much so as Ame- rictus for the opposite, and, aside from the of fecta of climate, which have a great deal to do with the case on both sides, very much of this difference is due to our different habits of life with respect to active physical exercise. Manly sports, such sa cricket, running feats, the chase. riding on horseback, walking as Charles Lamb and his poor sister used to do, 16 and IS miles a day;develope all their physical powers, give them breadth of chest and depth of wind which can be obtained in no other way. The very net of walking,in itself is a beautifnl motion of the body whenall the powers necessary to thst use ful performance are brought into play. With out any smirk of self-conceit the eyes may be carried so that on looking straight forward they would sight a horozontal line; carry the chest prominent and set the foot firmly forward in nearly a right litre—but this aside. We hope the gymnasium (for that is our favorite name) will call out all one men of sedentary habits to Stretch themselves and give breadth to their chests and send• the blood with new vigor through-their torpid lungs, and set their livers into normal action. MI our ,plergymen will strengthen their thews, and their theology at the sumo time by a dozen Len-feet leaps and a couple of summersaults six days in the week; our lawyers will find boxing and Blackstone perfectly harmonious, and knights of the quill and slaves of the sanctom• discover now.vigor itLevery vein and a speedy flight of the blues which have too often gathered over ledgers and "leaders" in these days oP darkness. Dive us a good gymnasium. • In ressa days of uncertainly as to money matters, and general want of confidence, the question arises with many what to do with their surplus savings, so that the amount may be available when needed, and, while risk of loss is avoided; the money may be gaining something in the way of interest. Some threw years ago, number of our citizens, actuated by no motives of interest, but a desire to do good by encoural ging the working classes to habits of economy and prudence, procured a charter for an institu tion entitled the "Dollar Savings Institution," which went into operation in July, 1855—since when its . depositors have steadily increased an. 111 more than thirteen hundred have availed - themselves of its offer, and entrusted to it va rious eums, from a single dollar to two thous and. The deposits on the Ist inst. amounted • to more than a hundred and ten thousand 401-• tars—which have been invested in such a way as toenable the institution to pay its deposrtors • six per cent; per annum. The interest is credi fed 'every six monthi, and draws interest from that. period. In olitaining information, during the late exciting tithes, as to the resources of our city institutions, we dropped in at the Dollar Savings, and ascertained from its books that it bad (in - round numbers) sixty' four thousand dollars Invested in first mortgages upon good property, worth nearly double that amount or more—twenty-one thousand in stocks of city bents, and twenty-five thousand in bills of exchange at short dates. By the rules of the institution a depositor must give two weeks notice before drawing out money, if less than two hundred dollars--or four months if over that sum. If it was not for this rule, the trustees could not invest the money so as to secure six per cent. to depositors, as they would be compelled to keep a consider:shit: amount on hand to meet any unexpected " run. •' The- institution, however, in ordinary times, has not adhered strictly to this rule. To those who can Save even a dollar a weer, this institu tion affords= excellent place of deposit—while those who can spare larger amounts from their weekly earnings cannot find a more secure in vestment, where their money will be paying them a good interest, than the Dollar Savings institution at No. 65 Fourth street. We know it is carefully managed, and numbers among its trusteessomeot our best business men. COITIVCOP QUARTZT? SESSIONS. —Before Judges Adams and Parke. Commonwealth vs. W. Watkins.
