is new and stylish in the Way of 'general
housekeeping goods, such as table cloths,
.napkins,,table and.. piano, covers, diapera,
toweling's: embroideries,- white goods, and
everything peculiar to this line of goods.
A marked decline in prices will be more
strikingly- observed,..perhaps, in this 'de
partment than in any other throughout the
house, as the value of such ordinary house

especially those engaged in housekeeping.
A special department is deveoted to inourn

CLOAK'S AND SHAWLS,
We have referred to the elegant apart
ment set aside for the disphiy. of the latest
styles of cloaks and shawls, but made no
mention of the remarkably fine display of
goods made therein. Cloaks in this branch
of the business,.-like those .in _the, proverb,
cover many other. things, " rather include
All the fashionable walking jackets, saeques,
baSques, and coats which are worn by the
fair sex. We were hardly prepared to find,
here inFittsburgh; such a grand display of
'articles in this line: Their stock, as it will
appear at the opening to-morrow, would do
credit to a Parisian establishment._ It will
not be hard to: discover what 'styles are go
ing to'predorairisger - this Spring and 'Sum
mer, if it be true-,that Fashion loves the
beantiful. We have our own judgment on
theirelative merits of the pretty coats and
'Vieques •examined, but we will not tres
pass on our lady friends' cariosity by
proclaiming our verdict; for they must see
.for themselves. The Vivandierc, a perfect
beauty, , made, , of heavy corded silk, trim
med with lace_ and satin ribbon, is very
charming, and will - fill' the eyes of the n
yonng ladies with delight. The Daughter'
of'the Regiment; ai very .:elegant walking
I coat with decided Military appearance, is
very neat and becoming. The Jessie, a
rwalking : jacket , ,,is charming, while.a fluted
_blolise for al. rriarrieiklady, s the prettiest
article of female apparel we i
Piave ever no
ticed. It is of heavy black silk material,
exqriisitely trimmed with rich satin and
lace. It is a triumph of French taste, and
while exceedingly dressy and gay . , is still
Modest in its own , richneSS. A silk cloak
with vandyke trimmings will command At
tention. It is plain and neat, and on a
sprightly per Son would not be -without
charming effect. There are a great many
other styles which are equally worthy of
mention ' but we have not the space at our
disposal to do so. There are a great variety
of. styles ln 'light_ colored cloth sseques,-
I cloaks, coats and jackets, Variously - orna
mented with embroidery, satin and inlaid
work, which are a vast unprovrmentin the
styles which prevailed last season. Of
course the prices in this department take a
wide range, but purchasers may depend on
getting the full worth of their money in
'whatever they may select. The firm make
a le. ing specialty in this, line of goods,
largeand have a stock of material for selec
tion by those who prefer having custom
Made Wbrk.: Employing . skillful' seam
stresses;.and fashionable cutters of long ex
perience,.the original home-made work of
t is firm bears , unmistakable Marks of su
periority, bOth is design and neatnessi- and
rivals the finest imported Parisian articles
which are found in such profusion in this
department. They manufacture to order
opera cloaks of any descriPtion desired, on
short notice, and will hereafter prove a
favorite feature to the ladies, as the firm
purpose devoting careful attention to this
specialty - .
The display of light and handsome Spring
Shawls:is simply grand, and we only mar
vel how selection can be made where so
many - „sparkling beauties,anst_such end
leSs- variety - kre afforded.-. -- -It is needless'
to mention the various names used in
desipating the scores of different patterns;
but it is enough to say that never before. in
this city hastlicire been opened -a more com
plete lot of goods in this line, nor any so
brilliant and pretty. The famous cashmire
shawl, rail:the - , raw_ in.LlCew York, Boston
andThibidelPhiavtaliblonable circles, is
represented in the assortmentpand from its
chaste beauty and richness deserves the
favor-it has found wherever introduced.

caused by carelessness in this matter occur

almost daily, and railroad companies have
taken every precaution to' prevent persons
from endangering their lives in this way,
but to no effect. Yesterday, about eleven

got aboard the Cincinnati Express, at the

the outer depot, thinking it was the Walls

An Explanation
The Case of Allegheny County for use
vs. W. A. Herron, late Clerk of the Quar-:
ter .Sessions, the decision of which we ,
noted yesterday, we should , have stated
arose from a difference of opinion,,or judg
meld, as to the law, between I‘ll. - Herron
and the' County ControLer, concerning the
appropriation of certain fees accruing from
liquor lieenses. The , fees in dispute were
paid to the County Auditors, during the
existence of that Board, to defray expenses
in the way of stationery, .Cc., anB Mr. Her
ron holds the receipts of the Auditors for
amounts paid them. When that Board wits
abolished, and the Associate. Judges of the
Quarter Sessions made the Board of Li
cense, by order of those Judges Mr. H. re
tained one-half the fees, for expenses for
stationery. &c., paying the remainder to
the Judges, for. which he .holds their re
' ceipts. Under the decision of the Court.
as we announced yeSterday, Mr: H. is held
, responsible 'for the whole amount, - inde
pendent of his vouchers from the Auditors

The Leaves of the Tree Were for the Heal
ing of the Nations.
- qtblished the celebrated medi
,
We have p,th
cai advertisement of. Dr. H. T:-Helmbold.
Previous to doing
. so, we have received a ,
moderate reward in ' th%usnal way , of pay-
Inuit, which we apply to all the wares,
wants and business cards we present to our
readers., It is our custom to examine every-
thing thoroughly which we offer through
our columns, and to refuse all, that we can
not Commend.- Now, as our readers know
we never do anything by halves, they can
readily infer that when a so-called medical
advertisement occupies a whole page in the
Church. Union, we mean something by it. It
is not our purpose to dodge or tergiversate,.
or wink at any such thing. We have no
managing agent who smuggles into one
column what is boldly condemned in an
other. The Gettysburg Asylum - swindle
came to Us; we judged not by feeble sehse,
popular distator, nor by Congressional ac
' tion, but we , examine for ourselves, and no
money in the-world could buy one inch of
the Church .Union.- to commend.it. Precise
ly . the same course we pursued to
wards llelmbold's - Buchu. We had seen
it everywhere ; it haunted our vision' on
rock, mountain, and curbstone; in the cars,
on steamboats, and by the wayside, we saw
this omnipresent specific -advertised: We
never gave it a thought—never condemned
it, never commended it; did not rush in
the face of prejudices, and cry .out quack!
quack! We knew nothing of it; had other,
and,: we thought; more important subjects
for contemplation, than this wonderful
medicine. So • when -it came up for our
cOnsideration, we determined to investigate
for ourselves. As we do in theology; so do
we in medicine—never ask, ,_"Wliat does
Dr. so and so think, or say,
or surmise?"
If it is wrong, all the world may espouse,
yet let-our right hand forget its cunning,
and our tongue cleave to the roof of our
mouth, if we waver one atom in our devo
tion. If it be right, not even the • fact that
a host commend, and a ,fortune is - being
Made out 'of it, shall keep us from' fidelity
to it. For there be many men so mean in
this world that they will never .advocate a
good thing if,anybody gets a good living by
it. We k.how of ...men who -won't hear'
Henry Ward Beecher preach, because he
lives in a brown-stone -front, and manages
to keep the wolf, from the door quite easily.
Juste so with Dr. Hebraic:ld . ' • because
he is _making a fortune by his enter
prise, *e cannot -bend ourselves to - the
mean talk of condemnation and wholesale
slander., There is something about the man
you like at once. He isno quack. A. quack
is an empiricist, who tampers with disease,
by applying,. remedies he knows nothing
about. Dr. Helmbold is an educate& man;
he is frank in every respect; readily lays
before you the ingredients or vegetable com
pounds of his Medicine. The very. process,
of distillation are perfectlypatent; there is
no diabolical decoction - or compounding of
elements that are vile and of course, secret.
Everything is open and above board; what
he does he knows; yOU cannot be in his es.:
tablishment three minutes without seeing
that he is a man who - knows what he is -,
about. All the world may know that the
medicine hd sells so largely. all over the
world, is the, very. best diuretic
_known. It
1-is in strict acionlance With the test at the
i head of .thia article. It is but. the .leaf of. a
shrub Or tree, gathered by theyild Mitten
tots, and has been - known for many years.
1 Many others have used, and hear ample tes
timony to its usefuimess. We - dare any Un
prejudiced physician to -test its virtues and
not yield to its superior merit.. There are oth-*
er ingredients, as his advertisexnent.shows.
And now having a good thing, devoted to it
with an enthusiasm which bespeaks hones
ty at once, what can we sayi what need we
say? The diseases treated are, some of
them, pecidiar and - fearful; but did our
Saviour shrink from' the- loathsome leper,
because the world did? The. buchu is a
specific remedy,. and ought to go over all
this world, if it is what any scientific man
can prove it, to be.' Believing it to be a
blessing w -have allowed it place, and
shall do It again, and for any and every
good thing. , As a toad or a- viper, would
we shrink from error or evil, whether of
Church or State; but every good thing we
advocate. Let the insane man who cries
out quack at everything medicinal,j pause,
reflect and Comet() his senses. Quackery is
empirical, but such is - not the buchu; nor of:
such is the enterprising and enthusic_Stie
man who is bound to succeed, because he
wieldi right. Success 'to the buchy.
Let the leaves of the tree be for the healing
of the nations.

A Dangerous Disorder.
• I
It is very common, too; over one-third of I
the people of this . city have a habit of hawk.,
ing and .spitting, nostrils 'dry and inflamed,
matter running froni the head down the
throat, dullness and dizziness of the head,
memory impaired, loss of smell, ringing or
deafness of,the ears, sore throat, catch cold
easily in,the head, pain or soreness 'in the,
left. chest, side, or under the shoulder
blades. Such persOns have Catarrh most
decidedly. Some have all-these symptoms
others only a few. Not two physicians in
one hundred detect this disease or know it.l
when present; few are:bold enough to as- I
sert that they can cure it. It is an ulcera
tion of the lead, and the festering matter
runs_ down the throat into the stomach,
eauses indigestion, liver complaint, and
ends in consumption: AIX lung complaints
commence with Catarrh; bronchitis is
caused only by Catarrh. Medicines taken
in the stomach can never cure it. But it is
fully cured by Dr. Wolcott's Instant Pain
Annihilator, a liquid that cleanses the head
of the filthy matter that drops in the throat'
and mouth from the ulcer in the head, and'
heals it up permanently. This standard
remedy has signatures °foyer one thousand •
prominent physicians in its favor; over one
hundred thousand bottles are Sold each,
month. The pain 'in. chest, side, or any
other
_pain, is instantly relieved by painting
with Dr. Woleott's famous remedy, PAM
PAINT. If you don't• believe it come to 170
Chatham Square. New York, and 622 Arch
street, Philadelphia, in the Drug Store, and
try it free of cost. Both of these remedies
are sold,at all drug stores, in _white wrap
pers only. Buy none in brown wrappers.
