into the house we were all fooling to
while T was standing at the door I heard
the report of the pistol; and immediately
after the boy came out and told his father
that Julius had shothim. •
Several other witnesses were called and
examined. The testimony was mainly
corroborative of what we have given, and
all tending to show that the shooting was
purely accidental. s
The 4ury rendered the following verdict:
" William Silberison came to his death in
Duquesne borough, in the count of Alle
gheny, on the 11th day of April, 1868, by
the accidental discharge of a pistol in the
hands of. Julius Kramer, and the jury fur
ther find that no blame can be attached to
the said Julius Kramer."
Attempted Suicide.
James Patton, a tobacco dealer at Schen
ly's station, on_ the .Alleghkiy Valley Rail- ,
road, attempted to commit suicide on Sat
tirday evening by taking arsenic, Patton,
it appears, is addicted to the use of strong
drink, and has for some days past been la
boring under a slight attack of mania pots.
He came to the city on Thursday, since
when he has been stopping with his sister,
Mrs. Miller, who resides on High street.
About seven o'clock on Saturday morning
he called in Clark's drug store, on Fifth
street, and purchased an ounce of arsenic.
Patton then went to Megraw's tobacco store,
on St. Clair street, where he is in the habit
of purchasing goods, and renlained un
til after nine o'clock. He said he ex
pected to meet a man there who was, to pay
him some money.
Shortly after nine o'clock Patton. got a
glass of water and went with it to one of
' the sleeping-rooms of Mr. Alegraw's resi
dence, connected with the store. Mrs. Me
graw having occasion to visit the room soon
afterwards, found Patton stretched upon
the bed, and discovered a paper labeled
"poison," which had contained the arsenic,
upon the floor. Dr. McDonald was called
in, but the imfortunate man refused to take
any. remedies. He finally got up and walk
ed to the residende of his sister. Dr. Kim
ball was summoned and administered such
antidotes'as the patient would consent to .
take. Hopes of his recovery are entertain
ed, in consequence) of the overdose or the
drug taken. If it - ghould not prove fatal,
as it possibly may, he will probably suffer
from the effects of folly as long as he lives.
He has a wife and four children, and is
about forty-five years of age.
The Elevator Again—Another Bone* in
that Locality.
So many robberies halie occurred in the
vicinity of the Grain Elevator that it should
either be declared a nuisance • and torn
down, or such disposition of the police
force made as to prevent these occurrences
hereafter. Why the night-prowlers, thieves,
robbers, head-breakers, and would-be mur
derers select that locality in preference to
all others, as the scene of their iniquities,
we.are unable to see, and why by a judi
cious disposal of the police one of
cannot be kept In that vicinity, we are also
unable to discover. The lowßon `is one of
the most public in the city, not excepting
Fifth street, which may perhaps account
for the number of depredations occurring
there, and for this reason it shotild be the
most carefully guarded by the police. Fri
day night or Saturday morning Henry Lit
tle, who it appears had been indulging
freely in - liquor, was knocked down near
the Elevator and robbed of his pocket book
and all the money it contained, amounting
to thirteen dollars. He had on the evening
previous been in company with Frank
Johnson and Frank Trainer, with: whom he
took several drinks, and they are the.per
sons he alleges who took his money. He
made information before the Mayor charg
ing them with highway roobery. They
were arrested and after a hearing were
committed to jail in default of the required
bail for their appearance at Csatirt. . Out of
the many robberies committed in the vi
cinity of the Elevator, this is the only one,
we believe, in which the perpetrators have
been apprehended. , •
Horse Drowned.
.
A valuable horse belonging to Messrs.
M'Clintock it Co. was CiroWned in the 'Al
legheny river, at the Soot, oii liwin :street,
Saturday evening: Joseph Kelly, who is
ernPloyed bo Messrs. M'Clintock & Co. as

he drove too far into: the water, and. the

could be extricated. Kelly the driver was

YITTSBURGIEt GAZETTE': MTPAY, APRIL 43, 1868.
A large and respectable audience assem
bled, on Friday evening, at the new school
house on Canal street, 4th ward, Allegheny
City; -ter join in its dedication. Quite a
number of prominent gentlemen swelled
the audience, and the hall, which is a spa
dons one, was crowded to its uttc ost ca
pacity. The meeting was called to order
by electing Rev. J. T. Prestlev, D. D., chair
man. The exercises opened with prayer
offered by Rev. (Col.) J. B. Clark, Presi
dent of the Board of . Control of our sister
city. The chairman made some introduc
tory remarks and - introduced Rev. A. M.
Milligan, Pastor of the Reformed Presby
terian Church, 0. S., of Pittsburgh. The
reverend gentleman contrasted different
systems of education, showing that the
power of a nation was owing to the/educa
tion of its citizens. Education, however,
should not merely be physical and, intel
lectual, hut likewise moral and Jeligious.
Physical and intellectual education would
not of itself lead to the grand aim of life,
but in order that men and women be true
and reliable they must receive hark culture
to give a mould to the intellectual training,
turning It in the right direction. I
Rev. W. J. Reed, of the First U. P.
Church of Pittsburgh, was introdueed. He
congratulated the directors on the fine
house they had erected, and very \ humor
ously contrasted it with the , old one. He
then addressed the pupils of the school,
quite a number of whom were present, ad
vising thorn first, to "go ahead, next to be
steadtast, and last to "turn around."
Col. J. B. Clark then addressed the meet
ing. He spoke of the propriety of having
good school houses, and everything neces
sary for the convenience and comfort of the
teachers and-pupils. He was a wise man
who emptied his purse into his mind. Pa,
rents should take a lively interest in_
schools, visit them and see that the chil
dren are well provided for in every respect.
The speaker also thought that young chil
dren should not be retained in school five
or six hours per day, but dismissed as soon
as their lessons were over.
Rev. Mr. Allison, of the Presbyterian
Banner, was then introduced and made
some remarks.
Mr. Jas. M. Cooper next addressed the
meeting. He said itmade him happy to be
allowed to participate in the dedication of
this fine temple of learning. The public
schoolkiWere the nation's safe-guard. No
money was so well expended as that pro
viding for the liberal education of the
future citizens. The public school should
be supported well, good houses, necessary
apparatus, and everything required should
be supplied and the teachers encouraged in
their work.
Mr. J. S. Slagle then Spoke in a highly
complimentary manner of the enterprise
of the Directors who bad erected the house.
The rising generation would revere their
names as sacred and always bless their
memory.
Prof. James R. Newell was then intro
duced and entertained the audience by ex
cellent readings. Subjects---" The Batche
lor's Dream" and "The Razor Seller."
He then declaimed that favorite story of
freedom,"William Tell." The telling ef
fect of te gentleman's entertainment can
only be realized or conceived by thme who
were present or know his ability as an elp
cutionist. -
Mr. A. T. Donthett, county Superintend
ent, made the closing address.
The music for the evening was furnished
by a class of young misses belonging to the
school under the leadership of Prof. Slack
and Prof. Horner. The music was very en-
tertaining, reflecting great credit and abil
ity of those having it in charge. .
At the close the following dedication son,
written for the occasion by Miss Sue B.
Nichol, was sung very beautifully by the
class : -
Then will we pledge ourselves 1n song,
A band of brothers and sisters strong,
To light for right and to trample wrong.
To seek in our school of learning, free,
The knowledge that shall•ever
A safeguard to our llbertv,.
The whole exercises of the evening were
interesting and pleasing. ,The building is
a magnificent one, the best we think in the
city, .and certainly reflects great credit on
the enterprising directors who had it
erected. May others follow the example.
- The second anniversary of the North
avenue M. E. Sunday School of Allegheny
City ,was held yesterday afternoon at 3
o'clOck. Notwithstanding the inclemency
of the weather, the large school room was
filled at , the (appointed hour with the
scholars and. Friends of the school, who
seemed to takp g rest interest in the pro
ceedings.
After the preliminary exercises, which
were of a Vaned and interesting character,
the Secretary, Mr. Thomas Pratt, read the
annual report, , which gave an encouraging
exhibit of the vast success and present con
dition of the organization. During the
year it has beep under the superintendency
of Thomas Bakewell, Esq., one of _our
most efficient Sunday School workers g 'and
judging from the report, he, as well as
those interested with him in its manage
ment,-...have great reason to rejoice at the
success_whieb has attended their efforts.
With an increase of two hundred and ten
in the average attendance of scholars, six
teen new teachers added to the effective
force, 'a library increased'with new books,
now numbering six hundred and fifty
volumes, and renewed interest and activity
in every department, they enter upon the
third year with bright prospecta. •
. At the conclusion of the report, Rev. S.
F. Scovel, of the First Presbyterian Church,
taking for his text "And the hand of the
Lord was with him," preached a very
beautiful and suggestive sermon of about
twenty minutes' length to the children,
after which the audience was dismissed
with the usual closing exercises..

NEW OPERA. HOUSE.—TO-flight, at this
first-class and leading place of entertain
ment, will appear• for the - first time after a
lapse of twenty years, Mr. Edwin Forest,
the celebrated American tragedian, who
has but few rivals on the stage. In Sep
tember, 1833, Mr. Forest played an engage
ment as, a star at the "old Drury" under
the management' of Mr. Womyss, and "de
lighted large audiences" as the advertise
ment in the PIAzETTE of that date proclaim
ed. He appeared then in the following im
personatio s and order:, -Dille, Othello,
Virginius, Tell, Damon, Metamora and
King Lear The manager then announced
the young ctor in his bills : "In fulfilment
of the pro . ises made the manager feels
great ple: :ure in announcing to the public
the first ."ght of the celebrated American
.tragedi • , Mr: E. Forest, who left this city
a few y• : s ago an untutored novice, to re
turn the .rightest ornament on the stage."
Thirty- . e years have almost passed away
since th:-1, and the young actor coinesagain
into I our midst with tialweight of age on
his alien dors, but with a professional repu
tation t at has grown brighter with each
returnin:. year, and a fame that has spread
through. ut the world.
This :ironing will be presented the
Shakesp:rian tragedy of Othello. In order
that the • ngagement of Mr. Forest might
not be m • rred by imperfect support, Air.
Canning as engaged several actors, who
will appear during the remainder of the
season. Seats may be secured for any night
during the engagement of ten consecutive
evenings, at the box-office of -the Opera
House.
PITTSBURGH THEATRE.--The attractions
at the Old Theatre continue to follow each

beautiful and highly trained mare "Black
Bess." The inimitable Pony Smith and

Mr. Aimsts one of the most liberal mana-

and, it is gratifying to know that his efforts
to please the public are so fully appreciated.
FRANKLIN. HALL.—The most attractive
place of amusement in the city at present
is Burnell's Museum, at Franklin Hall.
We know of no more profitable and pleas
ant way of spending a leisure hour than
visiting the Museum and taking a look at
the works of art and wonders of nature,
which are found there in vast numbers.
'rho collection of animals, reptiles, rare
birds, etc., is one of the largest and most
attractive ever exhibited in this" city, and
the works of art' are unsurpassable._ In
addition i t o the many, attractions enumera
ted, there are hundreds of others of no less
importance. The Hall is thronged with
ladies and children from morning till night.

The evidence of the durability and Rl
periority of Wheeler lit Wilson's Sewing
Machine, says a cotemporary, is as con
clusive as a demonstration in Euclid.
The first of these machines ever made-has
been run for fourteen years, always works
well. The patentees have made over 360,-
000 of them, their sales each year for the
bast five years averaging 10,000 more than
any other company, and the testimonials
to their superior excellence would fill vol
umes. Time tries all things. It sifts and
settles .opinions. Many machines have
arisen, and have been awarded preMiums,
that are now sunk out of sight. But
, time and trial only extend the popularity
of that which, like this machine, is essen
tially meritorious. The simplicity of the
machine, in the application, of the lock
stitch, is its cardinal feature, while adapt
ation to the widest range of work has been
the constant aim. Free from all compli
cation of parts and movements it seldom
needs repairs, and will easily last a life
time. Especial attention is directed to the
fine stock of machines on hand; at the
salesroom of William Sumner & Co. No.
27 Fifth street, where all are cordially
invited to call and receive instructions,
whether intending to purchase or not. •
