.. A
in Allemostl/2claring;burglary .cavas perpetrated
gh,eny city on %Sunday' morning,
...,, which, iLinit the work,-Ofia,ifnrofessiOnal,”
. is a wonderfUllymysteriens ;affair. The
scene of-the burglary was the bed chamber
of a Mr: Johnson • Who . resides at Lama:
.
and
.Weilt.Catial streets, and which was oc
' ..' Elatth t' . .
eup e e time b y, himself, Nrife, daugh
ter and a hired girl. The rObhery was dis
• . 4 ,eovered by Nil*: JOhnicih, N h o; it appears,
-; was -wakened about two 'o'clock Sunday.
.
- 'l:tierning by the -falling of :i' Window sash."
...
'As soon as she awoke she : .discovered the
contents of five trunks, which were scatter
ed promiscuously over the fleet', and - being
apprehensive that thieves were.still in the
. house, site aroused her husband, who im
mediatrly grit .up and on exmniriation
fotind - that tideliunki had liewunlocked
=
and the contents is in grand conftision all
about the room. Ono 'of the trunks con
, tained $540, which had been . carefully. roll
ed up in it sheet eaddeposited in the bot
-tom, which, along with. $2O in a pocket
book in the pocket ' of Mrs. Johnson's
dress, - was - taken. The - thioveS,' it - is
thought, entered -. thii ' house through a,
vvinctow from the - roof of. a back build
, leg, as the doors'. both in the front' and rear
were. securely locked and bolted, and it is
:elident they retreated by,, , the.. 7 roof of the
back building, - as the sheet — in - which the'
money had been. wrapped , was found just
outside the windowbn thereof. The keys to
the trunks were in the same pocket with
the poOket book when Mrs. J. retired; but
they were found next morning in the hall
. just outside the roomlloor. From the ce of t i oom waS paay
-
' rein thatthehhigven hind room
i know ap d ge
of the premises, and had been very delibe
rate in their operation& It isl - supposed
' that chloroform was used, its both Mr. and
Mrs. J. state that they detected a peculiar
smell in the room when they first waken
ed, and the daughter and hired girl
sleeping in the same apartment were al
most suffocated when they were wakened.
The room occupied by Mr. J. and his wife
was on the second floor, the door of which
was locked when they.r..etimi... The other
rooms en the same floor were occupied by
borders, but 'the doors were secured by
bolts on the inside, and the thieves failed
to gain access. None of the boardere were
aware of the robbery until Sunday morn
ing. -The nunieyetblen. was the `amings of
several years, and its loss will fall heavily
upon Mr. Johnston.
Another Highway Robbery.
' •
Highway _robberies have becomt alarm
ingly frequent in our city within he past
month, and unless some very stringent
- measures are adopted 'to prevent their oc
currence and secure the safety of the citi
.
.zens, it will soon be unsafe for a Man to
pass through many portions-. of the city
alone.. There appears to bo a regularly or
ganized band of dastardly eut-throat rob
. hers infecting the city, who commit their
depredations with Impunity. Inoffensive
men are knocked down and robbed •of
Whatever of value they chance to have about
them while passing from work to •their
homes at all hburs of the night, yet the pa,
lice are unable. to obtain any information
as to who the m urde roudAlliana-are. No
less than 'three men were robbed in this
way One day last week, two of which have
already been rdported in the city papers.
The third was .Tames Moore, engineer on
the tow boat Alps, "%rho was passing from•
the boat up First Street to his residence on
• Friday night about eight o'clock, and when
near "Chancery Lane" be was assaulted
by • three men who came up behind him.
One of them dealt him a blow with a slung
ave the rit eye whch stunned
him, but
. did notknock 'him i
doivn. Ile
turned round facing the villians, when he
received another blow more eifectiye than
the former, as it rendered -him insensible.
Ho lay there for some chime, but finally re-
covered, when he diseovered that his
pocketbook containing five dollars, a silver
watch and his hat had been taken. Ile has
not the slightest idea who the villians were,
as he had not time to see their faces before
he received the blow which deprived Jinn
of consciousness for the time. What can
be done to prevent these murderous at
tacks?
Called to a New Field.
Rev. Simon Greenleaf Fuller, pastor of.
St. Peters Episcopal Church, on Grant
street, has received and accepted a mil from
Birmingham, Connecticut. Mr. Fuller has
had charge of the St. Peters congieliation
: for some three years, during which time he
has made many warm friends, and has
rendered almost universal satisfaction to
..
his' harge. His departure to a new field
will be deeply regretted by his numerous
friends, both in and out of the church. lie
has been a faithful laborer in his Ulster's
cause, and has rendered valuable service
to the church and the tense christianity
, generally in this vicinity.. During t his con
one'nec With St.'Pears coregation over
hundred members have been added to
it by confirmation, which is evidence of his
zeal and efficiency. The congregation will
also be deprived of one of its most efficient
and effective lady-workers, in the person of

'Dry Goods and Notions at Wholesale and
Where to Purchase to Advantage.
Messrs. Arbuthnot, Shannon k Co., the
proprietors of the well known, old estab
lished and, popular Wholesale dry goods
house, N0.15-Wood street, have long pre
sented veryl
superior attracWns in the way
of advantageonii prices, large and excellent
selection and variety Of stock, and have
succeeded in building up a trade fully equal
,
to that of any loading mercantile house
engaged in that line of business. They
but recently received a very large invoice
of general dry goods, trimmings_ and no
tions, which embraces everything that is
suitable to the seasons of spring and sum
mer. Those goods were purchased 'for
cash during the temporary panic which
latel,v swept over the Eastern cities, and
can be disposed of to the patrons of this
house at. much cheaper • prices than those
which now rule in New fork, Baden and
-Philadelphia. This may appear strange to'.
_those not thoroughly posted on the ir.regu
larities and consequent re in
prices, which marked tho early opening of
the importers and manufacturers' spring
trade, but to experienced buyers presents
no anomaly or perplexing problem. Those
merchants, and they were few in number,
who were fortunate enough to* make
their purchases during the conservatism
hf business,- secured immense adVantages
which cannot possibly be again obtained
during the present season. After the mar
kets strengthened, the•losses sustained in.
sacrificing goods to meet pressing oblige
tion.s, made imperative by a disordered con
dition of affairs, had to be made good by
largely advanced prices, and late buyers
were the sufferers. .Messrs. ' Arbuthnot,
Shannon d: Co, propose to shire their ad
-vantages with their patrons, and r as we have
remarked, are now selling goTtqlsiltetver than
they can be purchased in the ;eastern mar
kets. The home dealers. will readily disby

full
share of patronage, as they can buy cheap.
or and, save the incidental expenses and
freight incurred by bestowing orders or
making purclaasing,visits to the East, and
will obtain as admirabte a choice and selec
tion. Anyof our readers visiting the city
to lay in their fresh supplies, or who are
replenishing their stoks by order, should
keep• in view this old and high standing
business house, and become satisfied
through buying experience that it is lamaly to their interest to confine their patro

Improve= ------------------------The Proper Course Adopted.
The old saying that "Time levels all
things," is abont'to be verified in some of
our city improvements. In the Gazette
of Friday we referred to the proposed
change of grade on Clymer street, so as to
run the water from Penn street to the river,
, ,
o be e t x o te r n ais d. o
an suggested that the proper method of
refer
,t grade of Penn street, where it had been
Saturday, that obje
lowered sonie.four years since, to a proper'
eighth, instead df lowering Ifulhery alley,
inch is situated between Penn and the
Ter, at a grade'of thirteen inches higher
t an the former. It now appears that our
iews regarcting the matter were correct, as
the . Water Committee visited the locality
m re P a lialli to onn g
ing the water main to Lawrenceville,
t
e r t el l te d t
ad decided to raise the grade on -Penn
fe t and bight inches before laying the pipe.
It is the intention to lay a twenty inch
ter main on Penn from Clymer street to
8 Mary's avenue, which will connect with
an
t twelve inch main on, Liberty and
e t inch pipe on Smallman street, from
h small pipes will be extended on
rep eville. This will probably, interfere
wit some few property holders, on Penn
stie t, as the distance the grade will have
v,
v ral of the principal streets in Law
to', lie raised comprises two , squares, on
si l
1 1.
W eh several .fine buildings have been
er cted since the street was cut down, but
thocommittee take a very common sense
view of the matter, as they say the
grade will have to be raised eventually and
the sooner it is done the less property' will
i
be injured by it. The matter will be,
brought before Council to-daY, as a special
meeting has been called by the Water COM
mittee for that purpose. -
Death of Mrs. Stockton.
Another of the few remaining links
Which connect the present with the early
history of these cities has passed away.
Mrs. Fstlier Stockton,' relect -of the late
liev. Joseph Stockton, died yesterday morn
rilig at her residence on Stockton avenue,
haying just, entered upon.:her eighty-.
Seventh year. This good - old lady, until
within a week of her death, had enjoyed ,a
long life almost without a day's sickness,.
retaining in much vigor her senses of sight,
hearing and memory. Her last sickness
proceeded from a cold contracted in nurs
ing a sick son, her maternal solicitude
prompting her to intertiens' and exposure
unsuited to the natural infirmities of her
advanced years. For her the impending
change had no terrors;' her gentle and pious
life was the preparation for a peaceful and
submissive death; with her the transition
its from s t :vroridof sorrow -and
_gloom, to a
paradise of eifdlesti joy. Among her sur
vivors there is no one around whom so
many •pleasant- and-gratefal memories clus
ter; no one more loved or venerated; not
her many descendants and their connec
tions alone, but all 'her cotemporaries, and
especially l the vider . 'citizens of . Pitts
burgh and Alregheny, And' of - the country
around, will mourn the death of this aged

A New York plerehautillanufacturlng Shoe
BlaCklng.
Several weeks since, a man calling him
self J. (4. Oliver, came to the city and put
•
up at the 'Eagle Hotel, representing, as the
proprietr of that establishment alleges,
that he was a New York wholesale dry
.
goods merchant, and had come to•the city
fo the purpose of selling goods. Under
these representations - he was furnished
accommodations at the Eagle, where it ap
pears he remained several weeks, at the
end of which time Mr. Robert Steel, the
proprietor of the Eagle Hotel, thought it
time - that his board bill, which amounted
to $45 should be paid. The New , York
merchant was not prepared to settle the
bill at that time, but promised to do so the
next day. The next day came, but ithe
New. York 'irierchant did. not.: The land
lord was not to • be cheated out of the
amount of his bill in that manner, how
ever, and instituted search for his delinq
uent boarder. He was tracked to a "sky
parlor" at the corner of Vi Alley and
-Liberty. street,- -where ho was engaged in
the manufacture of shoe blackin. Mr.
Steel made information before Ald g erman
3feliituters, charging.Olivertith obtaining
board under false pretence. He was arrest
ed and after a hearing committed to jail in
default of-the required bait, for his appear
ance at Court.

Every Disease has its Remedy.
Upon this broadfact is founded the whole
art and science of medicine 4:
That every disease has its curable stage
under proper treatment, there can be no
doubt. -
That they have their incurable stage, un
der any treatment, may be equally true.
The curable period is during the, early
part of the disease, of course. The incur
able being the advanCed condition—the last
stage.
To know the precise nature, extent and
locality, of the disease is of the first im
portance in the treatment of any case.
This is precisely the reason given by Dr.
Oldshue, of Pittsburgh, for bringing into
requisition the Microscope, Test-tube,
Urmometer, and all the Chemical appara
tus for the scientific examination of the
urine in all chronic and complicated cases.
• The long afflicted have 'not 'been slow to
appreciate these scientific aids, and the con
sequence •is, his office is one continued
throng of patients from all parts of tho
country, seeking the advantages of this
Skill in diagnosis.
A knowledge of the appropriate remedy,
however, is quite important , as without the
remedy no advantage would be gained by
knowing the disease.
Every disease has its remedy. This is
verified in the tact that different medicines
spend their action upon different parts of
the human system.
As each particular disease Spends its
• principal baneful action upon x : certain
organ or tissue of the body according to its
peculiar nature, so each particular remedy
spends Its medicinal action upon a certain
organ or tissue according to its' medicinal
qualities.
Having a knowledge of the true nature
of the case, as also of theappropriate rem
edy, the next matter , of importance is its
proper preparation and application..
This should be carefully attended to, and
as far as practicable all medicines should
be examined by the physician before being
put into the :hands of the patient or nurse.
This Is done in the office of Dr. Oldshue
before mentioned.
All his medicines are compounded'and
his prescnptiorui filled by his own. special
direction, and under. his: own supervisiori.
No medicines are passed from his- pre
scriptions but through his hands.
This great care and caution in prescrip
tions, together with the very scientihe
mode of his examinations bas no doubt
contributed much to his
. great success in ,
practice.
Hundreds of apparently the very worst
'cases, including all kinds of chronic affec
tions, female diseases, • weaknesses,:
have found permanent relief at, his bands
and at very moderate cost. , •
