Long, EN., President, in the chair. Mr. A. F. Brooks, Secretary, read the minutes of the preceeding meeting, which' were approved. Major Win. Frew offered the following resolution : WHEREAS, The new tax bill reported by the Committee on Ways and Means retains the odious principle of discrimination against the manufacture of refined oil, not only by a specific tax of nearly fifty per cent. on its value, but by a series of most embarrassing restrictions which threaten the most serious results to the business; therefore, be it. Resolved, That the Pittsburgh Petroleum Association respectfully urge our Repre sentatives in Congress, Gen. J. R. Moor head and Hon. Thos. Williams, to claim for, this important interest_ the same favor which has been extended to all other man ufacturers, that of exemption from special taxation, and a release from the unnecessa ry and almost impracticable regulations of the proposed bill.

There are for ty-three persons in jail awaiting trial for various charges. The following grand Jury was sworn: Charles Hays, toreman; Charles Arbuo kle, John Anderson, Anthony Anderson, Robert - Bingham, Charles B. Barr, Wm- Bissell, Samuel Chadwick, David Alexan der, John Fitzsimmons, George W. Mur phy, David McPherson, George W. Riddell, David Robinson, Martin Salter, John Smithy. _ • Judge Stowe delivered the usual charge, briefly referring to the duties which would devolve upon the grand jury, and the man ner in which theirinvestigations should be conducted. During the course of his re marks His Honor referred to the charges of felony upon which the jury would be called upon to pass, and stated that in cases where the bill was ignored they had no right to impose the cost upon the prosecu tor. In cases, however, where they were of the opinion that the prosecutor should pay the costs, they could note the fact upon the indictment, and the Court would refuse to allow any costs to be taxed against the county for the prosecutor's &es. as a wit nes... The Court also called particular at tention to the charges of larceny by bailee and false pretenses,now so frequently 'natl. tuted, and directed the jurors to examine closely each case coming before them. The law had been greatly abused by parties for private purposes, and frequently - used as a means for collecting Mere debts where no criminal offense had been committed. His Honor directed that the bills be ignored In all cases where the charge was not fully made out by the evidence. • k The jury then retired, after which the returns of constables-were received. The remainder of the day was occupied in heariii,g surety and other trivial cases. Court of Common Pleas—Judge Sterrett. Smithson, Palmer dce Company vs. Dr. It Hostetter.

The special committee of Councils, con sisting of Messrs. W. R. Brown, John Shipton, Jarneti -Weldon, Col. Andrew Scott and Richard G. Morrow, accompanied by Col. Minor W. Roberts, Superintendent of the Ohio River Improvements, H. J. Moore, Esq., City Engineer, Joseph French, Engineer of Water Works, Mr. Wm. Tom linson, President of Common Council, and other members of Council, with several citizens and gentlemen of the press, visited Fort Herrpn and other eminences near the city, with a view to the selection of a site for a distributing basin suited to the feces. sities of the enlarged boundaries of the city. At Fort Herron, instrumental observations were made determining the Fort to be the highest ground between the rivers. It remains for the committee, by further explorations to prepare the materials for a report, which will embrace all the needful investigations pre liminary to the fixing of the point on the river from which to take the water and the method of its distribution over the entire city, urban and suburban. The subject is one of very great importance to the pros- I eat and future Inhabitants through all coming generations, and we trust no pains or expense will be spar. d to. effect the de- • sired object in the most judicious manner. I We have faith in the intelligence and prudence of the committee, and look to them for such an exposition of this most interesting topic as will reflect credit on I themselves, and eventuate in suchprovi- 1 sions of a water supply, as will be adapted to both the present and future necessities of a great city. • Phonography. Those desirous of obtaining a knowledge of phonography, or short-hand writing are hereby informed of the fact that Mr. S. 8. Gilson, a very worthy young gentleman, entirely competent, is now forming aohnis, and has met with such encouragement that he will likely commence teaching this evit fling at Duff's College, in the Bank Block, .nlTh street,w here be has secured acco ma. dations. He purposes to give twenty-five lessons, three in u week, for ben dollars. He has Just concluded a course of twenty les iions, and his class, after a rather elatiorate review of what knowledge they had tic. .itiired of phonography ' took occasion to return to Mr. Gilson their heaety acknowl edgment for his earnest efforts in their be half, an number of them at once made application to loin the new cisme, feeling that with a continuance of his assistance they would the sooner be able to write short-hand. We would add. that it is use less for any one to undertake to• learn pho nography unless possessed of the essential requisite of perseverance. Mr. Gilson will be found at Duff's College any evening dur- ing the week. Coroner's Inquest. An accident occurred Saturday - afternoon in Hays' Coal Works, at Six `AL% Ferry, resulting fatally to William Defeat, a coal miner. He was at work in the pit, when a heavy piece of ' , horseback," becoming de tached from the roof, fell upon bim, hint instantly..

His first name is Henry, and he has been recently employed by Mr. Boyd, a .painter on Ferry street. The young lady, Matissa 'Whittlell, who it appears resides with het parents at Shalers . ville, a short distance above Tiimperance ville, where they keep a confectionery, came to the city to make some purchases, and was passing along Market street, near Third, when she % meta boy wh4ihe request ed to direct her Where she could get some ice. The boy directed her as requested, and she stad on her way, and had pro ceeded but a short distance when Henry, who it app heard her make the in : quiry, came up behind her and touching. her on the shoulder to attract her atten tion, told her that he would take her to an ice h use. -, She thanked him and started with, him. , He took her down Market to Second street, and up Second to Wood to a narrow alley which leads into a dark court. She preceded him in the alley, and when about half way through it he caught hold of her, and with one hand on her mouth threw her down. She - managed to get his hand from her mouth , and cried for help, which frightened him from a further prosecution of his hellish designs,• and caused him to run away and leave her. Her cries were beard by two men who were passing down the street, and seeing the'villain emerge from the alley from whence the screams proceeded in great haste, they stopped him, but allowed him to escape on account of his threats to shoot, ezc. He hastened down Second street to Market, and was then lost sight of. The girl went to thq Mayor's office and made information against Henry for assault and battery with intent to commit rape.. The officers know him, and if he has not left the city r wilrdoubtless arrest him soon. Register's Office Business.
