senger train came along. and he, not hear
ing or heeding the alarm, was knocked
down and had his right arm kun over by

terday afternoon about 2 o'clock one of the

entirely powerless; water was -dashed
in her face, and , she was rubbed; we kept'
her breathing by this andnther means; at 1
times it was with great difficulty we could '
keep her breathing; from ?,‘ to 7Velock
in the evening we could raise her without
much trouble; about 9. o'clock she was able
to speak, reaotion having come on; I then
had hopes of her reaove ; she vomited

her was on Sunday evening, at Mr. Low-.
rie's house in East Libeity, She was well
at that time, and told him that she wanted
to. get rid of Mr. Quinn, and thought he
would go home. I heard that - she was
poisoned, and came to the depot totsee her;
she — said she had her lessons for.:
herself, and that she did not want'anybody
punished for what she had done. :Quinn
said they were engaged to be married, but
she denied it; she was with him in Pitts
burgh ,on the Fourth of July. Her state
ment to me was that she procured the
laudanum in East Liberty, by sending a
little girl to a drug store, giving her
twenty-five cents, and requesting her to
purchase that amount. Her companion,
Mr. Quinn, was with her when the pack
age was given her by the little gill; he
asked her what was in it; she said, cordial,
and she was going to take it when she got
home; she took the laudanum at the sta
tion, when be was not seeing her, and he
did not know she had taken it; she handed
me [the witness] the bottle. [lt was here
produced by the w and aut
one-fourth full. Ititness
conained the wa label
of
R. lki'Clarran, Druggist, East Liberty, and
a printed direction as to the doses required
to be taken by persons of various ages.] I
visited her on the evening of that day.

was examined and testified that' he »kw
Miss Miller on Monday morning about two
o'clock. She got him his breakfast, and
he came to Pittsburgh. Quinn and Miss
Miller were together the same morning at
seven o'clock, when-he 'returned from
Pittsburgh; saw them at Mr. Bown's gro
cery store in East Liberty; I heard about
one o'clock that she was poisoned; she said
about half an hour before she died that she
was tired of being knocked around, and
that Quinn had nothing to do with it; Mr.
Quinn stopped at the same house, and al
ways boarded there when be was in East
Liberty; Mr. Bacon appeared to be liked
by her bettor than Quinn was. •
'James Lowrie, thegentleinan with whom
the girl lived; was sworn, and said that on
Monday Morning, about two o'clock, the
came to his bind and told him not to wake
her as usual, as Brie did not rant to see
Quinn; she slept i the same room' with

into her room and took .her by the hand
and pulled her up, and asked her to go to
the station with him. She had lain clown
with her clothes on.. It was reported that
she had taken poison some time ago at
Johnstown.
Mr. Cardiff was re-called and testified
that he never knew of her taking poison
before, but she was sick last winter, and

der, or love lozenge, and that they had 'bet
ter have it examined. was shown to

It is said that there is a time to laugh
and a time to cry. Patrick ( Leonard must
have realized the truth of this old pro'Verb
on Saturday, for It seems that both occa
sions occurred in one shoe, 'day of his life.
Patrick having been discharged from
jail, where he had been serving a term for
larceny, thought he at least ought to smile
to express his joy at release, and he ac-'
cordingly did so. Strange Ito say, how
ever, the smiling was just the - reverse of
making him good humored; in fact it made
him quite bad huinored and caused him to
commence an onslaught on officer J. H.
Behsen, which resulted in his arrest on an
information for assault and battery pre
ferred by the officer before Alderman
Lippert. A hearing was had in the case,
, ;and Patrick was compelled to take up his
-.old quarters', hich he was exceedingly
loth to do. Po r Patrick.

Jean Mace, author of "The History of a
Mouthful of Bread," etc. Published by
Harper & Brothers, New York. Tor sale
by Henry Miner, Pittsburgh.
This volume is of the same character of
"The History of a Mouthful of Bread." The
distinguished author in the latter has shown
the-vronderful movements of certain' func
tions o: the human system, but this work
discusses a leis mysterious subject, the walk
ing machine. Mere we have portrayed in
the writer's enchanting style, the relations of
the arms, muscles, brain, etc. We look for
a large sale of both these publications, as
they combine popular- elements, as well as
valuable instruction.
IDEMOORACT.IN THE UNITED STATES. W hat
it has done, what is doing, and what it
will do. By Ransom H. Gillet, formerly
Registrar and Solicitor of the United
States Treasury Department, - etc. Pub.
fished by D. Appleton, & Co., New York.'
Jor sale by Henry Miner, Pittsburgh.
The publication of this work at this time,
especially as the National Democratic Con
vention is balloting for President and Vice-
President at the time this notiee is written,
is significant. By Democracy, of course,
Mr. Gillet means the principles of the Denin
cmtic party, and his book is a defence of
that .party and an outline of its history.
The fact that Mr. Gillet was for along time
a prominent and active politician, he has
had ample opportunities to fit himself for
the duty of writing such a book: Demo
crats will: find this a valuable work for ref
erence, and others can see the principles of
that party well set forth.,
THE MODERN REPRESENTATIONS or THE
LIFE OF JESUS. By Dr. Gerhard Uhihorn,
First Preacher to the Court. Published
by Little, Brown & Co., Boston, Mass.
It is rarely that so much thought and ar
gument is embrace in the compass of such
a small volume, as the one before us.
Everylover of evangelical truth will hail
its timely publication, not only for the suc
cessful' refutation of the teachings of He
nan, Siienkel and Strauss, but for the valua
ble arguments ft rnfshed to hand to resist
such views as were taught by them. The
first Oicourse is a review of Ileum's Life of
Jesus. The second attacks and exposes in
a very Isatifactory manner .the heresies of
Eihenkel and Strauss. The third vindicates
the truth of the Gospel. The last discourse
is upon mericales. We hope the work will
have a Iwide circulation.

little need be said as to his qualfficatio s for
the preparation of the work. His impress, as
a teacher, has been felt by thousands of
young:men and women, who have been nn-.
der his direction. This experience alone is

are mainly devoted to practical topics, pre

Each of these chapters are complete initself,
and yet form an interesting thread of narra

street, Pittsburgh. Mr. Amos Stevens,
General Agent, office, 03 Wood street.
This series of text-books were prepared
by the , authors to supply the want of an ele
mentary view of the preient state of the
Physical Sciences. The professed text-
books on Science now in use are behind the
'times, and. lack a systematic development
of leading principles. The progress in
these Sciences have been so rapid o; late
years that teachers have felt the need of
just such books as are embraced ,in this
series. The common sense method of deal
ing with the topics discussed,, freshness,
vigor, and clearness of style, are highly
spoken of by experienced' educators. The
admirabliS arrangement, simple and har
monious, of the books, is also greatly coin
'Mended by professional men..whose judg
merit is par excellence.. These testimonials
too come from different parts of the country.
The first of the series treats 'of the Mo
ments of Natural • Philosophy, designed to
be usedin Grammar and District Schools.
It consists of three sections: the first-treat
ing of pressure; the second, of motion; and
the third, of machines and sources of
mechanical power. It contains nearly one
hundred illustrations: price 80 cents.
The Cambridge Course of Elementary
Physic comprises three volumes; namely :
Chemistry and Electricity; Bound, Light
and Heat, aid Astronomy. The work on.
Chemistry and Electricity treats of Cohe
sion, Adhesion, Chemical Affinity and Elec
tricity. These topics are thoroughly elabo
tilted, and elegantly illustrated with one
hundred and twenty-two cuts.
The Elements of Bound, Light and Heat
forms the second volume in which the na
ture and propagation of, sound and musical
instruments; nature and propagation' of
light and optical instruments; nature and
propagation of heat, effects of heat on bod
ies, and therial instruments, arc treated ful
ly. Nearly two hundred illustrations are
given: •
The third volume is on the Elements of
Astronomy. The contents embrace motions
and distances of the heavenly bodies; phys
ical features of the heavenly bodies, gravity
of force by which the heavenlg bodies act
upon one another, and origin, traniimilla-
Sons, and conservation of energy. Like
the others this volume" i 3 handsomely Mu's=
trated. Price $1,75 per - volume.
The last of these excellent text-books, t
Hand-book of the Stars, for School. and
Home use, contains an account of the fixed
stars, number, magnitudes, distances, and
motions, of their changes in brightness and
color, and of their groupings into constella
tions and smaller clusters. Also - a fall ac
count of the solar system. This is an ex
cellent work.
