Sunday afternoon an insane man, a for
eigner, and stranger in the city, was Iltund
- running at large in Allegheny, and was
very properly taken in custody by one of
the Mayor's police and confined intl's) lock
up. He was allowed to remain'there until .
Monday morning when his Hanoi Mayor
Dram applied to the proper authotities of
both county and city to have him removed
to either the City or County Home. Mr.
MeGonnigle, Secretary of the Board of Poor
Director
.for the city, we are infOrmed, was
first applied to by the .Mayor, bat on
learning that the man was a stranger
in the;city, or that he came from the coun
try, refused to grant him admission to the
City H' e, On the grounds that the case
g in
belon properly to the county and that
applica on should 1)6 made to Mr . Davis.
Mr. Davis was next called upon and we
learn called once or twice to see the un
fortunate maa, but as yet nothing has been
done in the ease, and the poor unfortunate
creature still remains in the lock-up. ' The:
Mayor
N tua
given him all the attention in
his po er, furnishing him his meals from
a rests rant regularly, and procuring med
ical attendance. The man is not only in
sane, but is severely 111, andif not removed
to more comfortable quarters, where 1 e
will receive proper - attention, will in all
probability-die. ,
There is something Wrong and somebody
at fault in this matter; who it is we do
not pretend to say, but the matter should
be investigated, and the party responsible
should beiteld answerable. ~.
Some months since we published state-
ment of a man who was injured in South
dit \ga
Pittsburgh, which reflected on some of.our
officials, bat the next day fin g that we
had done the parties inAstice, readily
made a correction,. which prov defile,
tory to all interested.. Mr. Metionnigle;
whose name wasnot mentioned in the arti
cle referred to, nor was in any way con
nected with the affair, took occasion to
abuse reporters - and newspapers in general,
and at that .tune said an arrangement ex. 1
istedbetween Mr.Fortune,of the Pittsburgh
City Home, Mr. Davis, of the County Home,
and himself, by which all such cases as the
one in question were provided for. He
stated that when application was made to
either one the proper action was taken by
him end sanctioned by theothers. ' If such
an arrangement °Listed then and is still in
existencei could not Mr.ltleGksitnigle have
provided for the poor unfortunate creature
whom ho knew to be lying in a prison cell
al
under his oe. and-would not Mr. Davis
have sanbtioned his action? or, was it ne
' cessary to allow him to remain there for
throe or , four days until it could be
ascertained who he was, what ,be was,
and where- - he came frcmit From
constant ; summation with misery - and
suffering men sometimes become hard
ened, and the frequent impositions to which
they are subjecW4 makes them suspicions,
the consequence of which is, that in their
'efforts. to protect themselves against im
posters, the innocent and deserving are fre
quently made to suffer. It will not do for
a director of the poor to act upon the prin
ciple "that every man is an imposter until
the contrary Is established." The county
and citizens are much more able to stand
an imposition of this kind, which could be
but for a day or two at most, than an insane,
sick man is to bear the hships of prison
life for a week. in order that the servants of
the public may have time to ascertain and
arrange beest themseives, to which the
case properly belongs. , 1

MralitTßoll GAZETTE i THURSDAY, TWAY 16 , -1868.
Monday, Bth hist., the house of Kts. Ar
buckle, situated above Wheeling, near the
Ohio river, in West Virginia, was burgled
ously entered and a quantity of silver warei
valued at about three hundred dollart• ea
ried away. It appeaxa that there was no
•
one about the house at the time the bur
glary was committed, consequently there
was no clue to the perpetratOrs and noth
ing could be ascertained relative to the af
fair, except that two men were seeueeming
down the river, Monday evening. in a
skiff, who pulled to the shore in front of the
house and got out of the boat, and soma
time afterward were seen entering the boat
and proceeding on down the river. The
owner of the property had given no all
hopes, we presume, of ever recovering her
property, and is perhaps yet ignorant of the
fact that at least a large portion of it has,
been recovered. Yesterday afternoon Mayor
Blackmore received a despatch from Mayor
Brice of Hancock, Ohio, which read as fol
lows : "Have you any knowledge of a
quantity of silver ware being taken from
your city marked , Arbneklelt.' Anewer .
Immediately." •
The Mayor took the dispatch to Mr. Ar
buckle, on Liberty street, who is a son of
the lady referred to above, and was in
formed that a robbery had been ooMmlt
ted, and silverware to the value of $3OO
carried away. He then telegraphed to
Mayor Brice requesting hlm to hold the
goods and Ithief, if j caught, until farther
notice, and at two o'clock last night officer
Gnmbert, EteeOlned by Mr. Arbuckle,
left the city tor New ark.
We do not k now what portion of the
goods have been recovered or whether the
thief or thieves have been captured, as the
dispatch stated nothing further than what
we publish. The probabilities are that the
';hief has been captured, however.
The Allegheny Light Guard.
We published in our tissue of yesterday,
a report of a meeting held at Wilkin'slitall,
on the evening previous, which purported
to be a meeting of the "Allegheny Light
Guard." It appears however, that such
was not the ease. The meeting was called
we are informed by a few dissatisfied mem
bers of the old company without any en
thority for so doing, consequently their
action, disbanding the "Allegheny Light
Guard," ; amounted to nothing.. It will be
seen by the following communication that
the company is' still in existence and is
likely to remain '0; the action of the
seceeders to the contrary notwithstanding,
and if they are not satisfied with It the
only remedy left them is to resign, their
membershiP'and join some other cortiny
if they desire to. The "Light Guard' be
ing still an organization of course can claim
all company property:
ALLEGHENY, July 15,.1868.
MMES. Ltorrous:--Having seen a notice
in the columns of your paper stating cas t
i n
Allegheny Light Gutlrci military com
pany had been disbanded through thepro
cee dings of a meetinheld at Wilkins Hall
on Monday evening, a nd knoWing that said
meeting was composed only of a quorum
of members, including the former Second
Lieutenant, and presided over by the Color
Sergeant of the above named company, I
do hereby. in justice to myself and all
members in good standing, declare the orig
inal company
still in existence.
- A meeting proper will be called as early
as practicable, when an oppOrtunity will be
given to young •men of good character to
swell the ranks of the "Allegheny Light
Guard."
The extremely hot weather of the put
feW days_has had a tendency to increase
the number of street loafers, and the co.
\customed haunts of this worthless class of
the community, which a few weeks since
were oecapied by perhaps II solitary loafer,
each are now frequented by a down or
more lazy, lounging fellows, who have
doneness been compelled to vacate their
lounging plows in beer saloons and taverns
in order to make room for more profitable
customers. The stepts of the Old 'Theatre,
the jail yard, and the stone wan at the
north end of the St. Clair atreet bridge, are
the favorite resorts of this class of persons,
and they are most liberally patronized.
There is not the slightest excuse for healthy
men spending their time In sucn places.
There Is plenty of work to do, at which in
dustrious men can make good wages; but it
is not that class of men who are' tbund
l o oo Vi m. nglng on lt Is oly street earners and in beer sa
l the professional loafer.
who is too lazy to work and too poor to
live respectably _without it, and is content
to eke out a miserable existence of a few
years, dependent upon some one else for
the brwd he eats and the clothing be wears.
Such men should be banished from the
community. They are fit subjects fora
work house, or'chain sang. ,
We depire this morning to call attention
to the very superior facilities enjoyed by
Mr. 8. S. Marvin, No. 91 Liberty street, for

aid, Mr. Marvin is prepared to furnish the
trade with such articles as willprote high

dusky street and Strawberry alley, and as
a result of their labors the Church now pre

replaoed by a new one several feet larger

the -veined work of the seats freshened
with a new coat of varnish, and the 'aisles

the painter with his brush and a
liberal supply of coloring material has
succeeded in coderably changing the
looks of affairs a nd adding very materially
to the appearance of the structure.
Th. renovation has certainly improved
the churchry much, and the oongrega

Base Ball—The Game To-Day.
The Detroit Base Ball Club arrived In
the city last evening, and are being enter
tained at the Monongahela House, as
the guests of the Allegheny Club, who are
doing all in their power to make the
visit a pleasant one. They seem to be in
excellent condition, and will no doubt give
a good seem:tat cif themselves in the contest
to-day. It will be remembered that the
game, which commences at three o'clock
this afternoon at Union Park, is a return
match between the two Clubs. In the first
game, played at Detroit on the Fourth,
the dlegheny bays - were badly beaten,
the score standing 22 to 4. They
expect to-day, however, toretrieve their
lost laurels, as they are all in good
practice, and the strongest nine they
have ever had will take the field: They

Char quiet Sister.
Allegheny was very quiet yesterday in
the police line, and the officers of the law
seemed to have nothing to do but lay back
on their oars. The monotony of the morn
ing was somewhat relieved by the am
mitment of a couple of females, Bcckle
Hod& and Ellen Keenan, for vagrancy
and the arrest of one or two otherpersons
of that class, who forget the injunction
"look not , upon the wine,"&a., but be.
yond . this nothing was done. The Al
dermen who generally have a pretty
good run in settling squabbles and
- dispute* amongst neighbors, looked in vain
for a ease, and as far as this line of business
was concerned they might have closed
their doors and lost nothing. The police
men walked their accustomed beats back
ward and forward, but no trace of disorder
could 'be discovered, and "All's well"
seemed to be borne on every passing breeze.
Even in the usually noisy pa radise of those
who love the foaming nut brown beverage
all was quiet. To our police reporter it

We clip the following from the Greens
burg Herald : On Wednesday - *Remo&
of last week; during the prevalence of a
thunder storm, the house of Mr. John- . L.
Holmes, of this place, wasstruck by light
ning. Three boles were torn in the roof
and several' rafters splintered , to pieces.
The fluid passed'down the chimney till it
came to a stove Opt hole, in the second
story, and from thence it took across the
room into a large looking glue, breaking
it iuto atom and scattering it au over the
room: pieces of which were found imbed
ded in the plastering on the walls; here it
stopped." Mrs. Holmes being unwell wits
lyinvil a lounge in the-room at the time
the htning was performing its freaks
throng it, but escaped uninjured, which
seemed almost a miracle from the havoc it
created in the room. ARIA was the only.one
in the house at the time. •
