Upon making inquiry and search ho discovered the lady in Law renceville and asked about the property, when he alleges she denied all knowledire of it, and refused to talk with him. on the subject.

Better Goods are Offered at Home t Feeling that Pittsburgh would support a first class wholesale and jobbing queens ware establishment, and that the large trade hitherto diverted in favor of Eastern merchants might .be retained at home. if proper stocks were carried, prices offered and indneementri aflbrded, Messrs. Boyter & Ogden, two well-known, enterprising and capable business gentlemen, have just opened one of' the most extensive estab lishments of that character„to be found in the 'United States. This house, which has already advanced to a place of importance In the trade of the city, is located at No. 23 Wood street, a oint favorable to the jobbing trade, being near to both river and rail, and so soon as its merits are fully laid Delores the public it intuit rejoice in an immense patronage, derived not only from an, immediate neighborhood, but likewise from Western Virginia, Eastern Ohio, and States contiguous to our own. The firm have opened with an immense importation of goods, direct from Europe, where the, were purchased for cash, gold, by one of the panthers recently, and from an examination yesterday wo were almost led to bell* that• they proposed supplying half the tables west of the Alleghenies with superior queeneware. so extensive is the stock. Pint we entered tho collar, whore orate atter orate, original , packages; unopened, from Europe, wore ' packed op top of each other and as closely as they could be stored. These contained thous ands on thousands of dollars worth of goods and are held In reserve fur the opening of trade. On the next flour, the printaptil sale and sample room, we were lost amidst a profusion of goods - embracing everything known in this line of business, bum the tiny little toy cup up m the mammoth bowl and pitcher. Indeed, so oloaely is this room occupied with stook that we could hardly thurpassage way bet Ween the Outly ing groaning with cups and sautioni,und the counters and floors covered with miniature mountains of table plates of all, tiIYAB, qual ities sad descriptions. here also will be found a splendid variety of fine pressed and cut glass ware, chandeliers, oil lamps and superior china ware. These articles aro made specialties, the principal trade, however, being in queensware. Op. the second floor the same great exhibition of snowy white and colored atone warn greets the eye, and so on through the third and fourth stories, even up to the - attic. The firm have already tilled a warehouse on Second street, together with their Wood.. street house. with the first instalment of their primary importation, and have an. other cargo on board the j Cumberland, now on the ocean. Their facilities for do ing business is unequalled and they will doubtless entirely monopolize a vast share of trade from this neighborhood and the west. They have a large force employed, and r while the interests of the house are represented by a number of traveling sales men, all the departments at home are at tended to in the best possible manner. Per haps the best advertisement the? firm could have is the fact that they will duplicate the prices of all invoices shown of purchases from eastern importers, and - as a regular thing will sell at prices mach more reasona ble than prevail beyond the Allegheny mountains. , Merchants will take this fact into consideration, as it will: save them Many a dollar to bestow their patronage on Messrs. Boyts & Ogden. In the first place they can purchase at this house goods at leas rates than those of eastern cornpet- Horsy and next they save traveling ex penses, hotel -bills. &13., and all freights by-confining their patronage here. With large capital and sound business judgment the members of this new busi ness house propose to carry on their trade in such a manner as not only to win confi dence, but likeviise to build up such a trade in this line of business as will be an item of material importance in the (mercantile statistics of the city. They will deal large ly in lamp goods, having an immense and varied stock on hand, and will offer great , inducements to patrons of that department. Dealers abroad and city merchants making up their orders will consult their interests by giving this house a call. They will be fairly astonished at the immensity of the stock carried and the very reasonable prices prevailing In every department. The gen tlemen composing the firm aro praise worthy, obliging and honorable,with whom it is a pleasure to deal, and we bespeak for them the large trade due their energy and enterprise. Their house cannot fail to be- . come the great popular trade mart for goods in this line, as making direct importations, for whioh they enjoy unusual facilities, they .can keep the market -supplied con stantly with the very , best quality of goods, and moreover will be enabled to sell at t ricesbelow the most reasonable of eastern The Cattle Question—Meeting of the Al. . leghedy Butchers. A meeting of the Allegheny butchers was held last evening at eight o'clock in the Mayor's office, for the purpose of adopting measures to prpvent any diseased cattle from being purchased in Allegheny. Jos. Bellatein occupied the chair, and J. li. Hazlett acted as Secretary. There was quite a large attendance orate butchers and a very free discussion of the subject took placo. They finally resolved unanimously for the pr l esent to buy no cattle coming from the I t Liberty stock yards or from Chicago. A Committee, consisting of James Reed, Joseph McDonald and (leo. Hartman, was appointed to Inspect all cattle brought into the market to-day. Those present pledged themselves to buy no stock unless it was recommended by the Committee.

Patrick states in sub stance that he attended a piernie at McFar land's Grove, on Thursday, and while there a fight occurred between twp boys, which created a great deal of excitement, but was finally stopped. Just about the time it ceased Hoak came up and inquired what the matter. was. Patrick made a remark to the effect that police officers were never on hand when they were needed, but al ways came up when the fuss was 'over. Nothing was said at the time by the officer, but shortly 'afterwards he came up to Mar ley, who was standing by a tree, and asked him what he meant by the remark. The ' reply was that no offense was intended, but Soak, it is,alliged, not satisfied with this explanation, knocked the man down and kicked him, and would have otherwise abused him but that his victim, regaining his feet, ran off as fast as possible. ,Hoak was arrested and give bail , for Court.

Yesterdsiafternoon, about two o'clock, two women - entered the' trimming store of Dennison it Heckert, on Fifth street, osten sibly to make some purchases. 'While . in the store one of them was detecied in the act of stealing a pair of stockings, and when discovered she immediately offered to pay for them. The proprietors, suspect ing that all was not right, refused to let them go, and called in officers . Kelley and Stewart, who were near at hand, and who conveyed both women to the lock-up. As they were being taken through to the cells Officer Stewart noticed one of them throw something behind a door. He im mediately made search and found apiece of ribbon about half a bolt altogether, which as if it was perfectly new. Exam ining it closely he discovered the trade mark of F. 11. Eaton stamped upon it, and comparing it with a piece in Mr. Eaton's store he found it to be exactly the same. This led to au investigation of the af fair, which, resulted tri the unearthing_ of a quantity of stole i goods, and the prollile breaking lin of a regular systo of shoplifting. The women gave their names as Galley and Anderson. Mrs. Galley resides on .ho corner of West and Second streets, and Mrs. Anderson on First street, in the Third warn. At the house of Mrs. Anderson whore the police tirat searched, they found a number of dress patterns and one silk dress. At Mrs. Gal ley's they discovered a large size velvet cloak, worth about fifty dollars several silk drama patterns, a roll of fine linen .and eight fine towels, and a number of other valinible articles in tio dry goods line. )3 The goods wore all rought to the of fi ce where they remain fo identification.

James Blackmer°, with his usual yro ptitude and care for, the public interest, companied by Messrs. George Fortutte, See etary of the Board of Health, and his Assi tent, Williams, visi ted the East Liberty Stock Yards for the purpose of ascertaining what effect might be had on the general health of the community from the cattle diaease,. and to discover In what manner the carcasses were , being disposed of. They found some of the bone boiling es tablishment. whither bad been taken the carcasses of the animals, in a wretchedly filthy condition, many of the bodies being exposed to the sari and tar decomposed, filling the atmosphere with the most terri ble stench imaginable. Nor was this all. The offal, containing enough poison to sicken an entire community, was thrown into a run which leads to the Allegheny river, and our people have been for several days past swallowing the juice of the boiled flesh of diseased cattle. The order was at once given by the author ities to bury the offal in a deep pit with Bine, and we trust that it will be obeyed, as it, is no pleasant thing to realize that the Allegheny river is so largely charged with sickening poisons. It is .-bad enough to. have served upon our table health destroying beef, but careless bone boilers haye taken due pains that the water we drink shall be charged with frith and poison. It is but prudent to ab stain from the water as Much as possible, at least until sufficient time has elapsed to permit the poison with which it must be now charged to pass away. _ . Alleged Outrage--A Strange Affair. On Thursday evening a young man giv ing his name as G. Gaab stopped a couple of the night police oa the lino of the Alle gheny Valley Railroad and requested their assistance. He had a rather strange story to tell, which in substance was as follows: • He had been taking a walk with a 'young woman named Lena Jones, and while going along the Allegheny river bank, near Wil kins street, they were attacked by live or six rowdies, who had been secreted behind a pile of lumber, and who knocked him down and used him in a very rough •man-• ner. In the meantime the young woman was dragged sway by the rowdies and -when he recovered no trace of them could be seen. The police, after making a thorough search of the neighborhood, and' failing to discover anything, accompanied the young man to the boarding house of Min Jones, on Penn street. Gael, went in to the house telling the officers to remain outside. After waiting fur some time, and finding that Ciaab - apparently Intended to remain inside, they went away, supposing the matter to bo all right. Yesterday morning a rumor was current that the girl was still missing and that tho young man was suffering from the injuries he had re ceived, but upon inquiry it was ascertained that she had returned home. No further particulars of the affair could be ascertain ed, howeVer. _Wants I. Move.

The day for hand sewing; is past. Woman has been reen redeemed by the votaries of Science from the , worst slavery imaginable, and will never more be forced to waste away her life in the tedious, dull work of drawing the thread-filled needle. The age of sewing mahhines brought the color of health to thousands of fair cheeks blanch ing for the grave, and as many households have been made happy by the gyred song of industry sung by the "Singer"—for all persons have learned of the great excellence of that machine, the first practical benefit derived from the promulgation of the gen eral, principles of the invention. The Singer has advanced.steadily in the estimation of the public till to-day . it occupies the proud est position of them all. It is simple in its ,construction, put together in no intricate manner, and can hardly get out of order, and if it does it can be repaired by the least skilful in mechanics. It performs its work in such a manner as to win for it the palm of superiority, being superior and substan tial. It works with rapidity and ease, and takes in the east range of work which many suppose beydnd the power of tnachinery,aral is almost noiseless in its motions, requiring no strength,skill or endurance to successful ly operate it. During 1867 the Company manufactured 43,053 of their world-famed Singers, which was ,a much larger number than the product of any similar Company for the same period. Figures generally tell truths, and in this ease fully demonstrate that the public have a just appreciation of -this marvellous invention of the age, and in no unmistakeable manner assert their preference. The workings of the Singer Machines must be seen to be appreciated. They run light, have most perfect feed, best extra attachments, and perform more work without change of needle or thread or-tension than any other offered to the public. The General Agents for this city, Messrs. Straw tit Morton, at their elegant rooms, corner of Penn and St. Clair streets, have a splendid stock on hand of the ye, rious styles of machines, and any of our readers contemplating making a purchase in this line should not fail to call and ex amine them.( If properly understood and appreciated, the Singer machine would find its way into every family in the city. Street Obstruction. An engineer of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railway, was brought before Mayor Dram yesterday morning ()barged with violating a city - ordinance by obstructing - Ohio Avenue, in the Second ward, Allegheny The offence consisted in allowing his engitle, attached to a train of cars, to block up the crossing on the Avenue, thus preventing travelers from passing that way. The shifting yard of the company abuts on the Avenue, and it has been the custom in making up the trains to use the crossing, therchy I delaying travelers who may have to pass that way, very often from fifteen minutes to half an hour before - the tracks are sufficiently clear to allow, of a safe crossing. The officers of the' company have teen notified of the mat ter several times but they say it , had heretofore been' impossible to prevent it. They have, however, procured addi tional grounds on the north and west side of the depot, and as soon - as the tracks are laid it will remove the shifting yard so that the trouble will be obviated. The ar rested party yesterday was fined twenty:. live dollars, which he paid and was die charged. Subsequently, it is stated, he met the informer against bin, and beat him severely r threateniug to put an end to his life. An information was lodged against him for assault and battery. gave bail for a hearing on this second charge, which will take place this morning.
