The Wrong Method.
Thomas M'Organ, being in need of some
articles of wearing apparel, adopted,
what seemed to him, the easiest method of
supplying his needs, and while saunter
ing along last evening, he appropriated a
pair of pants and a vest from a bow in front
of the clothing store of Snodgrass it Bro.,
No. 41 Ohio street, Allegheny. Unfortu
nately for Thomas. the attendant behind
the counter inside noticed the action and
started in pursuit, accompanied by officers
Kingan and Shaffer. They quickly over
took the retreating party, and relieved him
of the articles and of his liberty at the
same time, and Thomas is now in durance
vile in the lock-up, awaiting a hearing on
a charge of larceny, preferred against him
by Mr. Snodgrass.
A Colltdon... , lSoy Injured.
Yesterday evening a son of Mr. John
Craytom of Allegheny was seriously in
jured under the following circumstances.
He was driving a one horse barouche in
which were seated his two' sisters, along
the road near the toll gate at the head of
Federal street when. by some reason the
vehicle came in contact with &wagon corn
ing from an opposite direction. The
barouche-was upset, and the occupants
thrown to the ground. The boy had one
of his legs broken and was otherwise seri
ously injured by the force of the fall. The
girls suffered several severe bruises but
are not dangerously hurt. They were all
conveyed to their residence an Federal
street, and a physician summoned who at
tended to their injuries'.
Alleged Thief.
A pair of pants and a vest the property of
Thomas Trainer in company with about
one hundred and fifty dollars disappeared
very mysteriously from Thomas' boarding
house on Webster street yesterday evening
and from certain circumstances he believios
that a fellow boarder named Patrlek 8.,
Flemings could if he would, tell where the
missing articles are at present located. iit
is alleged that Patrick for some reason
failed to go to work but loitered round the
house all day:- In the evening about six
o'clock it is said he was seen in Thomas'
room, where the articles of clothing were
lyiug on a bed. Afterwards money and
articles were gone and nothing has been
heard from Patrick since, which circuit
stances aiming together seemed rather
strange. 1 A warrant has been issued and
the officers are in search of the missing
man.

The brignanal "J. N. !—ile Still 'Assumes
the Pressure and Patiently' Awaits the
.Lifting of the: Veil. -
The immortal "J. N.,"-the great philoso
ph-
er and martyr, on whose broad shoulders
rest the,grave responsibilities of lifting the
Veil which now darkens the intellect of
America, and of assuming the pressure, at
least umil such time as his mission on earth
shall have been accomplished, paid our
sanctum a visit yesterday. The writer,
who he has assured in the golden elo
quence of his soul that the veil must be
lifted ere long from his eyes, unfortunately
was not •in to receive his distinguished
philosophical Mend, but received the fol-
lowing communication, the original of
which will be treasured as an autographic
gem worth its weight in diamonds, for
"J. N.'s" mission will soon be accom
plished, and when the veil has licen lifted
and he has passed away from this mun
dane sphere millions may sing his praise
and marvel how he alone assumed the
pressure without a murmuring word. But
here is the Philosopher and Martyr's letter: ,
M dear Friend: I passed through Pitts
b h to-de*. on my way to Cleveland,
wh eI. wilt assiime the pressure ana li ft the
vet I will visit you in a few weeks hence
an once more li ft the veil which appears
to ushrciud my travels. I ignore . politics
en r ely, for no person can be a lover of
tr h a dat the' same time be identified
aid
wi patty prejudice. He must look at
tr h a truth Is. Under no circumstances
co d I have voted with' either party, or
du ng,tha continuance of the , war fought
in he ranks of either army. Holding the
gr at truth alone, assuming myself the
pressure, becoming a martyr to thesum
rounding prejudices on all sides, I stood
without a friend to believe that I was sole
custodian of the great secret and touch
stone of peace, or held the key to harmony
and union. The day is not far distant when
all will think as I do, or at least that I dis
charged my duty to my country and the
people in acting as a martyr to their pre
udices.
I have just returned from a visit to Gen.
R. E. Lee, who I met at the Warm Springs,
Virginia. He now agrees with me that my
position is the correct one; says he no
longer entertains 'prejudice against the
Northern people; thinks they did right as
patriots in fighting the South from their
standpoint, though - he was a rebel,—so
much for the lifting of the veil from his
vision. Now 4f Gen. Grant can feel the
same way from a Northern standpoint then
the grand truth I alone hold will be devel
oped and recognized,' that both armies
fought through patriotism and as patriots,
each misunderstanding the motives of the
other. Both right, both wrong. The
North that the South rebelled; the South
that the North invaded. The veil envel
oped them all. I assumed the pressure
and the truth is about to burst Path radient
with beauty and my great mission of self
niartyr is nigh an end. I speak at Altoona
' on the 15th inst. Respectfully, "J, N."

The well-known establishment of Mr.

is justly celebrated for its superioAppoint

parties, banquets, festivals, st.c., on the
most approved style , of the - confection art.
The most artistic, elaborate designs, gotten
up by the best workmen in the trade, are
supplied ( to order with quick dispatch.
The elegant banquets on several public oc

munity have been pronounced by well
traveled people eqiial in style and taste to
any other city in the country. The house
was established in 1824,, and has always
been held in high estimation. Residents
of any standing are familiar with this-"in
stitution," and recent comers need only to
be assured that the best in the trade can be.
obtained at this place. '
For years, commenced at the urgent soli
citation of numerous customers, Mr. Hu
bley has had a department in the establish
ment for supplying meals to order, com
prising the delicacies of the season, gotten
up In elegantstyle. The orderly manner
in which it is conducted, and the attention
of the waiter", has attracted very select
custom. • In a word, the cui-aine depart

made for ladies and families to dine, in a
quiet retired department, which is highly
appreciated by a large nan.ber of the fair
ones out shopping, and by the elite living
in the beautiful villas and palatial residen

The Simonton Robbery.
On or about the twelfth of July last the
jewelry store of Mr. Simonton, on Liberty
street, was entered by burglars, and goods
to the amount 011100 taken therefrom.
The circumstances connected with tlie af
fair were published indetail. and it was
also stated that the police had the matter
in hand and were ",working it up." ' The
case, it appears, was entrusted to officers
Moon and Irwin, both energetic and effici
ent officers. l and they have in a great mess
ure been successful. As Mr. Simonton was
unable to give'a definite description of any
of the articles stolen, and the thieves hav
ing most effectively covered their Astraeka,!
the'officers_ had , very little to work upon.
They set themselves diligently to work,
however, and by some means got a clew to
one piece of the' ewelry which they ob
tained, and through it recovered a large
portion of what had been stolen, captured
one of the thieves, and will probably take
the other this morning: The job was a
difficult one, as the, jewelry was scattered
promiscuously through the city, and a por
tion of it was recovered in Allegheny, and a
I great portion of IV ont i piece at a place;•
"Most of that recovered was in the posses

one of the frail creatures was stopped on the

Accidental Poisonizig--Wikrzow Escape.
The family . of . Mr. Carrell 'Koine, resid
ing on Troy Hill, Allegheny, were acciden
tally poisoned on Thursday evening, the
effect of which would have been very se
rious, but for the timely =rival of medical
assistance.
The circumstances of the case, as near es
we could gather them, are about as follows:
.
A few days ago Mrs. Kotzue purchased a
small quantity of arsenic for the purpose
of poisoning the rats which had troubled
' her about the house. Bringing the arsenic
home she mixed it with some ground glass
and placed it on a, beam or rafter in the •
kitchen ceiling. By some misthought, it
seems, the poison was placed directly over
the table from which the. framily pa. took
their meals. On the evening in question
Mrs. Kotzne cooked the supper as usual,
preparing some of the food used on the tk
ble under the poison.
In the evening after eating the meal Mr.
Kotzue and one of the children, a little
girl, became ve sick, and from the symp•
toms manifested t was supposed that they
had been poiso ed. A physician, whose
name we failed learn, was summoned
immediately an - administered the proper
'remedies, undo which the patients began
to revive.,
Mr. Kotzue as almost restored yester
day, and was able to be - about, but the
little girl, although somewhat improved,
is still suffering from the effects. It is sup
posed that some of the poison was shaken
from the rafters down upon the table, and
by this means became mixed among the
food. It seems strange , that none of. the
1 2
family but thet wo named should have felt
the effect, but t is is partly explained by
the fact both of hem seemed to be specially
hungry that evening and ate more,heartily
than usual of the food prepared.
This is but another warning kor persons
who keep poison around the house for any
purpose to have more care, for carelessness
in this respect is nothing leas than criminal.

In no community elsewhere is the subject
of life insurance better understood or more
thoroughly appreciated than in Pittsburgh.
It has long• been a matter of surprise that
the Atlantic Mutual Company, of Albany,
New York, one the very safest and beat
in the country, and one which commends
itself to the public in a thousand ways,
should have no branch office in this city, in
order that our citizens might take advan

The Hydraulic Cow Hliker.
The present 'century has produced few
inventions of more genuine and' lasting
value, or wide spread utility. than the
Hydraulic Cow Milker. Crowds of per
sons are calling daily at the Company's
Branch Office in this city, No. lo Bt. Clair
street, for the purpose of examing this in
vention, and all are amazed that a discov
ery at once so simple and effective should
not have been made long .ago. , To every
farm and dairy in the country these ma
chines will become as indispensible , as
°burns or milk pails in less than a .year,
and their ,sale must soon become a very
large profitable business throughout the
United States.—Commerekil.

Most Bitters of the present day that are
loudly pulled through' the newspapers as
having great curative' properties are vile
compounds andl*sa impositions, oontain
illft rto - modtoiai vhines whatever, and are
"really: very POOl7 vftiltiliy beverages, and,
instead of acting as a Minuilant #nd tonic,
have a tendendy to weaken the stomach by
• entirely destroying the elating. The public
should therefore be very cautious and pur
chase none-but Robaek's Stomach Bitters,
which have stood the test as a remedial
agent fat many years,' and are really as
their name 'inemtes, a stomach bitters and
not a , beverage. They combine the prom
ties of the best tonic and a stimulan
laxative ' an efficient and anti-billous agent
and the best 'tameable known Lathe world.
and When taken in conjunction with ...go
back's Blood Pills, are the safest and surest
preventive against all bilious derangements,
tbdrenghly regtilating the whole system
and4Ovltig tone to the digestive organs.
They' are highly recommended as an in
vifforating tonhs to Mothers while nursing,
increasing , the flow of milk, and for -ccmva

always follows longoontinued sickness,

The Mayoralty-als it too Late to do Good 1••••
Is lt not Early Enough to belect a Good
- Man fur our Candidate t
MESSRS. EDITORS:—Is it ever too late to I
do good ? It is not, either in religion or
politics, and yet the only word of objection
raised against James Robb, the represen
tative coming fresh from the people, is that
"it is too late," that he should have been
earlier in the field to secure success. If
Mr. Robb were a politician, a ringleader.or
clique manipulator it might with "consis
tency be urged that he entered the field too
late; but be fills none of these positiond.
He was sought out by men who are not
politicians, who trusted for his nomination
on the good sense of the people who are not
identified with the trickery of polities. He
is the best and strongest man in the field
and let none be entrapped into voting
against him on the ground that be was put
forward too late. It is not too late to cast
your vote for a good man up to the moment
the polls close. Will you improve time and
vote for him? 'VIGILANCE.

Catarrh Had Reduced Him in Weight to
141 Pounds, and That Under Proper
Treatment Be Has Been Relieved of the
Distress,'and Has Gained Twenty-two
Pounds, Now Weighing . 163 Pounds.
I certify that I had been dangerously af
flicted with chronic catarrh of the head,
which reduced me in weight to 151 pounds;
I tried several physicians without avail,
and had lost nearly all hope of ever being
cured, or even receiving any benefit, being
frequently confined to bed for six weeks at
a time. I was induced to apply to Dr.
Abom ' of 134 Smithfield street, on the 24th
of March last; and it affords me great pleas
nre to state that I have been constantly
gaining since I placed myself under the.
Doctors skillful treatment, and have gain

indeed, I. look and feel like a new being,
many of my:friends scarcely 'recognizing
me, such a marvelous change having been
