ded, Mr. Clark having been recalled to his
present charge. We congratulate the First•
Church in being able to retain him, as his
success among them during the past two
years has proved his- efficiency as a Gospel
minister.
Such occurrences as the above are indi
cations of better times coming. Denomi
national calls are crumbling down, and they
are acknowledging each other's authority
to preach the Gospel and the validity of
their ordination, and that they belong to the
some grand army of Christ.

Clocker, was struck on the back or n tie
head with a stone and so severely injured

i test accounts, but almost paralyzed, and
I but slight hopes are entertained - of his re
covery. •
,lleath of an Estimable Young Lady .

J. B. Ramsey, died at Uniontown on Mon
day last, after a icing and painful illness.
She was an estimable young lady, of more
than ordinary worth and intelligence. The
possession of a large and gcnerotis heart,
kind and charitable in her disposition and
winning and agreeable in her ways, she'
was ever snrrounded by a large circle of
warm' and appreciative friends. During
her illness She never murmured, but with
the prayer of submission on her lips,
"(;rod's will be donc,” her soul winged its
way to heaven, to dwell forever in the hap
piness of eternity. •

rant was issued.
to Annoying Practiiec
The residents of the Second ward, A HO- '
gheny, in the vicinity of the outer depot of
the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago.
Riilway, have been considerably annoyed
by the shriekingiscreeching noise caused by
engineerS of the Railroad blOwing • the
Whistle.; on their respective locomotives
unneeeSsarily. Yesterday en engineer of
the Cleveland and Erie real, which com
pany shares in the use of the depot, was
tined five dollars by Mayor Druni on coin-
plaint of a citizen in. the neighborhood.
Doubtless .in the future the practice, which
is very annoying, will be stopped, or at
least abated - in a measure to comply with
the ordinance.
Robbery in the Allegheny Illarlset
Mrs. Captain Wm. Dean, while attending
the Allegheny market yesterday morning,
was robbe, of her pocket bo:ik containing
four vahiable rings and about fifteen dol

purchase from a peddler, and after paying
for the articles, started away. She pro
ceeded but a short distance, when she dis
covered her loss, and on repairing to the
spot where she had-made the purchase, the
- peddler and pocket book were I gone.
The rings inclumd a ruby, diamond, topaz
and emerald, the whole worth between
four and five, hundred dollars, and highly
prized as soveneirs. The pocket ho -, k may
have been dropped by the lady, and if so,
perhaps it will be returned. The most
probable supposition is that, the peddler

The Boat Race—No Referee Yet
The conference at the Monongahela House
last evening was pretty much barren of
results. Brown was represented by his
friend Tyler and Coulter by Alexander
Murray. • Several hours were spent in en
deavorieg to agree upon a referee. • The
three gentlemen named by Coulter all
declined to serve, and Mr. Tyler named.
Mr. Colville, of the New York Clipper.
Murray objected, Tyler insisted, and at
length the conference adjourned, to be re
sumed this morning at nine o'clock.
It has been agreed to have the race at
half-past four, inste-.d of between five and
six, as the packets going up at five will
disturb the water too much.
Coul , er has not vet decided on his judges,
but it is probable that Mr. R. C. Elliott will
be one.
Still Another
"The fools are not all dead yet" is a trite,
but nevertheless true, oliservation, in sup
portof which each succeeding day•adds its
numerouS illustrations. The latest of these
which has come within our knowledge, is
that of Joseph Plawch; who was "plucked"
by one of those oily tongued, well dressed,
and respectable appearing chaps whose
chief business is to keep a lookout for
individuals of Josdph's proclivities.
The circumstances of the affair, as related
by the- victim, are as appended : He
had just arrived in the city from Somer
set county, of this State, err route
to Cedar Rapids, lowa. At the Union
Depot he made • the acquaintance of a
very clever, sociable young it an, who,
after learning his destination, remarked
"that he was laound for the same place.
Clever young man said ho had an establish
ment in Cedar Rapids, and was in Pitts
burgh buying goods. The
s goode were up
at the Adams Express Company's depot,
corner of Grant and Seventh streets, and if
his friend would like a walk they would go
up and see about them. No objection be
ing made the two started out, and on arriv
ing at the depot Lhe clever young man went
lu, telling, his friend to wait outside for
him. When he'came out,he was short just
,one hundred and thirty dollars, which
roust be paid before the goods were moved,
and if his friend would lend him the
amount for about half an hour, as soon as
the goods were shipped . he ,• would

money was loaned, and: by direction of

beyond all expectation: The people re

party in times of peace, borrowing
twelve millions of dollars and paving for

lead of Abraham Lincoln, who found the
arsenals robbed, the Treasury empty, and
the country in actual war, without muni
tions or money, borrowing from the people
upon its own bonds all the money it needed
at six per cent., knowing that.the people
hail inere confidence in-the Republican
party in times of War by one-half than in
the Democratic party in times of peace.
Hon. T. M. Marshall followod in ono of
those happy, telling ; speeches that no other
man than he can make. The Democratic
doctrine, "Nigger and Groeacks," was
well illustrated. He said it as "Nigger
as
Broiled, Nigger Stewed, Ni ger Fried,"
and,if they tad a fourth meal it was "Nig
ger Sliced Down Cold," and that Seymour
thought as much of a buck nigger in New
York worth two hundred and fifty - dollars
as he did of a Copperhead, for the nigger
could vote then. Tho Prodigal son. was

preparing for the Fail Trade - - , ;The Whole
sale and Retail Trimming and Notion
Mouse of Joseph ' Horne & Co., 17 and 19
Market Street. -
In preparation for the Fall trade, which
has opened up quite brisk and lively, our
merchants have been strengthening theiiiT
selves with heavy stocks wherewith they
• will be enabled to meet the large demands
which will undoubtedly be made upon
them this season by city and country deal
ers. Trade will no doubt be better during
the forthcoming four months than we have
experienced in the last decade of years, as
the smaller dealers have been purchasing
as little in the past as they could well get
along with, acting on conservative princi
ples in buying and trusting for the markets
i to settle. That point has been reached, and
the prices at which wholesale houses start
this season will hardly be reduced and
probably Increased before the incoming
I year of 1869.
X. I. z
WllO ARE PREPARED
Prominent amongst the houses fully pre
pared for a larger trade is the old and fa
vorably known firm of Joseph 'Tome 4.t.
Co., wholesale and retail dealers in trim
mings. notions, 6:c., Nos. 77 and 79 Mar
ket street. The purchasing of this estab
lishnient for the supply of its large and lin
nually increasing trade has consumed con
siderable time, and is now shout complete
for the opening of trade. The:stock is one ot
the most carefully selected and varied over
opened west of the Allegheny mountains,
and will most certainly meet the require
ments of all dealers who buy to sell again.
The firm have long possessed superior ad
vantages in the purchasing of the goods pe
culiar to their line of business,and are pre
pared to offer home customers induce
ments both in selection and price- which
cannot better be procured in the leading
Eastern trade marts. Buying for cash, and
indarge quantities at a time, the firm ob
tain these advantages which they can afford
to share with their pa roes.
Yesterday we had the plea:mre of look
ing through the various apartments and
found them teeming with goods, and not
withstauding the recent additions made to
their cornmodiouS store facilities, every
room seemed too small for the proper ac
commodation of the immense invoices re
ceived. It is hardly necessary to enumer
ate—hardly possible we might say—the va
rious articles which go to make up the
great extent of goods to be found in Horne
Co's salesrooms; hut we will cite full
lines of real Paris pattern bonnets and hats,
in all the new shapes; ribbons, all shad::s.
No. to CO; French and American flow
ers, roses, buds and leaves, hat and hiciitunet
feathers and.birds, plaid and plain iknmet
velvets, gro de nap, bonnet satins, French
ornaments, frames; ike; Erithreideries, a
large assortment of jacnnet and Ilamhurg
edgings: Insertings and hands of the la
test designs; Handkerchiefs, one of the
largest assortments in the city of hein-st h
ed, emb oidered and plain, lace gouds,.ber

pointe applique lac. , ' lace Muslim for waists,

shawls, o tem hoods, children's knit caps
and sacquest , new style: of dress, and
cloak trimmings, chenille, bullion and
bugle fringe, head trimmings, gimps and
loops; buttons, in great variety; colored
velvet ribbons; "the star shirt," white
and colored; gent's furnishing
. goptis,
neck tics. bons, scarfs, suspenders and
paper collars; notions ord small wares.
Each department Will be found well stocked
with all that is new and novel, and will he
offered at the lowest Eastern prices;.
While wholesale dealers have the am
plest margin allowed them Ctr proti , , the
retail patrons of the house will Ilniportior
ately share in tile reasonable-prices and
unusual choice and variety. The (lei art
ments are all in charge .of acc.tinmudaditt•
clerks, and those v. ishing either to pur
chase or look through th. stock will re
ceive all propor courtesy and to Minion.
tuntry dealers, pedlers anti City mer
chants can rest tit-totietl that they can pur
chase at no pla,te iii the East to itettoz and,
all thins considered. to as got advantage
as at this home establishment.
Immense Bargains—Absolute Sacrifice of
Pittsburgh is rightly excited over the
announcement made that' the immense
stock of fashionable boots, shoes and
gaiters, for men, women and children at
the auction house emporium of H. B.
Smithson S Co., Nos. 55 and 57 Fifth street,
will be exposed for a 1 rief season to a sacri
ficing and absolute sale, as all lines must
be closed out a'. once. The tirm
have reeeived the entire• stock of
an Eastern bankrupt house and are
prepared to oiler such bargains as never
before were heard of in tins' section of
country. The priceS are so low that they
make criminals of those people who refuse
to wear the best boots, shoes and gaiters in
the! market, and after such a season of
chap gods. uo bare-footed urchin should
be seen on the streets. Nor is. this all.
The 1i m, in order to make the sale a suc
cess, have (fete! mined to se:l all the re
ina.nder of their stock-, previous to
the late arrival, at prime cost, and
their cost prices, it must,be remembered,
are away down below - the in , ide cost of
Manufacture. We cannot fully impress on
our readers the great advantages to be ob
tained by patronizing this house during the
continuance ot this extraordinary private
sale. The stock is not old or out of
style, but fresh front the manufacturers,
and in every respect first class.
Country dealers will find that they
can purchase at the Smithsonian
Institute of Great Bargains, Nos. 55 and 57
Fifth street, at prices which they will deem
incredulous. Do not fail to take advantage
of the sale for it is a phenomenon in busi
ness life and may never again barmen. A
visit to the commodious salesrooms and an
inquiry into the prices will convince all
that no whore elso in this country do lower
p ices prevail for such lines of goodand
substantial goods.
