Right Rev. Rev. Bishop Dorneneo officiated and preached an able and eloquent sermon, Several Catholic societies were in attend ance from the city; accompanied by a brass band and marshaled by our esteemed fel low citizen Dr. Geo. H. Keyser. I=l On Monday Next.—R. Stockett Matthews is announced to speak in the. City Hall on Monday evening, Octobcr 12th? This intel ligence will be appreciated, inasmuch as considerable disappointment was experi enced because of the failure of that gentle man to fulfill an engagement at the Dia mond in Allegheny, on Saturday- evening last, owing to the illness of his wife. There is no doubt of his, being present, and we can safely predict a large meeting of citi zens present to greet him. Remains Found. —The remains of Alex ander Mars, late Captain of the steamer Baltic, notice of whose death from acci dental drowning has already been pub fished,: were fished up on Friday last in the Ohio river. a short distance 'below Cincin nati. They were in such a' decomposed con dition as to defy all efforts' at identification, the pants alone serving to effect that object. His friends brought them to his late resi dence in Baden, Beaver county, where they were buried on Saturday last. Probable Fatal Accident.--A man, whose name we were unable to learn, while in an intoxicated condition, on Sabbath after noon, fell over the bridge crossing Char tiers Creek, about two miles from the city, receiving injuries which will doubtless prove fatal. He was conveyed to/Mercy Hospital. He complains of his hack and 'wk. The physician. in attendance pro nounces him in a very critical condition, and expresses the opinion that he will not survive many hours. A bottle containing whisky was found near where he fell. Opera House.—The attractions at this place of amusement for the week are of a more solid character thari - those of the week just closed. The services of Mr. Mark Smith, the distinguished comedian, have been secured, and that gentleman appears this evening as Sir Peter in the "School for Scandal." Mi. Smith has a national repu tation as a first-class actor, and we hdve no doubt the rendition of the part he as sumes will be highly acceptable. The Stock Company is excellent, and the play all through will be produced in good style. Detective Commitment.—George Bishop, committed a feed days ago by Alderman Irwin, of the Twelfth (old Ninth) ward, on a charge of larceny by bailee. was re leased on the ground of a very trifling de fect in the commitment, viz: the constable is charged to deliver the body of George Bishop to the keeper of the Indiana county jail, instead of the warden of the jail of this county. The very trifling omis sion of the name of the prosecutor adds to the defective character of the commitment. The attorney for Bishop presented the commitment to Court on Saturday last, and-asked the release of his client, which was ordered by Judge Sterrett. In FridaVe paper we published an ac count of a confidence game practiced cm Mr. Samuel Sawyer. Our reporter made more of the circumstance than he would have done had he known the high position and standing of Rev. Samuel Sawyer, w was made to figure so largely in it. The gentleman's confidence was in large meas ure abused by the man who borrowed the money from him, but he made the loan lin charity and does not feel that be was guilty of any great lack of discretion in even helping a bad man in distress. We are very sorry that the article found its way into our columns, believing that it fur nished the particulars of an affair which should have been private. In a Paneful Spirit Jerry Driscoll, who keeps a tavern at 21 Webster street, had his door forced open, several panes in the clOor sash and also in the window sash broken, early on Sunday morning, by John M'Carthy. John NMI re fused admission and resorted to villence to, accomplish that which he failed to effect by gentle coaxing and persuasion. Dris coll preferred a charge of malicious mis chief against M'Carthy before Mayor Blackmore, who issued a warrant for the boisterous John. He has not yet been ar rested. , Death of an Old River Pilot: Mr. Tames H. Jones, a well-known citi zen and pilot on these rivere, died very suddenly at his residence in Birmingham, on Friday, from apoplexy. While on duty at his post in the pilot house, on Thursday, he was overcome by a peculiar sensation, and almost unconsciously he pulled the bell rope, stopping the engine. The par ties below not knowing the cause of deten tion, hurried up and fouud the unfortunate man partially unconscious, ono side of his body <being entirely paralyzed. He I was taken to his residence, and on Friday, had another attack, which resulted fatally. The deceased was well known, particularly among river men, and his death will occa sion considerable regret. Re was buried yesterday afternoon, a large concourse of persons following his remains to their last resting place. The Allegheny , Horse Thieves. We have already referred to the arrest of a man named Edward Nau, charged with stealing a horse belonging to Mr. T. G. Smith,;from his pasture field, on Wednes day night last. From information com municated by Nan to officer Bowden, it was ascertained that two other parties, named Mail and Shively, were concerned in the theft. The officers succeeded in ar resting Mail late on Saturday night, and learned from him that the stolen horse had been sold to a man named Niel Diamond, receiving another horse and a cow In ex change therefor. The, animal of Mr. Smith has been recovered, as is also the horse and cow of Mr. Diamond. Mall and Nau are both in durance in the Allegheny lock-up, and will have a hearing before His Honor, Mayor Drum, this morning. Shively is still at large, but will doubtless be arrested. What Is Proposed. Our sister city Republicans have entered upon . the work determinedly to have a grand closing demonstration prior to the Oetober election. With a view of creating, a rivalry among the different'clubs, a cost ly silk flag is to be presented to the largest equipped organization, participating In the demonstration, all clubs from any quarter of:the country_ being : ffiTileged and invited to coMpete. The flag is being gotten up by the ladies of Allegheny, -who never do things by halves, and the -success of the affair is only a matter of time. IL has been further suggested, if practioable, to have the procession some time this week, in or der that the formal presentation ofj the flag to the banner club can take place at the Rink, on Monday evening, - and beil the oc casion of a general jollification, at which the Republican ladies could be present. The programme is not well defined, but the presumption Is, as we have stated, I that in stead of ono there will be two demonstra tions. 1 PITTSBURGH - GAZETTE • -MONDAY, ELECTION. FILMS.

"JOHN COVODE, Sworn to and subscribed before me this 3d day of October, 1865. A. S. tin:not-sox, Alderman. Testimonial to a IVurthy Gentleman. Quite a pleasant affair came off a few evenings since at the Locomotive Works, Beaver avenue, Allegheny '(formerly Man chester), in the office of the Engineer and Superintendent, Mr. Thatcher Perkins. This gentleman having'resigned his posi tion, to take effect September 30th, in order to accept a responsible position on a South ern road, upon the evening in question. when making his usual evening visit to the works, was coinnletely" surprised to find his office occupied by about thirty of the employes awaiting bin in perfect silence. Mr. 'Robert Weaver arse and in a very appropriate speech presented Mr. Perkins with a set of amethyst uleevO buttons, each button having twelve diamonds, and an elegant amethyst finger ring,which for ele gance of design and beauty are unsurpass ed in the city and do great credit to the good taste and liberality of the donors.

Republican Rallies On Saturday evening , last, a very large and spirited Republican meeting was held at John O'Neill's Coal Works, Pine Run, Jefferson township. There were Tully live hundred present, and altogether the meet ing was ono of the largest and most enthu siastic ever held in that township. Able and argumentative addresses were made by our felloW townsmen, Junes W. Murray and Thomas Howard, .Esq. A delegation of one hundred Tanners from Elizabeth accompanied by an excellent martial band, wore in attendance, corning In a steamboat especially chartered for the occasion. A glee club sung several patriotic airs, after which the meeting adjourned with three. cheers for Grant and Colfax.

Collision on the Panhandle Rafiroad—A Conductor Kllied--Locomotive and Cars Demolished. A. terrible railroad collision , occurred on Friday evening about half-past nine o'clock, on the Panhandle Railroad at New Market Station, Ohio, one hundred miles west of this city. It seems that the express train, Consisting of two passenger and two sleep ing coaches, and one baggage and one ex press car, left th Union Depot at 2:35 P. m g Under charge Conductor P. K. Benner, the train being ell filled with passengers i i and arriving n time .at New Market. By orders the t in was to lay over at New Market until 9:38 P. at. At the expiration of that time, it started on its way, and had proceeded about a mile west of the elation when the Eastward bound freight train came around the curve at the usual rate of speed... Both engineers immediately re versed their engines, whistled down brakes, and _then jumped off,, the distance intervening between the trains be ing too short to prevent the collision. The engines came together with terrible force, completely wrecking them and crushing several of the cars. The baggage and ex press cars were considerably smashed, while the pass nger cars shared the same fate. The firs sleeping coach was also crushed and br3ken, one of the passenger coaches having been forced through it, a distance of nearly four feet in the forward end. Just previous to the collision, conductor Benner had gone into the forward sleeping coach, and when the engine whistled "down brakes," he ran out on the platform and was in the act of setting the brake when the collision occurred. Be was dis covered afterwards with his body partially forced through a window, both his legs caught 'between the platforms, and ter ribly crushed, and the whole body, so tightly wedged in by the surrounding timbers and iron rods as to consume nearly an hour in extricating it from the net work. As soon as he was taken out, he - was conveyed to, a neighbor's house, and medical aid summoned. Though terribly mangled, it was thought at first sight that he would survive the injuries, but all hopes in this direction pr6ved delusive, death ensuing on Saturday mornir.; at eight o'clock, consciousness remaining 1 until the last. The deceased was one of the oldest conductors on the road, was a resi dent of Steubenville, and leaves a wife and family. • , None of the passengers on the train were injured,. although both passenger and sleep ing coaches were well filled, all one of them, more or less being damaged, with 1 the exception of that in the rear. The engines were completely wrecked, and jammed together in such a manner as to be unoistinguishable. The freight train which was filled with stock also suffered considerably, three of the cars contain ing hogs and cattle being demolished, and between thirty and forty hogs and several head of cattle killed. The cause of the collision is not at pres ent writing known, but an investigation of the affair has been ordered. --- --....-- ' THE COURTS. Court of Quarter Seat , lons. - (Before Judge S errett.) The business in this Court on Saturday morning, was generally of an unimportant character. We note the following: Thos. McCaflrey, confined in jail for several iweeks, for surety, ou complaint of his wife, 'was discharged on payment of costs. A motion for a new trial was made in the case of officer Rabbi), who was convicted of brutally assaulting Mrs. Dr. Dake. The motion takes its place on theargument list. George Stackoner, who plead guilty on Friday afternoon lust, to three charges of selling liquor without license, was sen tenced to pay a tine of fifty dollars and costs, on one indictment, Ilia Honor Judge Sterrett remarking that he would reserve sentencing him on the other two charges until a future period. Judge Mellon announced that the cases op the trial list as published in the city papers 'on Saturday would be takon.up on Monday in their order.

A large and enthusiastic meeting of the Republicans of North Fayette and Findley townships was held at McHenry's mill, on Wednesday evening, Sept. 30th. Not only did the voters turn out in their might. but the ladies were there in large numbers to cheer and encourage with their smiles. We noticed several Democrats amongst the audience, who listened attentively to the telling remarks of the speakers. 'lt is a well known fact that there are many waver ing Democrats in this neighborhood, and as the speeches were bold, strong and convin cing, it is thought the Democrats who were present will come outa.nd join in the glori ous fight for Gratt and Colfax. The meeting was.addressed by Thomas Ewing and Jacob H. Miller, Esc's., both of whom made able and elegant speeches. They spoke on the different issues of the campaign and were often loudly applauded. The chairman, Mr. Robert McLaren, at the close thanked the audience for their -good order and close attention, after which the meeting adjdurned with three thunder ing cheers for Grant and Colfax. The people of Fayette and Findley townships are fully aroused, their enthusi asm is unbounded, and they are working with a determination to roll up a heavy vote for Grant, Colfax and the entire Repub• lican ticket. In this connection it might be mentioned that, there will be a grand mass Convention at Clinton, on Thursday, Oct. Bth. Large delegations will be present froin the sur rounding townships and from Beaver and Washington counties. 15 to 25 Per Cent. The immense stock of hats, caps and ladies furs, at the great first class establish ment of William Flemieg, has been select ed with the greatest care from the leading manufacturer's of the country, and a great portion of it made to order for the exclu sive- trade of this popular and extensive House. It is of the best material, made in all the newest styles, and has been marked down to but a slight advance on the manu facturers cost. The business of this house has, from long experienee, been so system atized that all, purchasers save from fifteen to twenty-five per cent. upon their bills., The attention of the ladies is directed par ticularly to the extensive stock of plain and fancy furs, consisting in part of Hudson Bay Sable, Mink Sable, Siberian Squirrel, German Fitch, French and German Sables, all made In the latest styles of Bads, En genies, Collars, Berthas, Guys excelsior patent and ordinary mcffs. Those who buy early, in addition to securing the very best selection. will also buy at much less prices than if they delay later,in the season. Country merchants who ,consult their own interests .will not fail to call at Flem ing's and examine the tinely - assorted and complete stock presented in the wholesale departments.

The Republican ladies of the Second ward, Allegheny, formally presented the Grant and Colfax club of that ward withi a magnificent silk flag on Saturday evening. The club was out in full force and paraded through several of the streets, presenting really a handsome appearance." The style of equipment is bronze colored cap and cape, with musket torches. The elubl is commanded by'Captain John Barker. The Seoond Ward Junior Republicans, composed of boys ranging from ten to fifteen years, and numbering about ninety. !Wowed in the rear.

WI, at 7 1 4 o'clock. A. O. McCANDLEss, Chairman. Rupture of the Bowels. There is no more serious disturbance to human health, or danger to human life, than that of hernia or rupture;' and we are con tinually seeing in the newspapers reports of cases which have terminated fatally, and which neeit not be so if timely attention were given to its earlier symptoms. There need be no danger from rupture, or falling of the bowels, if the first appearance were given heed to. Every afflicted man knoWs this as well as we do, and as guardians in a measure of what usually contributes to the general health or the welfare of the com munity, we take pleasure in directing at tention to an establishment where all such ills are properly and scientifically ca - for. We do this uch out of a consid eration for the pubalis m c good as we do for the benefit of the gentleman to whom we refer, -and we know full well that there are thous ands of sufferers throtighout the country who will kindly thank us for our informs , tion. The establishment of Dr. KEYSER, t AT 140 WOOD STREET, AND THE CON SULTATION ROOMS OF THAT GEN TLEMAN AT 120 PENN STREET, are provided with every appliance appropriate for hernia, as well as for other ailments re quiring mechanical remedies. The Doctor has for many years past given almbst ex clusive attention to the treatment of chronic diseases of a n . obstinate character, and has established for himself a fame and reputa tion worthy of the great labor he has be.- stowed upon the subject. At the time Dr. Keyser established his office for the treat ment of chronic diseases, there. seemed to bo a great need for such an institution, and his many published and still more unpub lished cures, are abundant evidence of the good he is doing in behalf of a class of suf ferers, whose ailments they were taught to believe were irremediable and without hope.
