ed at noon and foundiJames departed. An
overcoat, silver watch, two shirts and a pair
of pants,all belonging to William anilyal
ued at PO, disappeared simultaneously
with the departure of Jaines, hence Wil
liam naturally concluded that James had
taken them away with him, perhaps by
mistake- The Allegheny police have been
notified of the circumstance and are on the
lookout for Janicis. It is quite likely that
they will be on.the lookout;for some time
as their man is supposed to have left I bis"
vicinity altogether:
“The Pennsylvania Dutch.”

Amusement Inrectory.
OiEBA RousE.—The attendance at the
Opera House was not so large last night
as it has been during the past week, yet the
audience was a very fair one; so far as num
bars was concerned. The inimitable Chan

tajned four characters. To-night the enter
taim hent will consist of me "Hid den
Hand," with the Deserted Dutchman as the
afterpiece.

Her "Mazeppa" is unapproachable.
VABIETLES.—The Varieties Theatre con

useful articles adorn the different tables, an d

4The arrangements in tho line of edibles are
'perfect, and a dinner and supper will be
served every day, which, if those of vester

to appease the moat exacting epicurean On
:Thanksgiving day a grand dinner will be
prepared, and those of our readers who de

a praiseworthy cause, should endeavor to
be in attendance at that time.
paring Robbery—A mail Bag Stolen.
A. transaction took place yesterday even
ing' between six and seven o'clock, in the
upper end of Temperanceville, of a very
bold and daring character. •
The cross mail from this city to Steuben
vllle is carried on 'horseback by the way of
,the Steubenville pike, and yesterday even

took:the mail bag from the horse and made
their/ escipe up the hill. ' The mail carrier
followed them for some distance, but lost
them in the dceknett:. He then came to
the city and reported his loss.

of Art.
I Encouragem ent
It is a well knownr! that Europeans arse _
generally impremed with the idea that
Amar* . ana hava a false: taste_in all highly
'finishedor decorative works Produced by
,
alskilledartizans, and .; they cater; - when at
I
work for the American market, to what
I
they consider the popular demand, by
offering us works of a gaudy , and . Mere- -
tricions style, rather than of the purest
and btat examples of art or `workmanship.
The• fact is so Well known to our largest im
porters, that when any article of excellence
1
is demanded, they place particular stress
Upon th order, and oven then they do not
3
always ucceed in obtaining a first-class
article. The inconsistency of the American
people is illustrated in their' peculiar
method of encouraging art. They deny the
ability Of the American artisan to produce
work exhibiting rare skill and taste, aud at
the same time import inferior:articles. • If
they are really honest it is their duty to
enconrage native skill and talent. As long
as theyprefer foreign manufactures to home
productions they Should not depreciate
American manufactures. If they do not
appreciate American art, they need not
"vrosder if it languighea. fortunately, how
ever; there is a limit to e v en this disposition
so common to a large class of our people.
They cannot import lakes, fields or dwel
lings. In the matter of architecture they
are compelled either to copy , or originate.
In this we have succeeded so well that a
celebrated . English writer, speaking of the
public and private buildings in New York
and I Philadelphia, the ' oinion
that they exceeded inexpressed
beauty and ele p gance
the' finest - buildings in . England. In
church architecture, . especially, and in_
church appointments we have made won
derful strides . Perhaps nothing in the
way of art adds more to the interior beauty
of a', church than richly stained glass. Yet
even here we have accomplished wonders.
A quarter of a century ago few church ed
ifices in the country boasted stained win-
dows. Now they are everywhere to be seen.
In time this art bids fair to flourish in,
Atherica as it-has flourished in the oldest
cities of Europe. Utilitarians will see noth
ing; commendable in thig. Those who are
interested in the art, however, cannot fall
to welcome the new order of things. And
to
There can be nothing more certain than the
fact that / with every new design, with every
now demand for an article requiring rare
skill, taste and Judgment, the chances are_
thit the artisan will find himself taxed to
keep pace with the improvements sought
after by the public. Whoever gratifies his
taste by securing a specimen of art that
quires the study and reflection of the arti
san contributes directly to art. This is,
in
fact, the practibal encouragement of art.
That the mass of the Ameriean people are
diSposed to view the matter in the same
light we need only adduce the experience
of( a single establishment of this city.
Messrs. Page, Zellers & Duff, proprietors of
the t American Glass Works, have made ex
te sive preparations for the' produCtion of
a• rge amount of stained, enameled and
greund glass. ; Coniblning glom making
with glass staining, employing experienced
workingmen, and Cully determined to ex
cel, they have achieVed, in the short space
of) a year. a reputation second , to none in
the country.' They invite attention to the
n4iele made in the American Glass Works,
folly satigfiesi that it will bear favorable 1
critnparlsou with anything manufactured
in England. Parties interested- in public
buildings, especially church' edifices, are
idvited to examine their stained and eham-'
clod glass. - •
iliessrs. Page, Zellers & Duff are; also
largoly engaged_ in' the manufacture of
oval, square and round glass', shades for
ficiwers, wax-fruit, &c. These shades are
admirably proportioned, and as clear as

Good News for the Afflicted
Dr. Robert HUnter, a physician and an.

Printer's Ink—A Good Article.
The ink with which this issue of the Re
pubitiean is printed is from the Grey's Ferry
Printingink works of C. B. Robinson. It
is clean, flows freely, and is of a good color.
Our brother printers can judge of its qual
ity by comparing it with ink from other
mantifactories.—The Delaware County Be
publican.
From the,: Delaware Gazelle: To Prtiw-
TXRS—We have been using for several
weeks' a very fine quality of ink from the
Gray's Ferry manufactory of Charles E.
Robinson, which our Pressmen say is the
best for cylinder press news Work that they
have used - for a• long time. It is a. clear
black and free from all kind of sediment.
Mr. Robinson is a practical ink manufactu
rer;-liberal and courteous in all business
transactions, and as he has recently had
the misforttme to be burned out, we are the
more free to recommend his ink and hilt
self to the patronage of all printers who
desire 'a good article at very cheap
Address No. 521 Minor street, Philadelphia.
One of our cotemporaries ‘ also recom
mends it as follows:
PINE PRINTING Ixic..—We have for some
time been using the. News Ink manufac
tured at Gray's . Ferry Printing Lilt Works,
Philadelphia, by C. E. Robinson,' and, as
stated some weeks ago, havelound it better
adapted to our presses than any ink we
have had in our omce•for ten years. It is
not only a very excellent article of Ink but
it is furnished at very reasonable prices.
The Works also manufacture Black and
Colored Printing and Lithographic Inks,
Varnishes, etc. Their address , is Gray's
Ferry Ro ad and* Thirty-third street, and
No. 621 Minor street.--Hagerstown <Herald.'
We never recommend an article in these
columns unless it really merits it, and to
learn whether our own opinion of the Ink
the Tax-payer is now using coincided with
ouvsressman's, we' inquired his estimate.
He replied: "Good, very good;" and as we
never knew him to deviate from the truth,
we inform our fellow-printers that this was
said of Robinson's Philadelphia Printing
Ink.--Froin the Tctsc-payei, New York.
Great Bargains=Ladleg Furs. ,
The great bargains daily obtained by pur
chasers' of Ladies' Furs at the fir St-class
house of William Pleming, No. 139 Wood
street, keep the commodious sales-rooms
throaged with customers, and tax the
fullest energy of the large corps of gentle
manly and courteous salesmen in constant
attendance. The choice, richness, variety
and immensity of the stock carried by this
house excites the wonder of cotemporary
tablishments, while e exceedingly low
prices form this theme for household con
versation In all these parts. No other es
tablishment in the same line of trade in this
city attempts to keep so large a stock on
hand, nor does any offer such a well select
ed variety from the lowest grades up to the
very highest. It is certainly a novelty that
a purchaser can for ten dollars, procure a
set of fashionable furs, both beautiful and
comfortable, or for much more money, at
the same establishment, procure the finest
the market produces; such, for instance, as
the ,rich Hudson Bay. or luxurious Mink
Sable. The cardinal principle of represent-
Ing no goods .in any - other manner than
justifiable by the quality, has won for the,
house an enviable popularity and .public
confidence. It is the universal and out
spoken opinion on all sides that at this em
porium wholesale and retail buyers save
from fifteen to twenty-five per cent. in all
their purchases, while they enjoy the great
advantage of 'making .selections from the
largest and finest stock in the city.
