Sunday afternoon was al high-daY . in the - t : Sabbath School of the Presbyterian Chew& 1 . at Shady Side, on the occaron of the Quar terly Meeting of the Missionary Society. The exercises were opened with a volun tary, followed with the 1 reading of the CIII Psalm, singing ,and prayer, by the pastor, Rev. W. T. Beatty The names of the respective - classes were called by the SiaparintendeEt of the School, Mr. Robert Pitcairn, the ell known land popular Su perintendent f the Pennsylvania Railroad, who resides at Shady Side' and their offer ings were handed to theecretary, W. B. • Negley, Esq. About one hundred dollars /i were contributed, which is •the average sui 'usually ,given each quarter. This School supports a missionary among the Freedmen at an expense of three hundred dollars. Major Wm. Frew was then called upon to deliver an address, in which he gave some interesting facts in regard to mission work, interspersing his address with incidents which - came under his ob servation during his late ivisit to Europe and the Holy Land. The Major's long con nection with Sabbath schools enables him to make an address of much interest on this noble cause. The services were inter spersed with stirring vote' music,, with organ accompaniment, under the lead of Mr. Pitcairn. We observed quite a number of our lead ing merchants in the audience, who reside there, among whom were Messrs,4psdph Dilworth, James Hannti; Lowrie Childs, W. O'H. Scully and Mr. Renshaw, grocer, Liberty street. This cherch, under the pastorate of Rev. Mr. Beatty, is enjoying great prosperity,. and the school is an arm of power in the — congregattie and a blessing to the - neighborhood. 1 . Mach good has been accomplished by the perfect system of visitation in practice, both to the congregation_ and the school. Mr. Pitcairn has recently arranged a plan which is really a model for Sunday School visitation, and could be used effectively by Christian Associations: or Bible Societies in the work of exploration. It has been print ed in book form, with directions id suitable form for Use. It is expected the demand for this excellent work will be such ere long as to warrant It being stereotyped, and thus lessen its cost to 4 small sum, say twenty cents per copy. It is so arranged as to give the name of the visitor, and dis trict, size of family, and names and ages of children, and answers to such questions as, "Are Parents professing \ Christians ?" "What are the denominational preferen ces ?" "Will they attend this Church ?" etc. It is the best thing of the kind we have ever seen, and , we hope it may be in troduced in our Sunday Schools and other organizations. I Sudden Death. - - - Mr. Thomas Crawford, a river pilot, re siding near Portsiziouth,l Ohio, died and' denly between five and seven o'clock last night. About five o'clock Mr. Crawford went into the 14 ,Senate Ho n nse," a saloon on Market street, near Tird, and passing through the bar-room, went to the privy in the back yard. The bar-reper having oc casion to go into the back yard some time. afterward, beard some one snoring, but took no account of it until -"about seven o'clock, when a friend ofl Crawford's came In and inquired for him: The bar-keeper then .remembered that he passed through the room some time before, and also recol lected of hearing a man snoring in the privy, and thinking CraWford bad gone in there and fell asleep, the place was visited at once, when/ it was lisoovered that he was dead. Dr . King - was sent for immedi ately, and the man removed to the house, but life, it appeared,-had been extinct for some time, as the body was quite cold and stiff. The Coroner will hold an inquest this morning. Who Islife ! An unknown sman was found yester '\ day afternoon near orie l of the furnaces at ‘Shcenberger's mill lying in the ashes insensible. He was rem o ved to the watch house, where Dr. Rogers was summon ed to attend him. The Doctor could find no external bruises nor any evidence of internal injury, and was of the opinion that the man was starving. His pulse was - exceedingly weak and his breathing very heavy, but there appeared to be no evidence of disease of any kind about barn. The physic - an succeeded In getting Matto swal low a little stimulant, tint there is little hope of his recovery. The man looks to be about thirty years of age and Is unusually clean. He was still hying at twelve o'clock last night. -Since the above was, written we have learned that a bible was found in the man's pocket, with the name Samuel Creelman inscribed upon the fly-leaf.

PITTSBURGH - GAZETTE TITURSSDAY, DEMMER 10,. 1868: The BevillemileM2llllg2 Imbroglio. The last act of the disgraceful and ridic ulous farce, the &vine case, was played at the Mayor's office yesterday evening. The ,parties appeared at three o'clock, the hour 'xed for a hearing, when Mr. Smith, coun sel fa i r the prosecution, stated that he would not offer any evidence, but asked that the defendantS be held to bail for their appear ance at Court, on the informations. Mr. Moreland asked that the prosecutrix be put upon the stand and examined as to the facts setforth in the information. The Mayor replied that he had no power to put the witness on the stand if the pros ecution declined to have her testify. 1 . Mr. Moreland said the defendants were present and desired a hearing. The Mayor'stated that. his usual course in all surety of the peace cases was to hold the parties to hail for their appearance at Court without a hearing. Mr. Moreland asked him if he had de cided to hold the defendants, to which he replied in the affirmative, stating that there had been a good deal of excitement attend ing the case and he wished to get rid of it. The parties were held in three hundred dollars bail to appear - at Court. The action of the Mayor in this case, from the beginning, will add nothing to his reputation as an executive officer, and much lesd to his ability as a jurist. If, as he as serted, it has been his practice to hold the defendants in surety eases to appear at Court on the information alone, and without a hearing, what was the necessity of postpon ing the case from time to time, as was done ! by him, at the instance of the prosecutor ? IP the Mayor would be , governed by his own' judgment, instead of acting under the advice of some of those connected with the office, he would be less likely to err. The case will probably be brought up in Court this morning, consequently we will reserve further comment until after it is disposed of. rkpatriet. the usual hour Thaw vs. Whit found for the was' Christian Holdship on a mortgage. um, of $2,810 49. erchenrother vs. action• on book 4 delivered. - On ge Mellon. ions met at ten Judge Didion public interest will be taken DAY. lint for Thus , Daniel Meenan OPERA.

This was the first step. Next he sold out the aforesaid store and stock, pocketed the proceeds and waited patiently in delightful anticipation of the denouement. It came yesterday. The clothier presented his bill. The aspirant for jail honors laughed in his face. He had' "nodting; no momsh, no goods." He was brought to Alderman Mcklasters' office to answer a charge of fraud. He re fused to give ball for trial and would not al!ow several willing friends to serve him in that capacity. He was anxious to be placed under.

The Fair for fallen women closed last night, after a highly successful and pros perous season. The amount realized will closely approximate $5,000, a sum decidedly creditable to the generosity of our people and flattering to the enterprise, tact and unceasing industry of the ladies having the charitable affair in keeping. Perhaps the largest income will be returned from tne toy stand opened by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Roush, which was conducted in so clever a- manner as to excite on all sides the warmest encomiums of praise for the spirited and charitable couple having charge thereof. The ether booths were equally well managed, and we ' dare say will show handsome returns when, the final reports are made. The christian ladies officiating, as well as those who attended as guests and workers, deserve the heartiest applause for their ef forts, and have evinced a true christian charity which must prove pleasing. in the sight of God. The concert last evening, under the auspices of Prof. LaWton, was, like all the.muaical occasions of that emi nent and philanthropic vocalist, a success, and afforded the liveliest pleasure to all present.lMlss Hattie Jones, a soprano, without sdperibi among our amateurs, con: tributed no littl to the success of the musi cal offering.
