Interesting Meeting at Shady Side.
, .
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

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.

Matthias Blukenblacher wanted" to be sent
to jail. It was his heart's desire. He
would be committed and his wishes were
gratified. "Where there's a will there's a
way.'' His way was this Some time ago
he purchased 07 worth of ready made
clothing from a Liberty street clothier, by
representing that be owned a store, well
stocked, in lAwrenceville. 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. Warden Scandrett's care, and
the kind• hearted magistrate [(ratified his
desire. He Is now whiling_away the
hours amid the pleasurable, acivities and
excitements of jail life.
David Solomon Norris is a professor of
the tonsorial art, and is emploYed in the
establishment of George Washington Cal
low, corner Spring alley and Canal street.
Yesterday a gentleman entered the shop
and placed himself under the care of David
for a shave. After the operation had been
performed the gentleman handed a one
dollar bill to the professor, from.which he
was -to take" his pay and return the
change. There was an insufficient supply
of change in the shop, and David started
out in quest of some. , The, gentleman
waited for a considerable length of time,
but David failed to make his appearance;
and he began tb think himself doubly
shaved. lie went to Alderman Taylor's
and made inforrnation for larceny against
the delinquent; who was found aslort time
after enjoying the hopitalitios and cheer of
a saloon keeper, the aforesaid dollar hav
ing mysteriously disappeared in the mean
time. David Is now reposing in; the county

t lostag of the Fair.
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. The independent booth of
Mrs. general A. L. Pearson, which was
presided over by so many accomplished
young ladies who had gained experience at
tie Soldiers' Fair, realized handsomely.
Fr 9 the untiring energy of Mrs. W.. A. Her
ron, Mrs. McKee, Mrs. Holmes and the
many other ladles taking ant Active part,
not forgetting Mrs. Jane G. Swlsshelm,
t
i l
whose vlgoro pen awakened public in
terest add ay pathy through the secular
and religious ress, the success of the Fair
is atttributed and to them be all honor.

The principal cause of the disaster wairthe
breaking of the screw shaft inside the

ful leak, through which a large volume of
water rushed into the hold. Every attempt
wits made to save that ship, but a strong
gale prevailed at the time, with a heayy
sea, and it was found impossible to atop
the leak.; The steamer was rapidly settling
when the ooats were lowered and the pas
sengers-and crew were all embarked.
Excellent order was maintained by the
ship's officers, who , kept the crew
under complete control and prevented
all panic among the passengers. Two boats
previously reported saved were picked up
by the ship Star of Hope. bound for Aber
deen. The Captain of the Hibernia was •
landed at Sohn 0. Groat's hones.
