been there but a few moments when a
quarrel ensued, during which Schhig was
• cut with aknife. He was also indicted for
a like offense, Thomas Phaff prosecutor.

the saloon at the time, and the too received
a serious wound. The jury returned Ver

• feu eet Improvements,
The improvements in the streets of fr Mi

ing the present year have been far more
extensive than is generally supposed. A
large amount of these improvements, it is'
true, were rendered necessary by the con=f i
solidation of Lawrenceville add the other
districts with the city proper, yet it very
large proportion of the work has been done
On the streets of the old city, aft 'will be
seen by the annexed statement ef streets
graded and paved, and the amount of work
done.

AMUSEMeIItb.
OPERA nous - E.—Miss Maggie Mitchell,
one of the brightest stars in the theatrical
constellation, commenced an engagement
of six nights at the Opera House, last night,
'and the reception tendered her was a most
'fiattering4ne and plainly indicates talent,
• such as shesses, is fully appreciated
in Pittsbur ggh. The house was filled with
a select audience,' and Miss Mitchell in
"Fanchon, the Cricket," fully sustains the
high reputation she enjoys. In this char
acter she excels all others who have ever
attempted in fact, she has no-rival in it.
She was most admirablysuPported through
out the piece. "Fanchon" will be repeated
to-night.
VABizirtzs.—"The Way of the World,"
the local sensational drama now occupying
the boards at Trimble's Varieties, is draw
ing immense houses.- It is full of local hits,'
and the scenery has been prepared with
great awe. Everybody should see it.
Tan MUSEUM.—Curiosities in almost
every department of nature and art, living
and dead, are on exhibition and can be seen
at the Museum, Fifth avenue, every day,
by the amusement seeker. Major Burnell
always keeps abreast of the times, as is
evidenced in the management of his well
known establishment. The Museum re
mains open every day from eight o'clock in
the morning until ten at night, and doubt
ers can see for themselves.
ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—My. W. C. Smythe,
who but recently returned from a tour in
the Old World, will enlighten the people on
this siderof the water as to the !manners and
customs of the people on the other side, in
a lecture at the Academy of Music this
evening, entitled "Across the Atlantic," in
which he will discourse of Ireland and the
Irish, and England and the English. Mr.
S. is a close observe:, and possesses a fund
of humor, -based upon good sense and gen
eral infOrmation, all essential= chara2teris
tics of the successful lecturer. The lecture
will doubtless prove interesting, and we
anticipate a full house.
PAILEPA. To-morrow evening Parepa
Rosa. the "queen of song," assisted by a
troupe of artistes, will give one of her
grand concerts at the Academy of Music.
The sale of seats took place at Mellor's
music store yesterday 'mornirqd and in a
very few minutes every seat in the house
was disposed of. Those who were not
present will consequently have to be con
tent with "standing room." -
ST. BRIDGET'S Fats.—Every fifteen min
utes one of the Wylie street pasienger cars
leaves the Court House and conveys its
human freight to within a shOrt distance of
St. !Bridget's Church, on green street, in
which a fair and festival Is now in progress.
The fair nes been in progress for some
time and yet the attendance of visitors
continues with apparently unabated inter
est,*a fact which speaks louder than words
of the character and 'attractiveness of the
entertainment. The fair is open day and
evening, and any person wishing to spend
a few hours pleasantl , can do so without
any trouble by follow ing the direction in
dicated.
A New Caseinate.
A Pittsburgh correspondent of the Cin
cinnati Conunerciat gave the annexed des
cription of a remarkable piece ,of work,
upon which the celebrated Jlrta of Robin
son, Rea it Co., in Birmingham, are at pres
ent engaged. He says: There is one piece
.of work building here, and now nearly
completed, that is worthy of special note
for the hugeness of its proportions, the
character of the material used and the ex
cellence of its workmanship. It is a'
wrought iron casemate for the United
States Government, an experimental opera-.
lion designed totest the use of iron in the:
construction of our seacoast forts. -It meas
ures sixteen feet in length, on its inner cir
cle, ten feet high, and fourteen inches
thick. and is formed of four pieces of curved
wrought iron, each seven inches in thick
ness. it takes two plates to form its height
and a like number tor its thickness. There
is, a porthole in the center, to run the gun
out, and as one of those plates is over five
• feet in width and weighs fourteen tons--a
heavy chunk, will say your Third ward
readers, for one piece of iron to be taken
dint of a furnace, the whole mass being at a
welding heat, and passed through rollers—
and yet, iris true, and as solid a piece of
work as can be found coming from a ham
mer. The plates are firmly bolted together
by a series of mammoth bolts, turned and
fitted in counter-sinks on the face and side.
and screwed in the inside plates, huge bolts
of east iron clasping the ends of plates,
and having projections to anchor in the
stone masonry, are used on one end of the
plates, while the other end of the plates
are clasped with wrought straps, evidently
to test the relative merits of cast and
wrought iron. Over the tops of the plates,
and clasping the outer circle, is a cap
formed of cast and wrought iron. This por
tion I take to be a bomb-proof,-to protect
the gunner from those mischievous and an
noying missiles. As a piece of mechanism,
in its material and workmanship, it chal
lenges criticism, and I feel proud that snob
a creditable piece of workmanship has been
executed,in the West, even though it be
Pittsburgh.

A Rare Chance to Capltallsts—The Entire
Pateht Bight of a Great Invention for
Sae. • ,
In 1867 atilleit a otomplbte fe'tbliitl6ll was
inaugurated in the vial markbt by the in
troduetion of the •patent graduated bottle,
vitdch was the practical result of long
study and active experiment on the part_of
the inventor. The idea, after Put forth,
like the greater majority okdeas which
lead to invention. appeared eteedingly
simple, and yet the patent ins red large
fruits, and most successfully opePed a new
.
era in the manufacture of vials. he great
invention, in few words, meant the exact
graduation of the bottle, by means of raised
figures and lines secured from a carefally
made mould, in the process of making. It
supercedes engraving and almost en
tirely obviates the necessity of grad
uated measures in thecompound
ing of prescriptions by the,
pharma
-1 ceutist and entirely dispenses with the
1 trouble in the sick room-of accurately
measuring the doses to be administered to
'the invalid. Its manufacture is of course
no more expensive than the plain bottle,
and yet it supplies a n ed at once recog
nized by all ph,*sicia , druggists and
heads of families, and it 99a only a question
of time till it shall drive every other style
of medicine vials out of use. It has but to
be seen to be appreciated and the favor it
has met with must increase, as it is a com
modity which from first introduction took
prominent place among the necessities of
trade. ,
The-invention was made in this city by
1 Mr. George W. Stoeckel, who was then in
the drug business, a_Rociated with one of
our largest and most prominent houses,
and after his patent had been regularly se
cured he Sound the 'orders for his vials so
numerous and coming from all Auarters
, that he retired from that line of trade and
devoted himself exclusively to the sale and
introduction of his patent article. Making
the bottles of best quality of glass, using
great care in the manufacture and hav
ing all rigidly inspected before shipment he
won such high reputation for the bottle
itself, Independent of its graduation, that
to-day none are more popular in the estima
tion of the druggists throughout the whole
country and as a trade mark alone, the
pressed ,
figures and lines en his vials give
evidence of their superiority. The appli
cation for the patent drew out suppos
ed inventors who laid claim to prece
dence in the idea, and endeavored to prevent
the patent, but to no avall.-11r. Stoeckel
after several vexatious suits came out tri
umphant, and his patent was secured to
him beyond all dispute by the action of the
proper authorities. He has liberally adver
tised the graduated battle and built up a
partonage for it which renders him a hand
some pecuniary yield every year, but, the
fault of most inventors, he has not suffi
cient unemployed capital to satisfactorily
compete with the wealthy manufacturers,
who desire to monopolize the trade by sup
plying the old style plain bottles. It is for
this reason that Mr. Stoeckel to-day adver
tises the exclusive , and entire right of his
very valuable patent for sale to men of
capital and enterprise. The patent will
not, expire till February Ist, 1883, and as
the graduated bottles are already intro
duced throughout the whole, country and
extremly popular with the trade, we Can
conceive of no investment which prom
ises, better ,return in the way of profit to
the manufacturer. . , •
Mr. Steckel is very generallj known and
highly respected in this community, and
those who desire further information re
garding his terms will find his address at
taches to, his advertisement in another
column. _ .

than one of those famous Marschall &Mit
tauer pianos, for which Messrs. Hoffman,
Hoene & Co., 53 Fifth avenue; are the exclu
sive agents for this -city. These instru
ments are justly regarded, by the most
knowing and eminent pianists and com
posers of the country, as powerful, pure,
rich and equal intone, and excellent in all
the essential points which go to make up a
first class and durable piano. Much of the
intricate machinery and delicate parts of
these pianos are made by machinery held
patent by the manufacturers, ensuring an
exactness and perfection not attempted in
those of other makes. First premiums
have invariably been borne away by these
instruments wherever exhibited; and con
noisseurs in musical matters are warm in
their recommendation of them as the best
pianos now claiming the patronage of the
American people. They are sold at rea
sonable prices, and will commend them
selvc.s to all who take the trouble to com
pare them with others in the market.
Messrs. Hoffman, Hoene fk Co.; are also
agents for Shoningers' famous Eureka
organs. They approach the perfection of
sweet sound and have the vox hutaana stop,
which materially enhances the yalue. This
stop creates, by a fan, a trill like 'unto the
warbling of the whole feathered tripe, doing
away with the bellowing hohrseness so

( Gymnastic Association.
A large and splendid meeting of the
members of the Gymnastic Association was
held last evening at their Hell, Fourth
avenue, President Gazzam in the Chair,
and N. B. Morange, Esq., Secretary. The
reports of the officers show the affairs of the
Association toe in a very flourishing con
dition. Eloquent speeches were made by
the President, A. A. Bell, Esq., and others.
It ,is a source (of regret that Mr. Gazzam
declines to be a candidate for re-election.
The annual election for officers'will be
held Monday evening, December 28, and as
there are two tickets in the field, alively
time may be expected.
Where to Get a Bargain.—We know all

tention to the grand closing out sale of dry
goods, now in progress at the establishment
of Messrs. 0. M Burchfield < Cp., NO: 52
St. Clair (now Sixth) street. Messrs. Burch
field and Co. desire to close out their pres
ent large supply of goods before taking
stock for the in-coming year, and they
have therefore reduced the prices of all the
articles which they have for sale. The
stock is one of the largest and finest in the
city, and anything in the line of dry goods,
either for 'personal use or for holiday gifts,
can be had at prices which, they are satis
fied, will prove aatisfael l ory to their cus
tomers. Give them aea 1.

PrOprieters.
In calling attention to the eViirtisement
of this firm in another coliPam, we think it
may interest some of 0 . - ar readers to give $
short outline of it; object and organization.
Some thirty years ago a merchant wishing 1
to purehase goods at a distance was obliged
to carry, his credentials with him, and if
they were not satisfactory, he could not get
any accemmodation in the way of credits.
To have them so was very frequently im
possible, although in his own locality ne
might be well known to be perfectly re
sponsible. Thus enterprise was clogged for
the want of a medium acting in the mutual
interest of buyer and seller.
A few of the largest dealers in New York
kept several clerks constantly traveling
looking after their credits, but 'even this
Waft pot sufficient, although very expensive.
So in their own interest the leading houses
combined. and organized the Mercantile
Agelley, afterwards inducing one of their
number, Messrs. Lewis and Arthur Tappin,
silk imparters, (one of those, Lewis Tappin,
will be better remembered by the prominent
position he held in the Republican party as
one of the champions in the Anti -Slavery
movement of -that period,) to take charge of
it. Circulars were sent throughout the
country explaining their object to bankers,
lawyers and responsible merchants,' asking
their cooperation by each giving his opin
im as to the responsibility of dealers in his
immediate locality. This they very readily
gave, seeing the importance of having their
district properly reported. It was soon
found that ii,,-large amount of capital was
necessary and' a copartnership was formed
with Mr. Benjamin Douglass. Braila' of
fices were gradually established throughout
the principal cities, the Pittsburgh office
being opened in 1852 at the request of nearly
all the manufacturers and wholesale mer-
I chants doing business here at the time, each
paying a per centage on their credit sales.
Some years since tho per centage on sales
was discontinued, subscribers now paying a
fixed rate per annum, still to a certain ex
tent guided by the amount of business done
on credit. From the small beginning with
one office in New York in ( the interest of a
few, there are now twenty-three branches
throughout the United States, Canada and
Englai4, and the subscribers number by
thethntsands. This institution has had
numerbus imitators, whose business is con
ducted more or leas on the same plan.

( DEAR Sin—lt is with much pleasure that
I say to you that I consider the PLANTA
TION BITTERS of untold value. In the fall
of 1867 I was taken with Chills and Fever,
with the most severe pains in my chest and
head. It was with great difficulty that I
could breathe. My lungs. were greatly
distressed, and there was severe pain in
my right side, by spells. I could hardly
get from my bed. I. [called a Doctor f who
attended me all winter without the least
benefit. About(the first of August I conaL
menced using your PLANTATION BITTERS
—a wine-glass full three times a day—and
have used it most of the time shwa, and I
am now well and strong, able to do all my
own work and take care of a large family.
