Another Suleide—flfental Anerration the
Cause—Nhot Through the Heart.
Coroner Clawson yesterday morning held
an inquest on the body of a man named
Wesley Harmon, who committed suicide
at his boarding house, No. SS Beaver street,
Allegheny,:by shooting himself through
the heart, The deceased;_ - it seems, has'
been subject to attacks of temporary insan
ity, but until within a year past the attacks
produced only a depression of, spirits, and
after a few days would almost entirely die
appear. On Monday morning he com.
plained of feeling unwell, and throughout
the day kept his bed, his meals being sent
to him. In the evening a physician was
called in, who prescribed for him, but did
not consider the sickness at all serious.
Late in the evening, while conversing
with his .brother, he expressed fear that
i l l
he would not recover. W hen h s brother
left him, however, yesterday m rning, he
seemed to be in good spirits, a d some=
what better than on the previous evening.
Shortly after eight o'clock the inmates of
the house heard the .report of a istol, but
It
Et
were • not alarmed, supposing i ,to have
been fired in the street. Soon er the re
port was heard, Miss Johnston; daughter
of the proprietor of the boards g house, haTing occasion to enter the r mof the
deceased, was much startled toJima him
with, his - face to the wall and reathing
.heavily. She immediately ' called her
father, who came at once.. Upon going up
to the bed, upon which the man lay, Mr.
Johnston discovered blood on 'the bed
clothes. Turning them down he 'discover
-ed more blood 'and noticed that the night
shirt worn by the deceased was consider
ably burned over the left breast. A fur
ther examination revealed the foot that the
deceased had shot himself through the
heart, the ball entering immediately above
the left nipple and passing in a doWnward
direction. Subsequently the, pistol, a
single barreled one and apparently new,
was found among the bed clothes. .
The victim was a single man;' about
thirty-seven years of age, and had been
boarding with Mr. Johnston for five or'six
months. He was employed as a city letter
carrier for more than two years, but re-'signed that position during a fit of de
spondency in April last, since when he has
not been permanently employed. It is
said that he attempted to,commit suicide
by taking laudanum_ while on a visit to
Perrysville some time last summer, but the
act was discovered in time to save his life.
After the examination of several witnesses
The Coroner's jury returned a verdict that
the deceased came to his death by suicide
while laboring under temporary insanity.
:__The Reading Entertainments.
The Lecture'Committee of the Mercantile
Library Assciation aeted wisely in 'chang
ing the programme of their entertainments
and securing Henry Nichols, the celebrated
English Elocutionist and Reader. Coming,
as these readings do, in the midst - of what
is called a lecture course, they serve to
vary the exercises somewhat and break the
monotony which cannot fail to attach itself
to an unbroken series of lectures, however
eminent the lectuaers themselves may be.
And then, beside, readings, when tho
pieces selected are of a standard character,
and the reader one whO understands
his business, are equally, as instrucV
tivo and interesting as any other class i
of literary entertainments. Both of
_these requisites, are embraced in the per
formance of Mr. Nichols, if we may judge
from his reputation and the selections
which he has made. From the programme
before us we notice that "The Fall Wol
say," "Nothing to Wear," "The Charge of
the Light Brigade," "The Belts," "Sammy
Weller ' s Valentine," and a number of oth
ers from such authors as Shah:spear°.
Dickens, Poe, Tennyson, Hood, Wilkie
Collins, dc., ,hc., are down for Thursday
evening. A
Friday evening's programme is
equally as select and varied. Entertain
ments which promise so much should, and
.pndoubtedly will, attract large audiences.
Reserved seats may be secured' at the
Academy of Music en:Timrsday morning

A Pittsburgher In Troubl.
We clip the following from the local col,
umns of the Now York Tribune: On Sat
urday night Justice Quaife, of Jersey City,
issueu a warrant for the arrest of William
P. Reynolds, a resident, of Pennsylvania,
who, it is alleged, on the 15th of August
last, defrauded William Cornet,. of New
York, by- false 'representations, to the
to the amount of eight hundred dollars.
From the alleged facts in the case,
as stated by the complainant,-' it appears
that Reynolds purchased scrap iron Of Col
lier to the amount of 1, 4 1,505, paying on the
account $1,000, -- and promising to the
balance in a stated time. =This promise not
being kept, his father, to whom "the Iron
had been shipped, at Pittsburgh, Pa., was
applied to, but replied that he had'never
received but $l,OOO worth of iron ; for which
he had paid through his son. The warrant
was then issued, and Reynolds, who was
found In Jersey City, was arrested by De
tective Nugent. Reynolds was brought be-.
fore Justice Quaife, yesterday, and held to
appear for trial at the January term of
Court.
' • New Bank Organized.
A number of Allegheny merchants and
and others doing business in the lower part
of Federal street and vicinity met at Ex
celsior Hall, last evening, and organized a
new banking institution under the style of
the "Peoples Savings Bank of Allegheny,"
by the election of the following gentlemen
as Directors: •
Messrs. S. 11. Hartman, Sanauel. Dyer,
Jr., J. P.'llenderson; R. B. McGraw, T. C.
Patterson, J. Kohen, W. H. Burt, B. F.
Brown, W. G. Gibson.
The capital stock has been fixed at fifty
thousand dollars, divided into five hundred
shares of one hundred dollars each. It is
proposed to secure. the building located
at No. 65 Federal' street, and open the bank
for business at the earliest possible moment.
The business men in the locality named
have long felt the need of such an Institu
tion in their midst, and tho new organiza
tion starting in with their patronage has
certainly very flattering hopes of success.
The Lecture Last Night.
The first appearance of our tahinted
young townsman and journalist, Mr. Wm.
C. Smythe, as a lecturer, drew together
at the Academy last night au audience
conspieuous for learning, intelligence and
refinement. The lecturer, in his matter
and:stvie of delivery, surpassed the highest
expectations of the ardent admirers who
prevailed upon him to enter the lecture
field. He was entertaining'and Instructive
and at times truly eloquent. His perfect
composure, graceful elocution, sharp pow
ers of delineation and admirable composi
tion combined to render his lecture one of
the most charming we - have heard during
the season.- Altogether, the literary enter
tainment was creditable in the highest
sense of the word to the lecturer, and,
wherever repeated, should drawa crowded.
audience. In entering on his new profes
sion we can safely predict for Mr. Smythe
a brilliant and successful future.

Market Reperts.
There are few prodlice commission euses
in this city that hold so largeVmae eof
confidence and respect as the old and firmly
established firm of Messrs: Wight, Mahood
& CO., whose extensive sales and storage
rooMs are located at No. 257 Liberty street.
Through a- long and prosperous term of
years this establishment has assumed vast
proportions and; while leading in the spec
ialty of prodnce commission,, has won the
utmost credit and distinction from fair and
honorable dealing and correct blasiness
practices. - They make it a cardinal rule,
from Which there is never any deviation,
to realize on consignments the fair value
of the produce directed towards them for
sale, and to make accurate and prompt
returns- of the proceeds to the cod
signor. The firm, aside from their regular
trade, devote much care and attention to
answering intelligently all inquiries ad-.
dressed dressed to them regarding the rulingprices,
the market prospects and other information
of kindred character, at times so valuable
to'-the farmer and producer. Of course
imparting this information is a pleasure to
thejtirm - and' entails no cost on the in
quiring correspondents. In order better to
meet the demand for this market
quotations, the firm hal% adopted the GA
ZETTE as their medium of circulation, and
propose from time to time to furnish ' their
quotations in our columns, commencing to- -
day, as will be observed elsewhere. They,
secure a large extra edition of each issue of
our journal containing theirprice-current
and send them broadcast to all their ship
pers and consignors. This, they believe,
will insure greater satisfaction to their cor
respondents than would circular; as they
not only.receive the reports, but are like
wise furnished vvithfa live, readable news
paper, whose other market reports are
deemed standard authority in this neigh
borhood. The idea. is a good one and re
ftects credit to the enterprise of Messrs.
Voight, Mahood &t Co., and besides gives
all our advertisers the advantage of a de
,cided increase in the circulation of the
GAZETTE into quarters perhaps. never be?.
fore reached.
The price -current can always bo relied
upon as strictly accurate, being coni-'
piled with groat care from act /al busi
ness transactions. In conclusion, we com
mend Messrs. V. M. & Co.to our readers as
eminently worthy their confidence, and
bespeak for them an increase of the already
very large patronage directed towards
them.

A Correction.—We have been visited by
a number of persons who travel on the rail
roads, relative to an article writted some
days ago, in which we stated that a trunk
had been carelessly thrown from the car„
bursting it and scattering the contents over
the platform. They all are of the opinion
- that there is same mistake in tlfe - matter,
and give as the reason that lady travellers
invariably purchase their trunks from Jo
seph Liebler, 104 Wood street, and that
they are too substantial, to be broken in'
that way. Everybody' should have one of
Liebler's trunks.
