Mr. Henry Nicholls, the eminent Eng. lialiellicutionist and scholar, was greeted last nig4t at the Academy of Music by one Of the rgest and most brilliant audiences of the s ason, and we were glad of it u as the . mannertin which our intellectual and re fined people appreciated the endeavors of i the Mercantile- Library Association in ea; terilist to their enjoyment and Instruction - svas very, encouraging. Mr. Nicholls came Before a Pittsburgh audience comparative.. ly a stranger, but his brilliant reputation hadproceded him, and full of expectation the vast assemblage of lecture•going peo ple Impatiently awaited his appearance. His reading of Shakespeare's ' , Pall of Wol sey". Immediately stamped his power and ability al a reader, and throuhut the en- tire programme he develope g d o favorand elicited the -most enthusiastic applause from the audience. The gems of the evening, if gems could have been selected from the splendid-Interpretations of wit, humor and pathos which:followed each other In such rapid succession,. were, _perhaps, Tenny son's "Charge of the Light Brigade," Hood's ''Desert Born," Shakespere's "Soy eg Ages of, Mast" and Poets immortal song of "The Raven." Mr. Nicholls made a deep impression on all preserif and handled their passions at pleasure, starting tears with . tender „bursts of pathos, •or rel. llckaOme laupter drawn forth by his hum orous rendertngs. The reading ,was a sac cees, and:all who were notpresentlast night,- deprived thernseithis of au entertainment of rare worth which can only, bo compen sated by-a visit to the Academy to.pigitt on the occasion of the second reading.

Dithridge, previously reported on trial, was resumed. • A large number of witnesses were called by the defense,and their testimony put au entirely differentfromoloring on the case from that • that given by the prosecution. Moreover, all of the witnesses testified halo the excel lent character borne by the defendant. At the conclusion of the testimony Mr. Bell, for the defense, addressed the jury, mak ing a strong argument. M. Marshall followed, in behalf of the defendant, and reviewed the testimony in an able manner. In conclusion Mr. Mar ahail asked the Court to charge the jury that evidence of good character was a fact which might create a reasonable doubt in their minds. J. W. F. White, Esq - ., followed on the part of the Commonwealth, in a lengthy ar gument, at the concluslonof which Judge Mellon charged the jury. .He charged that in order to find a verdict.of guilty the jury must believe from the evidence that the defendant was guilty of wilful and corrupt perjury, which he defined to be "a wilful. corrupt and false statement under oath in a judicial proceeding in regard to a matter material to the question at issue." Such statement must not only be false, but it must be wilfully and corruptly false and untrue, and known to be so by the de tendert at the time it was made but made notwithstanding its known falsity for some purpose in the cause which the truth would not have promoted. It requires these ele ments to constitute the offense charged. The jury retired, and after a brief ab sence they came into Court with a verdict of not guilty, and directed that the prose cutor, James Gillespie, pay the coats. The next case taken up was that of the Commonwealth vs. Hugh Ward; <indict ment, aggravated assault and battery; Dan. IL Montgnmery prosecutor. The prose cutor testified that he was a police officer in Allegheny city, and that on the night of October sth, during the passage of a Demo cratic procession along Federal street, while attempting to quell a disturbance, he was struck on the head with a sabre in the hands of defendant, who was an officer of the procession. • The case was on trial when Court ad• journed TRIAL LIST FOR FRIDAY.

On Monday of last week he called at a boarding house in the lower, part of the First ward, Alle gheny, and although the landlady had about as many boarders as she wanted just then, he succeeded by ids 'exceedingly win ning manner In not only securing boarding, but actually getting one' of the best rooms in the house for his accommodation. A day or.two after he had been snugly en sconced in his new quarters he won the con fidence of a fellow boarder . to the amount of one dollar. He couldn't do it again, though.. At the expiration of a week Smithereen dis appearea, forgetting, in his absent Minded ness, to settle with his hospitable hostess. He next appeared to view sauntering med itatively backward and forward on the sidewalk fronting his lately deserted boarding house. This was Wednesday" evening. Yesterday morning the absence of a valuable broadcloth coat, a silver watch, a pearl handled pocket knife, a couple of razors and several other articles of like Character were missing from the room of one of his quondam :fel low-boarders. What he wanted with the last'named articles is somewhat of a mys tery, as he seems to have been sharp enough without any artifcial . aid. James left no clue behind as to his whereabouts, much to the disappointment of his anxious acquain tances. He has a very winning and taking way with him. but he would do well to take warning and cease to exercise his peculiar faculty. Many a man similarly constituted has been taken himself, and 'now reposes behind stone walls and iron bars. Recent Publications. Atteements. Terrible Death—A Man Sawn Asunder. Aboift ten o'clock yesterdaY thornfn Isaac , Mr. Robb, employed at the saw mill of Mr. John Redman, located at the south end of the Birmingham bridge, met with a shocking and instant death. He was en gaged about a large circular saw, four and a half feet in diameter, driven at the rate of I sic' hundred revolutions per minute, and only used for cutting logs of the largest size. 'While carrying one end of a board and walking with his back toward the saw, - the board suddenly broke causing him to lose his balance, and he was thrown back ward 'upon ft. In an instant, before his as sistant could look round, the sharp teeth of ' the instrument had severed his bps:ly in twain, one-half falling on either side. Part of the brains of the victim were thrown upward with such force as to reach the ceiling of the mill, bespattering it with blobd. The machinery was stopped by his horror stricken companions as soon as poseible, • and the mangled remains collected together. Coroner Clawson was notified' of the occurrence and held an inquest during the afternoon, at which the facts, as stated, were made known, and a verdict of accidental death rendered. The deceased was about fifty years of age, and resided in Temper anceville. He leaves a wife and- family, who are by the sadden and awful calamity thrown helpless, upon the world. Mr. Redman, proprietor of the mill, at the con clusion of the inquest, iirocured the service of an undertaker, and had the body dressed and neatly coffined and made as presenta ble as possible before it was borne home to the sorrow stricken- survivors. A Public Need. Some kind of an institution Is needed in Pittsburgh where bodies awaiting an in quest may be placid. Often it appears that while the Coroner is out of the city, or away on some °Molar business, an accident or suicidi occurs, which requires an inves tigation and inquest on the victims. In such a ease the body is either taken .to sonic, undertaker's or to the Mayor's office, or to any place where it is allo wed to re— main until the Coroner can attend to it. Sometimes in the multiplicity of business that official is'prevented from holding the inquest immediately, and considerable in convenience is thereby occasioned to par ties having the body in charge, and then again, jurors are often put to a great deal of unnecessary trouble in the adjourned inquest by having no regular central place to convene, all these difficul ties might be easily avoided by the 'estab lishment of an institution, such as we have suggested, one good size d in a central location and properly fitted up, would be sufficient for the purpose. Here, after a jury had been empannelled, the bodies caught be taken and the inquest held, or in the case of drowned persons, the bodies might be placed in the rodni for identifica tion by the friends. The office of the Coroner might also be located at the room, where messages could be left for him, and any information in his line of business be obtained. Were the present office of the Coroner somewhat larger it would answer the purpose. Another room, - however, just as centrally located, and at very little extra expense, might be se cured, and •we have not the least doubt thatrthe plan would be found to work well, 'and prove so advantsgeous that after a short trial it would not willingly be given up by the citizens or authorities. - I The Drumfoer Boy of Shiloh. The beautiful allegory of the Drummer Boy of the Battle of Shiloh will be pro duced in this city, commencing on Monday, December 21st, at the Academy of Music, under the management of the Grand Army of the Republic. The perfarmance is given for a very worthy object, namely, the relief of soldiers' widows and orphans — living In destitution in our midst, and of disabled, helpless soldiers temporarily in our city, or needing assissance in reaching , their homes. For the past six weeks, prepara tions for this play have been going on iu our midst, and nothing that money or art could do to make it a success has been neglected. The various leading characters are in the hands of the ladies and gentlemen possess ing the best amateur talent in the city, and we look for some uncommonly good act ing. In short, everything that could be devised to make the ' , Drummer Boy" a success has been employed, and we predict for It a great run. Let it not be said ofthe city, whose eons were the heroes of so many battle fields, and whose Sanitary Commissions were blessed by so many dying lips, that she has forgotten her moat sacred duty. The Standard , Scaies—Reitioval of Fair banks, Morse & Co. We believe that the Fairbanks Scales are very generally acknowledged in these parts, as well as throughout the t ountry, as the very best in use and the standard of perfection. The manufactures of the great firm of Fairbanks, Morse & Co. are truly , imtnense, consuming annually thousands upon thousands of, tone of iron and steel, affording mployment to a whole regiment of skilledlaborers, and producing scales of all sizes, from the tiny little silver thread balance. which weighs a pin's head, up to the gigantic platform, torecord to a quarter of a pound nicety a mountain weight of one hundred and twenty-five tons: But the reader is aware'of the superiority of these scales and of the enormous traffic carried on in them, and our purpose is-here but to announce the removal of the Pittsburgh house Vo the commodious building No. 152 Second avenue, below Wood street. This change was necessary, as the former house occupied was by no means large enough ' to accommodate the rapid increase in th •ir trade.
