coutl convened at ten o'clock yesterday
morning, when the case of the Common
wealth vs. Geo. W. 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.

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

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. •

,4 Winning His iyay,”
James Smithereen must have a winning
- or fascinating Way with him. 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.

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. At the newware-rooms will be
found a very large
,assortment of all • e
different scales manufactured by theffr
and those desiring anything lathe line • I
