The Drumnker Boy.
The beautiful allegory of the Drummer
Boy is to be produced at the Academy of
Music next week., We have heretofore
spoken of the elaborate and, expensive
preparations for this play—far exceeding
anything before attempted here—and the
imposing array of names of prominent citi
zens in the cast, with the host of ladies
both. In the cast and to assist in the gor
geous tableaux. The , play, which is
founded upon incidents of the late rebel
lion, familiar to all, was written by Mr. S. J.
Muscroft, who personates I the principal
character, Mart Howard. It has been very
successfully played in the western cities
and froin the array of talent in the cast here,
we may expect something far exceeding
anything ever given here. The piece
commences from the first , severance of
friends from the North and Sonth—through
the exciting camp scenes, l, the terrible
battle, the faithful services of Uncle Joe;.
the horrors of Andersonville, the magnifi
cent gunboat fight, and down to the sad
fate of the. little "Drummer Boy," his
quick avenging by a brother and the final
return home.
The Committee inform ns that the sale of
reserved seats yesterday was far beyond.
their expectations. The 80x . .. Office will

Alleged Lareeey:
Daniel Phillips, John Fisher and Heury
Pauline went into a saloon on Ohio street/
Allegheny, kept by a woman named Sey

drink. When they had taken a glass or
two Phillips sat down on a chair and pretty
soon fell asleep. He was awakened after a
time by the other two men,,who told him
they must move on. When thoroughly
awake Phillips alleges that he missed his
purse and a memorandum book, together
with a ten dollar greenback.' After coming
Out of the saloon he parted with the other
two; but having, his suspicions aroused
he related the circumstances to Lieutenant
Kennedy, of the night police, who he met
on the street, and started in company with
him after the other parties. The suspected
men were soon after apprehended and
brought to the lock.up. Pauline there,ao
knowledged that Philips had been robbed,
but accused Mrs. Seymour of being [the
guilty party. The officer went back and
searched the saloon:of Mrs. Seymour, and
succeeded in finding - the book but not the

Bold Robbery—A Sate Tampered With
—Elam or the Perpetrators.
Messrs. Morrison. & Devol's ,commission
house, No. 76 Water street, was broken
into by burglars at an early hour yester
day morning, and, the priimises ransacked
through and through. The operators ef
fected an entrance to the store by forcing
open one of the front doors, which was.
somewhat of a job, as the door was fasten
ed on - the inside by: a heavy triple bolt.
The first thing which seems to have at
traded their attention was the safe, upon
which they operated for a time with the
usual appliances, but all in vain. The safe
was scratehed and rubbed a little by the
tools used, but resisted all , their efforts.
A trunk in the office belonging to Mr.
Devol was next attended to. ,It was broken
open and a quantity of clothing taken,
together with an overchat that was hanging
just above it: The operators finally wound
up by carrying off several firkins of butter.
The amount of the loss sustained by the
Jinn cannot yet be estimated, but it will
doubtless prove considerable.
The warerooM of Messrs. Byron & Can
ghey, immediately adjoining, Was also a
recipient of their attention, but for some
cause they failed to effect an entrance into
it. The thieves escaped with their plunder
without leaving the slightest clue behind
which would lead to their detection, al
though they evidently, had been operating
for some time. The policemen in the vi
cinity seem not td, have known anything
of it until informed by, the firm yesterday
morning..'
Boller Explosion.--Yesterday evening
about half-past five-O'clock, an explosion
occurred at the Superior Iron Works,
Messrs. Richey, Herron & Co., at Woods
run, by which several men were seriously
injured. At the time• off' . the occurrence
the engine, which is propelled by six large
boilers, was running under, an ordinary
pressure of steam when the "mud valve"
of one of the 'balers' bleiv out, forcing
down a wall at the rear end of the boiler,
scattering the brick through the workshop
in every direction and injuring a'number
of the workmen. The entire establish
ment was !Instantly filled with the hot
steam and Many of the worktnen were
severely, though not dangerously scalded.
Among those who are dangerously injured
we could only learn the names of two, viz:
John Griffith and John Carothers. These
men were working near the wall.immedi
ately behind the exploded boiler, and were
injured by falling bricks, beSides being
scalded to such an extent that their lives
are despaired of. There was also, another
man working with those above named, who
is thouglit to be mortally hurt.
Alleged Boarding House Thief Arresiad
--Several Charges Against Rim. •
Nicholas Bennett, charged with stealing
clnthing valued at one hundred anethirty
dollars from a boarding house, corner of
Carson and Liberty streets, was arrested
between two and three o'clock yesterday

Blackmore's police. It alleged that Ben
nett boarded at the house, but disappeared,
taking with him the articles referred to,
which belonged to a fellow boarder named
J. H. Moore, who made ttie information
before the Mayor. The officer found the

tents. The.cause of the pie is unknown.
An alarm of fire was struck from box 26,
Allegheny Fire Alarm, yesterday morning
between eight and nine o'clock. The alarm'
was caused by the burning of the weather
boarding on the paint shop connected with
the wagon manufactory of Messrs. Work , .
man. Moore it , Co., corner of Beaver street
and Gay alley. The Fire Department re
sponded promptly, and the flames were ex
tinguished before they had -gained much
headway. The 'loss will be less than one
hundred dollars, on which ,there is an in
surance.
Rev. George Brown, D. D., will preach a
sermon in the First Methodist Church,

20,) at 103 4 A at., on the life and death of
'that remarkable woman, Mrs.
,Hannah
Reeves, wife of Rev. Wm. Reeves, D. D.,
of this place, who recently closed her
earthly career. The many singular and
interesting occurrences in her long and
deeply pious life, and especially in connec
tion with her preaching, coming from Eng
land to America, dm., dec., • will furnish
abundant material for an interesting and
instructive sermon, and Dr. Brown, hav
ing known her for nearly forty years, will
be able to make good use of the occasion.
Rev. Wm. Evans, the celebrated lecturer,
will preach in the evening on the "Burial of
Moses," and an unusually interesting time
is ezected.
We noticed a day or two since the burn
ing of the extensive distillery of Metal's.
Cooper, Buchanan do Dttnaway, at Monon
gahela City. We have since learned that
the fire broke out at one o'clock in the
morning, and in less than an hour the
building was in ruins. The loss was thirty
five thousand dollars, with an insurance of
twenty-three thousand in the Sampson's
agency at Monongahela City. Sis. thou
sand bushels of grain were - destroyed. One
hundred and ten barrels of whisky, togeth
er with the firm's books, were saved. The
fire is snpposed to have been the work of
an incendiary, and a reward of five hun
dred dollars is offered for the apprehension
of the villain. -
Ann Danlap, Ella Malone, Mary Haskins
and Sarah McDonough, residents at the
Point, got into a squabble at the Point, yes

peace. -The 'defendants, after a hearing,
'were discharged upon the payment of the
costs.-Sarah then made information against

the peace. This case was finally compro
mised in a similar manner, and all parties
finallyleft the office satisfied, for the time,.
with law.

To Be Eiaforced.
A Pleasant Menton.
Last night the inmates of the Soldiers'
Home (Western Pennsylvania Hospital,)
were made the recipients of a grand com
plimentary dinner at the hands Of a number
of our patriotic , and philanthopic ladies.
The tablet' were loaded down wittr_sub.
stantials and delicacies, prepared for the
occasion by the spirited donors, and more
than one hundred persons • sat down,
among whom were some eighty of
the inmates of the noble institution. It
would be a difficult task to enumerate the
dainty dishes and toothsome food spread
on the commodious boards of the several
dining rooms and it will suffice to say
there was an abundance of everything and
enough provisions left to supply a regiment
for days to come. After the sup
per, where general good cheer per
vaded, and atj which Rev. Richard
Lea presided, the invited gents repaired
to the public hall attached to the Home,
where a novel and high-toned entertain
ment was offered by the minstrel band con
nected with the Mime. The performances
were highly creditable, and would have
put to shame many of the offerings of the
more pretentious minstrel' troupes that
travel throughout the country inviting
patronage and the recognition of the merits
of the various performers. We cannot too
highly speak of the performances in song
and comedy of Meagan. Perkins )3J.' ;men,
Loupe, May, Hunter, David and lies , who
won high favor with the audience. The en
tertainment was all - that could be desired,
chaste, amusing and pleasant, and the vis
itors expressed themselves highly delight
ed. '
There were present on the occasion a
large delegation or worthy clergymen and
a full complement of philanthropic business
and professional gentlemen. To the kind
ness, care and attention of Dr. C. B. Xing
and his most excellent lady, and the gen
erous hospitality of Mrs. Johnson, the ac
complished matron of the Home, the guests
owe much of the pleasure derived from the
affair. The Home is wall managed and we
trust that the .opening act of public sym
pathy and concern for its braveinmates
will be followed by similar ones oh the part
of the patriotic community. A Christmas
dinner similar to the occasion of last even.
ing is serlously thought of, and we hope
our genermas readers will make liberal
contributions in that direction:
New Drug House.
Mr. M. J. McGann, a gentleman who is
regarded by an educated community as one
of the most accomplished and learned of
our home pharmaceutistas established
a first-class drug store at he corner of
Fifth avenue and, Ross strett k which was
opened to the public yesterday\ Mr. Mc-
Gann has had large and liberal experience
in his profession, 'having served years of
clerkship apprentice with Harmar D. i3eul
ly, deceased, who in his life enjoyed high
reputation =one our druggists as a scion
tific pharmaceutist. The new store has
been fitted up in the most elegant style and
supplied with a splendid stook of fresh
drugs and perfumeries, which must prove
attractive to the purchaser. Mr., McGann
will personally pay special' attention
to the compounding and filling of
physicians' prescriptions at all hours, day
or night, and so conduct is business as to
win thel confidence and, patronage of the
entire medical fraternity. He will deal
largely in perfutneries and patent medi
cines, of which he will keep constantly a
fine atockon hand at prices which will be
deemed reasonable by the closest buyer.
In, conclusion, we cannot too heartily en
dorse Mr. McGann as a druggist eminently
worthy of public confidence and deserving
of the largest patronage, as he has not only
had large experience in the business, -but
has likewise the education and training
which would secure place for him in the
ranks Of the most skilled of our physicians,
chemists and pharmacologists.

The season for purchasing holiday goods
Ili with us, yea many of the more enter
:prising merchants have sought our columns
as an avenne - Whereby they / may spread be
fore the readeritheir claims upon hist pat
ronage. It is A difficult matter to decide
what might prove most acceptable to recip
ients, but had we any voice in the matter
we should commend an elegant lace hand
kerchief or any of the thousand and one
articles to be found at the well ktown and
popular trimming and notion ouse of
Messrs. Dennison & Heckert, No, 27 Fifth
avenue. The stock at this establishment is
very fine, and, being selected with great
good care, must prove entirely satisfactory
to the customer. It embraces all that is
new and novel, fashionable and rare in the
way of trimmings, embroideries, lace
goods, linen goods, gents' and ladies' fur
nishing goods, parlor ornaments, slipper
patterns, des, ribbons, gloves, hosiery and
the innumerable articles which go to make

gentlemen eminently worthy of patronage.
Their goods are sold at the most reasonable
of prices, and all readers will find it to their
advantage to bestow a portion of their pat'
rouage on this popular business establish
ment.
More Light:
In this wonderful age of progress the one
great cry of mankind, which may be heard
above all others is, for ""more light.'' The
people of this fast age are not content, as
our illustrious predecessors were, to "use
the light of other days," and consequently
many hundreds of them may be found
daily at - the establishment _of Weldon
Kelly, corner of Wood street and Virgin
alley, plumbers and gas fitters, where is to
be found one of the largest and best assort
ments of chandeliers for gas, and oil
lamps, and gas fixtures of every descrip
tion, ever brought to this city.
A Correction.—lt is the general impr:•
sion of the travelling public that baggag:
masters and others entrusted with the care
of baggage on railroads handle trunks and
valises in a rough and careless manner.
This impression, although it prevails almost
universally, la erroneous, as can be fully
demonstrated. The reason of so many
trunks and valises being broken and dam
aged on railroads is because they are not
properly made. It is a well known fact
that trunks purchased at the establishment
of Joseph Liebler, 104 Wood street, never
break open under circumstances of an
ordinary character. He keeps a large
stock of trunks and valises on hand, which
he sells at reasonable prices.
Dellolons.--We know of nothing more

a well known fact that the Coutinental Sa

it is ever in a style that defies'competltion.
The Continental is on Fifth avenue, next

Trimmings and dress goods are articles
which require care and experience in selec
ting, and the ladles have only to call and
examine Mr. W. W. Manhead's elegant
stock of goods at 81 Alarket street to fully
satisfy themselves that he is not only a man
of experience in his business, but has used
the greaetst care in the selection of his stock.
At 81 Market Street," a fine stock of ho:
siery has Just been received, and is being
disposed,of at prices which defies competi

An Era—ln Plano Building—Steinway's
Uprights.
A wonderful' and most important new
invention of Messrs. Steinway enables the
purchasers of one of theft. new Upright
Pianos to make it as good as new, even after
twenty years use, by simply sending for a
new action or mechanism. In other words,
the mechanism is so arranged that any one
can readily take out the old action and put
in the new one, which the Steinways furn
ish at a mere nominal cost.._Thus, after a
piano has been used some fifteen to twenty
years, it can be made as good as new by
this simple prOcess. The touch will be as
firm and elastic as at first; and by tight
ening the screws at both ends of the
sounding board, the original richness
and mellowness of tone also will
be fully restored. The Uprights are pro
vided with two iron frames,front and back,
all cast in one piece, and, hence, are the
strongest and most durable pianos ever
built. These are patented new inventions,
worthy the genius and world-wide repute
