The BM Posters' War.—John M'Couv
gey and James Thackeray are rival bill
posters, and like rivals in any other iniT
portant matter, they don't seem to get
along pleasantly with each other. We
menttoned . yesterday that Thackeray had

I.l'emivrey for malicious mischief, the of
fence consisting in mating bills on boards
which, Thickeray had. placed at various
corners throughout the city for his own es

Accident at the Rink.
Yestez day morning about three o'clock,
thaSuperbitendent of the Keystone Rink,
Mr. Itrown who was sleeping in the build
ing, was aroused by the sound of crashing
glass-and timbers. Upon awakening he
discovered that the skylight or ventilating
portion of the roof had given way under
the Wilt weight of now upon it: Visitors
to the rink will remember that the central
port or;comb of this roof had been raised
several feer from the main room, to facili
tate the lighting and ventilation of the in
terim. This centre portion gave way, but
fortunately nearly all the debris slid down
the main roof, on, either aide, thus leaving
the main roof uninjured. A force of work-
men was engaged yesterday in clearing
away the - rubbish previous to repairing the
damage, which will be done as soon as
possible. The Superintendent expects to
have it in order again before the next ice
forms. . • ;
Ainfaulted.,
On Sunday night as Mr.' Thomas Smith
was passing down Union street from the
"Diamond he was imitated by four ' men;
who knocked him down and beat him in a
-terrible manner. A deep gash was in
his head, .evidently with some blunt in
strument, and MB clothing was torn almost
from his body. The assailants, after beat
ing thi-ir victim to their heart's content,
left him lying on the pavement and de
parted. Mr. Smith Managed sbenetinae:af
ter to make his way home, where he has
since been suffering from the injuries re
ceived. The attack was so sudden that he
failed to rev:guise any of his assailants,
and it is therefore unite probable that they
wilt never be known. It, will be remem-
bered:that the assaulted party is one of the
- ,Intienendent police who have been making
raids on tke violaters of the Sunday liquor
- law ilithivvicinity for sometime past. It
is Ipossibrethis fact may furnish some clue
to the attacking party, but as yet no devel
opments have been made in the case.
Railway Officials.
At the recent meeting of the new Board
ofl Directors of the Cleveland and Pitts-
burgh Railroad, J. N. McCullough, Esq.,
ts , was re-elected President and William Ste
w.
-art, Esq., General - Superintendent and'Gen
eral Freight Agent. It appears that no
matter how mash - of the 4 ‘rina". element
may enter into the composition of the Board,
the -services of these= gentlemen cannot' be
dispensed with. r- Chiefly: through their=
managementthe road has attained its pres
ent .prosperons condition. its exhibit - for
the-past year will compare favorably with
any, an the country. It:could 'not be other
wise under the energetiaand able manage
ment of Messrs. McCullough and Stewart.
T. R. Myers, Etsq.y than whom no , one is
entitled to higher - credit for able nituisge-'
meat, and who - has , justly been styledin
some ofour exchanges "one ofthe railroad
princes,'" is stilt General Ticket Agent of
this, as well as of the Pittabsugh. Fdrt
Wayne and Chicago Railroad, a position
which we _hope he will live long to
• fill. 'lasing- to , the. onerous: duties,-of:
• the position, J. ,-Kimball, Esq.,
- was installed, some time since, Assistant
General Ticket Agent. Mr. Kimball came,.
Quietly among us, if we remeniber aright,
from some western road, and by his urban
ity, devotion to business and the ability:
with which he discharges the duties of bfa
position,ls making hosts of friends. Re- is
the right manin the right place. Both . the
Pittsburgh 45t Cleveland, and Pittsburgh,
Fort Wayne fit Chicago roads are officered
by the choleast Men.
Library I.4.etures.
.
John B. Gough, Esq.. lectured hut even
.
lug in the Academy altitude, under . the
auspices of .the Young Men's Mercantile
Library Association. His. subject was
tiOircincitances," and was Muldled in a
masterly manner. It was -certainly one of
.
the best lectures M. Gough has ever de
livered in this city.. We think. every 'one
left` the Academy list evening not only de
- li ghted but edified. :Many a man,'es was
clearly 'demonstrated:7M the lecture, has
.* been either raised to distinetion or . sunk
- - into obscurity by the merest circum
stance. A . word or a look may make a
man buoyant with hope or overwhehn him
with dispair. One may reach the loftiest
pinnacle of human ambition by a smooth,.
even-and beaten walk. - Another, in differ
-sant circumstances '
may have to fight his
Ivey, in great adversity and in
the midst of much opposition to the
goal. Ale may_. stumble and stagger
and blunder. Still, armed with , a heroic
determination, he triumphs over every op
posing circumstance. The speaker had a
higher admiratien of the blunderer and
the lighter, than of the man who walks
easily to destinetion by a way so thor
unghly hedged on both sides that it is al
most impossible forldm to fail in reaching
the summit ofwoOdly renown.
Mr. Gough willlecture on Saturday and
Monday evenings next. Of course the
house will be - filled to overflowing on both
occasions. 1 "
The . Leetnre Committee are entitled to
the highest credit for the excellent manner
In which they manage their departnihnt.
The gentlemen ~Who , collect the' tickets,
and the ushers are also worthy of praise
for their 'politeness and attention. We are

of success, as the table given below dem
onstrates. The election passed off very,
quietly without any disturbance or rowdy
ism, svlllo speaks well for the attendants
at the polls. Below is the official result so
far as ascertained, those marked with a
star being the successful candidates.
For Director of the Poor the Republican
candidate, John Brown, Jr., was opposed
in the Third ward alone by Peter I.nefiler,

• The careful discrimination shown by the
Association in the selection of its, officers is
an auspicious opening of 'the year. These
gentlemen possess, is an eminent degree,
those qualities that constitute the ,capable
and reliable officers, and they, likewise '
will certainly acquit themselves with
honor and speed the exertions and decide
the success of the every undertaking of this ,
useful and benevolent organization. We
might Justly add that there are many other
estimable members, to all of which the
Association Could not, of course,'proffer
such conspicuous marks of its
apPreciationc
office but • inasmuch as. rotation in is thin
rule, we hope, a yehr hem, to congratulate
many of onr friends upon-the arduous du
ties of official pswition then to be thrust
upon them., The meetings of this Society,
which' are inonthivoire largely attended
and excite special interest in them.

OPERA HOUSE.—"Dora" was repeated at
the Opera House last night to a very fair
audience, considering the unfaiorable
weather. It is a beautiful and Pleasing
drama, and was rendered ht a highly Retie
,
factory manner. Mr. Couldoek's Farmer
Allen is capital, and a Miss Couldook's
"Dora" is excellent. Miss Dargon in the
,
role of Mary Allen is unquestionably good,
and the same may be said 'of Messrs. Dond
and Norton. The piece will be produced
to-night for the last time, and we would ad-
vise all those who have not seen It to avail
themselves of the opportunity of doing so.
TILEATRE.—The Gregory Troupe - c n
tinue to draw large houses at the Old he
atre, where they have been holding f rth
for over a week. The entertainm nts
given by this troupe are of a versatile c ar.
actor, and very new and interesting ea.
tures are introduced. The ' , spiral as en
sion" is an astonishing feat and should be
seen to be appreciated. I
AOAnEMT OP MIIBIC.—The lovers of good
music have in anticipation a rich feast this
(Wednesday) and to-morrow evening.
Miss Clara Louisa Kellogg, the beautiful
and accomplished American Prima Donna,
whose concerts have been announced for
that time, arrived in the city last evening
with her troupe; consequently those hold
ing tickets need have no fears of disap
pointment. Miss Kellogg's high reputation
as a vocalist, and the fact of her being an
American lady, combined to make her the
most popular singer on the American stage,
for notwithstanding the American in
clination to patronize foreigners, Nation
al pride and: a just • appreciation of
talent 'compels all lovers 9f art and reason
to acknowledge true worth and excellence,
even though it should be found in an
American. Miss Kellogg, assisted by a
number of artists scarcely less eminent in
their profession than herself, will give two
concerts at the Academy of Music to-night
and to-morrow night. : The house will
doubtless be crowded.

Disorderly , Vb3liers.
John Snyder, proprietor of a beer saloon'
at Corks Run, made information, before
Alderman' Donaldson, yesterday, against
Joseph AuDingle and Peter Hurd for dis
.
`orderly conduct. The prosecutor alleges
that the defendants came into his saloon in
an intoxicated condition and began to Balogh
,the furniture, windows. ikc.. of the estab
lishment. They were finally- ejected, but
not before oonsfderable damage ' had been
done.
John also made information, before the
same magistrate, against the same defend
ants, for assault and battery they. according
to his statement, having attacked and beat
him in an unmerciful manndr, just after
they had been ejected from the saloon. The
accused were arrested and held for a hear

Fatal Accident on the Pan Randle ,Ilatl•
road-Sleeping Cir Thrown: 'from the
Track and Precipitated over an Embank
ment Fifty Feet-:-TbreelMen Killed . and
Several Seriously Injured.
A most terrible railroad disaster occur
red a few miles west of this city, at Cork's
Run, on the Pan Hatidle Railroad, between
three and four o'clock yesterday morning,
by which three men were killed instantly
and four were serious, some,- of them
perhaps fatally, injured. • The mail train
west, (No. 6,) consisting of two passenger
and one sleeping car, which left the Union
Depot at three o'clock yesterday morning,
arrived at Cork's Run about half past three
o'clock, and had crossed partly over the fill,
which at that point is very heavy, when
the track gave way and the sleeping car
;in which were seven passengers, was thrown
from the track and precipitated over the
embankment to the run below, a distance
of sixty feet, almost perpendicular. The
,
car in its descent made several revolutions,
and by'the time it reached the bottom was
literally demolished. Fortunately, the
coupling connecting the sleeping car with
the coach in front of it, broke, when the
former was thrown from the track, other
wise the entire train might have been
thrown over the embankment, the result of
which would have been 'a much' greater de
struction of human life. The names of the
killed, so far as can be ascertained, are as.
follows: John Alleni conductor of the
sleeping car; Mr. C. McPherson. of Spring
field, Ohio, and the third is supposed to be
Rev. J. G. Archer, of Clearfield, Clearfield
&nay, Pennsylvania. Mr. Henry C. Bar
nett, from Springfield, Ohio, a brother-in-.
law of Mr. McPherson, one of the killed,
and Mr. John Rennike, a drover from
,Cynthiana, Ky., were among the injnred.
I M.r. Barnett's injuries were .of a very Fre
rrinus character and-at first his life was
despaired of.. He was removed to the Con
tinental Hotel, Mansfield, where he was at
tended by Dr. McCook, and at last accounts
he was recovering and will probably sur
vive his injuries. , The' other passengers
were not seriously injured and proceeded
on their journey. •
The bodies of Allen and. McPherson
were discovered immediately after the dis
aster and removed to. Mansfield, and the
Coroner sent for, who repaired thither yes
terday afternoon for the purpose of hold-
Dag an Inc nest. Shortly before his arrival
the thirdiady;supposed to be that of Rev.
Mr. Archer, of Clearfield, was found.under
the wreck in the run e _and was .brought by
!the Coroner to the city. A jury- was em-
Ipannelied and sworn, and after viewing
the bodies adjourned to meet at the Coro
ner's office Saturday, at ten o'clock, A. as.,
when the matter will be thoroughly inves
tigated:
After the accident tlie wreck took fire,
but fortunately the fire was - extinguished
every speedily., and the addition of the moat
fearful of horrors on such occasions, was
avoided.
As soon as the news-of the accident
reached Pittsburgh. Mr. J. B. Dorrington,
the efficient General Ticket Agent of the
company, went with sufficient force to the
scene of the occurrence, and did every
thing that could be done. On the side of
the embankment, and among the debris,
he found' several "sums of money; "some
watches and one or two chains whieh be
long to the - passengers. They:, will be re
turned' to those proving ownership.,
,Weather r
Mussus. Bnrrints After, "giving genie
items in my article on the weather, in the
GAZETTE of the 23d of Depetnber, the fol.
lowing appears: "This gradnallowering of
the temperature in the fall to the middle
of December has been generally a pre
/tide to a cold, natural winter, and from the
'abundance of snow being fixed in " the
north-east to the -west -we should infer it
would be a steady cold. But the indica
tions of the present (lunar) month point
to moderate weaher. Indications from
December 13th to January 12th point to
eighteen cloudy and variable, eleven snow
and rain, and eleven sunshine days, attnos

ter month, and but a Moderate amount of
snow. '..These; indications are:: ecnitrarf- to
our- expectations; but it - is presumed after
the middle Of January the • winterwill be
severe and prolonged, as there is a large
amount of snow lying', north, and a mild,
soft winter could not be expected." As it
may be fresh in the memories of yonr
readers. it may be found the indications
have so far proved,edrrect; and; froth pres

forty-eighty hours after, rain or snow, or
snow or rain, coming freely. 'closing the
storm with - snow, like last night; freezing,

for a third edition of winter. Indications
