Parts of the torercises were exceedingly impressive, and will 0 not soon be forgotten.

Pittsburgh Female College. This well known and popular educti. tional institution continues to flourish, and is gaining influence and favor every day. The last half of the winter term, just commenced, is even more largely attended than any previous term, there being but one vacancy in the boarding department. This is cer tainly a gratifying exhibit, and evinces in a more forcible degree than any lan-. guage, the appreciation and esteem in which the institution is held. President Pershing and his able corps of assistants have reason to be proud of the success attending their efforts. Serious Occident A serious accident occurred yesterday morning at Coleman's Mills, in the Twelfth ward, by which William Yost was severely injured: Mr. Yost was em . ployed at the mill, and while engaged at his work the sleeve on his right arm was caught in the coupling of some shafting, and his arm, being drawn swiftly around with the shafting, was broken and torn apartatove the elbow, the hand and fore arm remaining attacned to the shaft. The injured man was conveyed at once to the office of Dr. C. Y. Jacoby, and after an examination it was found necessary to take the' arm off at the shoulder joint. This wax promptly done by Dr. James Robinson, assisted by Drs. C. Y. Jacoby and L. F. Arensberg. The patient is doing as well as could be expected. A IMarepatable Practice. •There are few men connected with. •the cattle business in Allegheny, wbo do not attend the stock yard on Sunday, thus getting the choice, and ahead of •their,more conscientious and reverential fellow traders. Time and again, com plaints have been made to the atitbori 41es In word to this practice, but owing to the , etticulty of making out a positive .ease, the offenders have escaped punish-, ment: Tasterday, a couple of dealers named respectively C. H. I3oulton and John Clark, were arrested for engaging in this praelce, and after a hearing. fined each twenty-five dollars and costs, according to the city ordinance.

Celebration of the Mil Anniversary .of _ the Death of Scotland's National Poet, Robert Burns, the Ploughboy. —` , Read the names that know not death, Few nobler ones than Burns are there, . And few have won a greener wreath Than that which DMus his hair." One hundred and ten years ago yester day. came into life, surrounded by no` pomp or show, but in humbleness and obscurity, an infant consecrated to the muses and destined to fill the world th admiration, and make for himself a name that will never die while there is an honest Scottish heart beneath the plaid, or while English literature is ex tant. A century and decade of swift rolling years have passed away since birth was given near the town of Ayr, the Kirk of Alloway, and the "Auld brig o' Doon" to Robert Burns, the Sweet song writer, whose poetry, gushing from a heart free from the guiles of sin and wickedness, but filled with purity and love, found way into the affections of the People, and with the author, was en shrined to there remain forever. The Scottish people center much national lride in the poet who found birth in their and and fame, in the world of letters, and cherish his memory with a rever ence and respect which does credit to their hearts, and mirrors the pat riotism and love of country which wells 'within their bosoms. No class of citizens in these communities oc cupy higher social position than the Scotch, none are more worthy place in intellectual circles, none truer to the land they have left with its mem= ()ries and legends, its song and story; and yet none are more devoted to • the new homes they enjoy, none truer to the flag of our country, none more zealous in advancing the cause of Liberty and Equality, and in sustaining the Repub lic, with its noble institutions and bless ed peculiarities, to which they have ac knowledged allegiance. With their de votion to the fine arts, national pride and love of song and poetry, they would not permit the anniversary of the birth of Burns to pass by unheeded as any ordi nary day of the calendar, but to the con trary mark each returninir occasion in a fitting and appropriate manner. It was in accordance with this custom that last night an assemblage of several hundred persons, ladies and gentlemen, gathered together in the lecture room of the Second United Presbyterian Church in Allegheny, to celebrate the CXth an niversary of the birth of the poet. The party was made , up of oar most respec ted citizens, chiefly Scotch and of Scot& extraction, and was so constituted as to secure a pleasant and enjoyable evening. AL eight o'olck the guests were seated at sundry tables arranged with exquisite taste and neatness, and groaning beneath the weight of the good things spread upon them. Divine blessing was in voked by Re. Dr. Allison, in a fervent and eloquen appeal to the Throne of i Grace, after which the good things spread disappeared before the company, who displayed as much energy of appetite as would have done credit to the proverbial American diners. At an interval of the courses at the supper, agreeably to -usage at such occa sions, Burn's address to a haggis, ..ralr-fat your honest; sonsie face, Great Calettain o' the paddin race!

Ar thur Kirk, whose idiom was faultless, andsuiting the words to the third verse with action, caused much merriment by plunging his knife "trenching the gush ing entrails bright" into the haggis (the same as an American white pudding) and serving it around the boards. After the cloths were removed, on mo tion of Mr. JOhn Brown, Jr., the meet ing organiz3d by selecting the following officers: President—A. Leggate, Esq. Vice Presidents—Messrs. Wm. Walker Robt. Forrester, D. Dallas, Arthur Kirk, , Robe. Henderson. Secretaries-=,Messrs. Win. Semple and Wm. Hamilton.. On assuming the chair the President, Mr. A. Leggate. in a felicitous manner briefly addressed the company, return ing. his thanks for the honer conferred and wittily urging his friends to enjoy themselves on 1 the happy occasion in such manner as to furnish a display of spontaneous combustion. The following letters of 'regret were then read by the Secretary: • PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 6, 1869. Meths. Wm.

"Happy are we" was then rendered in their usual exquisite style of voealiza f tion by Prof. Slack's_ popular quartette club. The second regular toast was "To the lasses." Responded to by Rev. Mr. Al bright by letter, that gentleman having been detained abroad. The missive, 'abounding in poetical selections from Burns' writings, elicited the heartiest admiration. It concluded with the sen timent "The land of honest men and bonnie lasses." "Barring the Door" was sung with charminggrace and spirit by Mr. W. A. Ellis, who responded to aclamorous encore by singing with inimitable humor " Glasgow Fair." "Poets and Poetry of Scotland" was the next sentiment to which, according to programme, Mr. A. Carnegie was to have responded; bat owing to the deten tion of at home by sickness, the company was deprived of listen ing to that gentleman whose re sources of wit and humor has made him famous. We were among those who de plored his absence, as he would have contributed largely to the general en joyment. Mr. William Hamilton, in response to invitation, sang with much gusto "Heather Hill," which so pleased his au dience that he was again drawn upon for "Allister McCallister " which he ren dered with much sp irit and good taste. The Allegheny 'Quartette Club sang with fine effect "Union, God and Liber ty," after which the "United States" were toasted, followed by "Allegheny City," and "There is no place like Home." Song, sentiment and speech making followed, but owing to the late ness of the hour we were forced to depart, reluctant to leave the good na tured party behind us, L but the press wouldn't wait, and we couldn't tarry. In conclusion, we must say that the celbration reflected .much credit to the association under whose tip : spices it was me ld, and tia our Scotch peo ple generally. We congratulate the managers on the excellent choice made in selecting Leggate as presiding .officer for the (occasion. He has genius for such affairs which enables him to so direct and manage that all may - enjoy . themselves, and to fill up all interstices of time and circumstances in such a man ner as to prove conducive to the general pleasure. Fire in Birmingham—Pittsburgh Glass Works Destroyed. A fire occurred in Birmingham about eleven o'clock A. at. yesterday, {Monday,) by which the . Pittsburgh Glass Works, , located trt the corner of Washington and Joseph streets, were totally destroyed. The fire originated in the packing room, where there was a large quantity of straw and other inflammable material, and In less than twenty minutes :the entire building was in flames. The works were owned. by Messrs. D. McAfee, Samuel Taylor,McCombs, Totten and Captain E. S. right. They were in operation when the tire broke out, and the flames spread with such great rapidity that sev eral of the employes narrowly escaped falling a prey to the devouring element. A number of buildings in the vicinity were in imminent danger of destruction, several of them being on fire at one time, but through the efforts of the fire men and citizens who had assembled at the scene of conflagration the flames were subdued and confined to the build ing in which they originated. The build ing was a frame structure and conse quently burned very rapidly. We were unable to ascertain the extent of the loss, but presume it will be quite heavy, as there was a considerable quantity of stock on hand and the building was com paratively new. —Since writing the above we learn that the loss is estimated at 520,000, upon which there was an insurance of 515,300 in the following companies: Actual 55,200; Albany 52.500; Putnam 52500. Commer cial exchange 52,550; 'lnternational 52,550. A Foundling'. A male child, supposed to be about four months qld, was left at the house of Mr. Evan Davis, Carson street, South Pittsburgh, about half-past six o'clock last evening. The child was discovered• by a gentleman who had called at Mr. D's about . lialf.past five o'clock In the evening, and was about to take his de partare, when, accompanied by a lady, he proceeded to the front door, and upon opening the inside door found the little waif lying between that and the outer door, enveloped in an old shawl. Upon removing the shawl the clothing on the child were found to be neat and clean. Mr. D. having no way of taking proper care of the youngster, went to Mayor Blackmoro to know what he should do with it. He was directed to take it to Mr. R. H. Davis, Director of the Poor of Allegheny County, but as the hour was too late to - find that gentleman, a lady was found who consente& to take charge of the child until this morning, when it will be turned over to Mr. Davis. Mr. Davis has not the slightest idea from whence the child came, and there was nothing about it that would likely lead to the discovery of who its, parents were. Drugs, Perfumeries, ae. Drugs, perfumeries and articles of a aligner character, when needed at all, are always required to be pure and gen uine, and the establishment , which is known to keep a stock of this descrip on hand must, as a zonsequence, become successful and popular. Such an estab lishment is that of Mr. James T. Sample, . at .the corner of Federal and Robinson streets, Allegheny. Every article of fered for sale, whether it be be in fine drugs, choice perfumery, or the number lop fancy, articles which every first plias drug house deals in, bears with it to every purchaser the rep utation of the establishment, and 'will be found to be satisfactory in every particular as far as represented. In con-, nection with his regular trade, Mr. Sam ple is also agent for the isale of a few specialtlei in the patent medicine line, .the merits of which are made apparent to the most doubtful bra fair trial. He invites an examination of hie stook, sat isfied that in price and quality he can hilly compete with any other establish ment of a good character in . -either city.
