nearly all sacred,- and all of it simple
and Cimiliar; but as rendered by Mr.
Phillips at times assisted by Mr. Davis, his illimitable bass, gave great
- pleasure and satisfaction to the very large

were exceedingly impressive, and will
0 not soon be forgotten.

of the head extending down to the right
eye, and the other in the left breast. The
parties bad come to this city on the
church train in the morning, when they
got into a",quarrel, which • was renewed
on their return. Information was made
before a justice of the peace in Sharps
-burg against Ferguson, who it appears
made his escape immediately after the
cutting, and he has not since been heard
-from.
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.

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,

was read in a clever manner by M. Ar

andsuiting the words to the third verse
with action, caused much merriment by
plunging his knife "trenching the gush

same as an American white pudding)
and serving it around the boards.

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.

"May peace and plenty be the lot.
Peace and plenty, peace and plenty,
Peace and plenty, be his lot.

• May peace and plenty, be kis lot

lie humble oil" gin and wonderfal genius
of the - Seatttah Bardropottng
tram his works„ which were selected
with good taste and spiritedly rendered,
exhibiting the highest' element of true
eloquence, giving unerring evidence that
while his words were from the immoirtal
poet, the sentiment came gushing from
his own heart.
"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.
Cuenrrr Fmn.—The Chatity Fair
which opened - in the basement of the
Cathedral last evening, promises to be a

the sick and poor, the enterpise is' a
worthy one, and the community It ap
pears.view It In that light, and willingly
bestow upon it a liberal patronage.
