SIRS. SIDDONHAT TER ACADEMY. Last eveialeg, at thvAcitdemy sic, the spontaneous voice of an audience; which comprehended nearly all that is intellectual and highly caltured among the populations - of these cities,! awarded' to Mrs. Scott-Siddons' reading tor the 'Voting Mans' Library Association, ,the very highest Aribute of its appreciative admiration. We are told that this lady has won splendid triumphs) upon the stage to which her artistic gifts have been devo ted: by such of our readers as may haVe listened to her lastovening's presentation of a remarkably well-chosen programme for recitations, this will be more than be lieved. For the woman who, without the adventitious aids of the dramatic stage, its costhmes, .scenery, music, varied,4ld tiens aud •staud b e for e us critical eyebn.' I ,ei. cou •a c audience—dressed as tine was for the drawing-room, and relying' upon` no other help than the gilts given to her of her bitth-right—and could bring tilti 1 hearts; of so many hundreds of men and women captive to the,. power of her genius, is infinitely beyond the mere ac tress, no matter `how accomplished. She reigned iu the empire of heart and brain with the far loftier royalty which is im parted only to the purest and the best. We forbear any extended or minute criticism of these readings. Whether in the higher walks of comedy or in the sublime depths of. tragic expression, Mrs. Scott-Siddons - exhibited last even ing a delicacy of perception, a breadth of comprehension, a capacity for emotion, a Ilextbility of temperament, and . a touchingly sympathetic heart—all these united' - with a' chanting presence and a thoroughly tutored control of voice and , gesture—which gained for her the first place among read ers before any American audience. Whether in the : coquetry' of Rosalind, the maidenly ' coyness of Henry Vth's French bride, or in the horrors of the night-walking Lady Macbeth, or the exquisitely mournful accents of the girlish Queen , of May fading away at the new year and in &larch only a bride for the grave, Mrs. &claims exhibited a ver satility of genius and a power over the sensibilities which we have never before seen matched. A hundred judgments compared her to Fanny Kemble, and all agreed that airs. Kemble, as she had been in her earliest and best days; was fairly eclipsed. • The gems of the evening—lf we may venture upon an invidious distinction, where everything was of' the highest or der of tnerit,—were the renderings from Macbeth and the May Queen. The one fixed all the laws of the heart, while the other went straight home to the tender est sensibilities of the coldest natures. In truth, there were scores in that house w - ho saw, each for themselves, that dy ing girl unlock:the gates which for many a year bad sealed the tomb of dead and buried sorrows of their owe, and made it almost a profanity to scan the audience for the palpable revelations .which dis closed how many of those listeners had themselves been acquainted with a kin dred grief. We bespeak for the readings to-night a crowded house; and this not because we would ,compliment the reader, nor even because we wish well to the treasury of the Association, but: rather:because we would not have one among our friends to ibis an entertainment, wnich seen will be appreciated and; held. , to , be incow. parably superior to anything of its kind ever before witnessed in our city. OPERA 110 - USE.-.-The apPearande of Ettie Henderson at the Opera House last , , night was bailed with pleasure by the lovers of the legitimate drama r many of whoa were tired of the:eine run of bur lesque with which we have been favored. There ,wwis „adarge and ,select audience present to triton the / favorite on her return to the profession to which she was an ornament. She appeared last evening in the "Lancashire Lass," in the role of Ruth Kirby. The piece is a beautiful • English drama, partaking Inet enough or the sensational to render it highly inter esting. The east was a most admirable one throughout, and the audience was highly pleased with the entertainment. The piece will be repeated.tcenlght. PITTSBURGH TB KATRE.—The Gregory combination troupe, which a Tew:weeke since played a very. successful engage out inthileity, have returned, and are tow holding forth at thefettaburgh The atre. They opened last' night to a full house, and will doubtless continue to draw full houses during the short time they will be here. Their engagement is for one week only. THE Anse:Lome Tete. aTite.—Manager Smythe , continues to provide excellent entertainments for the patrons of the American Theatre, late Tritnble's Varie ties, of which establishment he is man ager. "Miss Taylor, In ePocahontas,'' made a decided, hit last night, and--re ceived the applause of the entire audi- ence. The company at this ,establish ment is an excellent one, and the enter tainments are good. THE GRAND CHARITY FAIR which has been so successfully and creditably con ducted during the past two weeks in the basement of St. Paula Cathedral, will be brought to a close this evening, to•mor rew lweing Ash Wednesday, when the season or lent forbids such festivities. The various articles will be rallied and sold at auction, while the centesta will be closed by sealed ballots. We earn estly urge our readers to attend the Fair on tills its final evening.

Messrs. J, it.

They put up at a hotel, and after supper the men went out .to a drinking saloon, where they remained until slate hour drinking, playing cards, &o. The woman, who had been left alone at the hotel, after waiting some thne t for her husband to return. became uneasy and started out in search of him. After a short search she leund him with the rest of the party in the saloon. The en tire party were intoxicated, and the wo man fearing her husband might get into trouble, endeavored to persuade him to accompany her to the hotel. Ills comr panions objected to him leaving, but ter considerable persuasion he, was in duced to go with' ber. Ms companions still protested against his leaving theft'. and act followed him and his wife with the intention of porsuadingp to return to the saloon. Moon It appears was ing as leltder of the 'patty, and in order do prevent the 'man' from going with his wife took hold ot his coat and insisted upon him r etutning to the saloon. The woman remonstrated with them for some time, but finding, it of no avail, theup a club and struck Moon over the head, killing him instantly. ' Justice Troupe held an inquest on the body, but the Investigation had not been concluded. The entire party were lir rested and are now confined in the MeV. cer county Jail, awaiting the result of the investigiition. • Difficulty AbOut Howie Rent. • Adam Berry made information yester day before Alderman „Humbert against Wrh. Keller for false pretence. The in forniation is the result of a difficulty in regard to the payment of the rent of a house, 303 Robinson street, Allegheny. Berry alleges that Keller rented him the premises at a rental of twenty dollars per month, and represented that he owned the house. One month's rent was paid in advances.and the reat..was paid in a similar manner. Subsequently it ap peared that Mr. A. Woodward owned the house, and had in his possession a landlord's warrant for the collection of the rent, signed by Keller, and by virtue of which he ordered a levy on the goods in the house, Keller having failed to pay him the rent according to the agreement, but, according to the allegations, being in receipt of the money from Benny and appropriating it to his own use. After a hearing in the case, Keller gave, bail for trial at the next term of Court. In the meantime Berry's goods will be sold if he does not pay rent, which he does not, as he alleges, lawfully o we. The rea-son urged by Keller for acting as he is charged with doing, is that the person who went security for on the land lord's warrant owes ihitn forty dollars, which he takes this method of collect ing. • The case, if all the statements are true, is a peculiarly aggravated one. Lecture in teaietteville. Rev. H. C. McFarland, of Noblestown, lectured before the .t'Fayette Literary Society," in the M. E. Church, in. Fay etteville, on . Friday evening, Feb. sth, his subject tieing "The Three Great Prop-' erties of Man.", It was truly a brilliant and charming address, and was listened to with marked attention. Mr. McFar land showed that the intellectual train ing of youth was very often attended to the entire neglect of the moral, and spoke of the responsibility that rested on all parents and teachers in training the "hope of the country" In the right war. At times the speaker was truly eloquent 1 and his word painting brilliant. We were sorry, indeed, that th audi ence was not as large as it shout have been, but this was . perhaps, owin to the bad state of the roads and the "other places to go" on that evening.' Rev..l. J. Beaman will deliver the next lecture of the course, at the same'place, on Thursday evening, Feb. 18th. Alleged False : Pretence. • William Coleman alleges that William Porter obtained a wagon on credit from hills valued at one hundred - and live dol- , fat* by representing that he was em ployed at the Poor Farm, and lisid money duo him from the Superintendent to the amount of two hundred dollars, which he 'would receive hi a or two and pay for the vehicle. day by : these statements obtained 'possession of the, wagon, Coleman further alleges that Porter, in an:hour or , two afterwards, sold it to a countryman for eighty dol lars, and pocketed the cash.

Chronicle last evening took occasion to furnish the following graceful notice of a new time piece just secured by the Connellsville Railroad company : Messrs. J. R. Reed & Co., No. 68 Fifth street, have just received one of those very fine Railroad Regulators !vont Ilow- a and & CO., the celebrated watch and clock manufacturers, of .Boston. The works are finished in exquisite style,and with as much care, and precision as the finest watch. The pendulum is mercu rial, with four columns of sufficient length to compensate for the expansion or contraction of the rod by, heat or cold. The accuracy with which the works are adjusted may be conjectured from the fact that a one and a half pound weight is all that is required to drive the wheels and to swing the pendulum, which is of about thirty-five pounds weight. The Regulator will be put up in the office of the Pittsburgh It Connellsvilie Railroad Co., and the trains on the road will be run by it. In operating a railroad, relia ble time is Indispensable, and President Hughart gives evidence of his apprecia tion of this fact by securing one of the finest clocks made in this• or any other country. In this connection we may .re mark that our neighbors, Messrs. J. R. Reed & Co., have, for more than twelve years past, made fine time a specialty, and at considerable expense erected a transit instrument ),±i order .that Ahoy, might take it correctly,'; "even' to the smallest fraction . of a sectifid.' They' have shcceeded in establishing a gbputa tion for standard time, and have in thCir store one of the finest regulators which can be purchased. This firm are reaping the reward of their efforts, as they are recognized as the, regulators of the time for the city authorities, the various rail roads, and our citizens generally. Their standingis further evinced by the fact that they are entrusted with the furnish.: ing of regulators for so many public places, as well as fine presentation watches.
