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.

return to the profession to which she was
an ornament. She appeared last evening
in the "Lancashire Lass," in the role of

-4-17---Ebanteides
A rumor was current at the Union
Depot, yesterday that a murder had been
~!coMmittedinJamestown,Mercer county,
'about one o'clook on Sunday morning,
under the following circumstances:
Martin 'Moon, a silk peddler, and several
companions, accomparded by the wife of
one of the parties, left this city on Satnr
,day morning, arriving at Jamestown the
same evening. 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.

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.

The. Pittsburgh. 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.

Many Yeais ago the writer of this no

surprising and beneticial effects of the
