Candless Common Plem;--.Sodge• Stowe Mysterious Disappearances. About ten days since four well known butchers of Allegheny city, simultane ously disappeared from their places of business and homes, leaving thei lam ides in very destitute 'circumstances. The wife of one of the parties- has since received a letter from her absent.husband dated New York city, sad stating that becoming tired of America he had deter mined to return to "Faderland," and would be on his journey across the ocean before she receive the epistle. L . She and the four child n were recom mended to the charitie or her friends and the world. A lette also been received from Kansas, from a friend of one of the other families, conv,eying the intelligence of the' arrival there of the remaining three, delinquents, who were looking round I for employment, having lost all their means somehow or other on the journey. Allofthe families thus heartlessly deserted have been left, It is said, penniless and utterly destitute. No cause can be assigned for t he action of the mantis they were well established Inbusiness and apparently prosperous. The affair Inas caused considerable ex citement ln those circles in which the parties are known. A Disazreeable Tenant.—Adam Weis set made information before Alderman Strain yesterday against Geo. Eschwell, for assault and battery. kWeissel states that ho is the owner of a house on Coal Hill, occupied by EschWell. • torch Yes be accompanied a gentleman premimes, with a•view of disposing of the property, but was met by Escliwell and shoved out of the blase, hence the suit. A warrant was issued.. _, • ~:ltaiterelipps74lloir They do Things in Chi ago: Last week proposalswere received and opened by the Board of Public Works, of Chicago for furnishing that Citywith the following water mains, for the further extension of their magnificent system of water work ;: Four miles ofZi bath pipes weighing 2,700 lbs eivh Two. 10 T.co" •12 • • 4)0 • • Fi v e ' 8 •• •• 600 •• Ten " •• •• 440 " Ten " 4 • • • Making in all about thirty-three milet. At the time specified for the opening of bids, the office of the Board presented quite a lively appearance, every pipe et , tablishinent in the country being repre sented. The following is a list of bids I offered: Wm. Smith, of. Pittsburgh, offered 4 inch pipe at 5,79,90, 6 inch at $78,90, 21 inch at $75,25, and castings at $95,90 per ton. • Dennis Long, of Louisville, offered 4 inch pipe at 577,50, 6 inch at $76, 24 inch at $74,60, and castings at 597 per ton. T. G. Gaylord & Co., of Cincinniti, offered 6 inch pipe at 578, 8 inch at $7B, and 24 inch at $74 per, ton. Nickell Harrison & 'Co., of St. Louis, offered 12 inch pipe ad 577, and castings at $9O per ton. S. Fulton & Co., of Philadelphia, of-- fared 4 :nch pipe at $B2, 6 inch at $77, 8 inch at 575, 12 inch, at 575.80, 16 inch at 574,80, 24 inch at 573,80, and castings at 590 per ton. R. D. Wood &, Co. of Philadelphia, offered 4 inch at 577,50, 6 inch at 575,40, 8 inch at 575,40,.12 inch at $74, 24 inch at 572,80, and castings at $B9, per ton. Harrison & Co., New York, offered pipes at $B3 and castings at 5108 per ton. It will be seen at a glance that Pittsburgh gave those Eastern foundries quite a close fight, and kf we had, as those East ern works have, water communication with the lakes, the work would have come to Pittsburgh, and even yet there is some probability of its coming here. Owing to the large number of bids of fered, no award has yet been made. _ The city of Chicago has already laid some forty miles of pipes, some of which , are of the largest calibre; but owinirto the rapid, growth of the city, theyl.now contemplate laying nearly as much more, as they are determined to supply the whole city with that essential and necessary wholesome beverage, pure water, no matter at what cost. Would it not be well for ,our city au. thorities to look at .our water supply through a "Chicago telesc,epe,!' and as they have now began the gcod work use this instrument freely and, extend to the newly consolidated districts all the ad vantages the old city has been so long enjoying. The last season has been one of the bu siest that our city has seen for years, in our various improvements, and the man ner the authorities have treated, and pro pose extending the various city facilities_ to our new districts, has shown them that it was greatly to their benefit to be- Caine part of this great city; and this lib erality has produced quite a change of sentiment among the citizens of our neighboring city and boroughs, to such an extent that they are now anxious and seeking to be consolidated with us. • East Birmingham Council.

As It has been stated in printed cir culars that the aeneral Convention in Oc tober last authorized the use of Hymns, ancient and modern, in the services of the Church, I hereby give notice that such a statement is entirely' erroneous. The Bishop of each Diocese was author ized to license the wkole or a part of that and of the book "Hymns for Church and Home," at his discretion, fork use in the services of the Church in his own Dioccise., No such license, has as yet .been issued in this Diocese, but it is my purpose soon to send the proper notice and license on this subject to the clergy and congregations of the Diocese. The Hymns in the Prayer Book and the "Ad ditional Hymns," are the' only ones at present authorized for use in 'public 'worship. B. KEtwocrr, Bishop of Pittsburgh.
