End of the Trinity Church Controversy.
EDITORS GAZETTE: The following
°communication from Mr. Craig explains
itself. I ask its publication, as justify
ing the confidence I have always felt
that Mr. Craig, knowing that the Trinity
Church had purchased from a relative of
his, the situ of the old "Round Church,"
about A. D. 1805, and for many years oc
cupied it as their place of worship, felt
sure that if the lots ,on Sixth street
had belonged to the parish, such a
purehase would, nAt have been made, and
hence concluded• that the Sixth street
property did not belong to them. It is
much to Mr. Craig's credit that when
rightly informed as to the title, he so
fully and promptly makes due acknowl
, edgment of hiserror.
KING—j. have received the copy of
the deed to Jolla Gibson et al. I hasten
to acknowledge that I have made a great
blunder, and to say that I have written
to Harrisburg to withdraw my remon
strance. lam sure, sir, that you will do
me the justice of believing that I was
not actuated by any unworthy or *dishon
orable motive in the matter. Had all the
members of the Trinity Church treated
me with the same consideration that you
have done, the matter would not have
obtained the notoriety it has. I have no
excuse to offer, except that I was taken
by surprise by the announcement that a
bill was before the Senate, &a., and I had
only time to make a hasty and imperfect
examination., You will also see that the
deed bears the date of more than ayear
after the Pittsburgh Gazurrn announced
that the Penns had made another- dispo
sition of the ground.
If I felt that I bad any right, I would
still plead with you to spare the graves
of the old soldiers. With great respect,
I remain yours, &a., Crum.

JOSIAH KING.
The shooting affray at - the American
iTheatre, Monday night, an account of
which we published yesterday tmern
ling, is creating, considerable talk on the
Istreets. and it having been reported that
'there - were several police officers pres
ent when the shopting • was done, it has
been made the subject of a general reflec
tion on the police force. While we have
no hesitancy In censuring, a policeman
for refusing or neglecting to discharge
his duty under such circumstances, we
do not approve of the custom of abusing
the entire force for the negligence or
misconduct of one or two men.
We have boon credibly informed
that officers Long, Rivers and Ruch
were present when the shot was
fired, and after the shooting of Smythe,
which occurred in the lobby, Robinson
re-entered the Theatre and remained
several minutes. If such la the Case, the
conduct of these officers, if not wholly
inexcusable, at least demands some ex
planation; and it is due 'to the remainin g
members of the force that the - matter be
fully investigated, and the blame or negt
ligence placed where it properly belongs.
We do not know that the officers
named were present, or that they did not
do their duty if they were, but it is curt
rently reported that they were, and that
they might have made the arrest if they.
desired to do so, and it is due to them if
innocent that the matter should be In'
vestigated.
Hannah Morgan, proprietress of a
public house 'on Penn street, in
the Ninth ward, made - information
before Alderman. Taylor, yesterday;
against Thomas and Sarah Thema
and Tames Rolands `for- larceny. It
seems that the accused, who are strap- F
gars In the 'city, have been boarding at
the house of We. Morgan for a short
time. _The landlady states that yester

Ormu. Holism.—The Opera House was

pictures of the Cretan beauty, Madatr j 'e

beyond all question, the mosei fearless,
graceful and excellent performers on the

are truly astonishing : 'ln addition to the
Sanyeah exhibition. nowever, a very at-

Another Concert.
We know it will be gratifying to most
of our readers to learn that we aye to
have a first class musical entertain eat
la
here, produced entirely by home to ent.
That we have really a large number of
good artists among us, no one aL all ac
quainted in the community Will deny.
The great difficulty has been to get a suf
ficient number of them interested:enough
to endure the tedium of the long and nu
merous rehearsals required, in produc
ing any of the grand choruses of the old
masters.
Prof. Lawton and the "Grand Army of
the Republic" seem to have overcome
this difficulty, for from thirty to forty of
our best singers have been for some
weeks rehearsing such productions as
Hayden's "Hallelujah Chorus," Han
del's chorus of "The Heavens are Tell
ing;" selections from Mozart's Twelfth
Mass, Bishop's "Tramp Chorus," and a
number of "Old Folk's" songs and
hymns, with the intention of giving a
grand concert in "Old Folks" costume,
the proceeds to go to Post 117 G. A. R.,
located at East Liberty.
Under Prof. Lawton's skillful leader
ship a high degree of profialency has been
attained, and Itis really an evening's en
tertainment to hear so many trained
voices swelling in unison through the
difficult measures of the "Hallelujah"
alone. The concert will not be givens un
til the latter part of March, as all inter
ested are anxious to make it an entire
success. In the meantime the singers
have devoted themselves to study and
practice, and the gentlemen of Post 117
are waking all the necessary prepare•
tions to have the affair come off at the
Academy of Music.
Obstructing Sidewalks.
Mayor Brush it appears is determined
to enforce the ordinance relative to the
obstruction of sidewalks by merchants
and, others, by placing boxes, barrels,
Ate., upon them. A number of persona
have already been arrested and required
to pay the penalty prescribed for the of
fense, and yesterday informations were
made by officer Daniel McMullen against
nineteen others for the same offense.
The custom of blockading the sidewalks
has been enjoyed so long. that many
persons presume it an established right,
and consequently It will require a con
siderable effort on the part of the author
ities to abolish it; but a persOverance in
the course already .begun will doubtless
have the desired effect.

put to the trouble of gathering them

Tilt Tapper Committed.
John Berger, .a youth about eighteen
years of age, was committed to jail by
Alderman Eggers, of Allegheny, on Sat
urday, for robbing the money drawer of
a milk wagon. It seems that the vehicle
was standing on Chestnut street, in the
7th ward, while the proprietor, Mr.
John Bergenmier, was in a store near
by, attending to some business. When
he came out again he detected the as
cued just in the act of leaving the wag
on, and suspecting mischief, at once se
cured . him. A n examination of the
money drawer revealed a deficiency of
30 cents, which was afterward found up
on Berger, hence the information for lar
ceny upon which the accused was com
mitted for larceny.
