Abating a Plulsance.—The mayor, is

l/lunto. Upon promising to abate the
nuisance and discontinue the custom
th.y were discharged on payment of
evere Fall.—Tuesdaymorning as Mr.

MEM
The illlverwire Robbery.
Ourreadere willrememberthe stealing
of a lot of silverware from the honie of
Mr. McGinness, on Charttars street, Al
higheny,"some time since, an account of
which we published. At the time no
clue to the robber could be obtained, but
slibsequent developments set the police
on the track of the supposed thiefand led
to his arrest, in the Opera House, by
Chief of Police Bowden. on Thurs
day evening last. It seems that a
neighbor of Mr. McGinness, on the
day before the robbery, noticed a
boy prowling around the premises,
and keeping a close watch on his move
ments at last detected him in the act of
breaking open a small tool box in the
wash shed attached to the house. He
endeavored to arrest the boy, and after
a long chase succeeded in capturing nim
on Ridge street. The boy;gave his name
as Wm. Hamill, and begged hard to be
released. A search of his clothing
revealed no stolen articles, and his
captor not wishing to prosecute the
matter further allowed " him to depart.
The next day the robbery of the silver
ware was discovered, and a day or two
afterwards the neighbor meeting . Mr.
McGinness informed him of the circum
stance and gave a description of the boy
he had captured, which description, as
we have said, was the means of securing
his arrest. The boy continued to assert
his innocence of all knoWledge of the
affair until yesterday afternoon, when he
admitted that a companion named Flinn
had confessed that he had stolen
the silver ware, andfiid them at a house
on Carson street, Birmingham. although
he could not tell the exact house.
Whether this statement be true or not,
has not yet been discovered, as the boy
Flinn, who is known to the police, has
managed to keep himself out of the way
since the arrest of Hamill. Mr. Mc-
Guinness states he has received a prop
osition from some parties, not the police,
agreeing to return :the goods for fifty
dollars, provided no quetsions were
asked. As the siverware stolen was val
ued at nearly three hundred dollars, it
would bo much better to pay this than
to lose all, but the owner thinks he can
recover his property by other means,
and is - unwilling to pay such a price for
a simple act of justice.
The boy Hamill will have a hearing
to-day, and if no more direct,testimony
implicating him in the robbery can be
obtained, will doubtless be discharged.
Another Libel' Case,
William Keenan and James H. Clark,
editors and publishers of, the Democrat
and Republican, Greensburg. Westmore
land county, have been held to hail in
the sum of five hundred dollars to ap
pear at the coming term of the Quarter
Sessions, in this county, to answer a
charge of libel, on information of A.
Bowser, of Irwin's station, Westmore
land county. The alleged libelous publi
cation was an article which appeared in
the paper named, stating that the prose
cutor. Bowser, had committed a feloni
ous assault and.battery, and that he had
been arrested 'arid , held to bail in the
sum of one thousairadollars answer to
the charge, :which it is alleged is false.
Informatirst -Xoade ,before a
Justice of .the. Peace- Braddoek's
Fields, who'zimsited'his• wiirant, upon
which the' Parties were arrested and
brought Wore him - for hearing. After
hearing the evidence. he decided to dis
charge the accused, fOr the reason, as he
stated, that no evidence • had been
brought before him to show that the
prosecutor had sustained any damage•
from the publication. The counsel for
the prosecutor, H. H. McCormick, Esq.,
endeavored to convince him that it was
not his province to try the case. but
merely to ascertain whether there were
probaole grounds for a prosecution, but
without avail.
The case was dismissed and the parties
came to the city, where, it - appears, an
information was made ,before Alderman
Nicholson, who, after a hearing, held the
accused to bail, as stated.
Shoplifting.
"A young woman called at Eaton's
trimming store. on Fifth avehue. Thurs
day evening, and while examining some
goods was noticed by, the lady who was
waiting upon her, secreting n switch of
false hair under her sacque. When she
learned that she had been detected in
the act she ran out of the store, and had
proceeded as far as Liberty street before
she wss overtaken by the police, who
started in pursuit of her as soon as noti
fied of the occurrence. In her haste she
dropped the hair, which was worth about
forty dollars, upon the sidewalk, where
it was subsequently found. She was
taken to the lock-up, but as there was
no ihformation made against her she
was discharged.
—Since the above was written we'learn
that an. Information for larceny was
ina_ie against the girl, but that, atter
learning the particulars of the case. it
I was withdrawn. - The girAis only fifteen ,
years of age and the daughter of highly
respectab:e parents, and. it appears, had
been induced to take the articles by an
I older person.
I Yr-sierdaY morning another switch of
1 hair and a plum, both of which bad been
stoltn from Mr. Eaton's store, were
found in a cellar, where, it is presumed,
they Laid been thrown by the girl in her
flight, and were returned.
Die garbler Stube.
A neater paper than this new German
Monthly has, we venture to say, never
been.ssued in this country. In general
appearcnce, it is not unlike Munich's
celebrated comic paper, Die Fliegande
Bloater. Messrs. Fries di' iliszricb, its
publishers, in their salutatory, state that
their object is to present the advertise.
merits of their German fellow-cltiiens
in such a shape as -to entertain and at
tract the attention of their, readers. Tak
ing the drAL number as a specimen. we
presume they have succeeded, as, the ad
vertisements are presented disgtiised in
merry conundrums, ridiculous verses,
anti disrespectful transpositions of selec
tions frotn the works of celebrated au
thors. Beside this a sufficient quantity
of reading matter is given to render the
"Barber Shop" a welcome guest to its
subscribers. If this quaint German co
temporary. meets with the /SUCCORS we
wish it, it will cease to be it monthly and
become a fortnightly paper.
Malitious Dlladder.
John Ripon made information before
Aidertnan'ilitalasters, yesterday, against
Patrick Parodine,for maliCions mischief.
The prosecutor states that • Parodine
rented a, house, located in the Ninth
ward, froMhim and occupied it for two
months, at/ the end of which tittle: he
moved adrayibe, night 'time, not be
fore had; however, damaged the house
to a considerable extent by breaking the
locks off the doors,' tearing down some
of the plasteriny, ou the walls, bre king
the windows and playing smash gener-
ally. No cause atm be assigned for the
alleged action of Patrick, as he had
promptly paid his rent and was on the
loiest of terms with his landlord. He will
havo ri opportunity - to explain, however r
as a svarr wit for his arrest was issued. _

City Ball and , the Markets.
The Market Committee, after.lt careful
inspection of the Pity lull, made yester
day, have concluded to ml Comicihi for
~ .
an appropriation of not less, than two
thousand dollars to defray the
of ptitting it in good condition for rent
ing. As it now stands it is fearfully . out
,
of order and practically unfit for any of.
the purpose? for which designed. The
walls and ceiling are thick with dirt, and
in many Places the plaster and stucco
work have fallen away, the windows are
out of gear, the doors broken and hinge
less, the floor kineven and ragged, and,
altogether. the hall is a wretched bar
racks, with neither conveniences nor
comforts, and if not at once repaired had
better be converted into a market place
or locked up until such tiaaesB it can be
put in good ordet.. , T l e Committee
think that by the expandit roof a couple
of thousand dollars the ha I can be Imade
more acceptable for parti , literary en
tertainments, lectures and concert* than
any other of our places o similar 'char
acter, and at the same ti e be made a
source of large revenue to the city. It
is proposed, should the "Medial appropri
ations be granted by Councils, to repaint
the inside woodwork, repair the floor,.
windows and doors, fresco the cell
and walls, and generally overhaul
commodious room and its entrances. ' t
is also proposed to extend the ro o m
back of and above the stage, so as tp
iii
cover the stage and form a large galle
to be used for a dining-room to a -
commodate balls and parties. The' plan
will not detract from the symmetry of
the hall, but will rather add to its appear
ance than otherwise, and furnish a much
desired apartment, the want of which
has lost many a dollar to the city, parties
being forced to rent halls with such
needful conveniences attached. -
The market buildings were visited by
the Committee, and in some minor re
spects were found sadly out of order,
and the Superintendent was instructed
to have necessary repairs made Without
delay.
We have before us the Wino incorpor
ate the Western Oil and Pipe Ciiinpany,
which, has excited much opposition, and
yet has passed the House on its third
reading. The bill grants the Company
the privilege of holding one thousand
acres of real estate and so much more as
may be found necessary for its purposes.
The capital stock is fixed at one hundred
thousand dollars, with privilege to in
crease a sum sufficient to complete the
work and carry on the .business of the
Corripiny. They , have the -right upon
commission or otherwise to purchase,
sell or otherwise dispose of oil and oil
' lands, mine or bore for oil, store, insure,
ship and transport petroleum, and
may erect tanks for storage and
lay down, construct and connect
therewith iron tubing from any points in
the counties of Venango, Warren, Craw
ford and Erie, to other points •by any
route chosen. The company has the
right to take, use and occupy.such lands
as may be:necessary for the tanks and tu-
bing and for all branches and the erec
tion of necessary machinery, to be ap
praised and paid for in the legal *ay.
The company is granted the authorityto
issue seven per cent. bonds not : exceed-,
ing 8100,000, to be Bold at such prices as
the directors may decide. • The toll for
-the transportation and.storage of oil is
left tolls corojitiny tO decide.
TheMashie Men—Foul Flay Suspected.
In the case of the eve men , who wore
supposed to have been- drovvned in the
Monongahela .river, on Friday of last
week, it is believed by many that the
parties have been foully dealt with.
There are circumstances connected with
the case which might at least justify a
suspicion of this character.
It is said that several of the party in
addition to having valuable watches
with them when they left borne, also had
considerable money in - their possession.
And persona who are acquainted with
the condition of the river between Mor
gantown and Geneva can scarcely be led
to believe that tiVe men could be drowned
by the capsizing of a skiff at any point
between the places named, as the , water
Is shallow, exceptin cases of a freshet,
the channel clear and the stream nar
row.- Sixty' men have for two days past
been dragging the river above Geneva,
I • but,up till noon yesterday, when our M-
I torment left, no trace of either of the
bodies had been discovered.
We have frequently called' the atten-
tion of our readers to the quality of the
ware manufactured by Messrs. Keif er.
Company, Keystone Pdttery, No. 363
Liberty street, not only because of our
desire to have home manufacturers re
ceive the patronage of the community
most benetitted by them, but on account
of the superiority of their ware over that
of other manufacturers, in beauty of
style and finish, strength and durability
and cheapness. The table ware manu
factured at this establishment is equal if
not superior to the finest article of Liver
pool s%are, and possesses all the excel
lent qualities of the celebrated stone
china. It is not affected by heat, never
cracks, and always retains a smooth sur
face and clear white color. -
Elizabeth Signaillee made informs ,
tion before Aide' man McMasters yester
day against William alias "Snibbs"
Arnold. for felonious assault and bat
tery. Sarah Sanders also made informa
tion before the same magistrate against
the saute defendant, for assault and
batt ,, ry. Mrs. Signaillee is proprietress
of a small fruit and confectionery es
tablishment on Canal street, and she
alleges that "Snibbs" came into the es
tablishment, and after striking her,
drew a revolver and threatened to take
her life. Sarah Sanders, the other pros
-ecutrix, was 'in the store at the time,
and sho alleges that he also made an at
tack'upctn her. The accused wad found
in jail, and commitments were. accord:
ingly lodged against him. '
It appears that there were three mon
engaged in the confidence operation, by.
which the German farmer was swindled,
an account of which Was published lu the
.
GAZETTF, of yesterday. They are de
tiribed as. follows: A large man with
blitokohin whiskers, who walks with a
cane; a email man with light chin whis
kers, wearing a cap and stall, slim man,
with black chin whiskers and blaCk felt
hat. It will readily be observed ,that,
"whiskers" is a very prominent feature
id the description of all confidence: ope
rigors, and it abould at the'same time be
remembered that these W i ll ikkors are gen
erally false, and teat the mkn with the

The Premium Trunk Factery--.Toseph
Liebler, Proprietor.
With each returning year the popu
larity and prosperity of this extensive
and well Managed • home institution;
Liebler's trunk factory, No. 101 Wood
street, becomes more marked and de
aided, and the trade assumes , vast pro
portions. This flattering condition of af
fairs is largely attributed to the fact that
the goods manufactured by the house
have ever been regarded as the very best
in the market, and of auchsuperi6rity as
to make them standards for comparison
of all others. It has, in • this section of
country at least, become a common say
ing in illustration of durability and ex
cellence thall "it is as strong as Liebler's
'trunks," and there is hardly a household
but boasta of having a trunk from the
great premium factory. Mr. Liebler,
though quite a young man, has in a few
years attained a reputation for his man
ufactures that others might labor unsuc
cessfully a lifetime to acquirS, and all
through nothing more than a close and
rigid attention to his business and a care
and desire to have every trunk, valise or
satchel which leaves his house_sastain
the superiority of his trade mark. _ In
order to accomplish that much he em
ploys none but thoroughly • skilled
workmen, to whom he pays good
wages, .uses nothing but the very best
of materials, and gives personal
inspection to every article which
goes to make up nis large stock. It is
not to be wondered at then, that the
trade directed towards tne Premium
Trunk Factory and its energetic and
enterprising proprietor is dailr.growing
larger, and that it is found almost im
possible to keep up the supply offamoue
trunks, dc., which at all times grace the
commodious salesrooms on Wood street.
.We need not' say to our readers that
they , can purchase nohwero else to better
advantage, or that they can find every
thing in the line they may need at Lieb
ler's, as all must be sufficiently acquaint
ed with the Premium Trunk Factory to
render our commendation of it unneces
sary.

such elegant and tasteful patterns been
introduced in carpets. The most beauti
ful frescoes of the ancient Egyptians,
EtrusCans and Pompeilans have been
gleaned and their choicest portions re
produced. As many of our citizens have
shown excellent taste in the architecture
of their residences, especially those late
ly erected, they cannot fail to appreciate
both the graceful combinations in these
designs, as well as the delightful effects
of coloring, varying from the delicate
French Moquette style to the strength
and boldness of the Persian. Any of our
readers desirous' r being bewildered by
profusion of beauty may have that wish
fulfilled :by viewing this new motif- of
carpets, the largest in variety and ele
gance over offered in this market, even
by Oliyer McClintock & Co. •
The Continental
It wonld be unnecessary in us to call
the attention' of our many readers to the
Continental Dieting Roorns,:Fifth avenue,
nest deb to the Postoftiee, since , thezfact
that that IS one of the' beat,' if not the
very best establishment of its character
in the city, is so generally known, but we
take pleasure in recommending establish
ments of this character, when conducted
as this one is. .Mr. Lloltzheimer, the'
gentlemanly proprietor, is a model man
in his line of business and keeps a tnodel
establishment. His rooms are always
neat and clean, and the larder Is sup-
plied bountifully with the best of every
thing to be obtained in the market, and
as a consequence, the patrons of the es
tablishment can enjoy a. dinner, supper,
or dish of oysters, which are served in
every style, such as he can no where else
obtain.
From the Army HOspital; the bloody
battle-field, the mansion of the rich and
the humble abode of the poor—from the
office and sacred desk; from the moun
tain top, distant valley and far-off is
lands of the ocean—from every nook and
corner of the civilized world, is pouring
in the evidence of the astonishing effects
of DRAK n's PLANTATION BITTERS.
