was fined twenty dollars yesterday, by
Mayor Dram, for. whipping his wife.
Regulai Meeting.—The regular semi
monthly theetingof the Allegheny Coun
cils will be held this evening at seven
o'clock.
Judging from the appearance of the
sidewalks in either city, the ordinances
relative to clearing theist need more
stringent enforcement. .
•
Committed.—Alderman Thomas yes
terday committed to Jail Matthew Dono
van for drunkenness and diSorderly con
duct, on oath of his wife, Alice Donovan.
The Waco'son pavement 'on Sixth (St.

her severely yesterday morning, and
then wound up the performance by cho

ick' Alderman MeMtuidersissued a war
rant for the arrest of Joan.
A Change.—lt is quite evident to those
who are compelled to take "out-door"
exercise, that there has been some
change In the Cabinet, and that the man
at the head of the weather department
is not familiar with the affairs of his ap
-poiniment. Three changes in tvienty
four hours are too many for comfort.
Admirable.—Admiral. Sample, propri
etor of that admirably located Drug

Bowe's Musical Monthly, Elias Howe,
Baton.— Of all the periodically appear
ing collections of ramie,, this seems to
as the best for the money. It is the size
andebape of regular sheet music. Its

thirty-two pages. All this only costs
thirty-five cents a month.
Forestalling.—. Tames Freemont and

evening, on a charge of disorderly con
duct and lodged in the "toombs" to

is altogether probable they will hear that
phrase so familiar to evil doers, "twenty
live dollars fine, or thirty days . in jail."
Boxed Hlm.—Jarrett . Galloway, a col
ored man, made information before Al
dermal Donaldson, yesterday . against
John Jordan and Th omasi Minks for dis

the Court.
The case of Win. J. Robinson, indicted
for shooting Manager Smythe, which
was commenced yesterday, was re
sumed. The theory of the defense was
that the shooting was done while the ao
cusediwas temporarily insane from the
use of whisky. The dourt charged that
drunkenness was neither an excuse or
palliation for crime. The jury, after an
absence of about ten minutes,. returned a
verdict of guilty.

plead guilty and was sentenced to pay

the e ning of the 26th of November
last, at niers' Hall, Sixth avenue, 4
which ti e and place a ball was being
held, and at which the parties - were
present. It appears that they got into a
quarrel on account of some remarks
that were made by one of them, con
cerning the lady the other had taken
there,lind the quarrel resulted in a fight,
during which Hall bit Sittig. They were
separated and Sims started down- stairs,
and a few moments after Hall down
stairs, when Sims, who was standing at
the foot of the stairs, tired a pistol shot
at him, the ball taking effect in the ab
domen. Messrs. Lynn and McCarthy ap
peared for the prosecution and Messrs.
Moreland and Moore for the . defendant.
Rhe testimony for the Commonwealth
closed, and Mr. Moore opened the case
on the part of the defense.
I. Home . for Destitute Men.
The success that has attended this in
stitution (located temporarily at No. 234
Penn street,)bas induced the Managers
to seek to make the work a permanent
one, by securing an eligible lot of ground
and asking for the means to put'up suit
able buildings.. Though but few of the
more than five hundred men that have
had food and shelter there the past two
months now remain, the evidences of a
continued need of the Home for the
friendless wanderers, and the fact that a
great part of the work must drop unfin
ished if not kept up through the sum
mer, calls loudly for a permanent place
to carry on the work.
As warm -weather returns it is believed
from past experience that the Home can
be made self-sustaining, the system of
inducing the inmates to pay a small sum
for the day meeting with great favor
with most of them, thus securing a borne
away from the influences of the low Lay
.
erns or boarding houses,
where they are
so often turned over to the watch house
or jail.
The success thus gained in arousing an
ambition to be self-helping, also with
many to lead a better and useful life, en
courages the Managers to look for much
greater results when the Hdme becomes
permanent.
The formation of a Temperance Soci
ety among the inmates promises -great
good, if allowed to continue its work.
Its officers are regularly chosen' from
among those whoa few weeks ago were
drunkards on our streets, and the meet
ings are held Tuesday, • Thursday and
Saturday evenings, and are conducted
with spirit and mu ch interest, and many
of the addresses would do credit to our
old Temperance leaders.
As many of them are sincerely and
prayerfully asking to be' good men, and
desire the shelter of a Temperance Home, ,
for which they gladly pay, will not a
truly Christian community dee that the
needed means are furnished to meet this .
want?
Let such a Home be provided, and
begging men may be driven from our
streets, the really needy being provided
for and imposters detected.
The cause is worthy, and evbry friend
of humanity should take a share in
building the permanent Home.
Youthful Sharpers.
Tuesday afternoon, three youthful
sharpen, between fifteen and seventeen
years of age, whose names unfortunate
ly are nnknovin, exercised their genius
m Allegheny in a manner.well calculated
to bring them into notoriety,. though of
a rather unenviable kind. Calling at a
store, twg of them would engage the pro.
prletor lii conversation, and while he
was thva put o his guard the third
youth would make a ra id , on the
money drawer. They were careful in
their operations to select a store in
which but one man was at the time eth
ployed, and thus succeeded in going
through four or five establishments,
and receiving a pretty good supply of
Greenbacks Without being detected.
Their trintriph. however,' seems likely
to prove of short duration, as ona> of the
parties vietirnised obtained seine pater
liay which he is following, and which
will doubtless lead to their speedy de
tection.

PITTSBURGH GAZETTE': TICURSIAT, MARCH
Second U. P. Church—Extensive
provements—Se-opening_Services.
The Second U. P. Church, Allegheny,
for several months past has been under
going extensive Improvements and re
pairs; which have at length. been com
pleted sufficient to admit of its le.open
ing, which will take place next Sabbath.
During the time the building has been
unoccupied it has been transformed,
under the hands of skilled workmen,
from a somewhat dingy and .contracted
edifice Into one of :the most commodious,
cheerful and handsomely fitted houses
of worship in thecity—a credit to the
taste and liberality of tfte, members of
the congregation.
The building has been raised seven feet
higher, and extended forward fourteen
feet toward the sidewalk, thus increasing
its size materially, and forming a very
neat and comfortable lecture room on
first floor. The. exterior appearance of
the church ,has been further improved
by a coat of light stone colored paint,
and new window sills, tappings and
cornices. The lecture room has been
fitted 'up with coven hundred cane
seat chairs, instead of the benches which
formerly graced the room, and it has
been otherwise arranged in the most ap
proved modern style.
The auditorium has been increased in 1
size by the extension of the front, so
that it now contains a sufficient number
of seats to accommodate over two hun
dred more persons than formerly. The
seats have all been recushioned, new
stained glass windows put in, the floor
handsomely carpeted, the pulpit remod
eled and fitted up, and the building
throughout refiescoed, painted and
grained in beautiful variegated patterns.
The cost of the improvements, which are
of the most thorough and complete char
acter, is estimated at nearly 430,000, most
of the sum being already secured through
the exertions of the members.
Next Sabbath the reopening and dedi
catory services will be held under the
supervision of the pastor, Rev. J. B.
-Clark, D. D. In the morning at ten - and
a half o'clock Rev. Clark will preach the
dedicatory sermon. In the afternoon
communion services will taxa place, the
pastor being assisted by Rev. D. W. Col
lins, of . Blairsville. Pa. In the evening
at seven and a half o'clock a discourse by
Rev. J. T. Preasly, D. D., will conclude
the exercises of the day.. The occasion
will be one of great interest to themem
hers and frienda of the congregation, who
may well rejoice at the gratifying success
which has attended their. praiseworthy
efforts. - .
A very small circumstance sometimes
produces results of considerable magni
tude. As for instance, Edward Seville,
a resident of Allegheny, last Sunday
evening imbibed a small quantity—only.
a glass—of whisky at the house of his
friend - James McNamara, in the Sixth
ward, near the Manchester car sta
bles. The, effect of this action be
came visible in Edward's conduct. His
friendship for Mr. McNamara seemed
to have lost its former charms, in fact,
for the tithe, was replaced by an intense
anxiety to trounce that gentleman. His
disposition in this respect became very
apparent to all, and manifested itself in
divers fierce threats and imprecations,
which would perhaps have been carried
into execution had Edward not discover
ed "a foeman worthy of his steel" in the
person of "Tim" McNamara, the junior
male member of the household, who
stood champion for his honored parent.
The appearance of this new opponent
caused Edward's zeal for a tight to abate
somewhat, but he still maintained his
war of words, at least, and thus between
the two the quietude of the neighborhood
was very much disturbed. Finally,
I after several hours of wrangling and
jangling, the parties , were separated, but
the end of the affair was not yet. Yes
terday • afternoon the elder McNamara
made information before Mayor. Dram
against Edward Seville for disorderly
conduct; Upon this information Ed
ward was arrested and fined ten dollars
and costs, which he promptly paid. after
which he made information against
"Tim" McNamara for surety of the
Peace, which caused the arrest of "Tim"
and his binditig over to answer the
charge at Court. "Tim" then in 'turn
made inferniation against, Edward for
surety of the peace. The accused was
accordingly arrested and after.ahearing
compelled to give bail for trial, and thus
the matter was allowed to rest. "Ho w
p
great a fire a little spark kindled." .
Yesterday morning the Allegheny po-
lice arrested a roan on suspicion of being
engaged in tge robbing of a peddling
wagon, bOlonging to Mr. J. D. Thompson,
of this City. It seems the peddling
wagon was in the stable at the rear of
Mt. Thompson's residence, on Liberty
street, Fourth ward, Allegheny. The
evening previods to the -robbery it had
been replenished with a stook of goods
to be used for the next days' business.
Late Saturday night, or , early Sunday
morning, the stable was broken into, and
the greater part of the contents of the
wagon carried off, amounting in value
to about one hundred dollars. The sus
pected party had a hearing, but as noth
ing was revealed implicating, him in the'
robbery, he was released. There is no
other clue to the depredators.
Female College—Annual Contest.
The Annual Essay sontest, of the grad
uating class of the Pittsburgh Female
College, will take place Friday evening,
the 12th, Inst., in the College Chapel.
Many of our readers who have attended
these contests on former occasions, will
be delighted to have another opportunity
offered them. In addition to the essays,
the exercises will be interspersed with
excellent vocal and instrumental
The contests have always been of a highly
satisfactory character, and the approach

spects any that have precede it. The
exercises will be concluded in time to
permit those who reside along the line
of the several railroads to take the late
trains for home. Tickets can be proctired
at the book and music stores, and at the

An Allegneny Flower.
Patrick. Daisy, of Allegheny, seems
not .to telong to that class of flowers
which are 'born to blush 'unseen," or if
he doesit is through no fault of his own.
A few days since we noted the duct of
Patrick's arrest, and - committal to jail
for wife desertion. Yesterday Joseph
Gallagher made information before Al
derman Strain • for fraud. Gallagher
keeps a grocery store in Allegheny.
According to his statements,•Dalsy owed
him forty-five• dollars, and was about
moving away to Canada without settling
the bill, part of his goods having been
shipped there. and the remainder being
at the depot awaiting shipment. The ao
weed being in jail, the Alderman lodged
another commitment against him.

OPERA. Houak.—The attendance at the
Opera House last night, on the occasion
or Mr. Joseph Proctor's interpretatihn,of
Shakspeare's Macbeth, was fair bnt by
no means large. Mr. Proctor is not ap
preciated, it appears to us, by our theatre
goers as much as his genuine talent and
histrionic ability should warrant. [Mac
beth was well put on the stage and passed
off in a manner at once pleasing to the
audience and creditable to the manage
ment. In the leading character' Mr.
Proctor developed all the metal that is
in him, acting with thrilling expression
and power—and yet never travelling
beyond the , . natural. Lady Macbeth
was sustained by MIAs Augusta LI Dar
goo, and seldom have we seen ali n iner
or better piece of acting. As nch
as we have heretofore
: had occasion
to admire the leading lady of the Opera
House, all of her previous best endeav
ors appeared to fade before this role in
which she simply excelled herself. In
the murder scene her dash, coolness,
wicked courage and assurance chilled
the audience; then, her deep agitation,
frenzy and fearful emotion in the ban
quet scene,. where - Macbeth raves as a,
madman before the unbidden ghost of
the slain. Banquo and threatens to di
vulge the terrible secret gnawinglat his
heart; and anon, her somnambulism, the
awful sleep-walking and talking !scene,
where, in frantic efforts to wash! away
the visionary blood spots from her hands,
she recites the dark deed of the King's
murder-p-in the portrayal of all- of these
she developed a clear conception', of the.
character and a genius:fully equal to
the task of proper 'interpretation. Mr.
Loud, as Macduff, sustained! him
self admirably. even rivaling the
more celebrated tragedian:he supported.
As Malcolm,Mr. Norton played well,
although at t imes he fell into a ranting
' mood, which, if not objectionable, is far
from pleasing. The part of Hecate was
well sustained by Mrs. Bates, as was
that of Banquo by Mr. Collingsi, -Miss
Hardy, Mrs. Vandereen- and Mr. Hotto
played witches, but how three suCh good
looking persons could make up so horri
bly-ugly we can't imagine. Altogether,
Macbeth. as placed on the stage, last
night, was an old time feast, and one
which was refreshing after the season of
light acting with which we have been
favored. To-night Jack Cade will be pre
sented.
SMYTHE'S AMERICAN THEATRE.--The
Victorelli -Brothers continue to draw
large audiences at the American Thea

in case one of them falls, (taken by the
police,) in order to provide bail or to pay
his counsel fees. They then frequent rail
way stations, public meetings, or any
place where they can find a crowd. A
victim is quietly selected as a proba
ble find. Two of the mob then
place themselves in front of him,
and two remain behind, occupying, as it
were, the angles of a square of which
the victim is the centre. These are called
the front and back stalls. The unfortun
ate victim is then fanned; that is ; his
pockets are softly padded to find out the
one in which he keeps his wallet;: the sign
is pined to the operator, who is termed
the wire, who immediately proceeds to
work. He does not place his hand in the
pocket, that is a fatal error; but with the
two first fingers he gently draws up the
lining of the pocket to the opening, and
with it the wallet, and the trick is done.
This system is called reefing. The wallet
is immediately 'passed to one of. the back
stalls, who quietly, though quickly, le.
vents. The most dangerous place _for
money is undoubtedly the pocket of the,
pants. Again one of, the front stalls
passes his arm before yourface to touch
the other front stalls on the shoulder, only
to say, "How are you?" but the ware
. from behind has your diamond pin in his
possession. If possible they return the
empty wallet to the
. pocket, to avoid de
tection in its possession, or the dangerous
necessity of throwigg it away.
For instance: gentlemen sitting
at one end of a car get into an angry al
tercation, high words ensue, the attention
of the other passengers is attracted to their
dispute and the young lady who sat next
to that nice looking man at the other end
of the car, finds, on arrivipg at Stewart's;
that her purse is empty. The angry gpn
tleman and the nice looking man are sim
ply confederates. This they term weed

lately lost $BOO in this way; while riding
in a Fourth avenue car. Pickpockets
are necessarily
migratoryin their habits,
finding along residence in one place hi
convenient. This renders it almost im
possible to make any estimate of their
probable nunibers in this ,city. They
prefer a locality for the scene of their op
erations that has numerous lines of rail,
to enable them to separate in various di
rections as soon as they have a good
swag, and to meet again in, some other
Wwn. These men 'stand by one another
i*rouble, and are strictly square in their
mutual transactions. A curious instance
of "honor among thieves," is found
in the following anecdote.: The elder
Matthews .and Theodore Hook, on one
occasion went together to the theatre.
While ascending the staircase Matthews
playfully took a bundle of papers from
Hook's pocket, when he was 'touched on
the shoulder from behind by a gentle
manly looking man, who handed him his
own pocket-book, apologizing for taking
it by saying, "I didn't know you were
one of us;" anitpertinently adding. "but
what a d—d fool yon must be to carry it
there." PiCkpockets, however, never
save money, for they are all bitten with,a
mania for gambling, and, strange to say,
are generally unsuccessful at it. Their
language is most peculiar—only to be im
derstood by that intelligent body of gen
tlemen who hail from Mulberry street.
Their depredations on the public amount
to a very large sum in the course of the
year, a considerable portion of which is
never recovered, from the general inabil
ity of the victims to give any description
which might lead to identification, they
never, if possible, allowing yon to have a
fall view , of their face.--.TrOune.

I'France and the Couredrracy..
The Richmond 'Whig; commenting on
theletter of Hon. John Bigelow, says it
learns frbm the best authority that about
the time we were showing the door to the ~
French troops in Mexico, the French Ern. .
peror consulted a distinguished Corifeder- •
ate then in Paris, as to the chance of re-
viving the Confederate struggle if he
should determine to make war on the
United States. It also states on authority
little less reliable, that when an agent of
the Confederate government went abroad
in the winter of 1864, Louis Napoleon •
asked him if the time had not come for
! him to take a hand. The reply of the
agent was that he was instructed by Mr.
Davis to say that he preferred to stand on
bib own bottom, and felt perfectly com
petent to do so. '
The 'Vag makes no comment on this '
reply attributed to Mr. Davis. It allows
the fact to speak for itself in very plain
words against the
_statesmanship of the
arch rebel.
.3t. Elmo and Its Author.
The editor of the Charleston, B. C.,
News, lately visited Mobile, and in an ac
connt of his trip says:
In the evening I had the pleasure of
calling on Mrs. Wilson. (Miss Augusta
J. Evans,) the author , of Beulah, Maca
ria and Bt. Elmo. Mrs. Wilson is a tall,
slender lady, with brown hair, a pale
face, t a rather lone nose and small eyes.
Her forehead is high and her expression
somewhat grave, but when she smiles her'
countenance lights up wondrously, and
becomes almost beautiful.' Mrs. Wilson
is now copying the manuscripts of a new
novel, for which she Is said to have been
offered $15,000 by an enterprising young
New Yorker. The name of the new
novel is not known;
and I have some cu
riosity to see alwork written in the middle
of such aracket as that made by rooster,
chicken and guinea fowl in Mrs. Wilson's
beautiful home.
