outer wall, when he was discovered and
meeured by the watchman. Had the

have been successful, as only the 1 . 13 W

get down proved fatal to his hopes of
freedom.

secured their freedom.
Another Taaasster was fined by Mayor

This eventful period has at length ar

into execution. Housekeepers will find
themselves at a loss perhaps where to
procure certain features in household
fornishments. On one point we propose
to enlighten them,and that is in the mat.
ter of npholsterk. Bedding, mattresses,
and the general refurnishing of the
chamber frill perhaps be called for, and
we would refer our readers to the estab

everything In this line 18 always kept In

The Disorderly Douse Ordinance.
For the benefit of all interested, we
call attention to the (shall we say start
ling?) provisions of "an ordinance to
suppress disorderly houses., hoives of
ill-fame, and disorderly assemblages,"
passed by Councils on Monday hist, and
now in force. It enacts that all homes
of ill-fame, all houses frequ'onted by
persons for lewd and unclume parpzses,
and all houses where intoxicating liq
uors are sold without license, or contrary
to the lams of the. Commonwealth, (in
cluding, therefore selling on. Sunday
and between twelve' o'clock- midnight
and six o'clock A. as.,) "shall bo deemed
and held to be dieorderl,y houses." The po
lice are also empowered to arrest not
only the keepers of such houses, but all
persons found therein, and if adjudged
guilty of maintaining such houses, "or
of visiting the same for improper pur
poses,",(their. presence, we presume, to
be taken as prima fade evidence of "im
proper purpose,") the Mayor is required
to impose a fine of not less than live nor
more than one hundred dollars.
This ordinance vests the Mayor With
ample power to weed out infamous dens
existing in the city, and its rigid enforce
muchn fall of being productive Of
good In this coininunity.
Shocking Accident—Four Persons Bad,
ly Burned.
The Wheeling Intelligencer of yest,er•
day contained the following item:
Yesterday morning another carbon oil
horror was added to the already fearful
list. The scene of the terrible accident
to which we, refer was.at the re.sidence of
a Mr. Wells, on' Denny street, in South
Wheeling. From one- of the physicians
(Dr. Hazlett) called in after its occur
rence,, we obtained the following partieu
lan: At the time . indicated the wife of
Mr. Wells, a son about six years old and
Mrs. .Steward Henderson were in one bf
the rooms of the house. Near a table on
which was a can partly filled with car

instantly ignited, and an explosion im
mediately followed. So
th a t was the
oonctuisicm Produced by it that the door
of the room was very considerably shat
tered. The unfortunate persons were
covered with the burning oil. and their
agonizing skrieks quickly brought a
number of neighbors to their assistance

occupied a part of the same. build

kingly burned, chiefly about the
head and cheat. The boy and Mrs. Hen

critical condition, and the result i t h e
three cases is extremely problematical.
They were living at five o'clock last

they s hould'be'taught to nnderetandrthe
meaning of the words they read, s atid to

avoid, as much atkposslble,the mere rep.

• t
Prof. Northrop continued' his lecture
on "Eyes and No Byes," taking familiar
articles in illustrating his subject. -
Upon the expiration of the time allot
ted to the Professor, a recess was an
nounced.
When the Institute was called to -or=
der, a song was sung by Misees Bell Sam
ple and McCormick, Miss A. E. Wilcox
performing the accompaniment -.
'Mrs. M. Howe Smith was nexntro
duced, and delivered a lecture on the
"General Laws of the Winds." The
cause or origin of winds man tier in
which the direction or mo tion o is given.
and the production of rains were treated
of, and by illustrations clearly and pun-
tically explained. - , •
At the conclusion of Mrs. Smith's ad

APTEENOON SESSION'.
Institute re - assembled at two o'clock
and was opened with a song by thesThil
harmonise Society.
eProfeitsor Corydon was the first speak
r. He delivered a brief addreas on the
subject of Penmanship, in which he ad
vocated acompromise between the round
and angular styles of writing.
The Philharznonic Society followed
with another vocal selection, after w i bich
Rev. Wm. Evans entertained the 'itittdi
ence with elocutionary exercises „for a
short time, reading "aorating," t,The
New Cerner," and the "Sleeping Sen
tinel."
Mrs. Mary Howe Smith was neat in
troduced and deliiered a lecture on "Our
Country, its physical conformations and
character, and the effects upon our peo
ple."
The lecture was an exceedingly able
and interesting one, and it received, en
thusiastic applause at intervals through
out and at us close.
Prof. Shoemaker concluded the fixer.
class of the afternoon session with a feir
remarks on vocal culture, after which
the Institute adjourned till seven o'clock.
EVENING SESSION.
The evening session was opened with
music from the Philharmonic Society.
Rev. J. B. Clark,'" D. was then in
troduced and deliVered an able lecture
on the diffusion of knowledge,and its ef
fects upon the stability of a nation. He
argued that where ignorance exists,
power has no place. One precludes the
possibility of the other. But mere secu
lar information will not be sufficient to
ensure strength to a nation. The moral
culture of the people is essential, and in
fact, the one without the other may a s
easily be made an agent of evil as ofgond.
The speaker continued at some lengthto
argue his theme, and was listened toswith
close attention.
The Allegheny Quartettet,club
vored the Institute with song, entitred-;
"Merrily chimes the bells by night."

training the 'affections and teaching'
children to love their homes. To this I

sang "Gco,l Night" with fine effect.
Prof. Shoemaker read the "Raven"
anii other selections, after which the
Institute adjourned to - meet. this morn
ing at nine o'clock.
Burial of a Prominent Mason.
Mr. Isaac Whittier whose death we
have announced, was laid in
hie
final resting place yesterday. A large
number of Knights Templar in full cos.
tame, bearing ta;te banner of the cross,
and a full delegation of Masons were in
attendance, together with a large number
of citizens joined the procession. For
over twenty years he has been an active,
zealous, prominent Mason, devotedly at
tached to the Order, and exemplyfying
it in his outward life. In Lodge, Chapter,
Council, Consistory, Commandery, he
was always at his post, and often aiding,
advising and working for others. He
has filled nearly all the offices, and al
- with intelligence.and fidelity. His,
affections were deeply enlisted, and his
work was no Mere ceremony, but the
symbolic building of the temple of a
beautiful life. When told that he must
die, and asked if he was prepared, he re
plied, with emphasis, , •leB, and I have
been for forty years!" His mind retained
its vigor to the last, and without a sigh
or struggle he calmly went to sleep.
On Wednesday evening calledin
John's Lodge, No. 219, was tomake
arrangements to attend the funeral of
Bro. Whittier. The large attendance of
Masons, and the deep feeling manifested
showed the great bereavment felt by all
the Fraternity. Appropriate and touch
ing tributes were paid to the virtues of
the deceased by Brothers Br. Jas. King,
Thos. Dayage, Jas. H. Hopkins, john H.
Bailey, John M'Claran, and Jos. Etch.

inable. This. fact, together with the
'other, that yesterday was "mOving day,"
~
operated against a large audience at the
Opera. House. Still the housekeld a fair
number, and , those who did overcome all
obstacles and attend were more than re-'
paid. Miss Charlotte Thompson, than
whom there are few more delightful ac-
Oesses, played "Fanohon, the Cricket,"
and played it remarkably well. Thesup

A Fossn..—The remains of the tusk or
horn of a fossil creature was found near
Davenport, lowa, the other day. about
four feet and a half of horn was found,
and about as much more is missing. It
was found eighteen' feet below the sur
face of the earth, and lay embedded be
tween a strata of blue and yellow clay.
The relic is not ivory—it is horn. When
scraped it las the darp appearance of ox
horn, and emits 'the - odor of burnt-horn
when fire is applied to it. The pieces are
hollow, though portions are filled with
what must have been marrow—now in a
semi-petrified state. Hoptys are enter
tained of finding a compact on to it when
the other side of the head is reached..
