!WOld Favorite Firm in a New Place
fleet of Books and Every
thing in the Trade.
No department of. business has grown
so rapidly of late Years in our city`, as
the book trade; and it is no* conducted
on a more extetutive !scale, and improved
i n every part, than formerly. The house
of ROBERT S. DAVIS cic Co., established
over a dozen years ago were among the
first to introduce broad and liberal views
in the conduct of this business, in a
word, to open a first class book establish
.
meat in every respect, and similar to
those in the Eastern cities. The public
B een began to appreciate the fact, and
the trade of this house has grown rapid
ly and is widely extended.
For many years the old,corner of. Wood
street and Diamond alley‘has been a fa
vorite resort for. book buyers, and for
those desiring to purchase fancy station
ary. - With a view to having a location
more central, suitable and convenient,
and to accommodate their growing busi
ness, -they have just fitted up one of
"Brown's' massive buildings, No. 193
Liberty street, several doors above Sixth
(old St. Clair) street, in elegant, style.
The building, both inside and outside,
has been completely , modernized. It
is four stories, one hundred - feet
deep. First and second floors are
richly arranged with beautiful oaked
cases and counters, for , the wholesale and
retail trade. Part of the second floor is
thrown open, which eves the first floor at
the entrance a bright cheerful look.
Every part is admirably arranged for
conducting a vast trade, and for the com
fort of buyers and visitors. Quite a bevy
of elegant stores have recently been
opened in this locality, which is des
tined to be, ere long, one of the most at
tractive business places in the city.
'w. P. Marshall, Wall . Paper Merchant,
joins R. S. Davis dr, Co., and Henry
- Higby, is fitting up elegant quarters in
the same row, for his extensive queens
ware trade.
The senior member of the firm,
Mr.
Robert S. Davis, has been in the Book
and rinting business since his boyhood.
His thorough knowledge of the trade,
and admirable taste and judgment, are
worthy of note in a business of this
character. We have known him long
and well and therefore speak confidently
of hie high toned character and excellent
business qualificatiOns. Mr. W. W.
Waters has been connected with the
house from the time it was first estab
lished in the "old , corner" on Wood
street, and is a member of the firm.
This gentleman has long been a favor
ite for his equable temperament and
his suavity of manners. Thoroughly
posted in every department of the trade,
and a capital salesman. The junior part
ner, Mr. Frank H. Bening, is an acquisi
tion to the house, aed worthy of the con
fidence imposed in giving him a place in
the firm. A young gentleman of snap
and energy, whose services will be sensi
bly felt, as he is well versed in the trade
and a good salesman. Business men like
this trio, . possessing an extensive
'knowledge of the wants of book buyers,
and with firet-slass facilities to make
purchases theamelves,and what is needed
by,the trade, cannet fail to please, and to
ba able to sell at the lowest prices.
If the readers please, we will give the
result of our stroll around the spacious
rooms of this book establishment. Here

WEDNESDAY'S PROCEEDINGS.
Yesterday morning the Conference
convened at the usual hour. The greater
part of the session was taken up with an
able address by Prof. J. Mercer Langston
on the duties of ministers' relative to
the use of tobacco.
Bishop Payne called the Conference to
order for the afternoon session at two
o'clock. After some discussion, three
o'clock to-day was fixed as the time for
the ordination of the newly elected
elders.
Rev. B. T. Tanner, from the Commit
mittee on Education Book Concetn,
and Missions, presented the following
~
report:
REPORT or cOsIIIITTEE O N
EDUCATIoN,
Malt. CONCERN AND blissioNs.
To the Bishop and Conference:
Your committee, to whom was given
the work of reporting upon the above in
terests of our church and people, beg
leave to say: In regard to education, we
can state with pleasure that'll is becom
ing general among the people. We donut
whether the same rapid advancAnteinement I
was ever made by any people. g
the laity of our church, the time promi
ses not to be 'very distant when the
number of those who will be unable to
read GOD'S weed will be small indeed.
Among the ministry, while some pro-
grass has been made, we fear that as a
whole we are not awakened up to the
neat necessity of ministerial culture.
We must have an educated ministry.
Wilberforce must be sustained more
zealously in the future than in die past.
The reproach of its ashes m tbe wiped
away. Too long have they remained, a
mournful indication of our verty,—we
lose apprec,ation for the ca se of educa
tion. Let its walls go up. t its-Facul
ty be increased and suppo ed; and let
the number of pupils ts 3 quadrupled.
Each of our large stations o ght to sup
port a young lieentiate at t s college of
the church. _,
The Book Concern still lanhuishes be
neath the btu den of a great debt; while
yet the receipts are not equal to the ex
penditures. To carry on the
d. To Concern,
full $B,OO0 a year are require raise
this large amount, the Concern has only
he surplus on the cost of Hymn Books
and Disciplines. and the subscriptions of
the Recorder. From these resources pos- .
sibly one-half theamount ma
de
y be
raised. Upon the church is
volved the responsibility of raising
the other half. Ought not the Church to
do this? Expediency, honor and neces
sity alike demand that this branch of the
Church shall be upheld. !The _ cause of
missions was never so demanding as
now. Voices call at home. Voices call
from abroad. Over the mountains and
over the sea comes the Macedonian cry,
"Come over and help us." From com
munications received from .the Corres
ponding Secretary of the Society we
learn that - the Treasury of the Society is
well nigh depleted. Shall it not be
filled? filled from our own pockets, and
not from the pockets of charitable stran-
stye Long, long have we trusted to the
strength of others—too long have prod . -
ed by the Christianity of others. Let
our Church arise. Let it make manifest
its own love for Christ.
To meet all these wants our late Gene
ral Conference made ample provision,
and your Committee would only recom
mend the faithful execution of the law.

After some remarks by Bishop Payne,
urging the claims of Wilberforce Col

The Rush Meuse.
The proprietorship of the Rush House,
corner of Canal , and Liberty streets, has
we are informed, passed into the hands
of Mr. Levi Rush, who tor over a year
past has been a partner, and for several
years -previous to that time, was head
clerk of the establialimea. Raving
known Mr. Rush 'personally, for a num
ber of years, we know whereof we speak
when we say that a more accommodating ,
generous and enterprising hotel keeper
is not to be found In this or any tither
city. The - high reputation which the
Rush House has sustained hetofore, will
not, we feel Confident, suffer in his hands.
The establiahment, 'as heretofore, will be
conducted on the European plan, arid
former patrons, gavel' aft strahgers, mar
rely upon receiving the best accommoda
tiops, and all the attention requisite to
their comfort. • •
_Levi's many friends will be gratified to
hear of this change, and we have no doubt
that Wider his management the Rush
'Rouse will not, only flourish, as it has
always done, but the business will be
largely increislid.

Poptilai Prices.
Popular prices is a phrase in very gen
eral use with retail ;dealers at present,
but it does• not in every instance, in
which it is used, mean, what is under
stood by the phrase' in its literal sense.
Prices may be popular with' a certain
class of persons, yet decidedly unpopu
lar with the masses.: For instance: There
are persons with whom high- prices are
popular, because they pay
think it
they unfash
ionable to buy anything unless
an exhorbitant price for it. The prices
that are popular with the masses. how
ever, are those asked by • Mr. William
Semple, Nos. 180 and?lB2 Federal street,
Allegheny, for any and every ar
ticle in his inaMe,..HE) establishment.
The best quality of calicoes be Ls selling
at twelve and a hill cents per yard, as

tact,his stock comprises everything us

he is selling at popular prices, his large
establishment- ik continually crowded
with purchasers, many of whom we have
heard remark that "it was like old
times to go to Sernple's,as he was selling
goods as cheap is they were sold six or
seven years ago:" The ladles will find a
fall assortment of ladies' and children's

Green's Patent Gas aim Smoke Gonsnm.
tug kfurnaees.
Theodore Adams, Esq., of Philadel
phia, agent forthe above furnaces, is at
.
present in the city, at the Monongahela
House. He came at the regnest of a
number of our leading steel and lion
manufacturers, who have witnessed P et e
f urnaces at work at Norristown, Penn
sylvania, where'they have been in sue
=slut operation for the last eighteen
months, _and who are desirous of
,intro
'clueing the great invention into. their
own works in this neighborhoid.
These furnaces consume or burnlll
the smoke and gas arising from any fuel,
*lnd require no stacks or chimneys. We
conceive them to be of vast importance,
especially to Pittsburgh manufacturers,
whores , o ranch fuel is wasted in smoke
and gas which roll off in volumes into
the air and serve only to blacken and dis
fi
in g contaceture-evrylthihng
fT with wh cost , but litich they come
. e tle,
and during' the stay of Mr. Adams, . a
genial gentleman, who is thoroughly ac
quainted with all the chemical and phi'.
osophical.Principles of the furnace he
represents, we hope that our manufac
turertiand scientific gentlemen will call
on him and make inquiry into its ments
and ability to accomplish the great
our
ob
jects claimed, and on which many of
own manufacturers bear willing and'
hearty testimony.

* ** * We groped about fOr
hours in this wonderful p ace. I never
saw anything like it. The freaks of nature
displayed here are very strange, and
strike the beholder with awe. But the
air in some parts of the cave is close and
stifling, and when we came out I found
myself saddled with a terrible fey
ver, .
which entirely posrated me. The ph
sician had never seen a case like it before,
and no remedy he prescribed seemed to
do the least good. My life was despaired
of. Mrs. Wilson, with whom I was re-

BITTERS, and she insisted
that I should try it, for he said she
knew it to be a certain cure! in all eases

had but little faith, but finally consent
ed to try it as a st resort. I In less than
three hours after la the first dose my fever
left me: in two days I was sitting up,
and before Saturday night I was as well
as ever. I tell you all this that you may
know how to act in any case of fever, or
