• Mr. Gross stated the object of the meet
ing to be the consideration of a proposed
act of Assembly relative to grading and
paving in the rural districts, the sub
stance of which had been published here
tofore. He would present the bill for
the consideration of Council, and hoped
they would meet it fairly and consider it
upon its merits.
On motion, the bill was put upon a
second reading by its title.
Mr. Morrow moved that the proposed
bill be published.
Mr. Burgwin thought the motion to
publish was not in order and hoped it
would not be pressed.
Mr. Brown also thought the motion out
of order.
Dir. Littell thought the matter had not
been before the people a sufficientlangth
of time to alltivr them to judge of its mer
its and demerits.
Mr. Burg Win insisted on his point of
order, and the Chair decided the motion
out of order.
Mr. Burgwin then moved that the pro
posed bill be taken up and considered
section by section.
Mr. Ogden moved to postpone.
Mr. Coffin called for the yeas and nays,
with the following result:
Yeaa-Messrs.Ahlborn,Coffin,Gailaher,

The members voting in the minority
all asked that their names be placed upon
the minutes as protesting against the ac
tion of the meeting as illegal, in conse
quence of their not having received offi
cial notice of the meeting, and the object
for which it was held.
The Chairman stated that the only
remedy the gentlemen had Was to leave
the room and take no part in the meet
ing if they thought it illegal, whereupon
they all vacated, except Mr. Shipton,
and left Councils without a quorum.
Tne Chairman called the retiring mem
bers to their seats.
Mr. Holmes—This is no meeting of
Councils and we will go when and where
we please.
A scene of general confusion ensued,
and cries of "oome back and face the mat
ter fairly" proceeded from all parts of the
house.
The reading of the first section was
then called for, when the Chairman
stated he would first count and see if
there was a quorum present.
Mr. Gallaher (from the hall door)—
Have you a quorum Mr. Chairman.
Burgwiu thought the Chairman
had no right to count the members to
see if there was a quoum present. He
could only receive official notice when a
vote was called.
The Chairman insisted upon his decis-
Lon.
Mr. Burgwin appealed from the decis
ion of the Chair.
The Chairman decided that there was
no meeting of Select Council for want of
a quorum.
Mr. Brown Made the point of inder
that it required .a majority of the mem
bers present to order a call of the house.
Mr. Shipton resigned the chair s and
on motion of Mr. Burgwin, Mr. Murray
was called to the chair.
Mr. Burgwin moved that the first sec
tion of the bill ba taken up for discus
sion.
Mr. Kirk thought the members who
had bolted and left the Council Chamber
bad disgraced themselves and the people
they represented. That the members
from the new districts had come day
after day to discuss platters pertaining to
the old city, and now, when a matter
was presented in which the new dis
tricts was interested, they, (the mem
bers of - the old wards,) have not the
courage to face it, but skulked away like
dogs. He hold that Council was still in
'session. •
Mr. Kehow coincided in the remarks
made by the gentleman who bad just
taken his seat, and thought the bolting
members had cast a disgrace upon
themselves that time would not wipe out.
Mr. Gross spoke in strong terms
against the bolting members and sub
mitted the following resolution:
Resolved That this Council anchor this
good old city of fire and smoke in some
eddy of the Ohio River in order to be
safe from the, aves of progress that are
building up every other city An the
Union.._
Mr. Gallaher (from the lobby) there Is"
no quorum present.
The resolution was adopted.
Mr.- Burgwin offered the following
resolution: •
Resolved, That the Clerk be directed to
call the roll and enter the names of those
inscribers who have withdrawn from the
chamber since voting.osid participating
in the pending proceedings for the im•
proper purpose of preventing the action
of a quorum ' and this Connell hereby
expresses its censure of such action on
their part.
Mr. Kirk moved to amend as fouOwst
"And those members absenting them
selves from Council without , permisbion
from the presiding - officer be repriman- - ;
ded by the chairman at the next raeet
ing.i'
Mr: Gross movedlo amend the amend
ment as follows: "And that all those•
members absenting • themeelves be
suspended-from taking part in the delib
eration of this body hereafter, until they
have apologized to the remaining nrul
bers of Select Council. Adopted.

The resolution as amended was then
adopted, kind the roll was called

.Resolved, That the Legislature be re
queeted to repeal the Consolidation acts,
and that a Committee be appointed by
the Chair to proceed immediately to
Harrisburg and endeavpr to secure such
legislation.
Mr. Kehew hoped that the resolution
would be withdrawn, as there we a
number of members from the old rde
i.
who had not bolted but had met the
matter boldly.
There was no action on Mr. Kirk's 1
lution.

Mctories in the Eastern cities and remain
for about a week until the leg could be
fitted to the etump. This of course oc
casioned considerable expense, beside the
high price paid for - the limb. These
wooden limbs have been found very un
satisfactory. The hard idid unyielding
substance often chafing the stump and
occasioning . a severe torture to the
wearer.
The improvement held by the new
Company is constructed with a number
of layers of leather, which so interlap
each other that the socket becomes pre
cisely adapted to the atuzn of the limb.
It is soft and elastic, enabling the wearer
to walk almost as well and comfortably
as If his limn was natural. We exam
ined one carefully, yesterday, which has
been used for over a year by our efficient
County Treasurer, Major Dennison, and
RAY oflo not aware of the fact would
scarcely suspect that his limb ;is ._not
natural, as he moves about with a , grace
ful and elastic step, yet no: soldier , in the
army was more badly riddled with the
enemy's bullets than he, He says he
tried nearly all the prominent factories
in the country, and spent several hun
dred dollars for limbs, and never got
anything to give him the comfort and
satisfaction of !'the limb; he is now
wearing. .
The legs are to be sold at very light
profit and very Much less than the prices
of Eastern manufacturers.! Read the td-

Report of Ladles" Bible Society Alt

The Ladies? Bible Society of Al
gheny held their annual meeting In tt:
lecture room of. Dr. Swift's church
Monday afternoon, the sth inst., at three
o'clock, Rev. Dr. Elliott presided. The
following report was read and adopted,
and Board of Managers elected.
Thirty-ninth annual report of the La
dies' Bible Society of Allegheny :
Again are we called to present our an
nual report before our christian friends
whose hearts we know are gladdened at
our prosperity and welfare as a Society.
How precious to every Christian heart is
his blessed book, without whose holy
influence, dark had been our hearts and
homes.

Having tasted of its pure and heav
enly teachings, are not our first impulses
like those who have found a cool and re
freshing stream in a desert, drinking
ourselves, we wish others to enjoy the
blessing with us.
When we remember that the Bible
alone contains the revelations of that
light which is to - enlighten the dark
places of the earth and hasten the time
we long for, when the knowledge of the
Lord shall fill the earth and its king
doms shall become those of our Saviour
Jesus Christ. Should not this thought ,
urge us to greater diligence in this ouri
work.
During the past year there have been a
number of bibles distributed. One dozen
English bibles, one German bible, and
one dozen German testaments have been
donated to St. Paula Asylum, Butler.
One dozen bibles and two dozen testa
ments for use of Pensacola' Navy Yard
and neighborhood, have been sent to
Captain and Mrs. Westcott. This place,'
has.been destitute of religious privileged
among the freedmen and sailors. Capt.
and Mrs. Westcott have taken a deep in
terest in these people, and it is to be
hoped that through them this good work
will prosper. There have also been one
dozen large print testaments sent to Law
rence, Kansas, for the use of aged colored
persons there, one of whom is over sixty
years of age. She has taught herself to
read, and others are eager to learn, to
Whom these large prints will. be a blessed
gift. During the year we have made two
life directors, Mrs. Dr. Swift and Mrs. E.
J. Patterson, and three life members.
There are a numbeeof German and Bo
hemian bibles on hand at present. Re
ceived during the _year, P1J.13. Remit

tribution, 1580.88.
It is with feelings of deepest regret we
mention the death of one of our most
efficient members; Mrs. E. J. Patterson,
who had been OUP faithful Librarian for
twenty-two years. ' To those who knew
Mrs. Patterson there ;teed nothing be
said to commend her. She had learned
of Him who when on earth 'was. meek
and lowly; all the graces of , the Spirit
shone in her lovely character, but her
chief adornment was humility. . She
was no idler in her Muter's vineyard;
she went about while her health permit
ted her, and even after that had failed,
doing good. It may be written of her,
"Blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord," for she rests from her labors, and
her works do follow her.

Few houses in the wholesale dry gockds
jobbing business in the State have re
tained through long years a higher repu
tation than the old and popular estab
lishment of Messrs. Arbuthnot, Shannon
dr. Co., No. no Wood street. Through a
careful system of business, close buying
and liberal advantages bestowed upon
their patrons, in reasonable prices and
wide selection from goods which prove
hilly up to the standard of representa
tion, this firm has monopolized a large
share of patronage which might other
wise be directed from Pittsburgh to Phil—
adelphia or other cities. Each of the
partners is a practical business man, who
d.evotes strict attention to the business
of the house, and the firm, having ample
means, secure by easlOurchases made,
and received daily from first hands,'
great advantages which they share with
their customers by offering foreign and
American goods, at as cheap prices as
can prevail in the leading houses of
the East. It is no difficult matter to dis
cover then, that by purchasing at Arbuth
not, Shannon & Co's., our home dealers
economize, as they save not only what it
costs them to visit other markets, but
also the freight on their goods back.
The salesrooms of the firm will be found
'thoroughly stocked with Spring and
Summer goods, and those of our friends
making up their orders, or in the city on
a purchasing visit, will not overlook this
old established Dry Goods and Notion
House, if they would consult th lr own
interests.
