That Silverware ilobbe.ry
Our readers will remember that some
time since the dwelling of Mr. John Mc
Ginnie, in the Fifth ward, Allegheny,
wa.4 entered and a quantity of valuable
silverware? taken. The thieves escaped
at the time, although one or two suspec
ted parties were arrested. Subsequent
developments, however, have probably
revealed the depredators, who are now
in custody.
We noticed yesterday the arrest of
William Barnes, and his implication in
the robbery of Stewart's potion store, in
the First ward. From several re
marks made in conversation, Chief Bow
den was led to suspect Barnes of being
one of the eutvebware thieves. This clue
was followed out, and resulted in the ar
rest of James Henderson, a young man•
and companion of 'Barnes. Henderson,
when taken to the Mayor's office, con
fessed to the robbery, and at once
implicated Barnes lb the operation.
He further stated that:. a portion of
the goods had been concealed not far
from the house and indicated the place.
An•examination of the spot resulted in
the discovery of the silver castor. The
police are endeavoring to procure the re
mauling articles, but have not yet sue:
eeeded. From the conversation between
the two prisoners in the lock up it Is ev
ident they were tojjether in robbing
Stewart's store, and have been compan
ions in crime for:some time past. They
were committed to jail for a farther hears
ing on Monday next.
• How at a Ball.
On Monday evening a ball was given at
Lutz and Walz's Hall, Chestnut street,
Seventh ward, Allegheny. The first pai
of the entertainmen t
passed off pleasant
ly enough, but a short, time before its
close two of the male attendants got into
a fight and created considerable excite
ment. Severenspootatore became some
whatanxious fora pugilistic encounter,
and in a short time this spirit
manifested itself in a row of pretty fair
proportions.' Officer Fred Faber, of the
Allegheny police, who was on duty at
the place, was kuooked down and beaten
by some ten of the Oighters, but managed ,
to escape serious injury. Yesterday
morning he lodged information against
five of his assailants respectively, John
Dreicher, Robert Knabe, Louis Blunchet,
C. Blurdt, and August Miller, for aggra
valet! Renault and, battery. The 'parties

for which it had met.
-Mr. Harrison nominated Prof. George.
J. Luckey, the present incumbent.

Mr. Ewing stated that as he under
stood the law creating the office of a City
Superintendent, the convention electing
the officer should also make rules and
regulations for the government of that
officer. And in order to comply with
this requirement, he moved that the
rules adopted by the former convention
remain in force for the ensuing three
years.
Mr. MoMasters thought the rules
should not be extended for a longer pe
riod than one year, for the reason that
they might not be applicable to the case

and the Chairman proceeded to ,read
;he®, at the conclusion of which Mr.

bles—VP here to Hire your Teams, and
Where to Board your Horses.
Under the name and style of Robt. H.
Patterson & Co., Messrs, John H. Stew
art, ex-Sheriff, and R. H. Patterson have
entered into part nersthip for carrying on
the general livery and sales stable bu
siness, at the corner of Seventh avenue
and Liberty street. For more than a
third of a century the senior partner of
the firm has been identified with the bu
siness, and from his long experience has
acquired a thorough knowledge in horse
matters, and those trusting their stock
to his care can rest assured that their in
terests will not. suffer: Col. Stewart is
universally known as a clever, accom
modating and courteous gentleman, with
whom it is ailleasure to have business
dealings. He can "talk horse" and man
age as cleverly as the best in the busi
ness, and as he will give his undivided
attention to the stables the firm of R. H.
Patterson t C0.,-must rapidly advance
in popular favor and patronage.
The stable is large, airy and commodi
ous and is now undergding such repairs
and improvements as will make it the
most inviting, convenient and healthy In
the city. It has approaches, one from
Seventh avenue and the other froth
Strawberry alley.' The lot upon which it
stands is two hundred and fifty , feet
deep, extending through from Seventh
avenue to the alley, and in the centre is
a large yard where - it is proposed to hold
sales every Saturday, which will, •no
doubt, prove a great accommoda
tion to both buyers and sellers. Sales of
this character are held weekly in all the
more prominent cities of the Union,
and we feel satisfied that they will prove
at once successful and popular here. The
carriage house of the concern is well
worth a visit, if only to seethe beautiful
vehicles with which it is crowded. It
must be borne in mind that everything
connected with this stable Is new, horses,
carriages, buggies, wagons, harness, etc.,
and further, that no expense has been
spared to secure the best stook In the
market. Their carriages were purchased
from the best Eastern makers, and for
richness, comfort and extreme beauty of
appearance cannot be surpassed. They
are gold mounted, and from the expen
sive manner in which they are finished,
remind one of the famous State equip
ages which make such a display in the
royal processions so common at the other
side of the - Atlantic. They are
perfect palaces on wheels, and
are so arranged as to secure
the amplest ventilation. One especially,
a perfect chariot, can be converted from
an elegant closed carriage to an open
and luxurious phaeton in an instant.
Nearly one hundred head of fresh horses,
including such noble animate as "Sher
man:" are kept for hire, and any of our
friends desiring a neat rig with horses to
suit their tastes, quiet or Spirited, fast or
ordinary, will do well to furnish the new
firm with a call. In addition to the or
dinary stalls, the firm are .fixing up a
nriniber of roomy box stalls for the ac
commodation of valuable horses which
may be sent there either on livery or to
be disposed of. These will be found very
convenient, and the owners of fast and
valuable horses will not be slow to ap
predate their advantage over the com
mon stalls. The firm are now ready for
business, and in the beautiful sentiment
of Rip Van Winkle, we say, "May
they live long and prosper."
Benevolent Enter Prise.
Elder Daniel Wadkins, an intelligent
color e d gentleman, &lay accredited
agent of the Tennessee „Manual Labor
School—distant from Nashville some
twenty-live miles—is now in this city so
liciting aid to complete the payment for
three hundred acres of land, and for the
necessary school buildings, the whose
sum required being ii , 20,000.
This institution is incorporated by the
Legislature of Tennessee, is located in a
populous district where it is groatly
needed, and its benefits are restricted to
no class, creed or color. The project has
the countenance of all classes, and we
hope our own citizens, notwithstanding
the many demands made from day to day
upon their charity, will make room for
this appeal in behalf of a people not able
to help themselves. Help the poor• and
the needy, the Lord will repay.

in health.
This serves for the more correct eluci
dation of disease by comparison and
measurement of the deviations from the
healthy standard. Thus the average
proportionate constituents of the blood
in health being reduced to a standard,
any considerable deviation from this
standard quality of the blood is diseases
The same in the urinary excretion; the
average natural proportionate constitu
ents of the urine in health form 'the
standard, any considerable deviation
from which basis, either in proportion or
constituents, exhibits disease.
This latter is a practical fact which we
are daily demonstrating at our office,
N 0.182 Grant street, and which any one
can have tested to their entire satisfac
tion, by sending a standard specimen
(morning urine) for scientific aiialyais
and examination.
Irweittii to detect the “morbid condi
tions," if any; or to determine the nature
of the disease, or the organs affected, as
the lungs, liver, stomach, brain, kidneys,
womb, &c., there shall be no charge
made.
Be sure to give the age of the patient
at the same time, as the urine varies in
proportionate constituents in the differ
ent ages of infancy, childhood, manhood
and old age.
The name and reeidence of each patient
should be given also, in order to avois
confusion of cases, where medicines are
taken. L. OLDSIIVE, M. D.
The Age of Progress.
That there is •an age of progress, is*
self-eyident fact, undeniable and =con
troyerted. It is apparent in every
branch of art, science and trade, and in
no particular branch oP industry is the
fact more strongly brought, to our notice
than In the manufacture of Queensware.
If. any of our readers should question
this assertion, we would refer them to
the establishment of . 8. M. Kier It Co, .
No. 363 Liberty street, manufacturers of
Queensware and pottery, where will be
found one of, the iargest assortments of .
Queensware le . the city, and of a quality
equal to the best European manufac
turers. This excellent.ware is all manu
factured at the Keystone Pottery in tbis
city, and is sold at prices far below those
asked for eastern ware of the same qual
ity. s '

Megraw's long experience in• business,

HOW TO PAY FOR, IT
Many persons entertain the idea that it
is a difficult matter to pay for a 'Weed
Sewing Machine. Such is not the fact,
however, as any one can be dorix4looPOr
they will call at 'the Agency, No.
Market street. Thirty-three cents a day
is all that Is necessary, and that amount
can be economized by every lady. . For
instance, the saving of the money. ex
pended by the male members of the feta
ily for tebacco would soon foot up the ,
amount needed; or the cutting of
ries or unnecessary articles enteringln-'
to household expenditures, would soon -
accomplish this desirable object.- No
matter how straightened the ciroulustan- '
ces of a family, there are .alWayit some ,
extra expenses which may be 'curtailed,
and the money_ thus saved may be ex- •
pended for a sewing machine. Such an
investment would at once heconie -
source of revenue, and the ndceilsity of '
enduring pi ivations would be removed.
As an illustration of the difference be
tween hand sewing and sewing on •
