The first part of the programme consisted of calisthenic ex ercises,-which were followed by a fairy drania • expressly adapted from I .Mici- Bummer Nights Dream." The enter tainment attracted a fashionable and ap preciative audience, and was in every respect a success worthy of those under whose supervision it was gotten up. We would call attention to the adver tisement, in another column, of Mr. Louis Dreka, stationer. in Philadelphia. From perfional experience we can state that Mr. Dreka's stock, of French and English papers, is really beautiful, nor ,do we think that in the matter of en graving, printing and coloring initials, monograms and crests his establishment has a Superior. Many of the most ele gant wedding cards and invitations of the season here come from Mr. Dreka's, and we think all who deal with him are thoroughly satisfied. For Recorder.—B. A. Sampson, Esqr., of Manchester, allows his name to. go out to.day as a candidate for the office of Conniy Recorder, subject to the decision of the IReptiblicart nominating Conven tion.

If out of his hosts of friends there shall be enough in Convention to nominate him, his elec tion will be sure, and he will approve himself an officer diligent, faithful and efficient, as one to the manner born. The base ball mania serkila to have died out in this vicinity. There have been but two or three games played by the juvenile clubs since.the opening of the season.

In Cin cinnati, New York, and other localities, already a number of games have been pla3rd, and the *season promises to be Dne of activity.

Yesterday morning three night-Wien; were brought before Mayor Drum, char& ed with emptying the contents of their carte on the banks of the river in the neighborhood of the dwellings on River avenue, Fourth ward. They were each fined five dollars and costs, and warned against a repitition of the offense. The night-callers are a prolific source of trou ble to the Allegheny authorities. In numerable attempts have been made by ordinance to regulate the business, but thus far none have proved successful, and complaints are being continually made. It seams to be one of those chronic difficulties for which there is no remedy. Committee Meeting. The Executive Committee appointed by the Convention of the several Posts of they G. A.

On motion Major Denniston was elected Secretary. A resolution.directing the Secretary to publish an invitation to all churches, religl ohs and other societies in the county to participate in the ceremonies, and re. quest them to communimite with him relative to the matter, was adopted. The Committee then adjourned torneet on Friday the 14th inst.

It appears that Martha-and Susan 171ery, whose name frequently appears in the police reports, went into a drinking saloon on Wooster street, and after drinking together sev eral times, oecame belligerent, when a fight ensued. The dusky nymph dis played too much muscle for her white sister and Susan called in the police, who took charge of the colored female pugilist and conveyed her to the lock up. Susan followed to the watch house at the re-. quest of the officer, to make a charge against Martha, and while making the statement, received a blow on the side of the head from Martha, which felled her to the floor. The officer interfered and prevented the “mill" from continuing, by placing Martha in a cell. She will have a hearing this niozning. Eggleston's Sunday School Manual.

We stated a few days ago that a special committee appointed by the Allegheny Councils, to consider the best method of improving the Third Ward Diamond Square, had decided to recommend to Councils the adoption of a plan for the erection of a building com bining a public hall and a large block of storerooms for rental. Since the mottling of the committee, the subject has attracted considerable at -tension and so far as has been ascertained meets with general favor. The practica bility of the plan and the immense benefit to the city to be derived therefrom, iteems to be patent to all . and carry their own recommendations. Since the mat ter has be& agitated, however, a new feature has been developed, which may possibly result in Its total defeat. It is contended by some that according to the city charter none of the Diamond squares can be appro. priated for any purpose other than own pation for markets or buildings to be used exclusively by the City authorities. If this be the proper construction of the law, then, to carry out the plan proposed would be out of the question, unless special legislation could be btained. The Committee, however, have decided upon recommending the project and thus bringing it before Uouncil, when doubt less a full investigation will be made. If this plan be not adopted, some other should, and the more quickly it is de cided upon the more the interests of the city will be advanced. The ground In question is too :Valuable to be allowed to lie in its present conditicin. If the city needs money, let her reach out a hand in this direction and get It. Jelin Roxbury was once tho fortunate possessor of a coat, a black broadcloth article, but yesterday he mourned its loss. R seems that John's financial ar -I,ti rangements, somehow , became derang , and to relieve himself from the emb r t 1 rassment, he endeavored to negotiat a ' loan, by .1 leaving the coat as I lateral. The collateral, however, w a not regarded in a very ' value lc light by the parties to whom he a plied, as the highest amount he could realize by this methcd was two dolla4l. At this moment a friend, Miss Mary Goggins, stepped in, and learning the situation of affairs proposed to take the matter in hand, feeling confident sfie could succeed better than John. She took the coat, and whether her anticipa tions were realized or not, John never could learn, as, according to his state ments, she has managed to keep out di his way ever since. Fearing the loss of his garment, he lodged information against Mary, before Alderman Lynch, for larceny as bailee, upon which a war rant was issued. In the meantime he remains ooatleas.

We are pleased to call the attention of our readers once more to this excellent, institution, which presents in abstract of its annual statement in our columns this - morning. We are more than satisfied, from per sonal acquaintance with its history, that the caption which heads the column; “Suceess bespeaks iferit," is not an empty boast. Its success is not of that false and illusory kind which consists in a rapid and abnormal groWth of its busi ness, stimulated by excessive commis sions to agents and the concoction of new and fancy schemes of insurance, by which the creduluni are led to believe that its benefits can be enjoyed without paying the inevitable cost which attends every real value. The Mutual Benefit had its inception in the idea of furnishing' to all who might desire it, Life Insurance with per fect safety at the minimum cost. This idea led to its organization on the strictly mutual plan, and has steadily controlled ita management up to the present time, when it has the proud distinction of a smaller ratio of expense to income than that of any other company on the con tinent, considerably less Indeed than one-half of the average of all others. This year closes the first quarter of a century of its beneficent career, du ring which time it has paid on Lives of Deceased Members over .. .... f 7,000,000 Has returned in Surplus Pre miums more than. .......... ... 000,000 And has in Safe and Profitable 8, Investment above ....... ....... 16,500,000 An ample protection to its 30,000 policy holders. It has never lost a dollar from injudi cious investments. Wisely conservative but decidedly and steadily progressive. it has avoided, on the one hand, the fluc tuations and retrogressions of other prominent companies, and on the other, has kept fullyiabreastwith all the improv ed plans that mark the history of modern life insurance. We are happy to know that the suc cess of this Company, in this commu clity, has been in no small degree com mensurate with its merits. , I For the time 4as been represented zmong.tiN, we are well asiiirel! that no Company possessesa larger list of policy holders, and this number, notwithstand ing the stringency of the times, has been the ast year, a fact equally creditable to t h e sagacity and intelligence of our citizens and the per sonal and business qualifications of the general agent for Pennsylvania, S. M. .Loveridge, who will bo glad to see any of our patrons at 42 Fifth avenue, and bee them all desired information on this suject. ' And by the way, we deem it but sim ple justice to the General Agent to bear testimony to his scrupulous integrity in 81. 1 . intercourse with his customers. We have never blot with a gentleman who was better informed, or on whose judt went and advice we would more impli citly rely, in all matters relating to life insurance. *Ho may justly feel proud of his extraordinary success In the conduct of the general agency of one of the rich est and safest institationsin the country, and of the perfect fairness and probity of all the means by which that success has been secured.

It always affords us much pleasure to record the business success of gentlemen who start on nothing but strong Will, de termination and good habits to battle their • way forward to front rank and prominent position in the line of busi ness which they have adopted. Over thirty years ago, Mr. C. G. Hammer came to our city, and securing a. plaCe as a furnished and thoroughly skilled mechanic in a leading furniture making establishment, steadily worked himself up to a leading place in the trade, and to-day, dating back his career to au humble beginning, finds himself , senior partner, and the head or one of the lar gest and most important furniture houses of the West. He and his two sons, Rich ard H. Hammer anti RObert E. Hammer, all practical and, experienced Cabinet matters, and industrious and attentive workmen, have formed a partner ship trinity which must secure for their house a prominence far beyond the reach of cotemporary establishments. In their own elegant and palatial house, N 0.48 Seventh ave nue, they have just opened under the name of C. (.'Hammer dr Sons, a furni ture emporium which in point of true elegance, finish and commodiousness is unsurpassed by any in Vie country. The building is one of the - architectural beau ties of the city, and by its flne com manding appearance and beautiful finish attracts universal attention. But the rich finishing, the broad and amide sales rooms are matters of little consequence to the purchaser so long as the stock is fully up to the requirements of the day. The first floor room is devoted to sample purposes, where the most ele gant, durable and best made furniture for the ibr parlor, dining room, chamber, lary, or office, a to be found all mad by hand, as thi f s firm entirely , die dardc machinery in order to secure , per fection in all their manufactures. The double upper stories, divided by massive arches, are devoted to the display of furniture in gene ral, and is approached by a broad well lighted and airy stairway - leading from a commodious hall at the lower side of the entrance of the main isidel room. The Arrniture manufactured by the firm is of the very beat quality, plain, elegant and rich; according to the tastes of the purchaser, and Is sold at as reas onable prices as can elsewhere be l'ob tained, either in the East or this city: The factory of the firm has just been finished, and will compare in every de partment with any in this neighborhood. None brit the most skilful and expo rienced mechanics are employed and all work is warranted to afford satisfaction. A. foreman having over a quarter of a century of experience is id charge of: the factory, and be personally superintends and inspects every article previous to its leaving the nc shop, *0 ; ensure the continuae of tae highr ep optation the firm enjoys. We bespeak 'for this house a large share of trade and cor dially recommend the firm to the confi dence and patronage of our readers, knowing Omni to be fair dealing and honorable business gentlemen in every way worthy support and patronage. - - Steam-Engines, Machinery and Castings, and Wnere to Leave Your Order*. We take pleasure in_ calling the atten tion of our readers to the manufacturing . establishment Of Messrs, Hugh M. Bole & Co., steam engine blinders, foundcrs and machinists. Their shop is located on the bank of the Allegheny river, near the Point, Pittsburgh, Pa. Their repu tation for making rirst class steam en-a glees and machinery is second to node, and wo are assured, by parties whO have used their new oil well engines * that they are unsurpassed in quality of workman ship and cheapness. Their heavy .en gines, for riot and saw mills, are modeLs of strength and style of finish. Parties wanting an engine cannot be better suited, we think, anywhere, and what Is very desirable to a customer Is that they can be Shown In a few minutes an eng!ne running of their manufacture of aim* every size, from a ton horse power to a hundred horse power. Messrs. Bole & 1 , Co. have now several contrasts for power- ful engines, one of which is designed for Messrs. Archibald, Kellg & Co., of Sharpsburg, who are erecting, drat clais saw mill in that thriving village, and are putting In a sixty horse power en gine to run their machinery: Again, we say to the readers of the Gazern, visit the Industrial Machine Works of Messrs. H. M. Bole& Co. should you.want agood I engine, and we will stake our reputatill on yoThr getting such at a fair price. In addition to the manufacture of steam engines and a variety of other machinery too numerous to mention, their fancy castings, made at the Thir d Avenue Foundry, near Market street'- are worthy of special notice. Thermally` beautiful fences and ornamental work; erected by Messrs. Cochran itt' Bros., -are tho best advertisements of , the work made at this foundry. The firm of Messrs. Bole & Co. are de serving of patronage, and Nye cheerfully recommend all the branches of their, manufacture as worthy of inspection,' and as challenging comparison with the; products of the best shops east or west. *he Gets Them. Considereble inquiry has been made recently relative to the shipment of a large lot of cigars to Washington City, which, it is presumed, were intended for the use of the President. We cannot say to whom the segars were assigned or for whom they were intended, but we do know that President Grant cannot get a better aeuar than can, be obtained at 45 Hand street, at the wholesale and retail segar and tobacco mart of Jno. Megraw. Mr. Megraw has on hand'one of the larg est and best stooks of tobacco and segars to be found in the city, including all the best brands of both articles. He also . deals in pipes, tobacco pouches, segar cases, and, in fact, 'everything usually found in a first °lists tobacco house. . At the popular "Corner_ Dry Gonda Store" of Richard Deakers, Fifth avenue and Grant street, will be found a Splen did stock of carpets at very popular prices, such as might have-been consid ered cheap previous to the war. The stock is large and the selection. tin , and we urge our lady readers to visit t e car pet room of the Corner Dry Good Store before purchasing elsewhere. ad mirable stock of dry goods has ale jus been received and offered at the ui aally t reasonable prices which have long made the house popular. —_,„..____ q ueen sware—Prlces to compare with any house jti the two cities.

McKee, Esq., has now the sole control and management of the large establiihment of J. W. Barker dr Co., 59 Market street. We know of no one bet ter qualified for the honorable and re sponsible position. Mr. McKee has'been well known in this city for about twenty years as a gentleman of excellent taste and superior business qualifications. His whole life has been devoted to the single branch of dry goods, and no one Understands it better. He is polite and accommodating to all, however limited or extensive their. purchases, and there. fore commands a very large patronage. It is thought by some that the opening of another store on St. Clair street, which will take place in about two weeks, will impose too heavy a task upon him. But we know, from personal acquaintance, that he is fully competent, as he is a gentleman of, system, to man age both establishments well.. Mr. J. W. Barker, Jr., Is the eastern purchaser for the house. As an accomplished mer chant and gentleman Mr. Barker has no superiors. They are both the right men to tte right place. Such is the name giyen to one of the best conducted and most orderly saloons and restaurants of the'city. The "Ruby" is located at N 0.19 Smithfield street, and is presided over by. Mr. John M. Welsh, proprietor, a gentleman who conducts his business so cleverly, and with so much judguient and precision as to en title him to the rank of prince among caterers. The saloon is one of the most eleant and best appointed in the y furnished in splendid etyle and very citat , tractive. The bar always 'rejoices in a selection of wines and liquors which can not be equaled by rival houses. Purity of the drinks is the first consideration, and poisoned drugs dealt at the bars of so many houses in the name of liquors are discarded entirely by the host, who pays good round prices for his stock, and keeps none but the best and purest for his patrons. The restaurant depart. ment is ably managed, and a good meal served up at a few minutes notice and in the highest style of art is always forth coming at most reakonable rates. We commend the "Ruby" as the model con ducted saloon of the city, and any of our readers passing that way and desir ing to call enywhere, should not forget the genial, courteous and obliging host, Mr. Welsh, wk) is always presiding with grace and dignity over his popular and first class , restaurant and saloon. The Contlitental Saloon. • • • The high reputation Holtzheimtr's Con ' tinental dining saloon has always sus tained, and the extensive patronage it receives is the strongest evidence of its superiority as a restaurant. We . speak advisedly, and know whereof we speak when we say that the Continental dining saloon is not surpassed in any respect by . any establishment of the character in the city , The tables are always supplied with the beat tho market affords; the rooms are kept clean and neat, and every thing is in the most perfect order. Re member the Continental is on Fifth ave nue, one door west of the Posioilice. The Munson Lightning Rod. The Board of Education have decided to have Munson's Copper Tubular Light ning Rod with Spiral Flanges, erected on 'the Central School building; being con 'vinced, since the partial destruction of that edifice by lightning, that the iron rod now attached thereto is insufficient.
