An Enjoyable Entertainment. —Last
evening the pupils of MM. Slack Davis'
Academy gave an exhibition of parlor
dancing and light gymnastics at the
Academy of Music. 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

manortorn, well known throughout the
two cities and country as of high integ
rity and abundant capacity. 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. Most of the old clubs have
failed to organise yet. We are sorry to
see this. There is no better or more
healthful out-door pastime than base
ball when not carried to excess. In Cin

already a number of games have been
pla3rd, and the *season promises to be

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.

Martha West, a nymph of dark coin
plexioni was arrested yesterday and
locked kip for a bearing, on a charge of
disordezily conduct. 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.

Legislation Needed.
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.
Decoration Day.
The committee appointed by the recent '
convention of the G. A. R. to make the
necessary arrangements for decorating
the graves of onr fallen soldiers, on , the
80th of May, hereby invite all organiza
tions in the county which intend to par
ticipate in the solemn ceremony; to notify
the Secretary of such intention, and send
at least one representotive to meet with

WBURGIU GAZETTE::
Mutual Benefit Instiranee Company.
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.

ATIJIMAY I : MAY 8, 1
A Model Amours Establhhment.-
Where to Purehise Home. Made Fur
niture at Reasonable Prices.
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

The,Hlight lien In the Bight Place.
A. D. 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

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.
Munson's Rod will be put up forthwith.
