ted to preset the report of the special
Committee relative to the purchase of
turnpikes and plank roads inside of the
city limits.
The Special Committee appointed to
confer with the several Turnpike and
Plank Road Companies, would respect
fully report ,that at au interview had
with Mr. Scully, the Sequestrator of the
Braddooks Field Plank Road Company,
stated that there were judgtnents against
the company which would have to be
paid before the Sequastrator could trans
fer the road to the city, nor could be
promise that any of this amount would
be expended in improving the remainder
of the road. Yet if the consent of the
Court could be obtained, he was willing to
transfer the road to the city without cost,
provided it would immediately widen
and grade the road at the expense of the
property owners along the line of the
road. Your Committee would suggest
the acceptance of the latter proposition,
and that as soon as proper legislation can
be secured or the consent of the property
owners along the line of the road be ob
tained, the road be opened and graded.
That your Committee met with Hon.
Thos..M. Howe, Isaao Jones and William
Semple, Committee from the Farmers'

ment for the sale of the road to the city.
at any sum less than t 60,000, the amount
awarded by the Commission at the as
sessment, and should the city agree to
purchase the road at this price, they will
insist on its also assuming the part of the
road company in the agreement between
it and the Pittsburgh and East Liberty
Passenger Railway Company, in which
the road company, in consideration of
the sum of aNO per annum,
paid by the
railway company, agree to keep the road
in order, and they also desire your Com
mittee to report that they were in noway
anxious to dispose of the road to the city.
believing that while remaining In their
hands the road, while paying them a
dividend, would be kept in better condi
tion than by the city. Your committee
would, therefore, suggest that no action
be taken in the matter and the road al
lowed to remain in the hands of the pres
sent company.

four being necessary for a quorum, when

ance. •
Mr. McCandless—Mr. President: I
think the members who leave the house
while we are transacting business, should
be severely censured. And I hope their
action will be published, that their con
stituents may know how they are repre
sented: This matter is properly a part of
the proceedings of Councils, and should
be spread before the public.
Mr. Morgan—l think, Mr. President,
that all members leaving the house with
out permission of the Chair, should be,
fined, as prescribed in our rules. •
The Chairman—The only method of
having the matter made public is to re
quest the reporters to incorporate it. - in
their minutes.
Mi. McCandless—Well, then, Mr.
President, I move that the reporters be
requested to make a note of this'affair in
their acc.lunt of our proceedings.

,hearty favor, and was unanimously
'adopted.

ties of the Urine, as also the general
pathological o;nditions in disease, can
soon learn the chemical analysis and
microscopic operations necessary to de
tect the precise nature of almost every
malady with a positiveness amounting
to more nearly mathethatical precision
than is possible in any other way.
These investigations and the prescrib
ing of medicines in accordance with these
facts has been the practical business of
our life. &) extensive has been our ex
perience in these examinations during
the last twenty years that scarcely a town
or township within fifty miles of Pitts
burgh, but, numbers a dozen or more
patrons \ who have thus sent to us and
obtained relief.
And knoWing that hundreds of others
are still lingering out a miserable exis
tence without medical aid, some because
they have passed through the "old or
deal" without relief, and some perhaps
because they may not know where to
apply .to,' we feel justified in making
these/hal public, satisfied that a number
will seize upon these plain truths and be
fully rewarded by a cure.
Our remedies , in all chronic diseases
are such a t s remove the morbid matters
from the blood, and tone up the system.
TO build up! not brews. down. To
stimulate the organic system to a healthy
action, , and strengthen the body to its
full vigor of. animal life, are the princi
ples which will lead to success, if success
is at all to be had.

Phinp Phillips.
TO-morrow evening this celebrated
sweet singer will give one of his inimita
ble entertainments in the First Metho
dist Chut.ch (Rev. Alexander Clarke's),
Fifth avenue. He is already so well
known to our readers that the Fiero ,an
_
nouncement of the performance will
doubtless, as heretofore, be sufficient to
attract a crowded house.- We can imag
ine no more enjoyable method of spend
ing an evening than listening to the ex
quisite songs of the "Singing Pilgrim,"
which seem to sing themselves into the
affections and heart of every ilitener.
Mr. Phillips, aside from his finished
vocal culture, exercises consummate tact
and judgment in his selections, which
add so greatly to the attractions of his
entertainments. Since his last visit to
Pittsburgh ho has prepared a new pro
gramme, and those who attend the con
cert to-morrow evening may expect a
fresh and varied entertainment.

which was protected by the Munson

It is Seldom that we use the columns
of this paper to "puff" or notice the
"thousand and one" articles known as
"Patent Medicines." We, however,
vary from our rule in the present case,
that we may call attention to the article
known as "S. T.-1860—X., Plantation
Bitters." We desire it understood that
we do so v‘ithout any solicitation or
promise of benefit from the proprietor or
other interested parties, We simply do
it as an act of duty towards those who
are laboring under physical disabilities,
weakness, and the various complaints
arising from impurities of the blood.
Having used the Bitters at the instiga
tion of a friend, (and. we confess, with
some misgivings at the out set.) we
found them a most valuable medical
compound, am' 'nr great satisfaction,
accomplished ,f for which they
were used.
