names are familiar in the community,
were arrested for creating a disturbance

His leg was broken by the fall, and he Is
now lying at the hotel named, where the

Alleged Forgery.
Mr. William Peach made information
before the Mayoryesterdav charging Hor
ace S. Snowdeu with forgery. It is alleged
.
that on the 4th day of May last the ac•
cased drew up a promissory note for $475,
payable by himself to his father, and on
the same day presented the • note to Mr,
William Peacti , endorsed, or purporting
to be endorsed, by Joseph Snowden,
father of the accused, and his uncle, F.
L. Snowden, and at the same time pre
senting a letter or note purporting to
have been written and signed by
F. L. Snowden, stating that he
would see the , note 'paid. Upon
this endorsement Mr. Peach noshed
the note, and thought nothing more ef
the matter until yesterday morning,
when he presented the p4pers to hir.
F. L. Snowden, who pronounced them
forgeries and denied either having en
dorsed the note or written the letter. \
The accused, it aPpears, left the city a
few days after the 'transaction, and has
not been back- since. It was reported
that he had gone to Chicago, and the
Chief of Police of that zity, was tele
graphed to and requested to have him
arrested. • 1
It further appears that the sam man,
while his father was Mayor's lerk,
without the authority or knowle ge of
either his father or the Mayor, collected
switch licenses to the amount of PA
which he failed to turn over to the city.

RANAOERS' REPORT.
The Managers of the Pittsburgh and

nieet, today to celebrate their eighth an
niversary. 'We feel, as on all former occa
sions. that w e have great cause for grati
tude to our leavenly Father for His sus
taining care and many mercies bestowed
upon us. That watchful eye that notices
the sparrow's fall has been over this in
stitution, and these littlemnes have been
clothed from His bountiful hand.-
There is great cause for gratitude that
such good health has been vouchsafed to
us. But few cases of sickness and only
one dbath (and that of a delicate babe,)
have occurred during the year.
This speaks well for the sanitary con
dition of the institution. Allis done that
is in Our power to promote this end. In
Tel/Jeering the operations of these years
that are past, we cannot help feeling that
soma good has resulted from the efforts
put forth to benefit these children of sor
row and want. Hundreds of neglected
and friend leas little ones have been shel
tered by us, and it may be have received
instruction that will be the foundations
for a life of usefulness here, and of hap
pintails in a future world.
Asthere are many charitable institu
tions in these cities, it may not be amiss
again to specify the nature and object of
this pne, as it does not seem to be fully
understood, even by some who contri
bute to its support.
It 4 leceives all friendless children_that
it n accommodate, those who have
been bereft of parents, or those whose
pars are unfit, or unable to provide
for them. There are many case; where
one 1 parent is removed by death,
perhaps the mother, and the father finds
himiielf unable to care for the little ones
as hi) would like to do. He places them
with us, pays what he can for -them and
feels happy, that the loss of the mother,
is iri-a measure supplied to his children.
A mother is left with a family depen
dent on her, the labor of her hands is in
sufficient to provide for all their wants,
and even if she could, who is to care
for them, while she is absent from her
home laboring to procure the means for
their support.
Such children are places with us, and
the mother can go to her labor with a
cheerful heart, knowing that the chil
dren will be watched!, over and kindly
cared for.
Who will not say this' is, a-great bless
ing. and be happy to contribute to such
an end? Some are here because their pa
rents are addicted to the dreadful vice of
intemperance. A little girl was brought
to ns some months ago, by a kind heart
ed gentleman, who 'found her in a pills;
ble condition. Parents were drunk, ar
rested* for disorderly conduct, sent to
jail, and poor Mary was left to the (than.
-ty of others. 6•lte is still an inmate of the
Home.
These cases might be multiplied, but
it is unnecessary. We have twenty-nine
children of our deceased soldiers, for
which the State pays •us $lO5 each per
year. To our receiving these children
we have heard objections, but we think
they are unjustly made, Many of these
are as friendless as any others, and as de
serving of our care. Should we not
rather feel that they are a sacred legacy
entrusted to us, and just now, while the
nation is honoring the memoryof those
that have fought, bled and died for us,
show our regard for them by caring for
their children? We have received dur
ing the year sixty-five children, and six
adults, temporarily. One of these. Mrs.
IS—. was at the Vomit for weeks
with her three children. -Ber n
u case was
one of groat distress, and she manifested
much gratitude for being so kindly
treated at the Home.
We\have dismissed twenty-nine dill.
dren, t o restored to parents, one adopt
ed, an one death. Present number
ninety.t. o. This 'has been about the
number we have had through the year,
and we have refused many more than
have been received; for want of room.

made great exertions to render their

ilow well they succeeded may be learned
from the following:
UNIONTOWN, Pa., May 31, 1809.
Ladies of the Monunicetal Association :
I take the earliest opportunity, after
Our return, to express, in behalf of the
teachers and scholars of the Uniontown
Soldiers' Orphan School, our grateful ac
knowledgments for the very kind and
hospitable manner in which we were en
tertained while on a visit to your city on
Decoration Day. Oar accommodations
at the Soldiers' Horne were most admi
rable and sumptuous. To Dr. King,
Mrs. King, Major Reslep, and the Ma
tron, Mrs. Johnston, we are especially
indebted, and fully appreciate their
kindness in receiving us into their de
lightful Horne—lor their attentention to
our wants and readiness even to discom
mode themselves for our comfort.
To those who made provisions for our
conveyance to and from the Home, and
to the cemetery and back, as well as for
their laborious attention, and also to the
Pittsburgh and tkmnellaville Rail
road Company, for their renewed
favor to our school. we are under
great obligations., Nor can we omit
to give expression ,to our grateful
feelings for our splendid entertainment
at City Hall, and for the thoughtful and
valuable gift of books, than *Lich noth
ing could have been more suitable , or
more highly appreciated by the children.
They were distributed ; is - directed, and
made many glad hearts; they will also
be grateful mementoes. To all who in
any way contributed to our comfort 'and
pleasure, we desire in this manner, and
through you, to , express the sincere
thanks of the school. Respectfully &c.,
A. H. WATNRS.
Principal of the Soldiers' Orphan School.
The books referred to, consisted of a

Several months since I was delegated to
buy a large bell, 2,800 pounds, for the
Sixth street Methodist Episcopal Church
of our city, and having noticed for sev
eral
years that all of th 4 fine toned bells
on the steamboats landing at our wharf
were from the Fultop foundry. I at once
decided to give vou the preference. The
bell cast by you for us has now been in
use several months, and is entirely satis
factory. - For .rich mellowness of tone
and volume of sound it has no equal in
this part ot the State. One of the city
churches having a 'Cincinnati bell that
rcracked twice, have sent to your city for
one of your bells, andl another • church
will do likewise shortly. We take pleas
ure in recommending your bells to all
inquirers, leeling confident that they will
recommend theriaselvel wherever intro
duced.
' Please accept this unsolicited expres
sion, and refer to ouril bell with confi
dence. Yours, &c.,

Ladies Attention; Price Reduced.
We are pleased to be able to inform
our readers this morning that the prices
of dry goods—at least of fa very desirable
class of dry goods—haYe been reduced.
Reduction of prices, is never initiated
save in a first-class house-an enterpris
ing house—a house where the sales are
1
so large that reduction can be afforded,
andlhe proprietors so judicious as to
give their customers the very best bar
gains attainable. In the present instance
it is the popular firm of Bates & Bell, 21
Fifth avenue, which relieves the pur
chasing public. Mends. Bates & Bell
have lowered their rates on many of their
most attractive dress goods fully 25 per
I cent. They are now receiving a large
and very full stock ofithe finest fabrics
lof every description, which, while per
haps excelling any heretofore exhibited,
I can be 'bought at ettremely moderate
s : figures .` To day we invite special ;Wen
' Lion to a beautiful asSortment of Ameri
can made Lenos, or wash poplins which
- are warranted to retain all their- colors
and wear in the-Most, satisfactory man
ner. Some of thesel excellent goods,
i
1 suitable for children' dresses, aro sell
' i ing at twenty-five cents per yard, while
I ver y attractive
o rate. 1
are sell
ing at the same rate. In fabrics for
suits Messrs. Bates &Bell offer particu
-- tar Inducements. They have them plain,
i mottled, striped and! figured in every
variety. Grenadines with black ground
form a handsome feature of this depart
ment. All varieties and colors of alpac
as are on hand, to Which, however, we
need no more than allude to, as every lady
knows 21 Fifth avende to be the store
par excellence for I alpacas. Of' silks
there is a fresh and very superior
assortment, comprising American black
and foreign silks, Japanese silks of all
patterns and colors, (the best selection
in the city,) and till) choicest evening
silks of every shade; In writing of the
alpacas it may be proper to state that the
three most popular makes, the "Buffalo,"
"Grand Duchess" and "Dragon," are on
a l i t hand—the second' of which is new and
a d i superior to anything heretofore offered.
o f Need we say to our lady readers where
) r . I they can buy the beet and finest goods
w . at the lowest prices at all times? Scarcely;
B o_ I if they have seen the new stock at 21
Fifth avenue, they know why we should
o f ; direct thein'there. i .
