It now seems was committed by boys. The young rogues entered the cellar of an adjoining house and purloined a bottle df wine, after which they climbed over the fenceinto Mr. Brown's yard. They gained entrance intothe homy) by prying open a window shutter with a chisel. It is not known whether anything of value was taken. -- *Thc boys first tramped through a pile of lime and then clirekb over the fence leaving footprints upon the top of the boards; -from which the police judged the size and .character of the depredators. - There is no clue further, than this. The Commencement Exercises of Wash ington and Jefferson College were con cluded on Friday last, and in every view _were of an exceedingly interesting char acter.

The assemblage was exceedinglyiy brilliant and fashion-. •able, and conspicuous for learning btia refinement. After _.a promenade and socia converse the 'entire: party were seated at a sumptuous supper where the boards grcianed beneath the weight of . the toothsothe things set, upon them. Mr. Smith's generous hospitality and public spirit will long be remembered by his guests end his fellow citizens' of Wash ington,•by whom he is universally: re spected for -his , many'good' qualities of head and heart. 'oni&nfsee . It. , On Satardiy afternoon an official gen. tleman connected w 44 our. municipal government, and a friend, were straining their 'eyes through a piece , of cola glass ,at the eclipse, when a mutual ac quaintence epproached and offered an article '"smoked' expressly for the occa sion." The official accepted the offer, and placing the smoked apparatus to his eye Wised earnestly for about fire min. rues. when he banded it to his friend, with the, remark -that be ocotild , nt see ft."- The , friend tried and made a care ful survey, which -.resulted , - similarly.

AQUATIC he Latest Fiasco—Another Foul of Large Dinenstons—Bets Declared Off —A Nem Mace Proposed. • From five to ten thousand men, women and children found conveyance in a mul titude of ways to the point on the Mo-, nongahela ricer designated for the aquatic race between Jimmy Hamill aqd Harry_ Coulter on SaturdaY afternoon. The banks ( ' of the river,- from which good view cif the race might have been obtained, were lined with people of all ages, sexes, 'colors and classes, while the bosom of the stream was almost cora l). _ etely hidden in the shadows of the steamboats, tugboats, ferryboats, skiffs, yawls, sculls, barges and mud boats, which sat gracefully on the water and weighed down with anxious human beings. Never Before in Pittsburgh hid therebeeri such universal interest cen tered,, in a. similar sporting occasion, and the generous outpouring of the people strengthened the hope that an aquatic, rp*al had set in, and that the spirit which'contribated so much in days of yortt to the enjoyment of, boat races had been resurrected. Neverbefore was there suctik i bright op&rtunity afforded the contestants to elevate the sport with a fair and dignified exhibition• of their rowing capacities, and never before was a golden chance permitted to not only escape unimproved, but to sink rowing and rowers into deeper odium and con tempt. It is useless here to sermonize.. The many thousands of people who hap.' pened to have a little business to, trans act up. the Monongahela river just at the time of the race—for, like the old fly- ing man affair, none can 'be found will= ing to adinit going from home to be sold —have formed their own opinions on the subject, and inwardly resolved to turn a cold shoulder on boating in.he future. THE DAY AND THE MEN. The day was all that could be desired. A right sky overhead and a smooth, beautiful water, undisturbed by a single ripple. It was J net such a day as rowers would desire for a fair-race, and admira bly tilled the bill of reghirements in the articles of agreement.'' The men were both in excellent condi tion: They had been tiained thoroughly and their appearances betokened that both were in splendid 'trim for the con test, neither one appealing to have any advantage, in'this respect, over the oth er. Had they rowed over the coarse, we dare say the race would have been the closest and prettiest ever witnessed on the Monongahela. MAKING READY At precisely four o'clock the men both put in an appearance in their frail little boats and rowed around among the vari ous barges and boats receiving the con gratulations, well wishes and cheers of their friends. In a few moments later the judges and referee appeared at the starting place in their boat and all things were in readiness for THE START. The men were got abreast of each other n their boats and pioneers were sent forward.to.clear the - course, after which the signal was'given and both darted out, Coulter shooting ahead, having dipped his oars, a moment prematurely. The Referee ' called them back for a fresh start. After a moment's delay, the word "go" was again given and both boats started, Coulter getting the lead. When they had progressed - about one hundred and twenty yards Coulter, ..whether purposely or not, is only knowillio r himself, brought his boat directlyothwatt of Hatnill's, and a tan gling of oarti took place. Hamill's boat rocked violently, and before he had it righted Coulter was ten yards in the ad vance. Hathill then threw up his oar and claimed a foul, and leisurely rowed to his boat house. Coulter went over the coarse, being cheered by some"of his friends, but jeered, hooted and hissed at by a large majority of the disappointed spectators. THE BETS, Much sympathy was manifested for Hamill. who nearly everybody re garded as blameless in the matter', and inany claimed for him the stakes, charging Coulter with having deliber ately fouled him. Considerable excite menrwas experienced by those having money up on the race, not knowing how the referee, Mr. John M. King, might have viewed thei matter. That gentle. man announced that he would deliver his decision at seven o'clock in the evening, at the counting room of the Dispatch. At the appointed hour a large crowd aasemoled on Fifth avenue to await the announcement of the decision of-the re. feree. Most of those in waiting were of 'the betters, and of course anxious to learn how their chances stood. There were few persona outside of those thus pecu niarily interested who bothered them selves about the matter after supper, on account of the disgust felt at the' fizzle. Mr. King, the referee, arrived at the Dispatch office about half past seven o'clock and found the judges and others interested awaiting him. He seemed to be amen of few words, for he at once an nounced that he decided the race a draw and all beta were therefore to be con sidered "o" ... 3ff. NEW RACE PROPOSED Mr. Elliott, for Hamill, said that if that was the decision it was not worth while to discuss the Matter, Mr..:King answered that that was his final decision. Mr. Musg,rave for Coulter—We now of fer to_ double the stakes and to row on' Monday or next Saturday. Mr. want to have a test of the merits and skill of-these men, and as they have had several unsatisfactory tri• -alai I. now.; propose,' that the stakes -be doubled and that they each pull the five zpiles on time r id.r. King to be timekeep. er. Mr. Elliott also proposed to make the stakes 55,00680 pull this way, and suggested that the reitsree's boat be pull ed between them thrbugh the race. Mr. Musgrave fitated that a race was desired and he woonld speak for Coulter's backerlf, that theY will double the stakes and row the race on Monday. So the matter rests:; Ijo will be a very hard matter on the part of the city Press to again work up such a great, interest in another race, as ,ths'l people have• swallowed too much of-a dose in Sabin -days' fiasco to again be caught by a future occasion. .

PIITSBUGH GA=Ez... MONDAY, AUGUST ResoluUous- of the Grand Army or thi - Republic. • We have just received 'the report of ,the proceedings of the late conclave of !the Pennsylvania Department of the Grand Army ok' the Republic, held at Altoona. The following *solutions were adopted: WHEREAS, We the comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic, Depart ment of Pennsylvania, in convention as sembled, reiterating the sentiments ex pressed by us on former occasions, that we disclaim the character of a Apartizan organization, or that we have in view any other object than that of mutual assis tance and self protection, to revive and strengthen old friendship formed' in the field, and form new and intimate rela tions with ethers*ho united in the sup• pression of the rebellion, and to render proper aid and support to those left des titute by our fallen comrades in arms; ' Resolved, That we hold it to be the part of wisdom and finty, justice and right, religion and truth, ; in the Federal Gov ernment to bestow' its patronage upon those who periled' their lives, sacrificed their fortunes, and ruined their health that the country might live. Resolved, That we most emphatically disapprove of the manner in which the claims of the soldier have been ignored by those who control the national ap pointment fu \Pennsylvania. Resolved, That empty pledges and promises unftilfilled, are but mockery iu answer to the wounded man's appeal, and cannot fail to act on those responsible: and that we call upon those in power to redeem the solemn and oft-repeated pledges made to soldiers and sailors dur ing the dark and terrible days of the re bellion. Resolved, That in view of the fact that artificial limbs under ordinary circum stances do not last longer than three S'ears, this Convention heartily endorses 'the proposed action of Congress making an appropriation for an additional arti ficial limb for those honorably discharg ed soldiers and sailors who may make application for the same, and that the Congressional Committee to whom the matter was referred be requested to far ther the project. • Mr. Maken 7 s Eccentricities. James Maken residei in. Manchester, or the Sixth ward, Allegheny. Tames was-at the boat race Saturday and re turned home, in common with every body, disgusted with the fizzle. On the way home so great was his chagrin that he felt compelled to stop at a saloon and take something to calm his nerves. His nerves were very much out of order and he had to stop several times before he reached hi. residence. As a consequence he was full of the boat race and the nerve calmers. While sitting by his fireside a brilliant idea struck him. He would have a race of his own. Acting on this happy thought he gleefully caught up the fire shoiel, and in a facetious man ner suggested to his wife, .la.(hick'wast hie)," at the same time causing the shovel to aescribe a semi-circle in close proxim ity to her ,head. She understood his meaning and "awasted," and his race began. Playfully he folleited'her from room to room of the house, up stairs, down stairs, oat into the yard, and finally into the street, when he was prevented from following her further. Returning to the house, he brooded over his wife's unthoughtfulness in thus depriviug him of his entertainment, and wratofully, concluded to close the doors upon her forever—a decision which he announced to the object of - his wrath from an up stairs window. She lingered around for several hours, hut finding him still obdurate, sought shelter at 'the house of a friend. Yesterday she made a call at the Mayor's office, which result. ed in an official visit to the Maken dwell- ing. Mr.' Maken was found inside and persuaded to exchange his room for ,a cell in the lock up, where ho remained until released last evening upon giving security for his.future good behavior. Local inspectors , Report. In the United States District Court, on Saturday morniag, Judge McCandless on the bench, the Quarterly - Report of. the Board of Local Inanectors of this port was presented as follows: Hon. Wilson McCandless, Judge of the United States Distriet 'Court, Sir: We have the honor to present our official re port for the quarter ending June 30th, 1869. During the quarter we have in-, spected eleven passenger steamers, six: teen towing boats, three freight boats, two ferry boats, and one United States survey boat, making a total of thirty three, having a total tonnage of 8,034 tons. We haVe issued licences to sixty-eight en gineers. and seventy-five pilots. We have examined the condition of a number of steamers and steam boilers. We have ruled out of passenger service the "Grey Eagle" on account of her condition and unfitness as a. passenger steamer. Repairs were ordered on sovral steam ers and on a large number of boilers. We are . pleased to say they were attended to promptly. The boating business in, the aggregate has been large, and the quantity of coal shipped, our great staple, has been unusually large. The number of new steamers built and being construct, ed for the Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio and Southern waters has kept our builders quite busy up to the present time. No ; accident of any consequence has happen ed to any vessel in this district during, the quarter, which fact can be attributed to the efficiency and carefulness of the officers and owners of steamers. All of which is respectfully submitted. GGORGE H. ATKINSON, SAMUEL WALKER, - United States Local Inspectors. Mayor's Morning Court. The Mayor's Morning Court yesterday presented an array of forty visitors, thirty-nine men and one woman," most of whom had looked "upon the wine" or some ,other fluid the evening before. It was their misfortune to be misrepresented. Not one, of- them_ had been arrested for cause. According to , their statements, they were the 'vic tims of official interference and should at once be released. • They are released in an official way, that is those who pro-, vided funds sufficient to liquidate the fines intposed were set at liberty, and the otbors falling in this respect were granted tickets of admission to the man sion on the hill. - • Mortuary Report.

On Saturday. was as favorable an exhi bition of the character as any could have desired. The afternoon was bright and beautiful,. with - a few straggling white zephyr clouds floating across the heav ens. As the Moment approached for the apparent climbing of the sun by the moon t .the former body seemed to have wandered to a clear space where . hardly a cloud was visible, and the exhibition commenced above an audience of many thousands, who were intently looking heavenward through smoked glasses to see all that was to be seen. Prompt to the nicety of a second the moon made her appearance and commenced to disfig ure the face of the sun, proceeding slowly and surely in the performance. The dark shadow became greater and greater till the majestic sun was almost hidden entirely from view, a slim crescent alone remaining to tell of his existence.. The light gradually grew dim as the eclipse progressed, and when it was at its full height the earth was flooded , with those , rich but subdued tinted rays so often observed in the twilight of-Indian sum mer. Altogether the exhibition was highly creditable and enjoyable, and Pittsburgh has no reason to complain of the part of the programme her citizens were permitted to enjoy. No observa tions were trade at the Allegheny ob. servatory inasmuch as all the scientific gentlemen of the Western University faculty had departed for points where a better .view and more valuable notes could be secured. An Unfortunate Nap. Milton Bendel', a resident of McKees port, visited the city on Saturday to see the boat race. For this purpose he took up a commanding ,position on the south bank of the Monongahela, near Haber man's coal tipple. The monotony of thei preparations, which commenced long before the -rowmen made their . appear ance on the water, had a drowsy influ ence upon him, and with the green grass for a mattress. a soft rock for a pillow, the blue sky as a covering, and the great eclipse doing its level best to change day into night, he calmly settled himself to rest and soon was in the land of dreams. Morpheus favored his repose. He dream ed sweetly, snored subduedly and awoke to realize the absence from his garments of a silver watch valued at S5O, a gold Chain, a pocket knife and his pnrae con taining a small sum of money. He sought in vain among the crowd for the kind-hearted friend NV)O had so thought fully taken charge of his property, but the friend could not be found. He gave it up with a changed feeling in regard to boat racing, eclipses, or dozes on the sunny banks of meandering streams, and:profanely pronounces them, one and all, a swindle. , Open Air Exercise. Everybody shbuld have some open air exercise. Nothing will make up for a loss in this respect. The managers of the . Work House understand this principle of health, and have therefore consider ately made arrangements for the visitors who called upon them Saturday with the intention of rusticating for a fortnight or so. As most of the visitors are of the male order, shovels, picks, spades, and similar implements/ have een provided as the most suitable, and to-day they will take their drat exercise in the open air. For the purpose of making their ex ercise one of utility as well as - health, it has been arranged to employ them at leveling off a portion of the grounds so as to have all the enclosure within the walls of a proper grade. Should the weather prove favorable, their exercise will be rendered doubly pleasant by balmy zephyrs, the sweet warblings of birds and the general beauties of nature, for which their visiting place is remark able. _ Supposed Ineendiarism Yesterday morning about ten o'clock some of the neighbors discovered Smoke Issuing from the windows of a large three story brick building on. Vine street, off Pennsylvania avenue. The house has been unoccupied 'since the Ist of April last, and the circumstance ere. ated some surprise. The doors were quickly broken open, when a lire was discovered_ in one of the lower rooms, built in the centre of the floor, apparently with the intention of des• troying the building... A small hole had been burned through ,the floor, and the tames were spreading when they were so opportunely discovered and put out with a few buckets of water. The en gines of the district were called out by an alarm from. box 53, but their services were not required. The fire was evi dently the work of an Incendiary. but wbo the guilty party is has not been ascertained. Died From Ills Injuries. Wo mentioned a few days ago that John Whitely, employed at the Work House, had fallen from a scaffolding. The unfortunate man lingered until Sat urday evening, when death put an end to his suffering.

Five Acres of Earth Carried Six nun dred Feet By Telt grauh to the Pittsburgh GlLZette..l Hunson, N. "Y., August 7.—The town of Stockport, in this county, has been the scene • of considerable excitement this week on account of a gigantic land slide, and thousands have visited the spot. The place Where the phenomenon occurred is located on a post road near the confluence of Ktnderhopk and Clay ernacz, about five miles north of the city. It comprises nearly Aveacres and was on an elevation above a dry ravine. A bill intervenes between this ravine and creek °tithe east and north, of a little less than the altitude of that which caved in. The.crash took place about`half-past six o'clock last Monday afternoon. The movement was gOitittal and the sur face of the earth undulated like the waves of the ocean. No noise was heard until the moving mass struck the base of the intervening bill, when there was a dull; rumbling sound, resembling distant thunder, and a quivering sensa- Lien like the , slight shock of an earth quake. The earth caved In to the dis tance of over eighty feet and the surface, as indicated by trees and fences, moved a distance of over six hundred feet. So gradual was the movement that it occu pied about half an hour, and the sight is described ny those who witnessed it as sublime in the extreme. Among the most marked incidents of the phenomenon is the fact that an oak tree, which stood by the roadside, was moved with a sec tion of the fence to the bottom of the •r avine. a • distance of • six hundred feet, and the treeand fence novt stand' as firm and ' upright as ever. The weaker trees, such as 'pine and hemlock, were snapped as pipe stems and some trees of this nature, two feet or more in diameter, were doubled and • twisted like a. wisp of straw. The land is clay, ' founded on quick sand, with a soil or sitrfac,e of not more thin two feet in thiektess. - It is understood the quick sand has been gradually washed away from: beneath and passed off into the stream. The copious: showers of last spring left the =fat* a mere shell, and the dry weather which followed cansAd this shell to crack and finally fall into the vacuum below. A crevice of several inches in width, five feet in length and deep beyond sounding, has apueared on the land adjoining thesunken po'rtion on the south. Fears are entertained that this will soon fall. POLITICAL. Gen. Rosecrana Declines the Demo cratic Nomination for Governor of Ohio. [By Telegraph to the Pittsburgh Gazette.l '4 ; SAN FRANCISCO, August 7.—General Rosecrans has declined the nomination for Governor of Ohio. He telegraphed Hon. A. G. Thurman, for the Democratic Committee, as follows: "After the war . /resigned a very desirable position in the army, and left my State to secure at least the possibility of fulfilling duties deemed sacred to my creditors and fam ily. These duties forbid me the honor of leading the Democracy of Ohio in the pending canvass for Governor." • Contissus, 0., August B.—Judge Thur man has just received a dispatch from General Rosecrans.
