Yesterday afternoon, the Pittsburgh Teacn;s' Institute commenced its sec ond a ual Session in the Hall orllre Ralston schoolhouse, Penn street. Thanumber in attendance was quite large; for the opening and promised well for the continuance of the sessions. At half past two o'clock. the Institute weir, called to order by Prof. Luckey, City :Superintendent- Miss Jennie Ralston . was appointed Secretary. The organization of the Insti tute was then proceeded t with. Prof. Burt presented a series of rules, which set forth; he object of the institute to be the promotion of a fraternal feeling among the teachers of Pittsburgh, and the auoption of such measures as would tend to better 4ualify them for their duties. Provision was made for perma nent officers of the association, and the holdinit of annual meetings. The asess ments were settled not to exceed five dollars for gentlemen, and twofer ladies, designed annually, which was to defr the expenses of, the Institute in addition to those provided for by the State Laws. The rules, 'as read, were adopted. PERMANENT OFFICERS. Messrs. Hammond, and Stevenson, and Miss Caldwell were appointed a commit tee to nominate permanent officers. After a short absencothe ooninrittee returned and presented the following nomina tions. Vice Presidents, C. A. Kenaster and L. H. Eaton, Secretaries Missr,Ralston and Mr. Harri son. treasurer C. A. Kenaster. Executive Committee, Prof. Andrew . Burt, Ur R. H. Kelley, Miss. Mary Proudfoot. The report was received and the nomi nees unanimously elected. Prof. Luckey made a few remarks upon the object of the Institute in re lation 'to the teachers work. He said the teachers calling was one of great re spensiblity, and those who engaged in it should take every opportunity to im prove and fitly qualify themselves , for its duties: If they wished tolexert a pro. per influence in the community they must honor the profession by faithfully and conscientiously endeavoring to im prove every opportunity for its eleva tion. The teaching of twenty years ago advanced and knowledge was now more general. The teachers responsibili ties and requirements =were consequent thatere more onerous. He noped the object of the Institute in en couraging the toacners of Pittsburgh diffusing a more fraternal spirit among them, and in inaugurating a desire for greater excellence, would be felt in their future progress. The Allegheny Quartette Club, under the leadership of Prof. W. B. Slack, now enlivened the' occasion with a beautiful selection, entitled, "Work for - the night Is coming." DRAWING IN THE scaoOas. A very interesting practical lecture, was next delivered by bates Grace King, of Boston.. The lady stated that her remarks would be merely preperatory to a series of lectures on this important branch of study, which she had been in formed was greatly neglected in the Public Schools of Pittsburgh. She then gave a sketching outline of her method of teaching the beautiful science and closed by stating that in future lectures, the details would be more fully given. Prof. James L. Harrison foilovired in a lecture about half an hour long, on the subject of English Literature, past and mesent. The lecturer mended more more careful studystron of gly this im portant branch of study. on the part of the teachers, as a means of improvement and a source of delight. The lecture was finely written and contained many beautiful thoughts, which commanded the attention of the Institute throughout. Prof. Slack. assisted by the members of the Institute, next sung with.thriiling effect, • "may country 'tie of thee." Prof. Burtt announced that the election of a Committee on Permanent Certificates would take place this morning, every member of the institute being allowed the privilege of voting. Superintendent Luckey stated that the county allowed one dollar for everythree teachers present at the Institute, and urged upon all the most earnest en deavora to secure the attendanceef every teacher. The roll was then called! by the Secre tary, Mr. Harrison. Prof. Burst stated that all friends of education, whether directors, teachers in private or public schools, might be come members of the Institute by en rolling their names and paying the initi ation fee required by the raise. J TEACHES& A discussion next ensued, upon the question, "what should we seek to ac complish by means of the Teachers' In stitute." - Prof. L. B. Eaton opened the discus sion by remarking that Teachers' Insti tutes were beginning to assnme an im portance which in.-former -times they nad not, and in connection with their increasing importance the questions arose, how can they be made more effec tive, what shall 6e their main object. He thought the principal aim of every Institute should be to encourage the teacher, inspire them with a renewed love for their profession, inspire them with improverespect, e . that when such a teacher returned to the school room the influence of the Inad lute would be felt there in greater effi ciency. To carry out this object every one should attend for the purpose of be ing benefitted, and then they would en gage hi the exercises with the proper feelings and the result could not be eatiefactory. Professor Luckey followed and said it had been his lot frequently to hear teach ers complain about attending Institutes. Be had often wondered at thisond upon inquiry among those dissatis fi ed, he die. covered that one reason was urged that the affair was "too dry." In answer to this argument, however, he had never heard one teacher With a proper zeal for the calling or one who had engaged see tively in the exercises, oolnplain that the eXemisesWere net interesting. The affair was in the h teachers themßelves, and they could Make the Institute just what they pleased. It would be afailure if they were not Inter ested. It would be a success if they did their duty. Mr. Kelly said that one reason of the failure of Inistitutes could be directly traced to lectures, remarks, speeches, stled. all of which were forein to the tea y cher's work entirely. If the g Institute was simply a place for the improvement of its members, then those subjects only which bad special reference to their work. should be treated of. Then the Institute could not - fail of success. Brief remarks on the same subject were made by Messrs. Patterson, Harri son and Prof. Burtt, after whibh the dis cuselon closed. Piot .Burtt announced the following hours for the Sessions of the Institute: morning seLelon, from 9 to 11% -o'clock; afternoon somilon, frost" 1% to 4N o'clock; PITTPURGH GAZETTE : TUESDA .. evening Session, fisnis 7% tdii% o'clock. Prof. SlaCk_then sang. -• `The Bice t by and bV." After which the Institute adjourned until 7% o'clock. Eiening Session. Commenced: at the appointed hour. Tne exercises were opened with a mu sical selection by Prof. W. B. Slack, ac companied by the audience, entitled Crown him Lord of all." DISCUSSION BESUNED. Prof. Burt stated it had been decided to postpone the lecture of ReV. Mr. Ev ans until Thursday evening, 'and sub stitute for it a discussion on the question, ' , what can be done to elevate teaching to the rank of the learned professions.' Prof. Burtt opened the aiscussion by stating that the first step in the matter would be to assume that it was such a profession. There was a time when near -15,1311 the now so called learnedlProfess . ions were low in the scale, and only were raised first by an assumption that they were of a higher grade. The as. samiption being taken, it was then necessary- that teachers act worthy of their claims. It thus became a matter with the teacher alone. Another help would be to secure some uniformity in i the method of granting certificates, so that the aspirant would De compelled to put forth intellectual elliart to secure a position, and then when a certificate was I obtained It would be certainly a guaran tee that the . possessor was entitled to some rank in the profession. In ele vating teaching also, a great deal of weeding would: be required. All those [ not q ualified off the list. This alsoshould was abe matter s witivthe teachers themselves. They must de mand ot the C.,un that unqualified persons ty be rigidly Superintendent excluded from -getting certificates. Superintendent Luckey followed in opposition to Prof. Burt, and said that the greatest difficulty in t the matter was that no county or city superintendent wished to sxercise the one.man power, and strike off teachers whom they found in the possession of certificates. Prof. 11. S. Jones, of Erie. said teachers Must not -bow too low. Every teacher should say, "I'll teach, with a polish," and If they did. that they would gain a character, a reputation and rise in the profession. To do this, however, there must be love for the work; behind every action of the brain there! must be a hearty loving impulse. The gentleman continued his remarks for some time in an entertaining manner. The Allegheny Quartette Club sung, .in their , usual excellent style, a ballad entitled . • `There' s beauty In the summer flowers." On motion a Committee on Finance. was appointed consisting of Mr. Andrews, Miss. Manspeaker, auct Miss. Thompson. Mr. R. Kelley, of Lawrenceville con tinued the discussion and dwelt for some time upon the matter of granting certificates, and ng contended that the grade of teachi was much higher than it was 'twenty years ago. Farther re marks were made by Messrs. Burtt, Harrison and Andrews and Superenten dent Luckey, which closed the discus sion. Rev. Wm. Evans next read "Pickwick's 'adventure with a lady MI yellow curl' papers" which was well received and created great merriment. The Allegheny Quartette then favored ' the audience with another eelection, en titled 'Sweet sod low." The Institute 'then adjourned until this morning at nine o'clock. The following is the programme for today: Morning—Arithmetic, J. M. Pryor; 'The Theory and Practice of Teaching, A. Burtt; Gymnastics, W. G. Fox; His tory, Mrs. Anna T. Randall. Afternoon—Arithmetic, Philotus Dean; Common Errors in the Use of Language, Miss Martha Glass; Gymnastics, W. G. Fox; Drawing, Grace King. Evening—Lecture, Rev. Alex. Clark; Discussion.

Goodyear, et. al. vs. Andrew Fisher. a motion for a pre-. limipary injunction was argued, and granted by the Court. In the District Court, Mr. Carnahan, District Attorney, filed a libel against thirty barrels of spirits owned bsi Wm. Smith, of this city. The liquor was seized by Collector .Davis for alleged vio lations of the revenue law. A monition ; was ordered, and made returnable on the Ist day of September next. In the. case of the United States vs. twenty-six barreisof whisky and ten bar rels of brandy, owned by. M. B. Weaver, of Williamsport, an order was issued, decreeing M.

The Clerk was direct ed to pay over to Einstein, from the fund accruing from the sale, *ON 15, and the balance, *1,822 85. to the Collector of the Eighteenth District.

AUGUST 24, 1869. • QUEEEitiiIVARL: I An Old Established Rouse hi a *OW Place—lmported ' and Atatttititi - Queeusware and Wnere to Puttbilee, It ia always a pleasure to us to ygaora the success and prosperity of houses that were established In the iti;, fancy of our city, and have kept steadily growing with it into importance. VoW among the old houses of this city, dating back their origin nearly half a century, have preserved a higher character And reputation than that of Messrs. H. Rigby & Co., who have but recently removed their wholesale and retail salesrosims to No. 189 Liberty street, a few doora abceie Sixth, late St. Clair street. Established in A. D. 1828, it was the pioneer of the particular line of business, known un der the caption of the gueensw,are and crockery trade. True, prior to that period, plates and cups, saucers and chamber sets, were sold in the city; but no house had entered into the business as a marked and exclusive specialty until Mr. 'Rigby, the senior of the present well conducted house, ventured in tho direction. Other houses; followed in the course of time, and to-day the queens ware specialty for ma no unimportant item - in the commercial statistics of the city. It must be a matter of congratulation to Mr. Rigby, who now presides over one of the most elegant as well, as one of the best stocked houses of the character in the city, that through its long biteiness history the house has maintained seams which has never been associated with anything but what was honorable; and" that many of the original customers still bestow their patronage, and their chil dren atter them follow in their example, never having had occasion to change to elsewhere in their dealings. Mr. Albert Higb, the other member , of the firm, brother of the senior, has also been long identified with the firm, and has charge of the active business management, making close study of what is needed by thatrons of the house and osin much care p and lodgment in making his g selec tions. The firm recently obtained possession of the elegant and commodious funrstory brick building at No. 189 Liberty street, and thoroughly refitted it to suit the re quirements of their trade. Exteriorly it presents a very neat and commanding appearance, no tawdry ornamental work or cheap finish about it, but, like its oc c is suppli ed with two ,fine display win- dows which are stocked with attractive articles of gueensware, silver goods, flint glass ware, statuary and ornamental goods. This floor is the chief salesroom for wholesale and retail purchasers, and and in it will be found an almost endless assortment of fine imported wares, an enumeration of which would be ving, on impossi ble here. The casing Shelving either side, is of novel pattern, part orig inal and part adopted, presenting a very chaste appearance. -The counters are of new style known as pyr amids, and are models of beauty, especially when graced with the fine French and English wares upon them. We noticed several French sets direct from Limoges, near Paris, which are sat put together in pieces as- to serve both for tea and dinner sets. The moss rose set on exhibition is especially wor thy of note, being asp retty as any could I desire to grace the boards. There are I other beautiful sets which we might es pecially designate, but those of our read ers interested should call and see and judge for themselves the merits and at tractions of the stock. The -counting room is on this floor, and is arranged with neatness and propriety. The second floor is occupied with a heavy stock of granite and glass ware, while the third floor contains common goods and yellow crockery. The basement has be e ne floored and is kept dry and clean. is here that the goods in original crates are kept, and we found a large number awaiting opening which had just arrived. The basement is suplied with a le bathtubatent heating furna p ce, a fine and range for supplying hot and cold water throughout the building. The goods of the firm are received, packed and shipped from the roar of the salesrooms , by way of an alley, and in order to es cape the dust and dirt the shipping de pa rtm vid ent, from basement to fourth floor, is proed with doors and partitione, by means of which all communication is shut off with the main body of the build ing. The advantage of this iated modern idea will be ' fully apprec by those who know how much annoyance and damage to goods is caused by the dirt and' ust which float in the ai and settle in d everything in the apart r ments while crates are being filled or emptied. On the whole the new house of the firm is a splendid one and could not well be better adapted to its pave ur poses. The firm propose, as they h uniformly heretofore done, to keep a large and judiciously assorted stuck or goods on hand wherewith to supply their , wholesale and retail customers. They are content with reasonable profits, and makin no false representations in auy directio g n, confidently relying on still re ceiving that generous share of patronage hitherto awarded them by a discri formtheinam t ing community, and we hope such a large share of trade in their new place as is warranted by their enterprise and faikdealing. Last his Pocket Book. - Mr. Boyd, a merchant from Six Mile Ferry, while in the dity on business yes terday morning lost his pocket book con taining ninety five dollars. In the Dia mond near where the pocket book was lost, Mr. Jacob Dingier who was employ ed in a-store near at band, states that he saw Mr. Martin, a young man from Turtle Creek, pick up a pocket book in the street. In justice to Mr. Martin we will state that •he was arrested and thornughly searched but no pocket book answering the disoription of the one lost was found in his possessions.

Pathology. .....“tfrostamPlataboroleJletlioat.lftwaa In a person whose growth is.stationary the qUantity of food passing into the body in a given time is exactly , equiva lent to the quantity of.matter passing sway in the various excretions. The whole of the food is dissolved in the body, and the greater portion 'is ab sorbed ititO the blood to renew the is. sues, the nourishment of the body being dependent upon this quality of the blood. A rich blood favors nutrition and growth, vsbilst a diseased quality of blood depresses and destroys that which is already formed. . Whilst the blood thus gives out to each organ or part of the body-the meanswith of repairing itself, bY furnishing it material of growth, it at the same time washes away, as it were, whatever ele ments of their tissues that have become diseased, worn out or useless. These are passed off in the excretions, and in healthy adults exactly correspond in amount with the quantity of food taken. Whim the body becomes diseased the urinary excretion gives out these dis eased particles in excess while the de cline of the body is going on. _ The same when any organ or part of the body only becomes diseased ;"the urinary excretion gives out an excess of i e diseased particles from thatyart, when a decay of.tha organ is going on. • • These Uri o-PatholOgical facts are so apparent, es cially in chronic diseases, that every p ysician having the welfare of his patient at heart should, in pre scribing remedies, watch their influence upon theurine, and persevere in that par ticular remedy which produces the most healthy condition. of that- fluid, for it points ,out with certainty the changes made in the condition of any and every organ of the body. These urine-chem. icaJ investigations have been our con stant practice' for more than twenty years. And we would jast say, that they have revealed to us the existence of many serious diseases long before other modes of ,investigation had been able to indicate them, and have throWn a flood of light upon the cause, progress and treatment of many chronic diseases which would otherwise nave been involved in much obscurity at least, and never have been cured without. perhaps Readers, if any of you have incipient Consumption. organic disease of the Liver, Kidneys or Spleen, Heart Disease, Dyspepsia, Asthma, Dropsy or Scrofula; or should your complaint be at all ob scure in its caracter, or should you be in any doub h as to the true cause of a de• dine in your health, or of the aches, pains, • derangements, difficulties, and weaknesses under which you may be la boring unto decay, have the examination bolentifically made, and secure the rem edies thus scientificallL. 011 y prescribed. LDSVE, Y. D. Damage . by Lightning in Washington County. The barn, stable, corn crib and spring house of Thos. M. Patterson, an exten sive farmer residing in Cross township, Washington couxty,. rven . miles southeast d of by Burgettstoon wii, were totally destroye tire Saturday evening last. The stable was struck by lightning and the other buildings took lire from it. The buildings, except the barn, were erected within two years, and the barn was very large. Mr. Patterson, who, with another person, was in the stabe when it was struck, is suffering considerable pain from the shock. No horses were lost, but everything else was burnt that would be on a first class farm, from a mowing machine to a hay fork, three buggies, one spring wagon, and the larger portion of his wool, hay, grain, etc. There were no rods on the building. Loss from eight to ten thousand dollars. Leaves for Europe. Thomas Costarnagna, Esq., late of the Steubenville Herald, and formerly busi miss manager of the GAZETTE under its previous ownership, a gentlettan widely known and esteemed in the general bu siness community. will leave New York today for Turin,ltaly, whither he goes to settle the estate of his father, an emi nent banker of that city, who recently died. Mr. Costamagna will go by way of London and Paris, and promises to furnish the readers of the GAZETTE with \, sketches by the wayside from his grace- he ful and relined pen, a task for which is admirably fitted, as he is a linguist of ability, being able to converse in nearly all the polite languages spokenin Europe. and thus will be enabled to gather much interesting matter and goss' n which would escape the ordinary traveler. We wish him a safe journey and speedy re turn to our own city where he leaves so many friends and acquaintances. --- The Stabbing Affray. v'Oar readers Twil l remember the paitin niers of the stabbing affray which occur red in Reserve township a few days ago. Conrad Batmessler, the man accused of the stabbing, was arrested and jailed; but managed to secure bail which pro cured his release Saturday. Forthwith he, in turn, instituted proceedings before Alderman Koenig against his accusers, . 1 Geo.
