In this elegantly fitted educational establishment. Hasty Action.—Sometimes people are in baste to perform actions for which they repent at lesuire, as for Instance: Yesterday Samuel Hays made informa tion against the proprietor I.of a public house on Diamond street, for assault and battery, allegging that he had, while in a lit of intoxica tion, kicked him oat of the house. A hear ing was had in the case, but the prosecti. tor failed to prove his charges and the accused was set at liberty. Hay's repent ance came when he was compelled to pay the. costs. Careless Driving.—Last evening about five o'clodk, a woman with a child in her arms, who had just stepped off a car at the corner ,of Fifth avenue and Smith- field street, was knocked down and run over by a buggy, which was being —rapidly driven past by ttvo fast young chaps, who had no fear of the law or the police before- their eyes. The woman and child escaped serious injuries, the" former receiving only a few scratches on the face. The police were not about at the time, else the city revenue might have been increased slightly.

The Second Ward Marching Phalanx of the Geary Republican Club met but evening at headquarters, No. 66 Smith field street, tbr the purpose of thoroughly reorganizing for the present campaign. The meeting organized by calling Mr. Simon Strome to the chair. On accept . ing the honor, Mr. &rouse wade a brief and pointed speech, In-which be urged the active young Republicans to again be first in the political field to do good ser vice for the cause of Geary, Williams, and the entire county ticket put forward. Capt. T. H. Phelps announced th,ft he bad received an invitation for the club to act as an escort of honor to Senator O. P. Morton; of. Indiana, from the Mo nongahela House to 'City Hall, on Tues. day evening' eat, on the occasion of the grand Republican meeting. The gentle man stated that whale had been secured, and that the gun squad were in' com plete organization • and would fire one hundred rounds as a salute of hopor on the reception of the distinguished orator and statesman. A committee consisting of Meshrs. T. H. Phelps, John F. Hunter and Wilson Steiner, was appointed to complete all arrangements for the reception and pa rade. . • After able and patriotic addresses from Thomas Steel, Esq., Collector of the Port, S. F. Keeler, Esq. and others, the Club adjourned with three rousing cheers for Geary, Williams and the county ticket. Another meeting will be held at the same place to-night, when a book for the en rollment of marching members for the campaign will [ be opened. What ward will follow the old Second in the work of reorganization for the present ttanvast? e mercury Darkness is much more favorable for thieving excursions than daylight. It is generally unsafe to enter houses; while the sun is up,cin such evil designs in tent, and often thedepredator comes sud denly to grief. It happened SO yesterday to Charles Fincke, who had just arrived in this vicinity from the South and com menced operations. He selected the res idence of Mr. Isaac Mills, Jr., at Brad. dock's Fields, as a base. Entering the house by one of the upper windows, he succeeded in moving about so quietly that none of the inmates, engaged in the lower rooms,, knew of his presence. Having secured him plunder he made his egress out ofthe same window and chuck led to himself at the success attending his efforts. His joy was of abort duration. Mr. Mills happentid to be driving in front of the house at that histant, and observing the chap emerging _from the window, immediately gave chase, and alter a short run succeeded in capturing him. The fellow shook . with fear, and dropped a gold watch and a broadcloth suit of clothing valued at $7O, which he had taken. Mi. Mills brought his man into the city and made informatton against him before Alderman Mclfasters for lar ceny. He was , immediately committed . _ to jail for a hearing. He expressed him. self as well - satisfied with the turn af fairs had taken, as be felt better pleased to be sent in jail than to have his liberty and starve. • The Coming Theatrical Season. ' The Fall and Winter Season of the Opera House will commence one week from next Monday evening, under the very excellent managership of our popu lar amusement caterer, Mr. Matt Can ning. The stock company has been se lected with much good care, and will compare favorably with any that has ever graced the boards in this city. The management has thus far made arrange monis for the appearance. in succession, of tho following well-known troupes: Worrell Sisters, Lydia Thompson, Richlna's Opera, and the Morleech' Pan tominlsts. Among the stars will ap pear Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams, John E. Owens, Edwin Forrest, Lef well, Lucille Western. Miss Mar Lott, John Brougham, John Emmett, Maggie Mitchell, Joseph Jefferson, Lotta, Mrs. D. P. Bowers, F. S. Chanfrau, Joseph Proctor, Mary Mitchell and J. Albangh. Nogotiationeare going forward for other first-class stars and troupes, so that we can confidently look forward for a biight array of talent and a brilliant sea son for 1869-70. On Wednesday last Collector Davis and the tobacco inspector discovered a quantity of tobacco in this city, upon which the revenue tax had not been paid, although it appeared to bear all the required brands and stamps, the latter, however, being counterfeit. Twenty boxes bearing these stamps were found in Allegheny City, and about twice that number at two houses in this city, all of which had been shipped for R. M.- Dob son & Co., Cincinnati. The boxes also bore the brand of a Philadelphia house, which, however, it is thought, had been put upon them to aid in concealing the fraud. The stamps are said to be well executed, and well calculated to deceive. We are informed, not officially. how ever, that Collector Davis telegraphed to Cincinnati and had the shipper of the to bacco arrested. We were unable to ob tain further particulars. A more Interesting`occasion is seldom witnessed, than was that which occurred Lathe ball of the , Fourth ward school house last evening. The members of the Reformed Presbyterian congregation (0. S.); Rev. A. M. Milligan, met in the above-named hall for the purpose of pre senting their pastor with a horse and barouche. The presentation speech was made by Prof. J. R. Newell, who seemed in his happiest mood and whose remarks were highly interesting. The pastbr re plied in a feeling manner, which con veyed to his people his appreciation of their kinpness. Seeciles were made / by Prof. Sloan of the Reformed Presbyterian Seminary, Prof. L A. Macnim and ethers. Seldom have we seen such good /feeling manifested by any ,people. and we take it as an evidence of Mr. Milligan's us >- fulness to the people among whom he labors. ' We have been requested to announce the reopening of t his School for Young Ladles and Misses, at Nos. 10, 12, and 14 Sixth street, late St. Obdr, on Monday, September 6th; also that tne Principal, Mrs. 13.,A.

Pittsburgh Female College—Flne line' provements—Locatlon-Facalty—Conrse or Study—Patronage, am ' As the time is at hand when parents are inquiring for suitable schools for their daughters, we can do many , of our readers no better service than by calling their attention to our own well establish ed and well conducted institution-the Pittsburgh Female College. Many per.l, sons are disposed to overlook home in stitutions of every kind, (though they always expect home patronage of course,) and in ninety-nine cases out of every, hundred, "go farther and fare worse. "Seeing is believing," but very many never look for themselves. There are not a few citizens of Washington who' have never seen the National Monument or visited Arington Heights. Even in so important a matter as the education of their children, a matter intimately linked with, their future happiness and usefulness, there is often a most repre,J, hensible neglect. The child is handed over to the first applicant, and the most ,impertinent is too often the least worthy who may chance to apply No regard is had to the facilities ' Afforded for that thorough and varied culture which the present age demands-a, a culture which can be secured only where the requisite facilities exist. Every intelligent man will grant the ne cessity for a desire of labor in the manu facture of the most imignificataartiOlea. The highest , perfection can be secured only where such desire of labor exists. And yet in a matter of so great import ance as thorough mental culture, how Many are there who send their children to small schools, and often at heavy expense, where less than a half dozen teachers are expected to give all the ire struction in those various branches of a solid and ornamental education which require at least three times theinumber. The error is too often seen when too late to remedy it. But little more time is required tocom 'plete a course 'of study in a first-clam school than in one of lower grade. Pa... rents owe it to themselves, and their chil-n dren as well, to make themselves tie! quainted witn'the school they patronize. - To those who have daughters to educate we earnestly reeomMend a visit to our own sterling institution, the Pittsburgh Female. College. For months past work men have been busily employed in refitting the large and commodious buildings. There is an air of comfort and elegance about them rarely found, even in schools for ladies. Thi\unprove ments have been continued from year to year, until it is difficult to iconceive of anything yet to be done. Beautiful car pets, 01l cloths and mattings cover every floor. No part has been overlooked, and the buildings, as a whole, are unequalled by, any in the State. • • LOCATION. Scarcely less important than good buildings is a good location. In this the College is peculiarly fortunate. No equally favorable location can be found in or about these cities. Its near prox imity to the Allegheny river, insures an abundance of fresh sir, and, midway as it is between the two principal Midges, it is almost equally accessible to persons on both sides of tae river. The termini of all the railroads, a dozen of the prin cipal churches, the new building of the Mercantile Library Association, and, in deed, all the Important centres of the city, are withiu a few minutes' walk of the College. And yet, with all these ad vantages, Eighth street is almost as quiet as the streets of a country village., Its clean, shaded sidewalks afford a delight ful promenade, and parents will not fail to appreciate its exemption from the noise and danger incident to the more public and crowded thoroughfaree. FACULTY. The crowning excellence of t l e Col lege, however, is its unusuall large corps of teachers. In this it has b i t few rivals. Twenty-two teachers are em ployed in the different departments. Fourteen of them reside in the building and constantly mingle with the pupils. Eighteen of the former teachers were retained for the coming year, 'and four new ones elected. Miss Agnes C. Way, a graduate of the School of Dasign, takes charge of the Drawing and Painti ng De partment, and Miss Bullard, of Glen's Falls. N. Y., Miss Latimer, °fillaches *, N. Y. and Miss Woolston, of New Jersey, fill vacancies in the I Literary Department. These ladles come with the highest recommendations from lead ing educators for culture and experience and ability in their profession. The greatest care is always taken in the selection of teachers, and the highest compliment that can be paid the College is the fact that its teachers have hoe eagerly sought for here, and by Easter n schools. , 1 COURSE OF erunf. The course of study is thorough and selected with great care. The ample ao. cotrimodations of the Collegei and the large Faculty employed, enable the Trustees to accommodate those who de sire a full or partial course In the solid or ornamental branches: In addition to the departments for all " the ornamental branches, such as vocal and instrumental, music, drawing and , painting, needle work and wax-work, &a. the literary course is divided into 'Pridary, Prepara tory and Collegiate departments, so'as to accommodate younger and more ad vanced pupils. Every room and depart ment has its special teacher, and hence while pupils have all the advantages of a small private school, thoy / fiave the ad. ditional and greater advantage of a di. yision of labor. PATRONAGE. For ten years past the College has had a large patronage,inot only from hun- dreds of our best citizens, but also from many of the best citizens Of this and other - states. /The College has secured the conildenbe of its patrons by the thoroughness of its system of teaching, the careftil supervision of all its pupils, and the' earnest e ff orts made for their moral and mental culture. The examin ations at the close of each term are not only public, but conducted more or , less fj teachersltoteoanexted with the linstiew /tton. We Cannot close without 'once more urging our readers to visit the College, now open for the inspection of visitors, and make themselves acquainted with 'its acivmmodatione, facilities and claims on their patronage. We feel well assured that those who do will endorse what we have written. and feel a becoming pride in the fact that Pittsburgh has the lead ing institution of the kind in the State, and the queen Of western female colleges. Narrow Escape. About live o'clock last evening a fright fal accident occurred at the Young Men's Library Sall building on Penn street, which fortunately was not attended with any serious oonsequences. Mt. Lindsey, a brickmason, was working at the oor• nice on Ithe top scaffoßllng, upon which were several of the cornice stones, the combined Weight of which broke the scaffolding, camping it to fall. Mr. Lind sey, finding the scaffolding giving away, caught on top of the wall- by hit hands, where he hung. suspended between heav en and earth, for two or three minutes, until one of , his fellow-workmen" passed along the wall and 'assisted _him to get on top of it, thus relieving him from his perilous situation.

Dunseath, the jeweler, No. 56 Fifth avenue, has taken a forward step in the lead of his competitors this season, by just receiving a fresh and large invoice of new watches, clocks and jewelry of all descriptions, which he purchased at especially cheap prices, be ing in advance of the regular buying season. The selection now offered Is customers is one of the very finest he has ever offered, and that every one knows is saying a good deal, as the goods of this house has long been regarded as unsur passed in quality and variety. Attention is particularly directed to sets of tine jewelry, elegant gold and silver watches, charms and ornaments. We trust none of our readers will Jail to be present at the opening of new goods, as Mr. Dan- Beath proposes to sell at very low prices. thuasharing the advantages he secured by his early purchases with his friends and patrons. New Goode—New Stye. W. Hespenheid & Co., Merchant Tail ors, No. 50 Sixth street, formerly St. Clair, desire us to Inform their nutiier ous customers, and all others wishing anything in their line, that now is the time to call and select their goOds. Mr. Hespenhied, the senior member of the firm, has Just returned from New York with as handsome a stock, as well as a large variety, as has been opened in this city for years. Their stock com prises all the latest style goods, and' will be made with infinite great care, and warranted to fit and please. This house sells as cheap as any glod house in the city, if not cheaper. We bespeak for Hespenhied & Co. a large fall trade, knowing they sell nothing but good goods, and are always successful in fit ting and pleasing their patrons. Tobacco. Tobacco is a native American plant of the genus Nicotine. As a medicine it is a narcotic. It is much used, however, for chewing and smoking, and to all persons using it in this form we have a word to speak. John Megraw, Tobacconist, No. 45 Hand street, has on hand one of the largest stocks of chew ingand smoking tobacco, cigars, foreign and domestic, ' scuffs etc., ever broug htto this market, which he is selling at ery reasonable prices. His stock comp lass all the best brands of chewing toba o, including the celebrated Louisville avy, Lynchburg Twist and Virginia Cavendish, all of which are held In high favor by tobacco chewers, while smokers speak in the highest terms of his splendid Havanas, and Yaras, as well as of his common cigars. The Boute c trd. Messrs. McCowan ~ 65 Ohio street, Allegheny, are now prepared to fill all orders for the laying of this durable and beautiful pavement. It is specially adapted for sidewahts, inside yards, ,cel lars, drives, ito., and is warranted to withstand the changes of heat and cold in the weather. Being leveled off smooth almost as marble, when com pleted, it forms one of the handsomest sidewalks which can, be laid, while its durability and cheapness commend it in preference to other styles. Although it is but a recent patent. the testa to which it has been subjected amply substantiate its general excellence and superiority. We advise those wishing to have good pave ments laid around their properties to ex amine the Boulevard. Who Snorts! . , A purchase of crockery ware was ef. fected in Allegheny on Sunday morning ,La considerable variety to replace a like quantity broken the night before by a business man of Allegheny while in an abnoimal condition, which condition arose, or betel remotely, from some dis- tillery. Much curiosity is felt to know who should be the plaintiff vs. the die tillery in a snit for damages,and who violated the Sunday law in iling the crockery? Fruit Jars;—One of the most impor tant requisites in preserving (rails is a supply of the proper kind of preserving jars. The fruits may be preserved in the most'eareful manner, but if the recap. tacle in which it is placed' be' not 'perfect the labor and expense will be in vain. Messrs. S. M. Kier & Co., 363 Liberty street, have a large assortment on hand, which are guaranteed to be just what is needed.' "The iliSfe Deposit Company , of Pitts burgh,' will be open for business on Wednesday, September Ist, 1869. On Monday' and Tuesday, August 80th and 81st,, the building and vaults will be , open fur visitors. The publics generally are invited to call and examine the in ititution. S. P. VON BON*HORST, Secretary and Treasurer. Onelof the best evidences of the supe riority of blarvin's crackers is the fact that every grocer keeps them on sale.

New It brk areas. On Monday this establishment will commence Ls exhibitions in Allegheny City, and, from the high character given to the troupe by the press in all direc tions, it is reasonable to anticipate from its performances something altogether superior to the usual routine of circus entertainments. Its high standing in New York is vonched for by the moa influential journals of that city, and the entertainments given during the travel ing season are said t to be in all respects equal to those which have given the es tablishment its great popularity at home. The Boston .Adverffser; in noticing the exhibitions of the New York Circus, says: “Let our readers go to see these performers from the great metropolis, and wo think a majority of them will see how it is possible to be enthusiastic about a circus. Moreover, the entertain ment is,ln every respect, unexception able in point of refinement and pro priety, and no pater-familia-I need be afraid to take his wife or the little folks to see it. Of the equestrian and gym nastic performances we can speak in the highest praise. cknuortionists and pos turing men, trained horses and dogs, they who whirl upon the horizontal bar and those who leap and ride—all are the best. it is pleasant also to see how com plete Mr. Lent's establishment appears to be throughout. The horses are all plump and lively, not a single quad ruped that gallops on the tan having that starved and meagre aspect so com mon in ordinary circuses, and which provoltes the inquiry from countrymen, how albon the crows are expected to fore close their mortgage on the animals." The. Life Insurance Question. Some of the more intelligent and can did life insurance agents doing business in this city, who thoroughly understand the system of our home company, the Co-operative, admit its greater sim plicity, equity gnd inherent strength as compared with the ordinary plans, brit recommend the companies in whose ser vice they are employed, and it is quite right and altogether natural that they should do so. Others, probably less thoroughly informed, and possibly less candid, occasionally misrepresent the "Co-Operative." This may be quite lzatural, but it is not altogether right. All who wish to speak understandingly are invited to cull at the Company's office, 128 Smithfield street, and get full information on the subject. The Reason PVny Series. John W. Pittock, opposite the Postof fice, has just received a new supply and is prepared to furnish complete sets of this valuable series of works, which has attained such popularity in England that the sale has already reached considerably more than ONE MILLION VOLUMES.
