Haney. She is charged with threatening
to pat an end to the existence of Priscilla
Moore. Priscilla became alarmed and
sought Alderman Taylor's legal safety.
The Alderman issued a warrant for the
arrest of Julia.

An Elegant. :Time notioe
'of the Pittsburgh Female College which
elsewhere "appears this morning, we fail
ed to obseriPb . that; the Institution has j ust
been supplied - with one of the finest time
r pieces ever brought - to the city, both re
garding its machinery and furniture. It
was Impitirfeid direct from Vienna, Eu
rope, for the College by the well.known
Market street jewelry house of J. B. Mc-
Ftvidenik Co. and is not the least Attract-
lye piece of furniture. 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.

Darkness is much more favorable for

to Charles Fincke, who had just arrived

very excellent managership of our popu

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

Reformed Presbyterian congregation (0.

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

EDUCATIONAL.
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...

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.

step in the lead of his competitors this

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

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,

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

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

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. Each
work is, in fact, a practical Encyclopedia
of the subjects indicated by the titles. A.
vast fund of valuable information, em
bracing every subject of interest or util

nominal cost. The majority of the vol
!pies are illustrated, and to each iS•ap•
nded a complete Index of its contents.

ralely.

firrxEns will prevent, overcome and
counteract all these effects. They act
with unerring power, and are taken with
the pleasure of a beverage,
