M. Brown, Esq., counsel for defendants,
moved to quash the indictment. Mr.
Swartswelder said that he had no objec
tions to having the bill quashed, but
the reasons assigned therefor were not
sufficient. There were various reasons,
•
- however, why he would not object to the
motion to quash. The bill was quashed.
The next case taken up was that of the

Alderman Neillie, who gave jurig
p3ent for the plaintiff in the sum of $1.150.
At this trial the defendant in
this . case Patrick Markey, it is alleg
ed, testified to leaving the boots at Mr.
Coffin's store, which fact Mr. Coffin al
leges was false and untrue. The jury re
turned a verdict of guilty, and reccom
mended the prisoner to the mercy of
the Court. Mr. Morrison, counsel for
the defendant, filed exceptions to the
range of the Court and moved for a
new trial.
District Attorney Pearson asked for a
rule on Alderman _Edward Lynch to
show cause why informations in his of
fice have not been returned. Rule
granted and made returnable forthwith.

a pocket knife. The larceny was Com
mitted while the prosecutor was asleep
in a hotel in Allegheny. The money
was found in the possession of the, de
fendant when srre.sted and the watch

Suit Agalust SteamboaUzien.
At St. Louis a suit has been commenc
ed by one Frank Mooney, against Geo.
J. Hazlett, T. W. Bedard and Hiram H.
Hazlett, owners of the steamboat "Flirt,"
of which G. J. Hazlett was Captain and
John Garrett, Mate, for damages In the
rum of e 5,000. He represents that in
April last he entered into an agreement
with the parties named for a trip-up the
Missouri to Fort Benton and return, was
to receive forty-five dollars per month as
consideration for his services; that he
performed the terms of the contract, but
that defendanfs, when the steamer was
ninety miles from Fort Buford, refused
to carry him further on the boat, and
left him on an island in the Missouri
river, wounded and sick, by which his
life was endangered and his health im
paired, the country being only inhabited
by hostile Indians.
Information of the case was conveyed
to Commissioner • Davis, at St. Louis, by
a note from Fort Buford; Dacota Terri
tory, the purport of which was:
Frank Mooney, of St. Louis. haying en
tered upon the duties of beak hand on
the steamer Flirt, Capt. Hazlett: bound
up the Missouri river, for the mountain
trade, -received received from the hands of the
Mate, John Garrett, of Pittsburgh, on
said • steamer Flirt, injuries, by the
striking of the -lead used on all the
steamers ascertaining the depth of water,
on the bead; also from the discharge of
a pistol, a wound in the month; He was
left ashore in a hplittle Indian country,
without food or fire-arena for his protec
tion. He was captured by a party of hos
tile Indians, who threatened his lifh, and
was tied up by them to a tree three hours.
A council of war was held, and had It not
been for the interceding of the warriors'
squaws and- the wounds he received he
would'bave lost his life. 'They took all
of his clothing and left him on the
plains. The steamer Tammy Picked him
up on the banks of the Missouri river, in
a famishing and dying condition, and he
was placed in a hospital under treat

The Man had a gold ring on his finger,
and the Sioux Indiana, in order to get
the ring, girdled thetlnger with a knife
and pulled the akin off the finger, the
same as they would skin a Squirrel. The
scars on the man seem to corroborate his
statements. ' .

Gen. Kegley very kindly telegraphed
to General Sherman. asking for the use of

Yesterday the following reply was re

Gen. .1. S. Negley:—Telegram received:
A detachment will be ordered frow Alle
gheny Arsenal to unite in the Humboldt
Celebration, and fire such salutes as you
may desire. W. T. SIIERMAN,
General.
A Committee consisting of Messrs.
Charles Mwyran, August Harble and Dr.
Meinertelagen was appointed to tele.
graph to General Grant and suite, invit
ing him to attend the festival at Mill.
vale to-day, and to co-operate with the
Committee of Reception. It is thought
that very probably the General will ac
cept. •
In consideration of the double impor
tance of to-day, as the anniversary of
Humboldt's birth, and as bringing the
President of our choice to our city, we
once more urge the propriety of every
one owning a flag, putting it out. If the
weather is as good to-day as it was yes
terday, we may well look for, such a
demonstration as we have never before
bad, excepting for political purposes.
A special meeting of the Allegheny
Councils was held last evening, at which
a Committee (noted elsewhere) •was ap
pointed to receive and tender the hospi-.
talities of the city to General Grant.
The Councils also resolved to partici
pate in a body in the Humboldt Centen
nial services. For this purpose they will
assemble in carriages at City Hall, this
morning at eight o'clock, from whence
they will proceed in carriages to join the
procession.
The badges which are necessary to be
worn in order to secure pasasage to and
from and entrance to th 4 picnic can be
procured at Turner's all,. on Sixth
avenue, either singly or in large num
bers for companies or societies. It would
be well to procure them+, if possible, be
fore going to the laying of the corner
stone, in order to avoid confusion at the
cars. ' -
The Coucert.
Since the &roger%Festival of 1848 Pitts
burgh has not since had a more fashion
able or appreciative audience and a better
house listening to home artists than last
evening at the Academy of Music. Mrs.
Mellor and Miss Rinehart never sang
more 13Weel iv in any nrevious concert in
their duet ..Quis est Homo."
The chorus “On the Open Sea;" by the
combined singing societies, was rendered
in manner far exceeding anything evor
produced In Pittsburgh by our singing
societies. For the first time these-socie
ties have shown the beauty and full
power of four part wale voices. Special
mention should be made of the rendition
of the solo part of Mr. Louis Brecht in
this chorus.
The classic athletics represented by the
Turners, shows that society to be in a
flourishing condition. Their perform.
ances will testify with what care the pu
pils of that Institution are trained. We
can well imagine the labors of the in
structors, before young men can devel
opo such muscular strength and agility
—Mr. Konrad, the instructor, merits the
thanks of all admirers of this manly art.
The Turner society is equallytup td the
highest expectation for the grouping of
tableaux vivant.
The climax of the singing was the
Quartette Rigoletto, by Mrs. Mellor, Miss
Rinehart, Mr. Paul Zimmerman and Mr.
Edwards.
The second chorus of the singing Boole.
ties, ,although well rendered, did not
come up to the expectation of the admir
ers of male choruses. The piece did not
make that favorable Impression it should
have done—a lively chorus - would have
suited better for the occasion.'while this
piece belongs more property? the char
acter of sacred music..
Taken altogether, the concert was a
complete success, as near as. possible ar
tistically.and financially.
Distressing.
Mention was made alew - days ago of the
sudden disappearance of Bechtold Fisher,
aged fifteen Yews. 'from his residence
No. 87 Spring Garden avenue, Alleghe
ny. The lad it seems left home on ac
count of some restraint to which he was
subjected, and - has ails far eluded the
most vigilant search, although it is Sur
mised he is not far away, having no
money with him at the time he disap
peared. .His mother became very anx
ious and troubled about the matter, so
much so, that her mind finally became
affected. and it Was found necessary to
convey her to an Asylum. She laoors
under the impression that ho has been
killed and calla his name incessantly, in
a very affecting manner.
Estlipept Prisoner,.
On Sunday, three prisoners confined
at the office of Deputy Mayor Cart
wright, at East _ Liberty, made their
escape. They bad been arrested on
charges of drunkenness and disorderly
conduct, , and were awaiting a hearing.
Bit theydidn't wait. The police Com
mittee of Councils should lose no time
in providing a secure lockup for the East
Liberty_ district. The large number or
Iv /eats wade py, the efficient police on
duty out there demands it.

Sir: As the Excise Law's, so far as they
relate to stamps on "canned meats, (&c.,"

in their respective divisions and fully
post them as to the requirements of the
law. I beg to quote from series 6, No.

liable to stamp duty, viz.: "For and upon
every can, bottle or other single package
containing fish, sauces, syrups, prepared
mustard, jam or jellies, contained there

"The private stamp must be so affixed

recovered and started to run away. The
gentleman's foot having caught In one
of the stirrups he was dragged some dis
tance and received several kicks from

he will recover. We could not ascertain

Experlenctd
And impartial Judges are ever ready to
admit that as a piece, of faultless mechan
ism the New Weed "Family Favorite"
Sewing Machine has no superior among
any, and no rival among shuttle ma
chines. To this essential fact, as well as
to its remarkable working qualities,
may be attributed its astonishingly un
precedented sale in this vicinity over its
competitors, who have been in the geld
for a long time, and boast of their datage
of a respectable aggregate of sales ex
tending through a period of fifteen years.
The "Famll Favorite" is but a little
over a year old, and yet we assert today,
with the most unaffected modesty and
sincerity, that its' sales in this vicinity
far exceed - those of any other machine
before the public. Such facts need no
comment. Tho agency is at 116 Market
street.
