RESIGNATION AND AEPOINTHENT.—SeveraI days

B. Hutchinson, of the Fifth Ward of this city,
was appointed for the unexpired term.

went into the yiiii*otander the Tutted
talc became Hotel, becae ewhat obfusticated,
and whilst there was robbabf his pocket-book,
containing near a hundre..irtollars. Suspicion
attaches to a couple of genteel looking loafers,
who were in the cellar at the time, one of
which in believed to be a professional pick

investigation by the Chief of Police.

awaiting no owner. Officer Radabaugh received
a clapatch from Hummelstown, went to Wag
ner's, and the horse and buggy answering the
description telegraphed back to Hummelstown,
when the owner took the team back to Read
ing. The supposed thief is described to be a
young man about 21 or 22 years of age, wore
a black eldhch bat, pilot cloth coat and carried
one of his arms in a sling. This was supposed
to be a sham. He was the only person seen
loitering about Hummelstown that night.

ATIVEST or a Busorara.—An attentive corres
pondent at Berrysburg informs us that last Mon
day morning, upon the oath of Benjamin D.
Rigel, a man about 45 years of age, apparently
near-sighted, wearing spectacles, and about 5
feet 10 inches high, was arrested by constable.
Dribler and brought bilibre A.l ) . Lark, Fol., of
Berrysburg, charged with having robbed the
United Brethren church in Mifflin township, of
some 14 bibles and 6 hymn books, belonging
to said township. The stolen property was
found in his possession, together with a large
lot of burglars' tools, such as files of every de
scription, keys, knives and a variety of other
things tending or t elonging to that profession.
Besides the books taken from that church, he
also had in his possession a lot of school books,
partly worn, In One of which was the name of
J. C. Miller. In default of bail he was sentto
the Dauphin county Institute,in Walnut street,
Harrisburg. The burgle; gives his name as
John Hamilton, and says he hails from New

GRANTLIG PAIDOBS. —We call the attention
of those who intend to apply to the Governor
for pardons, to the following extract from his
Inaugural address. - Every unbiased mind will
approve of the idea that the public, who are
deeply interested in the granting of pardons,
should be acquainted with all applications of
the kind, and if that course be pursued the
Governor will not be so easily imposed upon.
Let them all be treated alike, rich or poor, and
the public will have no reaso l n to complain if
the Governor, In tho kindness of his heart,
should grant mercy to criminals who aro un
worthy of them. Read the extract :
"The pardoning power is one of the most
important and delicate powers conferred upon
the Chief Magistrate by the Consiitation, and
it should always be exercised with great cau
tion, and never except on the most conclusive
evidence that it is due to the condemned, and
that the public security will not be prejudiced
by the act. When such applications are pre
sented to the Executive, it Is due to society, to
the administration of justice, and to all in
terested, that public notice should be given.
By the adoption of such a regulation imposition
will be prevented and just efforts will be
strength '

HEAVY ROBBERY At Prersarrao.—The dry
goods store of W. Frank was entered on Tues
day night, and goods to the amount of $B,OOO
carried off. The robbery appears to have been
planned with consummate skill, and executed
with unwonted coolness. After entering the
cellar, access to which was had by prying open
a door in the rear of the building, the thieves
bored a piece out of the trip door, which ena
bled them to remove the bolts and open it at
pleasure. In this way they gained access to
the store. It is not known what time they en
tered the building, but they must have com
menced operations early, as the establishment
was thoroughly ransacked, and all the more
valuable goods carried off. Of Mr. f.'s entire
stock of Silks, not a shred remains. His best
embroideries and dress patterns, too, were also
selected, with a large assortment-. of velvets,
bonnet trimmings, handkerchiefs, ; the.
whole worth at least $B,OOO.
The goods were taken to the cells d there
opened and packed away for renovill. This
was evident, from the fact the papers in which
they were wrapped were all found there. The
whole must have filled one or two large boxes,
and how the thieves could have put them up
or removed them without the night police being
aware of the fact, we .cannot comprehend.—
That the parties who perpetrated the robbery
were well acquainted with the store is evident.
They not only knew the precise !pot in which
to bore in order to reach the bolt, but further
more, they were acquainted with the location
of all the best goods in the - store, and helped
themielves to them acc:rdialk.

SUSPICION OF FOUL PLAY.—A short time ago
a Mrs. Weaver, of Perry county, died very thi
denly and was buried. Twenty days after the
husband, Weaver, was again married, whim
foul play was suspicioned, and the deceased was
disinterred a few days ago, and it ve,is ascer
tained that she had been poisoned by strych•
nine. A little girl who resided with the fami
ly, testifies that she saw Weaver throw a lurid'
powder into a cup of coffee and give to his tife
to drink. Weaver has left for paris onke.
He was in this city a few days ago, and is a
scribed as wearing a pair of sky blue eassidfre
pants, with a heavy green cord down' the out
side seam.
COL. GREGG, OP CENTER COUNT!, co tin
FLOOR OF TI'S CAPITAL —The Assistant and.
Transcribing Clerks of the Senate, having a
high respect for the many excellent qua4ties
of head and heart possessed by the Colonel; ra
solved, as a testimonial of that aspect to ad
minister a quiet dose of gutty percha. Accod
ingly the Colonel was enticed into the Ttitnit
ctibing room, where Mr. Welsh, one of lbe
Clerks, awaited him with the fatal bludgeOn.
He presented the cane in a neat speech, which
was accepted and responded to in the happiest
manner, on the part of the Colonel. it Is
hoped that the tmpressiom made by this caning,
being upon the heart rather than the bead,
will long remain earnest testimonials cf
voted friendship.
In no branch of the mechanic arts in Udis
country has snore rapid strides been made 6
in the manufacture of Piano-Fortes, the fa '
T i
ite, nod, we may say, the universal multi
instrument of the househeld. Every well-reg>
ulated establishment must have its Piano; ire
deed, the parlor, with its gorgeous and luxur4
ions furniture, its pictures, its bronzes, its pal
rians, would be badly appointed without one.
And it behovea every man in selecting an in
strument, not to fail in obtaining one of good
tone and finish ; for, like furnaces, ranges and
cooking-stoves, the die ipest are by far the most
expensive. We know by experience—by pocket
experience—for, within a term of six years, we
purcLased three of as many different makers
and although it would have puzzled any but an
expert to have pointed out why they were not
equal to anything in the market, yet they
turned out to be miserable rattletraps and tink
ling cymbals compared to those of which we
write ; and all the skill and ingenuity of good
workmen failedia rendering them fit for an am-'
ateur artist to play Yankee Doodle upon in a
satisfactory manner. We got rid of our ' - bad bar
gains" one after another, at a sacrifice of course,
and were recommended to purchase one of i
Chickeriug's Parlor Grande, which we did,
three years ago, and we can now asseverate
that it was the only " good bargain" in the
Piano liva we ever made. It is truly a magnifi
vantlien.s, and one that We are-protarto
harelihr friends listen to ; and, moreover, it
has not required a cent to keep It in good con
dition, except the slight expense of tuning it
semi-annually. But while we are boasting of
possessing a superior instrument, we have
found, on inquiry, that all who possess a
Chickering Piano are so proud of theirs as we
of ours. We find no exception to the rule.--
The truth is, the Chickering Piano has never
found its rival in this country, and if we can
put full credence in the great musical celebri
ties from abroad, Europe has failed to produce
a more perfect instrument. It is, therefore,
by no means singular that to the-Messrs. Chick
ering were awarded the Gold Medal at thelate• i
Mechanics' Fair, held in this city, as' has been
invariably done at previous Exhibitions, nut
only here, but wherever they have competed
for the prize. The nturioer of Gold and Meer
Medals which they have from time to time re
ceived, forms,quite a nob and interesting nu
mismatic collection, and it is generally admit
ted that they have never bore away a pries that
they were not fully entitled to.
It is, indeed, a great satisfactionp possess a
good and reliable instrument, mid there is lit
tle danger of obtaining any other if it tears the
name of Chickerieg & Sons.
W. Extolls, 92 Market street, East side, is
sole agent for the Cmexemso PIANOS, and can
furnish such in pries varying from $226 to
$lOOO, according to size and finish.
He also can furnish Pianos from inferior tne4.
kers for the low price of $176; finely finished,
but without taking any responsibility for the
durability of the same.

ORIGINAL RESOLVTIONS.
Mr. IMBUE offered the following resolution,
which was twice read, considered and adopted :
That from and after this day it shall be the
duty of the SPEAKER to charge all private bills,
which may be hereafter called up for considera
tiqn, to the member up ter whose motion such
Ms may have been considered ; and it shall
alsio be the duty of the Snr.AxEri to call the
names of the Senators alphabetically whenever
the consideration of bills shall be in order ; and
each Senator shall, in his turn, have the privi
lege- of moving the consideration of a private
bill.
Mr. WELSH offered the following resolution,
.which was twice, read, considered and adopted.
That the Committee on Banks be authorized

Mr. MEREDITH offered the following resolu
tion which was twice read :
That five hundred copies of the sixth volume
lctransactions of the Pennsylvania State
tural Society - be furnished for the use of
the, Senators of the present session under the
superintendence of the Secretary of said socie
ty, wholkhereby directed to instruct the State
printer to _prepare them uniform with the pre
eeding volumes printed for the use of the Sen
ate ; and that the Secretary be directed to ar
range and classify said volume, so as to make
the work useful to those interested in agricul
ture. Provided, that the cost of each volume
shall not exceed the amount paid for said work
in former years.
Mr.*REGG. I think that the provision in the
teaointion may prevent, the work from being
pubßshed at all. If the sixth volume is ex
amined it will be found to be considerably lar
ger than those heretofore issued. It is a very
useful book, one which the farmers, in the coun
try, are desirous of obtaining.
Mr. MEREDITH stated hat he had been in
formed by the officers of the society kavingthe
matter in charge that the proviso as it at pre
sent reads, was necessary, and that the cost of
a single, volume would not exceed sixty-two
cents.
The resolution was then adopted.

Mr. LANDON called for an explanation of

Mr. KEI'CHAM explained the object of the
bill. In the other counties .surrounding Lu
zernk county, there were not sufficient induce
ments for companies to locate there. This Act
proposed that by paying one license to the
State in Luzerne county, these companies should
be allowed to extend their operations to the
surrounding counties. There was no monopoly
in the matter to be given to Luzerne county,
because the license thus paid went into the
Treasury of the Commonwealth. The people
in that portion of the State had stood by their
own home insurance companies until they had
been inflicted by bogus insurance companies.—
The agency asking for the passage of this bill
was an old established one. He hoped for the
benefit of the people that the Act would pass.
- The bill was then read and ageeed to ; and
the rules being suspended passed finally.
On motionof Mr. GREGG, thti Senate then
Adjourned.
