Mrs. McCroelev was last seen in company
with her husband, on Wednesday afternoon,
in front of thoir own home. Ho was scolding
and quarreling with hor, and sho loft him,
going towards -the city. It seems that sho
took the tow-path towards Duquesne borough,
perhaps intending to seek shelter with some
of hcrfamily relations residing in that vicin
ity. The drowning may have boon acciden
tal, but it is much more likely that, in a fit I
of despair, sho threw herself into the canal to J
escape from the brutal treatment of a drunken
husband. The deceased was about thirty-five
years of age, and is well spoken of by those
who knew her. She had frequently appealed
to the police to protect her from the abuse of
her husband, who has rendered her life miser
able by his brutality.

business. Tho following special dispatch
was received last evening, from Franklin :
Hirer too low for steamboats, and falling

Crude oil is worth $7,25 at Union Station on
the Snnbury A Erie Railroad, and is advan

Christmas of the near i
approach of Christmas are multiplying on |
every hand. The shop windows show thut
tho usual preparations have been made for
the festive season, the coming of which raise?
many delightful anticipations, especially to
t£o young. To our readers, the lady portion
of them particularly, we would direct their
attention to tho superbly furnished storo of
Mr. Charles Gipner, 78 Market street. No
: one has been more successful in his purchases
: for tho wants of the public. llc_offers each
artiole at a very reasonable price. Uis
shelves and cases aro filled, and lined with a
thousand attractive articles, which_will make
I suitable and elegant holiday presents, and
| wb are certain that in regard to quality they
cannot be surpassed in tho city, or obtained
at lower prices- This establishment has al
ways been a favorite with the ladies, and wil l
I continue so, as long os tho gentlemanly pro
prietor will continue his efforts to please all
who favor him with a call. Our readers* will
consult their interests by calling soon and
J making their necessary purchases.
Houdat; OfsTEgs, AKP Where to Get
Them.— Wk hear of nothing OUO now-a-days
but holiday presents, and we can see no reason
why a can of nice oysters should not prove a
very acceptable present. If any of our read
ers havejtho intention «C presenting some
of their friends with a lot of delicious bi
valves, wVwouTd recommend them to our
friend Eli-Young, or the Cornucopia, and be
will tell thorn that he has just received the
i very thing, front and luoious, in tho can or
i shell, by tho doxen or the quart. Mr. Young,
| in order to accommodate his more distant cus
tomers, has provided himself with a good
horso and wagon, and will supply them at
I their own door. Remember the place of his
wholesale depot is Fifth street, or at the cor
nor of Virgin ally andSmithCeld street, where
you can have them steamed, fried, roasted, or
in the-shell, according to your taste and
1 pleasure.

Fourth streets. They are daily receiving
largo additions to thcir_prcscnt stock, and
wiH_continno to do so throughout tho season,
so that purchasers can at all times procure
any article usually kept in a wholesale or re
tail Dry Goods establishment. Giro them an
early call. _
Good Advice.— Aj this a time when money
is spent freely, and generally without propor
regard to return of value, we adviso our
readers who arc in pursuit of presents, to visit
the Dry Goods stores of oar city, where they
will find articles of beauty and of real intrin
sic value also. Wo are porsuadod that by in
specting the immense and varied stock of the

will bo convinced of this. Their prices are so
j low as to permit a. large liberty in taste, at
I littio expense. Go and soo, and wo are saiis-
I fied you"will feci obliged to us for our advice.
Where to Get Teem.— ln these war times
it becomes a mattor of somo importance to
many to know where cheap goods of reliable
quality-can bo purchased. To such of our
readers as desire to know, wo will say that
Wm. H. McGco A Co., clothiers,corner of Fed
eral streoi and tho Diamond, Allegheny, have
on hand a full stock of Bill and winter goods,
ready made or famished to order, made in tho
! latest and most fashionable stylos, at prices

Si. Lodis,' Not. 20.—Farther information
received from the west, this morning, to the
effect that in addition to the expedition of
Gen. Pope against the enemy, near Clinton,
another part of his forces, under Col. Davis
and Major Marshall, surprised anothor camp
of rebels on tho afternoon of the 18th, near
Milford, a little north of lVarrcnsburg. A
brisk skirmish ensued, when the rebels find
ing themselves surrounded, surrendered.
Davis took thirteen hundred prisoners, in
cluding three Colonels, seventeen Captains,
one thousand stand arms, sixty-fivo wagons,
one thousand-horses, and a large quantity of
toots, baggago and supplies<--
Our loss was two killed and eight wounded.
Rebels loss not yet known.

SrDiLiA, Dec. 20.—Early yesterday morn
ing, our scouts brought us information that
the 1 '.rge rebel train and the reinforcements
which wo had marched South to intercept it,
had divided, and the larger portion wore
marching South frem Warerly, intending to
eamp at night near Milford. General Pope
brought the main body of the army in posi
tion a few miles south of Waverly, sent out a
strong force under Col. Jeff. C. Davis, within
a few miles of Warrensburg and Knob Knos
tcr, to come on the left and rear of tho enemy,
at the same time ordering Merrill's cavalry
to march from-Warreosburg and como op to
the right.
Colonel Davis pushed rapidly forward, and
came up to the enemy in tho aftornoon, drove
in the pickets, carried a strongly defended |
bridge by a vigorous assault, and drove the
I enemy , into the timber, who, finding himself
[ surrounded, surrendered. Twolvo hundred
men, including two colonels, one lieutenant
colonel, ono major and seventeen captains
were taken prisoners, and sixty wagons,
heavily laden with supplies and clothing, and
a large number of borscs and mulos, foil iuto
oar hands. Our loss was two killed andfour
teoo wounded. That of the enemy is consid
erably greater. This if the best planned and
executed action of the wnr, and reflects great
credit on the General commanding, and the
■ oflieors aud men who so fsithlully and
promptly carried out his project.
Seoaua, Dec. 20.—C01. Palmer's brigade
arrived here last night, and Gen. Popo is cx- ]
pectcd to-day. All the information from the
North and West is to the effect that no efforts
have been spared-, to send Prieo an ample
supply of clothing for Winter. All, or near
ly all of this has fallen, or will fall into our
bands. Nearly 200 hsavily laden wagons arc
already in our possession, together with a
largo quantity of ammunition, arms, a thou
sand horses, tents, camp equipage, Ac., and
between lboo and 20UO recruits have been
taken prisoners.
Maj. Hubbard, of the Ist Missouri Cavalry,
has captured over CO rebel reernits within tho
past few days, killed several others, and
taken a considerable number of tents, ecvoral
wagons, a quantity of baggage and arms,
and burned a mill which had been supplying
the rebels for some time past. Altogether I
the rebellion has received a terrible shock in |
this section oT the country withiu tho present
week. It is thought by many that Price will
cross tho Osage to assist his Generals, Stem
and Slack, who are now in the river counties
with 40UU or 5000 men, to escort the reernits
and supplies to their main camp at Osceola.
If he docs, he will be compelled to stand a
general engagement, in which ovent there is
no question whatever but that he will be
badly defeated and bis army entirely scat
tered.

Cixcikxati, Dec. 20.—Tho Commcrt
Frankfort dispath, to-night, says there is |

Williamsport, Dec. 20. —Affairs in and
around this point arc quiet, oxcept tbe cx- j
change of shots with tho onomy at Dam No.
5 and at Falling Waters. The rebel Jack
son's battery at the former place, including
rifled gun, has been at work cn
doavoring to the dam, which now
seems to be tho principal olycct of his demon
stration. H»s fire is responded to by two
parrottguosof Knapp'sPennsylvaniabattery, I
at Falling Waters. Ono section of Best's !
battery has been operating occasionally
against two of Jackson’s guns.
The design of the rebels at Falling Waters
appears to be to distract attention from Dam
.No.. 5. -
Tho effect of our fire has not been devel-*
oped. The enemy's guns produced no result.
-There is not tbe least danger of Jackson
attempting to cross the river. Deserters from

that the rebels supposed they had made i
