A Btni|e Proceeding.
On Saturday evening, between i»« n and
eight o'clock, an unknown man was discover
ed peeping through the windows In the resi
denee of Hr. A.; D. Hiller, on Esplenade
street, ia the Third ward, Allegheny. He left
the front, and pirooeeded to the reir of the
j dwelling. Hr. MWot wm absent at the timo,
I and on being Informed of the suspicious move
ments of the individual, Mrs. MU|er hastened
to seonre the bade deor. The stranger, how
ever, before she had time to fasten Ahe door,
and as toon as he got intide he turned thp
key in the look, and took possession of it.
Mrs. Hiller then fled in the next room, before
I the maa had time to pursue her,and looked the
I door to prevent his entrance. The children
I escaped from a window while the man was en-
I dsavoring to force open the door whioh Mrs.
1 Miller had closed, and the neighbors were
soon alarmed. Sevoral xqen gathered, and on
looking in they found that too intruder had
I given'up his attempts to follow Mrs. Miller,
I and had ooolly set to work to help himself to
[ some viotuals which he found in the cubbard.
I The house was entered, and the fellow was
I oaptnred without much difficulty. He appear
! od to be insane, and the men, instead ot turn
ing him over to! the police, permitted him to
esoape. His conduct was very ®»an«, ftad
quite unlike that of an ordinary thief. There
was a considerable sum of money in the room
to whioh Mrs. Miller fled, and his object may
I have been to get-posseailon of that. His can
duot, however, after failing to get into the
I room would tend.to negative this supposition.
If insane, his insanity is of that dangerous
character which would warrant his arrest and
j confinement. The police may succeed in ap
r pretending himi

Whoever will read a few pages of this story,
we ventage to promise, will not fail to read
on to the end. Its heroine, Madge, (or Mar
garet,) Foster is such a one as nature and
ooflunon life, In [their manifold possibilities,
may produce—and the reader, from the very .
first, will find himself taking a very genuine
living interest in.her fortunes. Indeed all;
I the eharaoters of the story are very well eon-
I oeived, well drawn and consistently sustained
throughout, though in a few minor points
probably some mistakes could bo mentioned.
On the whole,:we should describe it as a
I healthy interesting story—and commend It as
| one that oan but do good as often as it la read.

Cane Presentation.
On Friday evening a splendid cane was pre
sented to Lledt. Thomas Matthews, late of
the Forty-sixth Pennsylvania Regiment, by
his fellow Mini glass blewers, of Birmingham.
The cane was manufactured from wood taken
I from old Fqrt Duquesne, and is surmounted
with a gold head, bearing an appropriate in
scription. The presentation speech was made
I by Mr. Jenkin Jones, and was received on be-
I half of the recipient by Hr. Wm. Matthews.
1 After the presentation the party present par-
I took of refnMhmsnts and parted, wishing
I that many such, happy meetings would be
I partidpated'in by them.
Lieut. Matthews served in the regiment
I commanded by OoL Knipo, in Banks* division,
j and was in the memorable retreat down the
Shenandoah; He was also in the Slaughter
Mountain engagement, where he lost a leg, in
I consequence of which he reoeived his dis-

from Admiral Ddpont to the government.
The reports froxx| several oommuidbrs nad
not been received up to the time of ko 4**

From other then; official eoaroer, it i i ascer

following order: Captals John

with Admiral Dnuontand hie staff on board;
next followed the SOptskill.Capt. Seou Bod

Capt. Downs; Keokuk, Capt. Bhind. |
In this order, they proceeded up the mala
channel, arriving; within 1,100 yards of the
main forte, tho Ironsides beeame unmanage
able, owing io tide and the narrownrai of
ohannel, and ehe was, thetoforo, obliged to
drop anchor to [prevent drifting
Owing to these elronmsUncos, she eignalled
her eoneorts to dlengard her motions. The
remainder of the iquadron thon ooatinnod on
its oonrto, and soon oaio within range of the
rebel fires from ail points. Tho obstiuoUons
of tho ohannel bom Fort Bamtor to Fort
Moultrie Interfered with tho progress of onr
ships. In this, and the posi
tion of tho Irofisidos,: as above stated, the
plan of operations or battle was deranged, ana
the space for maneuvriing being only from.
500 to 1,000 yard* tho Vessels were obliged to
prepare, and at .oaoe engaged tho lorta and
the adjacent batteries. ; 4 , „
The signal had boon made for aotion at half
past three o'clock in the afternoon by the ,
Ironsides, bat the rebels had provlonajy open- j
ed fire npon the leading vessels. The contest i
Is represented asjin the highest degree exolt-1
ing, presenting a fearful scene of Are belching |
from all points bn~water and land. Ia the
oourseof three ferfour minutes the Keokuk
was in a sinking condition, and was obliged
to withdraw froih tho fire and teek an anchor-:
age below tho range of'the enemy’s £ans. A,
few minutes afterward all the vessolls with-,
drew, from a signal of ; the flag-ship, » Ming
deemed impracticable to continue any farther;
hostilities. The Keokuk was.within live
six hundred ya|ds of Fort Sumter, and was
completely riddled. She was struck from wi
the batteries within range at twenty times in i
thirty minutes.! The shot was from rifled;
cannon of the heaviest oalibre.' Capt. Bhind,!
her commander, 1 received a contusion on the
leg from a flying fragmqpt of his vessel r whion
only slightly lemed him. Twelve of tho mon
were wounded, together with Acting E align
Helntosh, whojhad charge of one of the guns;
The Injuries are supposed to be fatal. •
The next mcfrnlng '(Friday) finding it lm* i
possible to savel the vessel, Capt. Bhind called
a tug whloh all his men on board. A
few minutes thereafter the. Keokuk sank.
The persons belonging to the ship lost all
their private 'effects. On Wednesday the
squadron remained at anchor in the main ship
channel. 4, , 1 . j
It is said **tlie number of men In onr fleet
was' only aboui eleven hundred, with thirty
gnns, while the enemy had, it is supposed, at
least three hundred- guns, the best in the
world. The tojttries to the vessels, excluding
the Keokuk, afe represented to be of snob a
character a* will require but a short time for
repairs. The dasoaities among onr men were
