At a special meeting of the Hoard of Ineper tonoftbe Western Penitentiary,the following entry was ordered to t e made upon tbe minutes: tk)l. James Anderson, a member of this Board, was suddenly removed by death on the morning of the llith instant. His fellow mem bers of the Board of Inspectors would express J their unatTectcd sorrow for his decease, and record an earnest tribute to his many virtues. In every relation of life—as a father, a hus band, a humane, an honorable, and a truly religious mas-his was a shining example. He was the founder of a valuable educational institution, and the patron of every enterprise that proposed the amelioration of human trou ble, within the roach of his influence. Hor did he render lip-service merely. Ho was a constant worker, and a prompt, liberal, and Cheerful giver of time and of money. To sus tain tbe helpless orphan, to relieve the desti tute, to instruct the unodueated, to comfort tbe sick and insane, to reclaim misguided youth, to re-establish erring manhood, ho always devoted himself; and to these self-sacrificing labors he entirely gave up tho last few years-tboy con stituted, in fact, the chief pleasure of his declining days. Tho loss ol euoh a man is a public calamity . especially is it a calamity to the many institu tions of which he had or principal charge. To his immediate family, and to the wido circle of his relatives and his friends, his loss is irreparable. We tender to them, in their bereavement, our sincerest sympathy. Ordered, that the above be entered upon the minutes of tbe Board of Inspectors, and that a copy be sent to tbe family of tbe deceased (iso. W. Cass, President. "Wm. H.

Ihe report is that he bad broken into a sUire for the purpose of committing a robbery, that he there found a man asleep, and that to detection he had killed him, and that for so doing he was lynched by the people The Democrat says: “We have endeavored to as certain the truth of those rumors but can Und , othing reliable relative to them, and therelore conclude that they are false. They probably Srbrina.’ed from the fact that a man of the ,same name was recently hanged in Illinois. Burned to Dbath.-Od Sunday last, a In. lie girl named Mary Miller, re.id.ng with her uncle Daniel Bower., near West Newton, Westmoreland countv, caught lire during the absence of the. family, and ran out to a stream of water, where she extinguished the flames, but not until most of her clothing had bee consumed, and her body burned in a shocking manner.

Louis, it appears, was committed by Esq. Jancdy, of Lawrenceville, for drunkenness, on Wednesday evening, for vagrancy, and was placed in the cell named, with Andrew Mc- Mtllen, who was committed on Saturday last for disorderly conduct. A good deal of noise was heard in the cell during the night, by the prisoners on either side, and on the turnkey opening the door, about seven o’.-lock in the morning, Louis was found lying on the bed, his face and head terribly bruißed and covered with blood, insensible; and near him Btood McMullen, with a slick in his hand, with which he said he had beaten deceased because he wouldn’t talk German. Louis was washed and a physician sent lor, but he died in about three-quarters of an hour, before the Doctor arrived. Coroner ltostwick was summoned, and em paneling a jury, proceeded to hold an inquest upon the body of deceased. Wm. Swager, inside turnkey, testified to placing deeeased in McMullen b cell on Wednesday evening, and to finding him, on Thursday morning, lying on his loft side, speechless, and his face and body much swol len. McMullen said ho beat him because be wouldn’t talk German. McMullen seemed rational when committed, and none ol the other prisoners who had been in with him complained of any difficulty. a; W. Smith, clerk atjail, corroborated the lirßt witness as to Louis' condition when found, and said McMullen had, when they entered, a slick, about 14 inches '°ng ln hli hand, which he took from him McMullen said Louis was LryiDg to kill him ; be coin plaired of no injury and left tue cell when desired without hesitation; didn’t seem to be in liquor. Had Louis romoved to the other Bido of the jail and washed ; sent for Dr. McCook ; when he came Louis was dead. Abijah Ferguson, jail watchman. Ihomas Glass and'J J. Fox, occupying cell No. 1-, and George Massey and G. L. Gbaw in No 14,heard noise and talking in No. \S all night, most violent between 3 and 4 o clock. 1 bo man with the finest voice seomed to becboking the other and he cried : "oh’ God. don l kill me: 1 ’ "Let me go I" iic. W. S. Collier, clerk of the criminal Court testified to McMullen's acquittal of assault and battery, at March term, lbutf, by reason of in sanity and his commitment to the Western ] Pennsylvania Hospital, the jury having found; him unsafe to bo at large ; that he was .over■ oU years of ago and a resident of U pper M. C l*>r remembered of McMullen be ing sent to the Hospital and thought he had been out about tbreo months; did not considor him dangerous when committed . on Wednes day when ho conversed with him, seemed quite rational. Deceased was about lhlrt r five years of age. There is more or less no so in the jail every night, made by drunken pns OCI Dr A. G. Waller tcstibed that bo made & post mortem elimination oi tbe body ot de mised ; found be was a strong muscular man : bo was covered wllb blood , hi- lore-arms were bruised and blue, as though they bad been used to ward off blows at hi. bend there were several alight bruises on his cheat, but none on hia back ; hit lace was greatly swollen and bis eyelids cloaed Irum effusion of blood . bit nose was flattened, bruised, and a triangu lar cut on tbe bridge nearly an inch in extent . tbe greatest marks of violence were found on the bead ; there were about six cuts over the left temple, frontal and parietal bone, some nearly two inches in extent, through the whole thickness of the scalp, laying bare the cranium, they were evidor.llym.de by some blunt in strument ; the wounds showed more marks ol bruise than cut ; there were three large cuts on Ibo too of the bead, one more than lwo mchoe in exieiit, laying bare the skull ; two cuts over the right temple and one large one across the right cvebrow ; there was great offus...n ol blood under tbe scalp, more especially on the back of the bead: the blood flowed roadl.y when the scalp was detached; there was no fracture ol the skull, which was “f unusual thickness ; the wounds were quite sufficient to produce death : a great quantity ol blood was fouDd resting on Ibo membranes ol tbe brain, under the skull, the effect of recent injury . Ibe membranes were gorged witn blood, as well as the blood vessels of the brain Itself, some blood was found collected under the mem branes of the brain, the effusion of blood ex tending even down to the spinal channel at Ibo neck ; tbe man died of congestion of he blood vessels of the brain, and effusion of blood between the skull and tbe membranes ol the brain, producing compression. Tbo effusion was doubtless the result of the violence which the scalp and the skull received ; the stick ex hibited was sufficient to produce tbe wounds. Tbe jury, after bearing the above evidence, found a verdict—that the deceased cams to bis death from blows inflicted on him in a cell o the county jail, on the 21st of March, 1801, at the hands of Andrew McMullen. The body of tbo deceased was removed to Devore's undertaker shop, where it will remain until to-day, for his friends to claim if they de- LUBDB Nature. -A child was recently born in Iloroptield township, Westmoreland coun ty having but one eye, and that situated in the centre of the forehead. There was no nose nor any appearance of nasal bones The mouth was well formed and whore it should be. The ears were imperfectly formed, and situ - ed on the cheek bones; the rest of the body was well formed. This monster was not lning, which was a great blessing to all concerned '“la TV JAIL. Lunatic Blr l' commitment for murder was lodged against McMullen. It is generally believed that he was laboring under meDtal aberration when he committed this dreadlul crime, though he was discharged Irom the Hospital as cured. Since that time he has been living inlemper atelr and though he exhibited no signs of in sanity when committed jail, it m more than probable that hie old malady returned and caused him to do the dreadful deed. This occurrence shows the necessity of a larger Jail, in which prisoners may be kept in separate cells. Such an occurrence may no take place in twenty years again, but ll might at any time, under existing circumstancus, and such a possibility should bo prevented.

Shortcomings and Needed Refortns. .V UMBER SJ -V SANITARY M K ASD RES —NU ISANCKS —TII K BOARD OF HKALTU, &0. In our first we Btfttod that Pittsburgh was one of the healthiest cities in the world, and such is the fact; for wo have been compara tively freo from tho devastating epidemics which have, during thelasthalf contury, over run tho country, bringing death in their trail; and when they have reached us, wo have, from the peculiarity of our situation and atmo sphere, been visited lightly. The cholera has at times prevailed here, and also the small pox, to some extent, but they have never been char acterized with that malignity and fatality which marked their presence elsewhere. This exemption has not been owing to any particu lar regard to cleanliness or perleci sanitary regulations, but rather in spite of an almost utter disregard of whatis elsewhere considered an essential part of City government. In a previous article we alluded to some lapses of duty on the part of the proper offi cers in permitting mud and offensive carcases o lie upon the streets until they almost breed ■orruplion ; yet there are other pruvis. ions constantly violatod, endangering the health of our citizens, to which wo will bri.flv refer. The first is the violation of the hog law, by which hogs and other animals are forbidden from running at large in the streets, at any season. Policemen are authorized to take up all animals so found, impound them, and il not claimed within four days, Bell them at auction, and then, deducting the costs and expenses, pay the balance into the City 1 reas j,v Another section forbids under penalty of's:i the spilling of rubbish and tilth, from carls upon the Btreets and alleys. Another imposes a penalty of SJ.I for keeping, or suf fering to remain upon private property, or upon the river banks, any dead carcass, garbage or of al putrid moat, or other unwholesome matter. Another fixes a like penalty for brewers, dis tillers, soap boilers, tallow chandlers, tanners, (butchers and dyers should bo included) from permitting any nauseous or offensive inattor to be discharged into any adjacent well, vault or sink, or upon any street or alley, or any lot belonging to the city. Privy vaulis are for bidden to be emptied from May to November, unless declared a public nuisance and c,earning becomes necessary. The discharge of coal-tar or like substance, or the throwing into the streets of the same, from any manufactory <• also prohibited. A line of S-l is also imposed for placing earth, brick, t-lor.c. (except they are for building,) C-al, wood, tilth, ashos, mortar, lime, shavings, Jgc . on any street or al.ey. All there are wise provisions, calculated to preserve the health of the citizens, by keeping the atmosphere, as far as may bo. uncontami natod uis true that their observance is lose important in winter than summer, but they should be enforced at all times so that otiend ing persons may not presume upon indulgence in & the cold season fur favor m the warm, when tl>e public good Demands that all such nuisances should bo removed, n is tho duty of the Mayor and street commissioners 'to see these provisions eeforced at all lime*. Wo are pleased to see that the first named officor has already com menced a raid against those who have been violating the section relating Vo offal and gar bage in the gutters, or alleys and back lots, which becomes a most serious ev.l in the dog days. We hope he may go cm in this good work until people are obliged to make a vir tue of necessity and abate the nuisances we have enumerated. The Board of Health, a body but little known in this community, are specially em powered to remove any object which may have a tendency Vo endanger the health of the citizens, and to impose heavy penalties. It i», perhaps, owing to the exemption of our city from disease, that these gentlemen, elected by councils each year have so Ultle to demand iheir attention, but their labors are certainly not very effective when they only ask for ap propriations ranging, for a few years past from sH>oto foutl annually. True, coumtls grant 11.-m as much a, they ask,but wo do not believe this insignificant sum wi.l do much toward preserving the health of the citizens throughoot the season when epidemics are most prevalent. It would certain y seem tha the smaller sum, at least, should be expended in lime, to be placed in the inlets of sewers under culverts, and along the gutters, lbo duties of tho Board of Health are clearly defined in an act of Assembly ap|roied April Mb, and the l-we:.- com ferrod are ample. 'I et »' cro n ‘’ from the reports in the public prints, by the physician to tho Board, of interments in tho city, the people would scarcely know that such a body had an existence. We have most serious doubts as to whether tho Board meets "at leastthreo time, a week between the first davs of June and the first days of Octo ber in every year." 1 fit does, then the result of their deliberations does not become appa rent for it ia seldom wo see any public net done by them. This body is in a position to do much good if a little more energy wore dis played Hereafter we hope the public may see and know something more about this mys- Various body. . , If tho ordinances referod to ware strictly on forced, and the Board of Health used proper exertions to remove all nuisances instead of being afraid of the expenditure of a few dollars, Pittsburgh might not only rank among tho healthiest cities of the world, but stand pre eminent as one almost exempt fro... disease, thus offering additional inducement f-T per sons to coma and live among us, so adding to our wealth and prosperity.

Olio of the largest operations yet attempted in Venango oil lands, which cannot fail to en rich those concerned in it, came under our notice recently. Messrs.

Persons familiar with the localities say that no better show of oil can be found anywhere In the ml regions. Besides the oil lands they have about a thou- acre, of coal, which, of itself, must ..rove ip that country, where coal is a scarcity and command, from fllleen to twenty cents per bushel.

Soveral, variously afflicted,one with a sore leg, one with rheuma tism, one for woakness, one fpr breast disease, one disease f the bladder, one with pain in tho side, one with sore eyes, testified that they had been benefitted by her treatment. Mr. Hacker, of the Scott House, testified to the proper de portment of the defendants. For the prosecu tion a lady of Brownsville testified to having paid $6O for treatment of her husband, who got a little better after three week’s treatment; after which they refused to treat him further unless they got more maney. Another wit ness testified that Tennessee having received S6‘>for attemptingto cure her sister of fits.bad after seven weeks treatment, dec'ared her cured, when she had received no benefit. A iady of Washington street, who called upon tho Mayor, unknown to her husband, and saaid she felt it her duty to testify against these imposters gave evidence as follows: Consulted the Clsfln’s ; Tennessee told my fortune, and I then' consulted her in reference to mv disease. She asked StiO for the cure, and i paid her $l.OO for telling my fbrtune She prou ised to cure me for $2O, and 1 paid her $l2 in advance I got no better, and ono day when I called Miss Tennessee summoned •■her physician a young man whe wished me to submit to an examination, which I re fused.

She said the young man was her brother-in-law, but I believe he is her husband. I say under oath that 1 believe Miss Tennessee is a marriod women. • Another party had consulted Tennessee about tbe cure of a dumb child, which she said she could perform in six or seven weeks for SH»I. They paid $l6, but the child got very sick on taking the medicine. Further bearing was postponed until alternoon but no more evidence was adduced, and the parties were held to bail in the sum of $2,00 each, to answer at court for conspiracy to cheat and dolraud.
