Woman Shot.
A notorions prostitute by the namo of
Mary Burke was shot on Saturday aught
under the following circumstances. About
eleven o'clock, a man by the name of
James Stapleton, who has been absent
in California for nine years, and who had
just returned on Saturday morning last,
came to her house using very violent lan
guage, and threatening to kill all of them.
There were several men there, but through
fear for their lives, they all left. The
woman Burke was sitting on a bench in
the back part of the room, when Staple
ton entered; she requested him to leave
the house, when he walked up to her and
slapped her in the mouth with his open
hand, and then knocked her down with
his fist. There were two girls pres
ent, both of whom fled, one running
up stairs and the other running out,
and concealing herself under an oven.—
The one who was hid under the oven states
that while she was there, Stapleton fired
two shots, one of which passed through
the casing of the stairs about six and a
half feet from the floor, the other striking
Mary Burke in the left side below the
breast, passing through the stomach, and 1
coming out at tile right hip. Mrs. Burke
lingered in extreme agony until half-past 1
four o'clock yesterday morning, when she"
died. She was sensible to the last, and I
complained constantly of a pain in her
stomach, once springing entirely out of
bed, so great was her agony.
After the shooting Stapleton went home
and went to bed. One of the girls ran to
the watch-house, and alarmed the police,
who immediately proceeded to the spot,
and after taking the names of the witness
es proceeded to the residence of Staple
ton, arrested him and took him to jail.—
Ye,sterday morning the prisoners were
brought out into the main hall of the jail,
and the witnesses introduced one by one,
in order to identify the murdei er. Each
walked directly up to Stapleton, and
pointed him out without any hesitation.:—
They were then required to give bail for
their appearance to testify and were re
leased.
Stapleton is a very large man, and the
weapon he need was a Navy sized revolver.
The girls who were present say that he was
not drunk, but appeared to be exceedingly
vicious. They also stated that before he
entered the house F.e had fired at a negro
woman and a little boy, missing both. At
home for the first time atter an absence of
%/Wine years, be, by his vicious disposition,
sends an unprepared soul into another
world, and places himself in such a posi
i lion that doubtless his life must pay the
penalty. We have our doubts about his
soberness—indeed, we think it would be
impossible for any man to commit such a
hellish crime unless he was either insane
or crazed by the infernal spirit of drink.
The Coroner yesterday morning held
• an inquest upon the body of the unfortu
nate woman, and the jury returned a ver
dict in accordance with the facts as above
stated.
Penitentiary.
To the kindness of Mr. 11. D. Stewart,
-ive are indebted for the following items in
regard to the Western Penitentiary. Since
the completion of this institution twenty
one hundred and sixty-one convicts have
been incarcerated within its walls, some
of whom have returned for the second and
third time, and one man for the seventh
time. At ' present it contains two hun
dred and thirty,of whom eight are females,
and about twenty five aro colored. The',
youngest inmate is a boy only sixteen
years of age, put in for larceny; the oldest
is a man seventy years of age. One man
is in for twenty-three years, and has
served two years of his time. Another,
an Englishman, is but thirty•five years of
age, and he has served twelve years in
prison. A half brother, and brother-in
law of Charlotte Jones occupy cells in the
main department of the prison. The
youngest female prisoner is a girl rather
prepossessing, wno is in for the crime of
infanticide. She is very penitent, and at
tributes her misfortune and crime
to her seducer and her father.—
Hera is truly acase to be pitied. Another
woman is iu for the double crime of at
tempting to poison her husband, and for
netting fire to his barn. As a matter of
(muse she denies her crime. The pris
oners are engaged in their cells and never
nee any one, not even the minister who
addresses them on the Sabbath. They
are engaged in weaving, making shoes,
trunks, , tc., and each one has hir task to
do daily. If it is not done the number on
his door is turned down, unless he can
explain his negligence in a satisfactory
manner—and he is deprived of his food
until he makes up for tho lost time. if he
should be obdurate he is placed ilia dun
geon, and in almost all cases this punish
ment sudices to bring him to his senses.
The prisoners are never known by name ;
their cells are numbered and they are
known by the number on-their cell. They
are allowed gas of nights for which they
pay by overwork. A good library is con
- nected with the institution, and they are
alloweitthe use of books. They are allowed
to correspond with their friends once
every three months, and to receive letters
from them, all communications, however,
pass through the bards of the Warden,
who suppresses anything of a contraband
nacre. The utmost order and neatness
characterizes the entire establishment.—
The walls surrounding the yard are thirty
feet high, enclosing a vegetable acd flower
garden and peach orchard i inside the
walls also are gas works which cost be
tween $B,OOO and $9.000. The retorts are
four in number, each capable of holding
lour hundred bushels of coal, only one be
ing used at a time. The gasometer is
twenty-five feet in diameter and is capable
of containing about seven thousand feet of
gas, of which twenty-six hundred is night
ly consumed. The prisoners are fed three
times a day ; in the morning and evening
with bread and coffee, and at noon with
three quarters of a pound each of good
fresh meat; and as much vegetable soup
as they want. The cooking is done by
steam, the apparatus for that purpose be
ing the most complete we have ever seen.
The ovens, two in number, are capable of
containing two hundred loaves of bread,
each loaf weighing three pounds three
ounces. The washing is all dose in a pat
ent apparatus worked by steam, and every
prisoner's clothing is numbered with the
number of his cell.
The grounds in front of the penitentiary'
are tastefully laid of, and ornamented with
trees and shrubbery, and in front of the
door is a fountain, always playing, in the
basin of which are numbers of gold fish.—
We are sorry that our present time will
not allow us to mention this institution
more in detail, but at some future day may
give a more Minute description of it, and
its internal economy. It is a place that all
persons visiting the city will find interest
ing, and Mr. Birmingham, or some of his
assistants, will take pleasure in showing
all persons through who may wish to in
spect it.
Rain.
At dusk last night a steady rain set in,
and it was still raining at the time.of go
ing to press. We can only hope that it is
general, and that the rivers may rise suffi
eient to admit of the resumption of navi
gation.
Fire.
The alarm of fire on Saturday night was
caused by the burning of an old stable in
the Fifth Ward. It occurred between ten
gud eleven o'clock.

' Another valuable eittbea departed from
our midst on the 2d inst. John Herron,
one of the oldest of our citizens, and a
man esteemed and beloved by all who
knew him, was gathered to his fathers, Sat
urday morning, at the ripe age of seventy
five years. Mr. Herron was a native of
Franklin county, and came here some time
in the year 1812. Pittsburgh was then lit
tle more than a village, but he lived to see
it become a. great and prosperous city,
and had the gratification of knowing that
his enterprise and example aided not a
little to its growth and development. Mr.
H. first engaged in the lumber business
and carried it on extensively for many
years on the lot on which Christ's M. E.
Church and the buildings between it and
the river now stand. He next embarked
in the coal trade, and may be regarded as
the pioneer of the business here. He
purchased a large tract of land outside
the city, from which his coal was obtained,
and carried on the business for years on
a very extensive ,tale, and with the most
encouraging success. The village of Mill
ersville, if we are informed aright, stands
on part of his property, and derives its
name from the fact of its having been set
tled by the miners employed in Mr. H.'s
works- Of late years the deceased gave
but little attention to business, but the
lvigor of his mind remained unimpaired,
andn he retained the full possession of his
faculties to the last. The deceased was a
member of the Presbyterian Church, and
a sincere, devout and practical chrietian.
He built at his own expense, a neat Pres
byterian church in Minersville, and was
!always a liberal contributor to its support.
As a man none stood higher in the corn•
munity than John Herron. His name was
a synonym for generosity and goodness of
heart, while his inflexible integrity won
him the esteem and respect of all. Society
has lost a cherished member in his de
cease, and the entire public will, we dotal)
not, feel deeply sorry when they read o
his demise.—Erenin g Chronicle.
Troops Passing Through.
r 'Maj. Showalter, commanding a portion
of the 6th and 7th Virginia regiments
(loyal) passed through the city on Satur
day morning, and took passage on board
of the steamer Starlight for Wheeling;
from whence they will proceed by rail
road to Warrington. These troops on .
Sunday last had a skirmish with the ene
my at Rowlesburg, forcing them to retire
with a repotted loss of twenty seven killed
and wounded. Theenemy being reinforc
ed, Major Showalter was ferced to fall
back upon Grafton, where he remained
until the evacuation of Morgantown by
the rebels, when he removed his troops to
that place and took possession. The ene
my again appeareing with heavy reinforce
ments, Maj. Showalter did not deem it
prudent to give him battle, and tell back
across Cheat river, when with the consent
of Gen. Pierpoict he reinforced Colonel
Mulligan, and the troops eventually took h
the cars at Uniontown for this city.
Paroled Soldiers.
On Saturday night eleven hundred and
twenty-six paroled soldiers from Camp
Pai r ole, Anapolis, passed through this city
on their way West. They were under
charge of Major D. F. Evans, Capt. Miller
of the 39th Indiana, being the second offi
cer in command. They principally be
longed to the 19th Michigan and 22d Indi
ana, although there were some of them
belonged to Virginia, Kentucky, Tennes
see, Ohio, Illinois and Missouri regiments.
Those belonging to Virginia, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Ohio and Michigan will be ta
ken to Camp Chase, and there detained
until exchanged, while the remainder will
be taken to Benton Barracks, Mo. They
were fed at City Hall, and expressed their
gratification for the treatment had at the
hands of Pittsburghers.
Avcident.
Mr. R. W. Means met with A very pain
ful accidentabont noon on Saturday. He
was standing by a lamp post in trout o
Rhodes & Verner's brewery, convesting
with a friend, when a large coal wagon
came up without attracting his attention,
and as it attempted to turn the corner to
drive into the alley, the wheel caught Mr.
Means and crushed him against the lamp
post. His right shoulder blade and arm
were severely bruised, but fortunately no
bones were broken. The wagon had to be
backed before he could be extricated from
his painful position.
Mail Arrangements for Sum
-- -
Post Master Von Bonnhorst has issued
a hand-bill giving the time for the closing
and arrivals of the mails, and is diatribe•
ting them through the city. All persons
receiving them will find it to their advan
tage to place them in some conspicuous
place for reference, as they will then be
able to keep themselves posted in regard
to the arrivals and departures of mails.
Flax Culture in • Wayne County,
Mr. J. N. Brownell, of Williamson,
Wayne county, N. 1"., raised the past. year
24,000 pounds of lint and 900 bushels of
flax seed. Mr. Lyman Millman raised 7,-
000 pounds of lint and 275 bushels of seed.
The whole amount of lint of bosh sold for
$7,500, the seed when sold brought $2 per
bushel, amounting to $2,300 ; adding the

Mtn Killed.
On Saturday morning a freight.train on
the Pennsylvania Central Railroad ran
over a man a short distance this side of
the Round House at Altoona, mashing his
head badly, and nearly cutting him in two
in the middle. He was kij'ed instantly.
As he was a stranger, the Railroad com•
puny took charge of his remains for inter.
went.
Alarm of Fire.
The alarm of fire at midnight on Friday

"So far as can be judged from the Con
federate line there is every possible
indication that cieneral Uosecrans' army
is in a very fine state of discipline, and
that it is impregnated with much of the
spirit of its able commander, who is far
more valued in this section than any other
Union leader, and that the stories of its
demoralization and disaffection are such
stuff /IS dreams are made of."

caralry the advance was led by Lieut.
Paine of the Ist Maine cavalry. Being
eparated from the main body, he encoun
tered unexpectedly a superior force of
rebel cavalry, and his whole party were
taken prisoners. They were hurried off
rapidly, and in crossing a rapid and deep
stream Lieut. Henry, commanding the
rebel force, was swept off his horse. As
none of his men seemed to care anything
nbout saving him, his prisoner, Lieut.
Paine, leaped off his horse, seized the
drowning man by the collar, and swam
ashore with him and saved his life, thus
literally capturing his captor. He was
sent to Richmond with the rest of the
prisoners, and the facts being made known

instant release of Lieut. Paine, without
