Dr. Wm. Walk er, a practicing physician and resident of Allegheny city, committed suicide on Fri day night. It seems that he had been drinking freely for some time past, and on Friday called at the drug 6tcre of Chas. H. Super, corner Penn and St. Clair streets, and wrote a prescription which was filled. It read: “tincture opium, 2cz , spirits camphor, 2 drahms, simple syrnp, 1 drahm —take haU a spoonful every two hours, signed: Walker.” He immediately proceeded home, and in the presence of his mother, drank the entire contents of the bottle at a single draught, from the effects cf which he died two hours rfterwards, He was a young man, and leaves a wife and family. We under stand an inquest will be held to-day by the Coroner. Steamer Prjma Donsa 'Sunk. —By a note from F. H. McCook, clerk of the steamer Nevada, we learn that the steamer Prima Donna, on Saturday at four o’clock, at the head of Capteen, struck a sunken coalboat, which caused her to sink in ten feet water, on the Ohio bank. She listed very much to the starboard, and the water is within two feet of her boiler-deck. The Prima Donna was loaded principally with flour, to Parkersburg, for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. On arriving at Parkers burg, she waa ordered by tho Railroad Company to Wheeling, and on her way : thither she sunk as stated. Her cargo was insured to Parkersburg, and no fur ther, hence the whole loss falls upon the Railroad Company. No lives were lost, The Nevada went to the assistance of the sinking vessel, took her passengers and crew on board, and kindly cared for them. Ihe Western i nivermiy George F. Barber, M. D., now Professor in the medi cal cchool in Albany, N. Y., will enter on his duties as Professor ot the Natural Sci ences in the Western University, on tbe first Monday in January, when classes will be formed m Astronomy, Chemistry and Geology. Professor Barber, in his depart ment, has no snpeiiors of his age in this conntry. He will be a great acquisition to the University and city. This institution, already prosperous to a degree unprece dented in its history, will receive a new impulse by the addition to its corps of professors of this distinguished scholar, students in medicine will have every ad vantage to acquire a thorough knowlege of chemistry for analysis of medicine in the laboratory. Students will be admitted on Monday after New Year’s day.! Apology Queer Proceedings—Lxplaua- On Saturday morning we gave a state ment made to us by Jameß E. Giles, a discharged soldier, who had been arrested by a detective, ou suspicion of being a de serter, and confined in the guard house in the Provost Marshal’s office. A pri vate note from the detective in question assures ns that no blame in the matter is attached to either Captains Foster or M’Henry, he having neglected to prompt ly report the arrest; hence he desires to share alone any censure that may be at tached to the affair. In concluding his note to us, he says : “I may add that officers are instructed to apprehend all persons wearing any part of the uniform of a soldier of the United States unless they are positively known to be discharged from the army, or home on furlough. A great maDy ‘bogus* dischar ges are known to have been issued, and Provost Marshals are required to exer cise the utmost scrutiny in the examina* tion of parties who nfay be arrested and claims to have been discharged. One man, named Gailey, nnder arrest since November 27, as a deserter, claimed to have been discharged, and prodaced a paper to\this effect, which was found to be bogus, the officer in command of bis compuuy pronouncing the signatures for genes.” It may he proper to remark that the de tective asserts.that Giles was pointed out to him as a deserter, that he knew nothing about his having a dischargo, and regrets exceedingly that the matter turned out &b it did. Tue Draft. —We do not mean the draft that is to be obviated in this State by liberal subscriptions to the bounty fund, but that more interesting draft that is now taking place from the pockets of our citizer.B who are buying gifts for the Holi days. The sales of the wheeler k Wilson Sewing Machines for this purpose alone, at 27 Fifth street, during the past month, from our own positive knowledge, foot op a fabulous sum. W'e rejoice to know that it is bo. Thousands of the most sensible ladies in the land to day bless the name of Wheeler A Wilson for the benefits derived from the use of this superior inimitable, and in all respects unapproachable Sewing Machine . and. from present appearances, the number ui wives, mothers, daughters, sister* and others, that the coming holi days will add to this happy list will amount tc thousands. This universal preference I.t the Wheeler A Wilson Machine is based upon the fact that it is a great living reality, and not a dubious experiment as too many find other machines in the mar ket to be. to their sorrow. The perma nent supremacy of this great, machine could, in fact, no sooner be supplanted than you could supplant the North star, or upset a mountain. Again we say to a!U call at their sale-rooms and ecu tho variety of works which can be doi.e un these machines.
