Great Western Sanitary Fair.
, The great Fair which opens this week in
• Cincinnati, bide fair to be the most success*
' ful enterprise of the kind yet Bet on foot
I to raise fands lor the Sanitary Commission,
i The following is a copy of a letter furnish
ed for publication, addressed by the Moat
Rev. J. B. Purcell, Archbishop of Cincin
nati, to a committee of Catholicgentlemen,
on the subject of the Sanitary Fair.
Cincinnati, Dec. IG, 1863.
“ Having already expressed my heartfelt
sympathy with the objects contemplated by
the Cincinnati Branch of the United
States Sanitary Commission, in a letter
addressed to George McLaughlin, esq.,
one of the Secretaries, I here add, that I
see no impropriety in collections being
advocated by our clergy and taken up in
all our church&s, for our sick and wounded
soldiers—all of whom are our fellow citi
zens. and many of them members of onr
own Catholic congregations.
“ I am happy to know, and I consider it
my duty here to state, that if our Catholic
ladies and gentlemen are not ns actively
engaged as others on committees, they
yield to none in liberality, when called on,
or without being called on, for their con
tributions to the Fair. The Gas Company,
of which Catholics are among ibe heaviest
stockholders, have agreed to furnish all
the gas that will be required to light the
bazaars, estimated at $3OOO, gratis.
“ It is not the time or the place to enu
merate here all the demands that the
city have to meet —private school
houses, orphanages, Ac., Ac., but our duty
to the sick and wounded soldiers is also
imperative on ns, and the faithful discharge
of this dnty will invoke for us iho Divine ,
blessing and assistance, bo that we may be i
able to provide education for the youth, ,
and food, raiment ana protection for the |
orphans. ]
41 Let, then, collections for the soldiers i
in the hospitals be taken up in all our city j
churches, and I shall be glad to learn that ,
the example of the city nas been followed
by all the churches of the Arch Diocese.
“ ' J. B. PURCLLL,
“ Archbishop of Cincinnati.”

Brutal Murdsr.—A moat brutal mur
der was committed id Montrose last week.
A man uamed Joseph Panuanie: and bis
wife led an intemperate and quarrelsome
life, and the house seems to have been
a reaort for depraved persons of both
sexes and colors. Sunday morning, the
dead body of Mrs. P. was found upon tbo
floor, bearing evidence of her having been
beaten to death. On Monday a coroner’s
jury was summoned, whose verdict is that
‘‘ Lncinda Jane Parment-er came to her
death by violence indicted by her hasband,
Joseph Parmenter, both being in a state
of intoxication.' r Parmenter wasarrested
and is now in prison. Referring to the
murder, the Montrose Democrat Bays:
“ The house exhibits evidence of extreme
destitution, such as we ‘ read of,’ but hope
never to witness, Too much of bis earn
ings went for liquor, beDce debaochery,
destitution, and at last murder. Several
young children are left to become a public
charge/’
“Young America’’ is in bis
glory just now, and the way the little tiny
sleds sail along the sidewalks is a caution
to pedestrians. True, some inccnveni
ence arises from it, but then boyhood
comes but once in a lifetime, and “sled
ding time’' only once or twice a year;
then why should those who are too old or
too proud to enjoy the sport growl like
surly bears at the little archins who can,
and gravely call upon the Mayor to send
forth an army of police to arrest the boys.
Tony Moke is as happy on his sled as the
Hod. Barney Grumbler in his splendid
sleigh, comfortably wrapped up in furs,
making “two forty time” to the merry
music of an hundred bells. Live and let

Institute.— The teachers of Westmore

ets from Pittsburgh and Johnstown, and
all intermediate stations to the place of
meeting, on December 28th nnd 29th,
good until January Ist, inclusive, to all
persons provided with credentials. A
large attendance is expected.
“Drinks” Going Up.— Strange as it
may seem “drinks” are going down and
up at the same time, at least in New
York. The following scale of prices for
the “ardent” has been agreed npon by
New York city retailers- Brandy 10 to
15 cents per glass; gin and rum 10 cents;
inferior quality from 6 to 10 cents; soda,
ale and porter (bottled) 5 cents; ale 10 to
12 cents per quart.
Foe Aeizonia. —Messrs. George Noble
and S. B. Kennedy, formerly trainmasters
on the Pennsylvania Central Bailroad, left
Saturday evening on the fast line for New
York, preparatory to embarking for Ari
zona, for the purpose of mining, &c. They
will be accompanied by some twenty
others, and will leave New York on Wed
nesday, 23d inst. Messrs. Noble and
Kennedy were amorg the most reliable
officers connected with the Central Boad
and in whatever capacity they may be
placed, they will no donbt do themselves
eredit.
Be-nohisated. —The city editor of the
Chronicle has been again nominated for
Common Council in the Second Ward.
As to the honors attached to the office of
councilman "we know nothing, hut have
■been assured that the emoluments are

They respectfully ask assistanse i-, pro

Gram; Festival at Grace Church.—
We desire to call attention to the fact that
the Ladies of Grace Church (Rev. E.
Higby,) corner of Grant and Webster
streets.open their Grand Festival this even
ing, in aid of the Christian Commission.
Who can resist the appeal of the ladies for
aid in support of so good and noble a
cause? Let the receipts of the Festival
be such as to cause its projectors to feel
proud of the enterprise, and the heart of
many a poor aick and wounded soldier to
beat with gladness. The choir connected
with Grace Church contributed $22 for
the above object b few days since.
Catholic Fair.— The Catholic Fair for
the benefit of the Orphan Asylum, com
menced last evening at Concert Hall, and
will continue during the Holiday weeks.
The charitable nature of the Fair will com
mend itself to all. To be the meant of dry

deed than to win a battle or storm a for
treßS. Then visit the Fair often and spend
as your means will admit.

Theatre. —OwiDg to the great success
of Mr, Proctor’s adaptation of the famous
historical drama of Alexander Damas,
entitled Ambition , we learn that it will be
repeated thiß evening. The piece is finely
cast and we mußt say of its production
last night that the management deserves
great credit. Mr. Proctor as Ethelwold
really surpassed himßelf, in fact the pres
ent engagement of this gentleman has ad
ded greatly to his reputation as a first
class actor. With pleasure we note the
satisfaction and gratification which the
admirers of the old Pittsburgh Theatre
nightly greet this deserving artist. Chip
pendale as Staunch Old Thomas Cramer
Archbishop of Canterbury, did well!
Sefton and Annie Hyatt were at home as
usual. Annie Eberlie, who sustains the
principal female character, was well re
ceived. The piece will be repeated for
this evening. We learn, incidently, that
the “Ghost" will appear on Christmas af-1
ternoon for the accommodation of the
little folks.
The Debut of the Holmans. —Rarely
have we seen so dense a throng of fashion
ables as assembled at Masonic Hall last
night. The doors were scarcely opened
before the hall was crammed and an im
mense number turned away, unable to
obtain even standing room; a few individu
als desired permission to Bland in the en
trance, but could not be accommodated, i
The opera was magnificently rendered, I
and was received with corresponding en- j
thusia3m. We observed the elite of our
city among the audience; in fact it is
very seldom that pur ladies turn oat in
such numbers as we saw them last evening,
and we are aatisfied that they were all de
lighted. Ihe Bohemian Girl is grand, I
and Miss Sallie Holman is grander, with a
magnificent voice and perfectly an fait in
the dramatic art, abe held the audience
spell bound throughout the entire opera,
while her versatility in the after piece is I
truly astonishing. Miss Julia is also very j
charming, and danced herself at once ioto
the popular heart. Altogether the perfor
mance of the Holmans is unsurpassed, and
merits, as it will undoubtedly receive, the I
moat liberal patronage. The Bohemian j
Girl will be again repeated to-night. I

j Although no official order ha 3 yet

I Gen. Schofield will be relieved within a
j day or two at his own request, as the

A gentleman who hos resided in Kicb- I

Richmond on the 4ih, has furnished the
following: The garrison of the city and
forts nnmber about 3.000 men who axe I
principally employees of the Government. J
They are armed with Belgian rifles. The j
fortifications consist of several lines c.f
entrenchments, earthworks and rifle pits,
besides forts. Tbe forts arespaioly man
ned. The numbejr of guns mounted on j
ail the works is quite inconsiderable com-1
pared with their extent.
At tbe time our prisoners planned their
escape the Union men of Richmond were
aware of the intended effort., and would
bdve joined the prisoners had they sue
ceedt-d. From the armory in Richmond
and the works at Fayetteville, N. C\,
about thirty guns per week are turned
out, and all these guns are rifled at the
Tredegar. Their heavy guns have been
hooped, and the work cf thus improving
them is going on. Arrangements are
being made by which they hope to make
| two huudred rifled gnus per month.

persons addicted to the use of stimal&nts and
n areoticfc such as Alcoholic and Malt Liquors,
Opium, Morphia. Arsonic Tobaoco, eto., etc. It
removes the morbid appetite or craving of the
stomach for stimulants, Ac. In Headache, Neu
ralgia, and all nervous diseases, it has no equal
as a Nervine.
Art A TONIC, it gives a healthy tone to the
stomach, improves the appetite, corrects liver
derangements, regulates the bowels, removes lan-
Sor and drowsiness, and brings perfect health to
e Dyspeptio.
A 3 AN ALTERATIVE. The blood, the life of
the body, is derived from the food we digest.
How important, then, that tho duties of the stom
ach are perfectly performed. If its duties are
imperfectly executed, disease Instead of health is
scattered through the system. When our food is
properly digested, puro blood is supplied the
body, and Blotches, Bunnies, Tetter, Erysipelas,
Old Bores, Mercurial ana VeneriaJ Taints, and
other diseases arising from impure blood, disap
pear. Use Dr. Cutler's English Bitters and you
will have perfect digestion and pure blood.

New York, Dec. 21.— A Havana let

Maximillian Regency was virtually dis
solved by the action ot the archbishop of
Mexico city. The archbißhpp insisted on
the restoration of the church property
which had been confiscated aud disturbed
by Juarez. This was refused, so his grace
not only retired from the royal council,
but excommunicated every person, French
aud Mexican who opposed him, from
Gen. Bauzineto Gen. Almonte down to
the drummer boys of the liberating army.
The cathedral doors being closed againßt
the parties, Gen. Negre surrounded the
building with 3000 French -soldiers, and

World dated New Orleans December the
13th says: Up to to-night we have nothing
fresh from the Rio Grande, but our forces
have all left the Teche. A small garrison
is at Brashear this side of the bay. Ido
not know that anything is expected from
Texas just now though possibly there may
be reported here that Magruder is at Col
umbus, on the Colorado, with a large
force, and that if the federal army enters
into the interior its progress will be dis
puted. It will not, in my opinion, leave
navigable waters very soon. Magruder
was fully aware of the intended attack on
the Rio Grande and rather invited it with
the hope of embroiling the United States
into n difficulty with France.
Cairo, Dec. 21. —Boats from below
