LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
DEATH OF STEPHEN C. FOSTER.—The
death of Stephen C. Foster, a musical
composer of more than ordinary merit,
says the Philadelphia Age of Tuesday, de
serves a passing notice at our hands. Mr.
Foster was a native and resident of Pitts
burgh, in this State, and belonged to one
of the most respectable families in that
city. His taste for music was early devel.
oped, his first, and one of his meat popular
songs, "Uncle Ned," having been com
posed at the age of eighteen. This was
about twenty years ago ; and from that
time until within the last two or three
years a flood of son g music has flowed
from his pen that hats met with a popu
larity almost unrivalled. His productions
have furnished entertainment and solace
to men and women in all quarters of the
globe, though bat few knew or enquired to
whom they were indebted for the pleasure
they experienced. To mention a few of
hie songs most familiar to the popular ear,
will give an idea of Mr. Foster's industry ;
and call attention to his merits as a maker
of the ballads which are said to be more
potent than even government itself. His
first were, like " Uncle Ned," written for
the negro minstrels, which were so much
the rage fifteen or twenty years ago.
Among that class were his " Oh I Buse
nah," " Nally Bly," " Nally was a lady,"
" Massa's in the cold, cold ground," "My
old Kentucky home," " Camptown Ra
ces," " Oh I Boys carry me long," and
most famous of all, hie 1 ' Old Folks at
home." His later compositions were
chiefly ballads of a sentimental order,
among which were such as " Gentle An
nie," Mollie do you love me," "Come
with thy sweet voice again," "Little Ella,"
"Jennie with the light brown hair,"
• 'Farewell my Lillie dear," " Willie we
have missed you," " Ellen Bayne,"
•• Maggie by my Bide," "The spirit of my
•• Happy hours at home," " Come
where my love lies dreaming," " I see her
still in my dreams," " Willie my brave,"
&c. As an instance of the popularity of
his `• Old Folks at home," it was tated by
a correspondent at the time of the Crime
an War, that in the English camps around
Sebastapool, that song and "Annie Lau
rie," were heard in every tent to the ex
clusion of almost all others. Any one
will recognize in the list we have given,
the airs which are, perhaps the most fa
miliar to his ear, and which he has heard
sung, played and whistled by our people,
in all the variety of places and styles which
evince popularity. Mr. Foster died in
New York city, on the 13th inst., at the
age of about 38 years. Hie remains were
taken to Pittsburgh, to be interred in the
family burying ground near that city.
Stephen C. Poste: was a brother of the
late Wm. B. Foster, jr., so long and well
known in Pennsylvania in connection with
her_ public improvements, and who was at
the time of his death the popular Vice
President cf the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company.

Total IQIS
Some of the above districts have already
filled their quotas, among which are
Snowden township, and we believe Eliza
beth township and the two boroughs.
Rostraver and Jefferson townships, in the
23d district, have also filled their quotas.
EXECUTION or A WomAN.—The English
papers contain an account of the execution
of Alice Hewitt, at Chester, for the mur
der of her mother. She induced a neigh
bor to personate her mother, and, by this
means, obtained an insurance upon her
life. She then killed her mother by the
administration of poison. Some three or
four thousand persons were present at th..
execution. She fell upon her knees, an.
prayed that her infant child might be
spared a similar fate, and that her death
might be a warning to others, Executions
of females in this country are of rare oc
currence. Last year one was executed in
Canada with ner husband for murder. In
Boston during the last century a woman
was hung for theft. We may add that
Charlotte Jones was executed in this eity
a fewyears since, with her paramour, Hen •
ry Fife, for the murder of an aged couple
named McMaster, aunt and uncle to the
murderess, who resided a short distance
from this city.
QUOTAS FTLLED.—We are informed by
J. C. Sproul, United States recruiting
agent, that the foliowing counties have
filled their quotas by paying bounties to
volunteers: Roetraver township, 29 ;
Snowden township, 17; Jefferson town
ship, 17. Recruiting has become very
brisk since the townships have been pay•
ing bounties to recruits, and we do not
doubt that the quotas of all our wards and
townships 'might be filled if the citizens
would take early action in the matter.
COMMISSION MERCHANT.—We direct the
attention of the reader to the card of B. F.
Barry, Commission Merchant, No. 11
South Main street, St. Louis. Mr. Barry
refers to the Banks, Bankers and Mare
chants generally of St. Louis, and to John
D. Scully esq.,Cashier First National
Bank, Pittsburh. He is reliable busi
ness man, and those who may entrust
consignments to him may rely upon
promptitude and fidelity on his part.
SoltrrniNo Sgssoltint.r.—Lee's Russia
boot and shoe preserver, warranted to
keep snow and water from penetrating the
leather, has been tested and found to be
the only preserver that will answer the
purpose designed. It will also keep the
test dry and comfortable, and make the
leather wear one third longer. For sale

PARDOV OP H. H. WILLIAId9.—We learn
that H. H. Williams of Westmoreland
county, who was convicted by Court Mar
tial of desertion and sentenced to be shot,
and whose execution was to have taken
place some days-since, has been pardoned
by the President. Every preparation for
the execution had been made; the grave
dug, the coffin made, six muskets loaded
with ball cartridge and handed to those
who were to use them, and who had taken
their position, and the remaining six were
being loaded with blank cartridge. Twen
ty minues yet remained when the messen
ger arrived with the pardon. The scene
which took place during the preparations
for the execution were of a most heart
sickening character. A young man, in
the prime of life, a deserter from the cause
which he voluntarily swore to defend and
maintain with hie life, was about to suffer
the just penalty for his crime. His life
has been mercifully spared, and hie ease
should be a warning to all who take upon
themselves obligations which they do not
wish to meet.
ALLEGHENY WA.TEE —The purity of the
water from the Allegheny river has long
been the boast of our citizens; we must
now give it np and acknowledge to the
daily absorption of the most villainous
compounds of acids and oils. The taste
and smell of the Allegheny water is nn•
bearable, and demands at once the atten
tion of the authorities—whether to abolish
refineries on the river or give a little more
attention to the water works in the city
we are indifferent, bat that immediate
steps must be taken to core the evil we are
clear. Better get back to pumps upon
every corner, or draw muddy water from
the Monongahela than suck in benzole or
noxious gases from the residinum of a
dozen refineries. If these nuisances can•
not be reached by the city authorities, it
should cause an immediate movement in
favor of consolidation for at least muni•
cipal purposes. Will the City Fathers
give a little attention to this matter and
give us the benefit of their wisdom'.
HEAVY RossERY.—A, R. Mc()ow an, of
Ohio, on hie way East, was robbed of
$86,000 at the Orphans' Fair in Pitts,
burgh, a few delta ago—the money having
been extracted from the inside pocket of
his dross coat, and consisting of sixteen
$l,OOO, eighteen $6O O , eighty $lOO and
forty F.-5 0 notes.—Baltimore Sun.
The above waif has been going the
rounds of the press. If Mr. A.. R. Mc-
Gowan, of Ohio, was robbed of any money
in Pittsburgh on his way East, he did not
loose it at tte Orphans' Fair. No pre
sume that the whole thing was a chimera
of Mr. McGowan, he neither being poe•
sassed of $i3,000, nor did he loose a sin
gle cent in this city.

RESPECT TO THE LATE STEPHEN C. Fos-

Pittsburgh composer, will he exceedingly

Col. Hull, when but a youth, volunteered

lines for the only purpose of attaining
possession of their property, and who con
fess such to be the case, have thus far fail
ed. Judze Heaton, who has the entire
charge of all abandoned property here,
takes the ground that it is not the inten—
tion of the Government to encourage dis•
loyalty, acd disloyal persons designing to
obtain possession of their property under
the President's proclamation, must first
give conclusive evidence of their intention
to keep in good faith the oath required of
them, and that they have come into oar
lines for the purpose of becoming loyal
citizens, and not for the sole purpose of
obtaining their property. Many persons
have openly confessed that they did not
consider the required oath bindi g, and
they did not intend to respect it after ob
taining possession of their property. This
decision will, however, frustrate their
plans, develop the right kind of loyalty,
and save the Government many millions
of dollars.
The conservative papers in this State
are in open rebellion against the whole
conscription act now before the rebel Con

the act bacomee a law.
