Fire Allegheny.—About t 2 o'clock last
night a fire broke out in Allegheny city, near
Seminary Rill, which destroy ed a large amount
of property. " Owing to the lateness of the hour
it is impossible for us to obtain particulars.
Annual Plc-Nle.—The Society of Bt. Vin
cent De Paul, attached to the Cathedral of this
city, will hold their Annual Pic-Nie or Festival
on Wednesday July 27th, at Glenwood. The
managers are doing all they can to make this
pic-nic pleasing and • agreeable. A celebrated
band of music will attend and the enjoyment
will no doubt be unbounded. Ail kinds of whole
a)me and nutritious refreshments will be on
the groupd, and will be served when called for.
Let the young folks wake up and prepare fora
days recreation. The season for pic-nics will
soon be over, but those who derive enjoyments
from meetings of this kind, will have one op
portunity at least. (or indulging their tastes
Then, aa ft benevolent object, this festival should
not be overlooked.or forgotten. The charitable
feature of this gala-day, only tends to make the
anticipation of enjoyment the sweeter. Money
is not scarce and it cannot be given for a better
purpose.
The Grab' liflevator.—This building Is
progressing rapidly. The stone work of the
basement la neatly completed and preparations
are being made for running up the wood work
as fast as possible. The upper portion of the
building will be composed entirely of square
timber spiked together. Contracts for timber
have been made at many different places in or
der to have a good supply procured in time.
Thirty-rive hundred kegs of spikes have also
been ordered. The building is nearly one hun
dred and twenty feet square, and when flniabed
wilt ce nearly two hundred feet high. The basin
on top of the hill may be seen from the top of
this structure when It Is completed. 11 is lo
cated in close proximity to the terminus of the
Pennsylvania Fort Wayne & Chicago and Steu
benville railroads.
Railroad Meeting.—A meeting of the
French Creek Railroad Company was held at
the Boardof trade }Ultima, on Wednesday after
noon, the 20th but.
On motion •Gen. Robert Orr was called to
the chair, and Cleo. H. 'Holtzman was appocol

Murray and G, H. Holtzman, The meeting theft
adjourned, and the new board elected Wm. K..
ecq., President. No other business of
Importance wag transacted.
Seared but not Hurt.—As we passed along
Seventh street yesterday we observed a man
rolling several hogsheads oil a dray towards the
door of a produce store. Just as one of the
hogsheads rolled off a little girl about eight pass
ed along leading another about two or three
years of age. The hogshead struck both and
knocked them over. We felt sure they would
be crushed to death, and they would have been
if the hogshead had been full, but as it was en
tirely empty It only frightened the little girls
causing them to cry lustily. Neither of them ,
were hurt. Had these vessels been full more
care would doubtless have been Observed in roll
ing.them from the dray to the pavement
Educational Fnnd.—We often hear of
educational funds, which belong either to the
public or the charitable associations, but it is
seldom indeed that we bear of Railroad Corpo
rations appropriating funds for educational
purposes. The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany some time ago appropriated fifty thousand
dollars aa a fund to be used in educating the
orphans of deceased soldiers and sailors. The
Legislature at its last session conferred on
Thomas ;H. Burrowes of Lancaster power to
superintend this fund, and a plan for carrying
the object into elect will be published in a few
days. But few companies make bequests of
this nature.
Draft in the 23d District.—Business will
be suspended during the entire coming week at
Headquarters, Allegheny, as the Board of En
rollment will be absent in Butler and Arm
strong counties during )hat length of time.
The work is filling the quota required of them,
has already been inaugurated in some of the
eutKllstricts, so that their quota will soon be
completed. The sooner.we return the entire
number of stistunteers required of us, the better
it will be for us, as we will in this manner be
enabled to meet all emergencies, without being
embarrassed will former quotas.
A Frightful Accident.—We regret to
chronicle the death of Wm Ray, an energetic
and highly respectable citizen of Adams county,
who was thrown from or fell in front of a mow
ing machine which be was attending in a mead
ow. The machine passed over his body and sev
ered one leg entirely from the body. Notwith
standing the frightful and painful injuries he re
ceived, he lived fur four days and retained his
senses unimpaired, arranging hie earthly buel.
nese, and preparing to upon the voyage of
eternity.
Interesting Derision.—Provost Marshal
General Fry of Washington City had tnade
the following decision in regard to military
duty. "Men furnished under the call of July
lath, whether 'enlisted for one, two, or three
years, as well as all excess or deficiency of three
years' men on calls heretofore made, will count
as man for man. The equalization of the
amount of military servicerendered by deficient
States and parts of States, will be effected
hereafter."
Raising a Element Nest.—A farmer who
lives on Squirrel Hill, In Peebleis township,
was annoyed With a nest of hornets in one of
his fields. In order tct get rid of the nuisance he
took some straw and set fire to^ the neat, which
completely destroyed the hornets and five tone
of hay besides, which at forty dollars per ton
makes the victory over the hornets rather ex
pensive. He came near burning up the erCIPB of
his neighbors also. Truly every sweet has Its
sting.
Sixth Ward Meeting.—The citizens of
the 6th Ward held a meeting Wglnesday night in
regard to raising the quota of men under the late
600,000 call. The object of the meeting was to
appoint a committee to open books and raise
money enough to afford an ample bounty and
then fill the quota of the Ward by volunteers.
Every citizen la to assist the committee and
headquarters is to be at Alderman Butler's
office.
Revolted States. —Gov. Curtin has an
nounced that he is now prepared to appoint
agents to recruit for this State in Rebel States.
This power less granted him by an Act of Cori•
gress passed Stay 4th, 1961. Appointments will
be made as soon as honest agents can be found.
Competent and reliable men are wanted to re
cruit in the rebel States. Let Pittsburgh pre

"On account of the remarkable long dry spell,
the late chip tve believe will be a failure fh this

dried up, and the oats crop has been injured to
a great extent.
Quire Cool.—Although no rain fell in this
place yesterday worth noticing, yet the atmos_
phere has become quite cool and bracing. The
streets are as dusty as ever and the cool, brisk
wind blowing keeps it stirring, to the great an
noyance of people in the streets.

The \F ool T rad e
The I' S. kconomis! of the 10th says
"(Jut ad, ice to wool growers and importers is
to hot.' on, and for manufacturers to buy all they
can get. There le no reason at alt why wool
should decline and there Is a dozen reasons why
it should advance. In December last tierce wool
was Oat attiOc when gold was 150 and now gold Is
250 and the duty on foreign largely Increased, yet
the advance on domestic is not In proportion.
July and August are months in which the wool
trade is aliens stagnant, and this year is no ex
ception, especially now on a tight money mar
ket."
The Ohio Farmer of the 16th says:
“In sore of the het wool districts in Ohio
prices have ran freely at 31 06ia1 10 for wool
troth tint hands. According to present informa
tion we should say that nine-tenths of the wool
of Oluu has passed out of the hands of the pro
ducers."
From the beat infornantion we can obtain we
are satisfied four-fifths of the whole wool clip of
1b64 has paased into the hands of manufacturers
and speculators (The producers not now hold
ing exceeding one-fifth of the clip of the United
States.
Prices in this and adjoining counties continue
firm at 950 to $1 10 iR it., and we feel certain
mart Boon advance.
