PITTSBURGH MECHANICS. — Oet Of a list of
boats owned in St. Louis, 22 were built at Pittsbwgh,
and 6 in the adjacent towns, and nearly every one of
them was finished here. What better evidence could
there be of the surpassing skill of our Pittsburgh Me
chanics? As a consequence of constructing so many
steamboats, our workmen are able to build them cheap
er and better than it can be done anywhere else; and
then, there is no city in the West where the elegant fur
biture and appointments for which our Western steam
boats are so celebrated, can be purchased so cheaply
and so advantageously asin Pittsburgh. And last,
the' not least, boats can be supplied with Evans' Safe
ty Guard, put on under the immediate inspection of
the ingenious inventor, a man whose great mechanical
genius has given him an enviable eminence among
the mechanics of the Unite,! States.—With all these
advantages it is not strange that Pittsburgh should out
strip all the rival cities of the West in this branch of
business—andffirough these advantages, she must al
ways maintain the ascendancy she has obtained.
DRY GOOD.S.—The enterprise and industry of our
wholesale merchants will soon make our city a favor
• ite resort for dry goods dealers from all parts of the
great west. Our city, just now, contains a larger and
more varied assortment of dry goods than at any fOr-
Mier period. Among these. none can he found superior
for either country or city dealers, to the stock offered
by Messrs. HAMPTON &SMITH, whose advertisement
'appears in another column. To those who take pride
in home manufactures, they offer, among ether things,
an article of Beaver cloth, manufactured in Philadel
phia from wool grown in our own county ! Nye are as
sured. that, owing to the sudden rise of goods in the
Eastern Markets, dry goods can now be bought here
cheaper than in any Eastern city. .Purchasers should
bear this in mind.
MORE DROWNING OF A FISH
The coasts of Malabar, in the East Indies, are beset
with sea monsters of the zrost rapacious propensities.
Amongst these the shark (particularly the blue shark)
is conspicuous for his daring; a circumstance Which
has produced among the natives a necessity for coun
teraction. What was once the terror of these people,
has now become their sport. No sooner does a Malay
perceive a shark hovering around the serge of the bay,
than he quietly slides himself into the water, lest he
should affright his enemy; and here with no other itn
plemmt of attack or defence than a hard wood itick of
eighteen inches long and two in diameter, sharpened
at both ends, he awaits the approach of his assailant,
hut certain victim. The shark, having eyed his inten
ded prey, approaches with apparent caution; sometimes
recedes, and again approaches in a different direction,
as if selecting the most advantageous position and point
at which to secure his object with certainty. Having
at length satisfied his cautionary instinct, and meas
ured his distance, both fur grasp arid span, he partly
turns on his side (his mouth beim* ° in tinder position.)
—Now is the critical moment. No sooner dues the
monster open his frightful jaws, than, with the celerity
otlightiing, his antagonist thrusts his stick, in an up
right position into the yawning chasm. The shark
being thus ga.7,ged, and unable, unless at the expense
df intoleralble pain, to press the stick through his jaws
and thus close them, is compelled to swallow the was
terin copious draughts, till at length he becomes gorged
and soon expires in his own clement, when ns a sure
mink, he becomes the prey of his previously intended
Ticcit.-=After Gotehe, nu name in Germany recalls
to mind more varied talents and greater literary success
than that of Tieck. His comedies Mier to the reader a
temarkable admixturt, of original humor and imagina
tion, broad face, and Netic gracefulness. His other
productions are somewhat vague, and occasionally ob
scure; but his poetry pleases on account of its amiable
freedom and itagrent harro,my. To the gift of no im
agination which is by tim's caustic and bold and at
others Satarical or melancholy, - flck unit , !s a talent
which few possess--..a power of criticism, in t w world
of which he holds the first rank amongst Gorman wri
ters. Tieck wrote much upon Shakspere; and thanks
to Mungiear A. W. de Schlegel, the German can appre
ciate and witness upon the stages of their theatres the
performance in their own tongue of the Mays of oar im
mortal bard. Tieck. it appears, used also to read
Shakspera's plays, and perforated this task with a force
and energy which showed how deeplydie entered into
the spirit of the writings and the meaning of the swan
I .of Avon.

was for money mostly to aggrandise the Russian Em

England have got for the years of starvation they have
endured'in consequence, is the glow-worm reputation
of Wain' gton, which is a reflection of the dissensions

AT the solicitation of a number of friends of all
political parties, I respectfully offer myserf to
the consideration of my fellow-citizens for the office of
County Commissioner. That my sentiments may not
be misunderstood, either as to political or private
affairs, I make free to say that I have been all my life
a consistent Republican, in the true sense of the word.
As the country is somewhat embarrassed in its finan
cial affairs, and the reduction of salaries of public
officers has received the approbation of large majori
ties of the people, the undersigned would not should
he be so fortunate as to be elected, in any manner at
tempt to resist this salutary reform; should it reach
the office of County Commissioner.

liver complaints, with pain in the side and shoulder,
jaundice, bilious complaints, dropsy, diabetes, gravel,

removed and cured by the HEPATIC ELIXIR.
This article has the most astonishing effects in curing
all complaints of the stomach and digestive org - ans.—,
Many highly respectable individuals in New York
have been cured. alter trying every other remedy in
vain, and have given in theirnames with permission_ to
refer to them. It is pleasant to the taste, and does
not in the least interfere with the daily avocation of one
taking it.. Many families of this city have become so
pleased svith the medicine, that they use it as their
only family medicine. By using it occasionally, it
keeps the stomach free from bilious disorders, and the
liver active, with the secreticos of the body in the most
perfect activity. It is composed entirely of vegetables.
The cure will be gradual, but certain and permanent.
