LOCAL AFFAIRS.
Matquitoes.—The Scientific American describes the
origin of these annoying insects as follows : " Those
pests of summer proceed from the animater:kJ, com•
monly termed the wiggle+tails.' If a bowl of water
is placed in the summer's sun for a few days, a num
ber of wiggle-tails ' will be visible and will con
tinue to increase in size until they reach three-six
teenths of an inch in length, remaining longer on
the surface as they approach maturity, as if seeming
to live on influence derived from the two elements of
air and water; finally they will assume a chrysalis
form, and by an increased specific gravity sink to the
bottom; a few hours only will elapse when a short,
black farce or hair will grow oat on every side of each,
it assumes the form of a minute catterpiller. Its spa
cific gravity being thus counteracted, it is veafte3
the side of the bowl by the slightest breath
. of
In n short time a fly will bo hatched and escapo,
leaving its tiny hours on the surface of the water.
Any one who has had a cistern in the yard tins doubt
less observed the same effect every summer, althoug_
he may be ignorant of the beautiful and simple pro
cess c.f doveloperneet. If a pitcher of cistern or other
water is placed in a close room over night, from
whtsh all mosquitoef: have been excluded, enough
mosquitoes will breed from it during the night to
give any amount of trouble." The necessity of
keeping yards and the surface of the ground near
houses, entirely free from stagnant water, in order to
diminish the numbsrs of these "night birds," is evi
dent.
A ['set Race.—Frcd. Kent, Mary Kent and Lizzie
Cross,
well known to the Allegheny police, were be
fore Mr4 - or Stuck:nth yesterday morning, as it.
seemed at they had get lei:ether, and after partak
ing rather freely of corn juice, kicked up a bit of a
row, As Mary did not behave as boisterously as the
most she was discharged, but commitments for twenty
days each were made out against the other two, and
ofticer Adams was despatched with them to jail.
Lizzie followed in his wake, while he watched his
male prisoner, until the party reached Smithfield
street, when she quietly turned down street and tock
to her heels. The once: held on to his other pris
oner, and tock him to h;s destinati.m, when, on reach
ing the jail c.,p;od Liz-le coming; up Diamond
alley. 110 gave chase, and after a sharp race down
Rose street, overtook her and delivered her to Jailor
Philips. On reaching the jail end finding that her
term was twenty instead of two, as sho be
lieved, she war, thunderstruck, and declared that had
she known it "she would hare run a good deol faster
for twenty days."
B.,ggqge.—Tho baggage of the supposed
murderer, Jacoba, consisting of five large chests,
which arrived in the city early in the week, was
thoroughly overhauled end examined at the Mayor's
csoe yesterday, for the purpose of finding evidence,
if po:siblo. Not a single scrap of paper was found
in the chests, not a letter cr document of any de.
scripticm. The chests were filled with valuable
clothing, of which there was a large quantity. The
only important discovery made was the finding of a
pair cf bullet moulds and some twenty-seven balls,
east in it, which exactly tit-the weapon found near
the murdered woman. A wrench for screwing and
uncerewing the barrel of the pistol was also found.
This discovery leaves no room for doubt as to the
weapon from which the unfortunate woman received
her death-wound, and the finding of these articles in
his chest will be strong evidence against Jacob,, if
he is over capturod. Vie believe it is intended to
dispose of these effects by public sale and apply the
proceeds to the benefit of Jacoba's children.
Fie Nic.—A pie nic, which promises to be the
pleasantest of the season, will como off to-day at
13aldaff 's orchard, between Birmingham and Browns
town. The ladies of the Et. John's Church, for the
benefit of the schools belonging to which the pro
ceeds will be applied., have spared no pains in mak
ing ample preparations for the expected visitors. A
sumptuous dilater wilt be served up, and a platform
has been erected for those who wish to dance ; a fine
band of music will bo in attendance. Omnibusses
will leavo the corner of Fouth and Market streets
for the ground.
Caught in the Act.—On Tuesday night about twelve
o'clock, as Mr. Scott was passing along in the vicini
ty of Lorenz's glass works in West Pittsburgh, he
observed two men loading boxes of glassware into a
skiff. Suspecting from this lateness of the hour that
all was not right, he gave the alarm, and the two
men were srrested. They were taken before 'Squire
Williams, of Teraperancevilic, who, after en exami
nation, fully opmmitted them far trial on a charge of
larceny. Several boxes of were had been loaded
into the skiff. Their names are John R. Johnston
and Peter O'Brian.
The Undine Chik—We enjoyed a very pleasant
excursion a few. miles down the river in the eight
oared barge " Undino," on Tuesday evening, having
accepted an invitation from a member of the club to
accempany them. She is a fine'boat, and moves
through the water smoothly and rapidly. The mem
bers of the Undine Ciub aro clover, sociable', gentle
men, and if they don't win the race next week, they
ought to. We stated an Tuesday that bets were
offering of two to one cn the Darling. The gentle
men of the Undino Club say they aro willing to take
all bets against the Putman in the race, tvith er
without odds.
Gymnastics.—Our Steubenville neighbors have or
ganized a Gymnastic Association, and fitted up a
building provided with the necessary fixtures for the
exercise of the muscles.
By the way, what has become of ihb Pittsburgh
Polytechnic Association? We fear that the dog
days have had a bad effect on the members, and that
they feel disincrmcd to exercise -41nring the heated
term. Perhaps the row boat extitenactit has taken
its place. We expect to see this" institution" revive
during the winter months.

Cricket.—A match of cricket will lie played to-day
on the grounds at Oakland, betwolm the married
and single players of the two cities. The benedicts
of both the Olympic Club of Pittsburgh ,and the
Union Club of Allegheny have combined against the
bachelors of the same clubs. Fifteen players have
been selected on each side, and the match will com
mence in the morning and continue all day. No
doubt it will be a fine day's sport. The chances are
rather in favor of the married men.
Poplar alley is inhabited by a hard population.
Yesterday morning, Alderman Rogers sent two wo
men from this locality to jail, ono on complaint of a
neighbor, and ono on her own confession, as va
grants. They were both stout, able bodied women,
fully competent to earn their oWn living, were it not
for the evil influence of strychnine whisky- Agnes
Conlin said sho had no home, and Mrs. Pendegrast
would'nt stay at her home which she had. Tho
Board of Guardians ware notified to take charge of
the children of the let or.
Bites and .Stings.—A-noted medical journal recom
mends all persons visiting the country to take with
thorn a bottle of tho cpirits of hartshorn, and in ease
of being bitten or.stnng by any poisonous animal or
insect, the immediate free application of the alkali
as a wash to that part bitten, gives instant,. perfect
and permanent relief, the bite of a mad dog not ex
cluded. Strong ashes and water aro also said to be a
remedy.
Ifoonligtit Parade.—The Jackson Independent
Blues, Washington'lnfantry ago' Birmingham Guards
are expected to parade tomorrow evening by moon
light. IVe think this much more sensible than to
tramp through the streets in heavy uniform under
the hot sun.
Everyone who knows how, rends, and nearly every
body reads the current literature in the shape of the
- eastern weeklies. J. B. D. Clark, of No. 4 Girard
'House, always has the freshest of these, together
with ether valuable reading matter, fine tobacco,
cigars, .1e: ° Give him a call at the corner of Third
and Smithfield streets..
Another Wife Beater.—Elenry Shah,: 148 sent to
jail twenty days by Mayor Stuckrath yosterday on
oath of his wife who states that he abused her, and
threatened her life. Ho was laboring under delirium
tiemeng when arrested.

Use tht. Steel Pen.—No longer is there any restraint
in the Ilse of the steel pen. That time has gone by
and in a few years the eteel pen will be more need
than ever. Long has been the desire of tho ink
manufacturer to obtain an article that possesses all
the substantial qualities and at the same time ba
totally free from acids. Many have given up with
despair and rail against the idea. This oounteraotion
is fully perfected in Clark's Non -Corroding Fluid,
which admits the pen to retain its original qualities,
which it cannot show by any other Fluid in exis
tence. To be had at Clark's News Depot, corner of
Smithfield and Third.
thlad Newe Full of Hope to the Afflicted and
Suffering.—Many of the thousand portals of Death
may be,clased, and life made happier and more com
fortable to thousands who aro now in danger. Doubt
less this world contains many a balm to soothe its
physical woes and care its diseases. Among those,
in prominent rank, stands Bowman's Vegetable
pound, a safe and speedy cure for ConsuMption.

Accidentally Shot Hinuelf—Last evening a son of
Mr. Bernard Leath, of the firm of Jones it Lauth, of
this city, a young man about eighteen years of age,
accidentally shot himself at his father's house in
Birmingham, with a pistol.
He was loading the pistol in his own room, when
it exploded, and the ball struck him in the side,
passing around the ribs, and coming out at the back.
The wound, although a painful one, we are happy to
learn, is not like to result seriously.

Weekly Review of Pittsburgh Markets
Prrrounen, July 28, LB5B
Since our last business generally has undergone bat little
change. This is emphatically tho "dull season," and a
largo proportion of our business men have taken advantage
of It by retiring to the country with their families.
Prices, with a few exceptions, remain the same. Owing
to a very limited supply in market, Flour has advanced
some 76 cents per barrel during the week. Oats ,:ontinue
high, but nearly the entire stock has been purchased on
sp,:culstion. The present price of Fleur will pro'hably be
maintained for a week or ten days, owing to the I,)w stage
of water, and the hi :h rates of freight.
A few lots of now wheat have come in, and found pur_
cha'ers at 90®96c. per bushel.
The dome nd for Pittsburgh manufactures is confined to
small orders, and the glass and iron men are waiting for the
opening of the fall trade, most of the works having ens
peoded for repairs.
In the Money market there ie no change, the Banks and
Brokers having a little less than the usual amount of Mai.
nese at this season. Eastern Exchange still remains at the
figures quoted last wesk—!„,i, per cent, premium for par, and
% for currency—with a supply equal to the requirements of
the business community.

A S AN EFFICIENT, safe and convenient
touic, catuartic and anti dvapeptic medicine, these
Pills are recommended to the public by the former propri
etor, (DR. WILSON,) with a confidence such ss a long con•
tinned and careful trial of them in an emple practice war
!ants. In their operation as a cathartic, they influence
more the motory and less ihe soca - I:ling power of the bowels
than any other combination in common use.
AS A TONIC—They agrje,with the most delicate nom•
rich, removing nausea paiff, and debility from that organ,
and through it impart tone and vigor to the whole system.
AS AN ANTI-DYSPEPTIC -They neutralize and inter
rupt the formation of acids, check fermentation, and pre
vent the elimination of gases from the food in the stomach,
—the direct consequences of chemical action,—an action
which should never exist In the human stomach. From
these peculiaritjon in the Pills., a person taking them may
expect a free, full and natural evacuation of the bowels,
without pain, nausea, local or general debility, or that dis
gusting siekness or costiveness—tho usual effects which at
tend or follow the use of other,parges.

From Colonel Win. Hopkins, late Canal Commissioner.
WGSNINOTON, Pa. January 8, 1858—Dear Doctor: I have
been using your "Anti-Dyspeptic" Pills, when occasioned
required, for many years, and can truthfully say that' have
never found any medicine equal to them in relieving me
from affections of the stomach and head. They have never
failed to relieve me from headache, and have always left
my system in better condition they found it. I must confi.
deafly recommend your Pills as a safe and highly valuable
medicine. Very respectfully, etc.,
DR. R. ADAMS WILSON. WM. HOPKINS.
Prom Thos. Blau more, Esq., Treasurer of Allegheny Co.,
To it. It. A. Wation.—Dear Rir : I have been using your
Pills since 1840, and do decidedly say they are the best Pill
in nee, or that Phave any knowledge of. I first used them
for "sick hoadaehe," with which I suffered beyond descrip.
Una ; I am happy to say, that they entirely cured me. Since
then I Rs^ them as a family medicine : if I am bilious, or
anything ails me, and I require medium°, I take a Pill,and
it cures me; they are my only medicine, and have been for
the last seventeen years. THOS. BLAOIIIIORE.

experience in the use of the extraordinary Pill compounded
by Dr. It. Adams Wilson, of which you are now the propri

case for " nervous headache," arming from a disordered con•
ditiou of the stomach. I have likewise prescribed them for
others, irt cases of hemitrania" and other f firms of head
ache depending on a deranged and irritable condition of the
stomach and digestive organs, of which they seem peculiar

I regard them as a very valuable Pill, and ono that purges

Dr.An Mend`,—The reputation of the Medical Discovery,
in curing all kind of humors,
is so well established by the
unanimous voice of all who have ever used it, that I need
not say anything on the subject, as the moat skilful physi
cians and the most careful Druggists in the country are un
animous in its praise.
In presenting the Medical Discovery to your notice, I do
tt with a full knowledge of the curative power. in relieving
all, and curing most of those diseases in which you are un
fortunately so liable. That moat excruciating disease to an
affectionate mother.
NURSING SORE MOUTH,
Is cured as If by a cairaclo; your own temper is restored to
Ita natural sweetness, and your babe from short and fretful
naps to calm and sweet slumbers ; and the Medical DIEICOTO
, r becomes a fountain of blessing to your husband and
b on ,ehold.

DYSPEPSIA,
which Is nothing but conker of the atom it;

the cares of your family.
Your stomach is
RAW AND INFLAMED',
your food diatrosia,s you, and you can only take certain
kinds and even of that your system does not get half the
nourishment it contains 99 the acrimonous fluid of the maker
eats it up; then your complexion loses its l'loom and be
comes sallow or greenish, and your best day is gone. For
want of nourishment your system becomes twee and flabby,
and the fibres of your body become relaxed. Then follow a
train of diseases which the Medical 'Discovery Is peculiarly
adapted to
CURE;
Palpitation of the heart, pain in the Bide, wet r.eris of the
'mine and small of the back, pain of the hip joint when you
retire, irregularity of the bowels, and also, tie at most excra.

How many thousands of poor women are suffering from
this disease and pining away a miserable life, and their next

MEDICAL DISCOVERY
you have both the preventative and the cure, rith thin great

Psor. O. J. Wood—Dear Sir :—I have him ti much said of
the wonderful effects of your Hair Restorat Ive;but having
i,en so often cheated by quackery and tack nostrums,
hair dyea, &c., I was disposed to place yo ir ...Restorative in
the same category with the thousand and o as loudly trum
peted quack remedies, until I met you in tarmac° county
some months since, when you gave me sus assurance as
induced the trial of }'our Restorative in my family—first by
my good wife, whose hair had become ver, y thin and en.
tirely white, and before exhausting one of your large bot
tles, her hair was restored nearly to its or lgincl beautiful
brown color, and had thickened and becom a beautiful and
glossy upon, and entirely over the head; a Se continues to
use it, not simply because of its beautify lug effects upon
the hair, but because of its healthful lad senoe-npon the
head and mind. Others of my family and f donde arousing
your Restorative ' with the happiest effects herefore, my
skepticism and doubts in reference to its character and
value are entirely removed; I can and do and most cor
dially and confidentially recommend its ise by all who
would have their hair restored from whice or gray (by rea
son of sickness or age,) to original color and !beauty and.bv
all young persons who would have their hai r beautiful and
sinewy. Very truly and grafetillY yor cra,
SOLO MON MANN.
FDISOID WOOD: It was a long t [me afte r I saw you at
Blisafleld before I got the bottle of nester ative for which
you gave me an order upon your al pant in D. stroit, and when
I got it we concluded to try it on 1 drs. Man We hair, as the
surest teat of its power. It has (lane all that yon assured
me it would do• and others of my family and friends,
having witnessed its effects, arena w using and recommend•

you claim for it.
Again, very respectfully an d trnly, yours,
