CABIMFIi RICHTER. South ale, Nov. 12-6w' Administrator. WEEKLY OBSERVER ERIE, PENN'A, DECEMBER 8, 1868 LARGEST CIRCULATION. The Observer ha, the Largest circulation of any paper In N. W. Perm's, either Daily er Weekly. On this -point we chaUerige contradiction. Its cireada. Lion extends to ail places of importance in Erie, Crawford, Warren and Venan go counties. A Valuable Acquisition. We are gratified in being able to announce that our former partner, Mr. James I. Brecht, under whose management that branch of our business first rose into prcis - perity, has again taken charge of the Observer Jobbing Office, and will give it his undivided attention in future. Mr. Brecht is well known to be a printer of rare taste and skill, of good moral character, courteous in his manners, and pop- ular wherever he is known: He brings to the business increased experience and energy, and we confidently expect a heavy addition to our jobbing patronage in consequence of his,connection with the office. We invite calls from all in need of Pfinting, promising them as good work, as low prices and as satisfactory treatment in,all respects as they can obtain anywhere. SENATOR Dtiomyrr.it.—We regret to learn that this distinguished gentleman, whose magnificent speeches in this city during the late campaign and that of 186 G, will long re main impressed upon the memories of our citizens, will leave the Senate at the close of his term on the fourth of March in very moderate circumstances. He has concluded to re-enter the practice of law, in order to obtain a livelihood, and will open an office in Chicago, where his abilities will undoubt edly- soon win him a large practice. ' While there are few who will not regret that Senator Doolittle has not been more fortunate in his financial interests, that fact is of itself one of the noblest tributes to his moral worth and official integrity. A Senafor who could serve twelve years at Washington, during the corrupt era through which Senator Doo little's term extended, and lay down his hon ors poorer in pocket than when he left home, is a man whose honesty not even the most maligumt foe will dare to question. POOR HOUSE PARIL—We understand that ..the Commissioners arc milking a careful ex amination preparatory to the purchase of a fart, with the object of securing one that will best subserve the interests of the county. Quite a number have been offered, awl it is a somewhat difficult matter to decide which is the best for the purpose. We feel as sured from the character of the Commission ers that nothing will be done hastily nor without judicious investigation, and that when the choice is made it will be such as will meet the approval of all disinterested citizens. It is designed that the new Poor House shall be as nearly self supporting as possible, and steps are being taken'to con nect a work department with it that will afford the inmates Steady and useful em ployment. A Committee has visited the most celebrated institutions of this and other States to learn the best system in practice there, and the.n4v Poor House will be built in accordance with the information thus se xv. .....need m tne assertion that when the building is finished it will be an institution every way worthy of the coun ty and fully up to the spirit of the age. EAtiLE CAI.-TuRBD BY A WOILAN.—The Warren Mail relates an incident that occur red in that county on the 23d of November, which is probably without a parallel, and en titles the heorine to be ranked among the no table women of the age. "Mrs. Rachel D. Wright, of Pittsfield, while visiting her moth er on York Hill, at the aforementioned date, heard an unusual noise among the chickens, and stepping out to the door saw what she supposed to be a hawk holding a fierce con flict with a sturdy old hen. Without scarce ly a second thought she ranup and seized the.bird by the neck and succeeded in cap turing what proved to be a monster Ameri can Eagle, measuring six feetsix inches from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other. It matle.no serious resistance, submitting with good grace, as many a strong warrior has done before, to the will of woman. She took her prize to her house in Pittsfield, where it attracts large numbers of curious people, and though seemingly somewhat hu miliated, takes a very reasonable view of his imprisonment, and haughtily submits to the scrutiny of the public." WE ARE informed that a movement is on foot to have some of the Federal offices in this city filled with soldiers under Grant's Administration. According to rumor, they have already been promised to certain parties, but the soldiers claim' that they have the power to break the slate, and seem deter mined to make the trii}l. They say that they helped as much to elect Grant as the professional politicians, and insist that they are as justly entitled to the reward. The Post Office:4s the especial object oftheir am bition, but they will not refuse to take any additional office which may be offered. We hear the nameg of several well known sol diers named in connection with the former office, and if the boys in blue can unite upon one man there is little doubt that he will be chosen. The community generally will pre fer a soldier to a pelitician, lay or clerical, and with Gen. Grant's sympathies so strongly in favor of fighting men, the chances all look encouraging for The success of the move ment. DILFENDORF, GROSS tE FOSTER.—Among the many enterprising business - firms in our city, we know of none that we can more heartily recommend than the one above men tioned. By their straight-forward dealing, and the pains they take to satisfy the wants of the public, the firm have built up a repu tation second to none t iin the North-west. Their store is never at loss for customers, even at this unusually ull season, and it is conceded that in their especial line they offer unrivalled inducements. Their stock of car petings and house furnishing ioods is large and varied, and well worth the attention of all who intend purchasing articles of that de scription. They do a heavy business in the manufacture 'of lounges, some specimens of which that have been shown to ns equal the finest Eastern manufacture. Tug Philadelphia Press complains that, in the estimate of appropriations asked of Con gress for 1869, "Erie harbor is allowed but $39,000, while just next to it comes Buffalo harbor at $270,000. Dunkirk, a well-nigh abandoned port," the Press adds, "figures for $50,000. 'Hudson river improvement' gets $160,000, and 'East river, N. Y.,' $415,000; Delaware, river, not one cent. Massachu setts is a pretty old and rather small State,. but she manages to secure nearly $600,- 000, while Connecticut engrosses considera bly over that amount." The Press, perhaps, is not aware that this Is the way Pennsylva nians have had to play second fiddle to other States ever since n the Republican, party be came dominant in the State. If our people will continue to select representatives who care nothing for their interests, they must expect to suffer the consequences. THE Free Evening School will open on Monday evening next, in the East Ward school building, under the charge of a corps of efficient teachers. This School Is estab lished in order to give those who cannot at tend day school, an opportunity to procure an education, and in the two years of its ex istence has been instrumental In doing much good. Those desiring to attend are requested to be promptly on hand on Monday evening, at seven o'clock. Cw i , • ••els, blankets, sheetings, prin stock at 512 State street. d t. 4 2m. L. !Wm/Immo & Co.

KENNEDY KING, SOD of Hon. Alfred King, who has obtained some local celebrity as an elocutionist, will give an entertainment, to consist of select readmv, in Farrar Hall, on Saturday evening nest. THE Titusville Herald says : George W. DeCamp, Esq., formerly of Erie,has removed to Pittsburgh, where he is engage(' in the practice of law. We supposed George had taken up his permanent abode in New York city. MURDERS AND sentences for murder are the order of the day all around us. James English, who murdered James Hoban, a saloon keeper in Cleveland, Ohio, last Sep tember, was convicted on Monday, of mur der in the second degree. TUE HOLIDAY ' Will soon be here, and shrewd business men will not delay longer thun next week in making known the at tractions they have for the public. Judging by the past, the largest advertiser will do the best trade. SOMEBODY asks the question: Nip can not balls and parties he/commenced at eight o'clock as well us theatres and operas ? It is l e seldom now that dancing begins at , of our large parties before 10 1-2 or 11 o'c k, and they are then protracted ; until 4 r 5 o'clock in the morning. _ TuE Mos MENTAL FAIR will Commence in Wayne block on Monday nest, to last during.the week. The managers have been at much trouble to prepare an entertainment' that will be attractive to the public, and we hope to see their labors meet with a corres-' flooding share of encouragement. A CONVENTION, composed of delegatei from the various Lodges of Good Templars in Erie, Warren, Crawford, Vcnango, Mc- Kean, Forest and other counties, will be held in this city on the Bth and 9th insts., at which time the Hon. S. B. Chase and °Met prominent members of the order will be in attei re. - o nun new advertisements this week, that of French & McKnight possesses quite as inch interest as any. The honorable and enterprising Ammeter of this firm are too well known to need repetition, and all who read their advertisement will be convinced that everything they promise will be fulfilled to the letter. TrrE well known Hawley House in North East has been taken by Robt. 0. Hills, who many conveniences. Nobody will dispute Robert's ability to "keep a hotel," and we predict that under his management the old Brawlcy House will soon•become one of the most popular in the county., TUB Eric Co. Union Sunday School Con vention meets in Corry, on Tuesday evening, December Bth, and will last until Thursday of the same week. The people of Corry am making liberal arrangements to entertain the delegates free of charge. Invitations have been sent to Sabbath school officers in the adjoining counties of this State and New York. OUR FAIIMEIL readers, and all others who have surplus means on hand, will find the Erie Dime Savings Bank a very desirable place to deposit the same. The list of offi cers is an abundant guarantee of the safety of the institution, and the six per cent, in terest feature is worthy the attention of all who have money that is not needed for im mediate use. NAVIGATION upon the Lake has been nearly siispended,and no vessels are entering or departing from our-harbor. A stray pro peller may be seen occasionally far out In the Lake, but with few: exceptions most of the vessels have laid up for the winter. The sailor boys are willing to risk a good many hardships, but none of them fancy being caught out in the lake in a December storm. Tug CROCKERY store of W. H. Glenny, in Union Row, has been supplied with the finest assortment of goods ever brought to this section, including every article usually kept in an establishment of the kind. Among the lot is a splendid variety of English Parb an Marble, French Bronze and Plated ware, some specimen of which are exceedingly handsome productions. Our readers will find it well worth their while to step into the store and examine the goods. Mn C. W. Nicnom, a drayman living on Eighth street, west of State; retired on Sat urday night with his wife as usual. Ho happened tozl waken during the night, and, noticing that his wife was cold, struck a light. On further examination it was found that she was dead, having, it is supposed, expired from an attack of heart disease. The physicians are of the impression that she must have been dead - several hours before Mr. Nichols made the discovery. - THERE ARE young Democrats in every township and town who could occupy their spare time this winter in no better way than to canvass their localities for their local party paper. ' How many of them will act as agents for the Observer, and in that way help to strengthen our patronage at the same time that they promote the Democratic cause? Depend upon it, friends, that our party will never attain to power until you make more effort to spread Democratic (lonia° among the people. Dn. HOLLAND, better known as "Timothy TiteombP and usually esteemed a thought ful and careful writer, in a recent letter from Europe, takes very decided grounds against opening the avenues of labor to women. His reasoning will be very apt to impair his rep utation among . the sex more than the cause he so precipitately attacks. The Doctor Is in Switzerland, and seeing women working in every occupation abreast with men, em ployed and doing business as hotel clerks, merchants, farmers, mechanics, and 'also see ing general degradation and discomfort as compared with our young, half-filled coun try, ho springs to the conclusion that these things are cause and effect, and proposes his remedy—withdraw women from the field of labor and men's wages will be trebled. OUR FRIEND of the Middletown Journal says. the Indian Slimmer season "came as usual'' in that vicinity. We have only to. say that if such is the case nature has dis pensed her hospitalities with a more liberal hand along the Susquehanna than here, for we have not seen the slightest symptom of it to this date, though friendS. promised it in November without tail. The Journal inti mates that our trip up Salt River accounts for "not witnessing any signs of its appear ance." We think it more likely that our co temporaries' trip down that stream may have filled him with such jubilant spirits that he was in a state to see a great deal more than the ordinary eyesight affords. On our up ward way we met a large number descend ing, who were in an aliusually banged and battered condition, but we did not suspect our genial friend to be among the number, much less that he would ever allow himself to become so "lovely" as to mistake the ex crutiatitur fall weather of this year for the balmy Indian summer. A numon .is prevalent that Rev. Isaac George, of the Universalist denomination,. and a yeat or more ago one of the editors or the Dunkirk Journal, has' purchased an in terest I n the Republican Once, and will ixopn assume th 6 political control 'of that paper. Mr. George is said to be a gentleman of labil ity, and has tilled several responsible of lftl positions in the State of New York.. e shall regret the change if it deprives our city of the editorial services of Mr. Grady, the present political editor of the Republican mho, by his courteous and gentlemanly demean or,has won more friends thaia it Is the ordina ry lot of men to secure in so brief a period. —Since the above was in type, the rumor t has become reality, and Mr. George hai - takert his place on the staff of _our cotempomrY;, Mr. Grady goes to Washington, as associate' editor on one of the journals' of that city. EVEILYBODY in Erie county 'has heard of Locke 4.t Co.'s mammoth store, and every body knows that goods are sold there as low, if not lower, than elsewhere In this portion of the State. Mr. Locke has liven a resident of Erie but little more than a year, and in that period has built up a- trade that is the' best proof of his capacity as a business man. Jle is a firm believer in advertising, and knows how to do it in a style that pays. pis annoucemont-in another column is of Interest to all the ladies and the "rest of mankind.n, TUE Girard Crisis comes to us this week with its name changed to the Cosmopolite, and having a prosperous appearance. The' evidence that Col. Rice has been enlisting his personal energy in its favor is seen in the many columns of profitable advertisements which it contains from all parts of the coun try. The name of Cosmopolite. is chosen, the editor says, because it more fitly ex presses the position the paper is designed to occupy. t WE FIND the following in the Dispatch of Monday morning. After such an exhausting effort, the writer is entitled to a week's ab- sence from duty, for recreation : PffENOXENA.—On First avenue, a day or two ago, a child was born, the entire right side of which, including that side of its face, is totally black, fully as black as the ordinary negro. The strangest part of the affair is, that the other side is black nisi). THERE ARE rumors upon the streets of a contemplated duel between two politicians who have recently been indulging in severe comments upon one another through the local press. Seconds are said to have been chosen upon each side, the weapons and ground selected, and both parties are re ported to be diligently practising for the awful event. A litltmciviesmt in Erie is talking about the discovery of petrified remains of men in the cliffs overlooking the lake. Ile says that we in Philadelphia will soon have a chance to see one.—E.rehanqe. The people of Eric will be glad to have a look at the. specimens before they are sent abroad. They have, as yet, neither seen nor heard of any. Tut Wye of the State school for soldier's orphans at Tituiville have brought out a lit tle paper, under the happy title of The Long Roll. Number one, volume ode, which we have on our table, promises well. , The boys have the sympathies, of the nennln of thn Matt: in tneir enterprise, and we trust every man of means in our borders will give them a helping hand. WESTON commenced his walk of five thousand miles in hundred days at Bangor, Maine, on Tuesda', the Ist Inst. Among the party who accompany him are - Major T. G. Field and John G. Kibler, of Girard, who act as the representatives of Col. Rice to sec that-all is done fairly. He is expected to reach Erie some day this month. - Arm A long competltioa, the American and Merchant's Union Express Companies have been consolidated, and another era of exhorbitant charges may be looked for. The consolidated companies will have only one office in a place, and one of those in our city will soon be closed. Mn. HAMMY, for ten yeah editor of the Louisville DemOcrat, retiring from the edito rial chair, says: "The worst sin I have on my conscience is helping to make great men out of very small material." We fear there there are few editors who are free from the same reflection. ' BUFFALO is going .into the hanging busi ness by the wholesale. It is but a few weeks since a woman was sentenced to be hung there, and now another execution is to be had—Christian Garlic being sentenced to be hung December Bth. MOST OF the sidewalks about the city are sadly out of-repair, and should be attended to as soon - ns,possible. Measures for a-gen eral improvement in this respect should be inaugurated before next spring. A FAMILY left Buffalo for a Week recently, their house remaining in chargé of a servant girl, who gave a succession of balls, at which she appeared in her mistress' dresses and jewelry. TUE COURT last week was the menus of sending six persons from this county to the Penitentiary, two boys ,to the House of Refuge, and One lunatic to the Allegheny • Asylum. THERE ARti four divorce cases in progress in Crawford county, four in Warren, and about as many in Erie. Unlike Stanton in the War office, the parties won't "stick." CoI Die RICE intends goifig• into the show business on his own hook next season, and is fitting one up at Girard that is calcu lated to eclipse any heretofore in the field. COMFORT FOR Democrats, in the new -dis tribution of large loves and fat fishes—blessed are they who expect nothing, for they shall nit be disappointed. Poop. W. H. ARMSTRONG, formerly County Superintendent of this county, is in charge of the public schools of Conncautville. WE ARE requested to say that there will be preaching in the Baptist church every Sunday until further notice. ' ' Gouou's silver wedding was celebrated on Wednesday with many presents and nothing to drink. ORIENTAL TEA STORM—The great attrac tion of the we 'k has been the opening of the Oriental Tea 'Store in Noble block. For some weeks, rumors of its novelty and splen: dor have kept public expectation on tip-toe, and when it was thrown open the crowds who poured in to see it reminded one of the scenes at a popular entertainment. The walls present a succession - of Chinese landscapei, done In Chevalier's best style, and the ap pearance of the room is striking and pleasing to an unusual extent. It has cost a large amount to fit the concern up in such an ele gant manner, and the result is a store-room that has no equal outside of the Eastern cities. The enterprise of, the proprietors seems to be appreciated in the right spirit by the public, as there is scarcely a minute in the day that the store is not crowded with customers. Dn.

IMPORTANT DOCUMENT • ITtianlmosui Iteort of the Grand Jury In Regard to. County Minim A New Jail• Ordered by the Court. ; The following report of the lait Grand Jury was unanimously adopted by that body, which was composed of some of the best known citizens In the county of both parties. It considers several questions of general pub lic interest, and will command attention in all quarters. We call special notice to its suggestions in Iregar' d to the tail, county printing and the holding of a special court for naturalization purposes before each elec tion. The folloWing were the members of the Jury : lane It Taylor, Foreman, Wm. Bell, Jr., Joseph A. French, Benjamin Whitman, Wm. V. Dewey, Chas. Breed, D. Hilburn, B. M. Sherwood, J. B. Benson, I. M. White, David W. Nichols, 11. M. Curtis, Moses Hawkins !Israel Harrington, William Hawkins,! Israel Geo. Taber, E. Beardsley, G. W. Arbuckle, John Brecht. • ItEPOICT. To the Honorable thr fudges of the Court of , Quarter &mitt of Erie County: The Grand Jury inquiring for the people of the county respectfully represent that they have concluded the duties•assig,ned to them, and are prepared to receive their final. dis :tharge. The livimber of criminal cases they have been called upon - to examine shows a gratifying diminution, and it is a matter for public congratulation that among them have been few charges for offenses of the more serious class At so recent a period after our deplorable civil strife, when hundreds of young men who were drawn from the-allure meats and safeguards of social life to enter the service of the nation have scarcely yet become contentedly settlettin - their respec tive avocations, these facts t•peak more than words for the laiv abiding dispositions - of mar citizens, and effeetuallysilence the hopes of our enemies in other lands, who confidently predicted that the close of the struggle would be more dangerous to the welfare of the country than the -continuance of war itself. The public officers have in every instance exhibited an aeCornmodating disposition to promote the object of our sessions. To the Honorable Court, for its. kindness and co otieration, and tep District Attorney Lynch, for the promptncss and courtesy with•which lie has furnished us his assistance, we re turn special thanks. ' Of the cases Which have come !up for OUT consideration, More than half have been of a nature which ought never to have been heard of outside!of the localities where they originated. It would seem advisable that some plan be adopted for enabling Justices of the Pence to dispose of all criminal suits of a minor grade, anti if there is any power in the Court to Molt the number sent up at each quarter SeSsions, we suggest that itsbe administered. The present system entails heity and needless expenses upon the coun ty, is a source of unspeakable annoyance to' those who are es - impelled to leave their homes and occupations as jurors and witnesses, and does not appear to have the slightest practi cal advantage over the plan suggested. The Grand Jury, at successive sessions of Court, has referred to the inefficiency of our county jail, and the duty of either providing reforms 'in its 'construction, or_ building a new edifice commensurate with the extent and needs of the community. It is not using too strong language, to say that the present jail, in • all its features, is a disgrice to the county, and a nuisance In-the eyeiof the law. The structure is poorly arranged and venti- - lated, inadequate to the purpose for which it Was designed, and as. a place of confinement scarcely more secure than an ordinary dwell- : rPt.tx .ralletimannalwas "nr.v.nwal..a/taa. to rm their trust I witha conscientious regard for duty, but find it- impossible, with all their care, to keep the building in a pure and credi table condition. A prison, to fully accom plish its purpose,should provide agamsLeasy or frequent communication between the in mates, and for the separation of the worse grades of criminals from those who are com mitted for lighter offences. It should be amply provided with all the modern devices for protecting the health and comfort of the prisoners, consistent with a faithful regard for the spirit of, the law. In each of these essential features the present structure is no toriously deficient, The prison6s are kept indiscriminately in the department, set apart fOr-their sex, and have every opportunity to concoct such titans as - malice or mischief may suggest. Good and bad, young and old, guilty and innocent, associate with each oth er at will. Theise who are steeped in vice becoine confirmed by wicked example, while the inevitable effect must be to corrapt - those who have taken their-first lesson in crime, or, it may be, are guiltles's entirely and mere ly awaiting their trial. Or the influence up 'On the health of the inmates, the evidence will be satisfactOry to any who visit the insti tution, and witness the appearance of those confined WithiU Its walls. While the coun'- ty labored under a heavy load of debt, there might have been some excuse for tolerating the present discreditable building.' But we have now reached a point' where improve ment cad be obtained without detriment to the financial interests of the county; and it is Strongly urged; that the necessary steps to procure a building adequate ' for its purpose,, and in accordance with the best approved plans of prison nrchi tectut e, be required to be inaugurated without delay. The jury' suggest, also, whether it might not be advantageous to employ the prisoners at some useful calling, not in conflict with the mechanical interests of our citizens, by which they conk] aid in paying a share of the expenses of their own keeping, if not the whole. We are informed, moon good authori ty, that in many institutions of this character the work of the ininates•yields all the means needed for their maintenance, and, in some cases, even provides a considerable surplus. The advantage of useful employment-to the moral character of the prisoners is too obvi ous to need argument. The publication of the different icounty statements, and other matter which interests all the citizens of the couuty, should be dis tributed, without politicaldistinction, among 'those papers which most nearly enable the object of the law to be accomplished. In or der to do this, 'one or more journals of each party should be selected, and it is no more than reasonable that the request of that por tion of our citizens who ask that they may be permitted to see 'these important docu ments through their favorite political medi um should be gratified. In a country where the people govern themselves, each man has a right to Inquire into the 'acts of those who have been delegated to perform official trusts, and every avenue of knowledge should be opened to miblic investigation. A, liberal spirit, consistent with a just degree of public economy, is advised in all matters connected with the better information of the masses. The jury take occasion •at this period, when no exciting political event diverts the people's attention, or induces them to look at suggestions from a mere partizan stand-point, to recommend that hereafter sessions of the court be held, at specified periods prece ding each eleetion, for the purpose of ena bling all well disposed foreigners who may desire to assuhie the privileges of citizenship, to do so withlas little delay and annoyance as possible. The spirit of our institutions, no less than the dictates of public policy, de mand that every encouragement should be given to these emigrants to become partakers in the responsibilities of the government which gives them protection and secures to them prosperity, freedom and happiness. , The , jury suggest that more care be exer cised in regard to the cleanliness of the court and jury rooms, and the outbnildingsattached to the3Court House. Additional accommo dations for feintiles attending Court are much needed, and Should be immediately provi ded. All of which is respectfully submitted. dsasx R. TAYLOR, Foreman. Before adjoundng, the Court issued the folloiving imperative order requiring tice construction of a new jail: "The present and many *ceding grand juries of this County ha4ing successively pre sented the existing jail of the county as cn tieely inadequate to the wants of the county, so incompatible with the dictates of human ity and the demands of justice as to be a re proach upon the people of the eounty and the civilization of the age, and so defective both in plan and structure as not to be sus ceptible of repair or modification so as to an swer the purpose of such a building; it is, therefore, ordered by the Court, that the Commissioners of Erie county immediately make arrangements for tile erection of a new jail, and that in doing so they take into con sideration the propriety- of constructing a work house in connection therewith, in which prisoners may be,prolitably employed during their confinement; and that this.order be en tered on record, and a:copy served upon the Commissioners of the bounty by the Clerk of the Court of Quarter Sessions. • PEnt Cuna.m.” rum EUGENIA&A REstConEn.—The cheapest and hest. moth bottles only 75 cells.

Each of these make large, and many of them enormous profits, from which it is evident• that the consumer is mm. pelted to pay many times the original cost for a pure article, or forced to use an adulterated or inferior one.
