South Erie Town Hall and Market Mouse
JOur South Erie neighbors, whose public
spirit we have frequently hail occasion to
celmmend, have added another to the , monu
ments of their energy. which Is among. the
most creditable they h ire e msuminated.
We refer to the M irket House building just
completed—a structure th it would be an
honor to any community, and one that will
be productive ofgreat and permanent benefit
to the locality. It hastbeen built at the ex
pense of the borough, ands occupies one of
Ilte best sites possible to have been obtained,
with State street on the Etst side, Peach on
the West, and Simpson on the South.,,, The
material is brick ; the building is two stories
high ; size 30x75 feet; cost of lot $7,00,;
cost of the- building about $B,OOO. The
while of the secoud'story is intended' / for a
public hall, and makes as tine a one at; any in
the city. The first floor is divided had two•
apartm-at , ,,—the,largeriine, trl x 5-1 !vet, is
to be.used as a market house; the smaller
ono as a - con nOl chamber awl I,M her
b,u'ough purtokse.. Entraoce to ti Crupper
story is also obtains 1 through a small hall on
the ground floor. The bnilding,a, a general
thing, is admirably arrangtel, with high cell
ibgs and abundant light, and if there is any
defect about it, it consists in . the probability
that the market spare will be found too lila- ,
ited. In every place wherz suitable market
ar,ommodations have been provided, the re
sult has invariably been nut the demand fir
st tlls,was greater than had been originally
provided for, and we have no doubt that our
, *South Erie friends will have a similar ex-
perience.
On Tuesday evenin ,, , the huildin: was
dedicated with a public supper and dance,
which were largely attended. The promi
nent citizens of Smith Erie, with their wives,
daughters and awe etheart3, turned out in
force, and were joined by scores from the
city, inclniling some of our best known resi-,
dents ill - present enjoyed themselves
heartily, and it was the unanimous verdict
that the committee in (-barge covered them
selves with glory by the excellence of their
arrancementz, and the promptness, courtet%y .
and skill with which they were carried out.
OM=
Mr. L. B. Chevalier, the artist, has just
completed an oil painting which is one of
the finest pt oductions of his genius, and will
place him in the front rank of American
painters. It is called "Cupid Sharpening his
Arrow," and represents the mi , cltievous
little fellow stooping Iv the aide of a stn. tm ,
on the stones of which he is industriously
rubbing the points of his weapon. ' Under a
tree, in the distance, is a group of young
people, into whose hearts he has evidently
determined to send the contents of his quiv
er. The design is suggestive, and gives
pleasing effect, while the execution is splen
did. We have never seen richer colors, nor
a more natural gronpint of the leading fea
tures. Mr: Chevalier will win wider-reputa
tion than ever by this picture, which is pro
nounced by all who have seen it one of the
'best, it not the.very best cfhirt, of his life.
DON'T HE SWINDLED.—The Mayor of New
York has issued n% circular cautioning the,
public against New York circulars, tickets,
chances and prospectußes in co-op
erative union., or gift enterprise., or dollar
stores, or in any other possible scheme where
by property or value LI promised, greater
than - the price asked to be paid.. Every such'
scheme, he says, is a swindle and n false pre
tense. •
Ixgrrasta . 1 -.. We cannot give you the in
fiirmatidn requestd. The gentleman has
not been seen in this city for. a couple weeks.
On the occasion of .his last appearance; he
was about starting for Washington, in confi
dent expectation of receiving a Post office
appointment, since which time no •person
seems to be 'aware of his location. Suspi
cious offoul play are becoming current.
IN another column will be found an ad
vertisement of the Cincinnati Enquirer. We
have before expressed the opinion; and talFy.
pleasure in repeatinglf, that of all the papers
in the West, the Enquirer is the ablest, most
enterprising and reliable. It is A model
journal, and cannot be spoken of in too
stmng terms of praise
A Fine Picture
Improvement• at the Wharves.
In taking a stroll along the landing, the
other day, I was astonished at the amount of
.workeing.on at the Phil a. & Erie Railroad
wharves. They have already completed,and
in us”, their lake wareho :se wharf, now
stored with some 6,000 tins of Anthracite
coal, belonging to Burton Brothers & Co., as
also the elevator dock, including th tt recent
ly occupied' by Lamb & Co.,—making in all
some five acres. They are also preparing
timber for an immense trestle work, on the
-eastside_of their present works, to be planked
over forcoal storage, which, when comple
ted, will'make in all some temaerts,' wharf
dye: any . oiie'r.tillrorid along the Lakes
beat this? They haVe also had' a gang of 100
men the pact' winter at work blasting the
rock along the line of their wharves and. iq
the slips, tolhe depth of fifteen feet, which
will give them a sufficient depth of water for
the large. class of vessels] I also under
stand they contemplate removing several of
the cribs sunk by UM old murkily during
the absurd railroad war some years since.
This - will he aline - timing for our harbor, as
thee cribs are a great nuisance.. They have
constructed a large and powerful 'dredging
machine,whieh they inten 1 to keep c onstant
ly employed, as then rock, being slate and
shale, is easily eteav red with the dredge after
iffusiing. To add farther to their business
arrangem mTs, they h lea p arch used the new
elevator, and . will th it branch of pro
duce shipueiaT'a, ; :1 , 1 I, I in ay a 11, this eleva
tor is but the "av ince eoarrier: of several
inure, b.; eolstractel„ d as so in as
the lucre tse or tiuslness will warrant ; and
coon we in Iv Nneet to sac a line of propel
lers bel tnging t t the ea upany, and scores of
>ail craft, of the Tartest size, throitging their
wit trves. Aire tlv their shipments. have,
commenced for the se . tson, as three nr fiur
cargoes of e )1.1 have been levAtoltcd fir the
p,irts adiVe. I noticed a large I.q of railroad
iron being d , livered, itn.l was told •there
would he 13,000 t tn, of it, from I) in Pa.,
destined for S'aperiiir City,liir a new railroad
in prize si of construction. There ware
many other items of lute r•s' whieh I could
inontion, but defer it fur the present.
What a blesdag, to Erie' th tt this road has
titans fallen into the hands of an enter
prising and wealthy emnpviry, who, in for
theririg their own interest in making it one
of the, beg ro tins in the country, will, very
tiers illy, benefit our city ; fur Jlu more
business the road aloes, the better for us. Sac-
Coss to the Phila. & Erie R. It. ; long may
she wave.
In coming Jibing up, I fell in with our
filends Cochran and Spooner, of the•" Eric
Lime and Cement Ca." They Iplong to that
class of men wh ) never dl) things by hslvee,
and have shown it be way of their works.
They, too, have been blasting and
and now 11:11/e a line depth of water at their
landing. Their new and- extensive plaster
'mill is turning out u large amount of ground'
plaster, which they Bell to our farmers an.l
ship to the interior. Near by, I noticed the
new shingle mill of Messrs.' Geo. Carroll &
Brother, where they were slathering out the
shingles nt a rapid rate. My nest halt was
at "MOsqueto Fleet Harbor," at the foot of
State street, where I notice•l scores of steam•
yachts, sail boat; anti row boats of every size,
model and fit, and preparing for the aquatic
sports of the season. Then for a stroll upon
the public dock: here I found a tine schoon
er:of 271 tons, old measurement, building for
Messrs. Geo. Carroll & Brother, and nearly
ready for launching. Messrs. Baker & Foster
builders, who have dime themselves much
credit in the construction of this staunch
ress 1, so admirably adapted to the lumber
trade.
31,:zri. Geo. C wroll II Brother ~ ver,. for
merly in busineis in Toronto, Cmada, and
came :whom; us some two years since., witli
the intention of embarking largely - in the
lumber trade. They soon established a rep
ufattion for thorough brisitiess capacity and in
tegrity and have taken the 1t....td in their line.
Last year they sold 1,500,000 feet
_elf dumber
—Mosey shipped, to the interior—land expect
to do a much - larger buscness this season. We
welcome the a Lvent of such citizens among

THE last "Legislature passed a general

Pennsylvania LegiAlature held its 14,t
!Agnes§ meeting on Thursday night of lost
week. The occasion' was a scene of con
fusion, and the winding up of the session of
1869 was a fitting close to the almost daily
disgraceful scenes which have taken place
in UAW body since,raimary. Friday was de,
vottA to speech .making and presentations,
the Speakers and 'leaders of both parties
coming in fur their share of the good things.
DwttNG the first part of the , late session of
the Legislature,;Mr. Burritt, Susquehnna,
introduced into 'the House it j;:int rem dution
proposing an amendment to the Constitution.
allowing females as well 'as males; over
twenty-one years of age, to vote in Pennsy/- .

near the close of the &restart. Mr. Burritt
made an extended and able speech In favor
ofithe proposition, and was listened to with
clostattention, A vote was had on agree

A Clluscu. Row.—The "members ; of the
Presbyterian Society of Findley toyenship,
Allegheny county, had a lively row on Sun
day two weeks ago. There has been trouble
in the congregation for a number of years,
growing out of the fact that their pastor; Rev.
Win. PFunter, is a Democrat. • The Republi
can and Democratic factions of the congre
gation became very much embitterainst
each other, and hunter and his friertisis set
upon theif own account, and the Reim!)li
can members did the same, each holding
services in the same building at different
hours. On the oc c uSion referred to, both
parties arranged for service on that - day, at
the-same hour! A conflict war, just as in
evitable,-under such circumstances, as a col
lision between two locomotives in atteppt,
lug to pass on the same track. A number of
Radical members took possession on Kit
lathy night, and remained iu the 'church
with the doors baked. Qn :similar morn:
lug the Rtinter men gatheretrand attempted
to force entrance. Small compliments,
in the shape of shovels and linkers, chunks
of coal, stones, clubs, tVc., passed between
the ins and the outs, tlAugh the windows,
ainl the "ext•retses" w ere anything lint de
votional. A panel was broken out: of the
door, and one of the besieging' varty at
tempted to get inside through the limb-, but
was repulsed, a little the worse fur the trial.
The attack was kept up for some time, but
the Ifunterites finding the 'other party too
strontzly entrenched, were obliged to beat a
'retreat. The hest day warrants were issued
.for the arrest of the parties in the church,
and they, to retaliate, caused the arrest of
the attacking !ary. The matter - will he -•
tied by the courts.

Ms In - ALAI/MA: PREPAILATION.—The at:
tendon of our readers is directed to the ad
vertisement of Dr. L. Q. C. Wishart's Punt
Tree Tar Cordial for the cure of Consump
tion of the Lungs, etc. This invaluable
preparation has met with such an increased ,
detruind during the past few years, the pro
prietor has found it necessary to increase the•
facilities for manufacturing, and has now one'
, tif the lamest Laboratories in Philadelphia;
and has recently removed his salesrooms tie
the large and commodious store, No. 232.
North Second street, Philadelphia. Some ot
the largest Patent Medicine dealers in the
United States say the demand for Wlsbart's
Pine Tree Tar Cordial is greater at the pres
ent time than any other l'atent Medicine
this country.
A Glum) axto ItzarrED Success.—We
learn that so great has become the demand
for Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy of late, that
Instead of grinding and preparing the ingre
dients which enter into its composition, in a
common druggist's mortar, the proprietor
has had to resort to a large set of French
Bur Mill Stones,
which are run by water
power. When it is considered that it is but.
a short time since the remedy was discovered
and lint on sale, this' may truly be said to en
tirely eclipse the success which has met the
remedies of Aver, Janes, Moffat, Townsend,
and the whole fraternity of proprietary med
icine venders. Where there is such success,
here must be some merit. It is for sale in.

why to cure consumption.
To these three medicines Dr. J. IT. Schenck,
of ph I haleipli in, owes his unrivalled meccas in
the treatment of pulmonary et num tnption. The
l'ul lc Syrup ripens the mornld matter in
the lung., nature throws It far by an easy ex
pectoration, for when the phlegm or mutter Is
ripe, a slight cough will throw it off, and the
pat t tins rest and the lungs begin to bead.
Tu do thin , the seaweed Tonic and Mandr ake Pills must be freely used to cleanse the stomach
and liver, so that the Put mottle Syrup and the
food a ill make good blood:
Seheiteh's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver.
removin-_t obstructions, relax' the ducts of
gall-bladth r, the bile Knuth freely,and the liver
it soon relieved; the stools Will ahow what the
Pills can du; nothing has ever been invented
except calomel (n deadly poison which le very
da ,gerund to use unless with great cafe), that
will unlock the galbbladder and start the secre.

Pll Is.
Liver Complaint h‘ one of the most prominent
causes of c..risumption. •
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimu
lant iind alterral‘e, iind the alkali in the Sea
weed, which this preparation is msdeof,ruisists
the stomach to throw out the gastric juice to
die solve the food with the Pulmonic Syrup,and
it is made In togood blood without fermentation
or scouring in the stomach.
The great rent.oli why phyalclAns do not cure

medicine to stop the cough, to atop Might sweats,

If a person has Consumption, of course the
lungs In solo.. way are diseased, either tuber
