—Up to yesterday evening the grand
jury of last week had not yet adjourned.
They sent off a hundred miles or so for
witnesses in the case of ibe young lady
of Cherry township, who is accused of
concealing the death of her child, and

thought it their duty to remain in ses
sion till the witnesses arrived.
—An editor in this state says: 'We
need SI,OOO before the first of January '
It is a queer announcement for an edi
tor to make ; but if he intends to make
his wife a Christmas present he should
have the money. We suppose he
might give her a twenty-five dollar
patent medicine order, but editors'
wives don't appreciate such presents.—
Norristown Herald.
—A terrible accident, resulting in the
death of eleven men, occurred at Gib
son station, on the Ohio river, a few
miles below Pittsburg, early 'ast Sat
urday morning.* A two-story shanty,
in which lorty-six persons were sleep
ing, was set on fire by the explosion of
a swinging lamp in the hall, and the
fire made such a dense smoke that
many of the men were immediately
overcome, and ten of them perished in
the flames.
—The Ohio dentists do not tolerate
murder. For years the Goodyear Rub
ber Company bas been waging war
against the dentists of the country, un
der the patent laws, and one of the in
cidents of the struggle was the killing
of a rubber company acent by a Cali- !
fornia dentist. A Columbus dentist
asked the State Association last week
to sympathize with the homicide by
resolutions but instead of doing that
they ruled him out, and then voted
him a censure. He took it like a man.
—The man Haley, alias Phelan, who
swindled the Emlenton Bank, some
two years ago by means of a forged
check, was tried at Franklin, lately,
convicted and sent to the peniten
tiary. Haley is an adroit scoundrel
with » fascinating history. He made
overtures offering to make the bank
good and double their loss. The usual
way with metropolitan moneyed con
cerns is to treat with such sharpers,
make terms that will save them, and
let the criminal loose once more upon
the world.
—The goods which are now in dis
play in the shops may not include many
striking novelties, but every year the
articles offered for sale at the holiday
season grow more tasteful on the aver
age The improvement in this respect
has been wonderful within ten years,
within five years, indeed. Never be
fore, too, was the variety of tasteful ar
ticles for holiday gifts attainable at a
small coßt, so great as it is now. A tour
of inspection through the shops where
all these things, costly and cheap, are
now displayed, is therefore well worth
while.
NEWSPAPER sharks—that is that
class who take a paper for a number of
years, and then skip wilhout paying
for it—are reminded by a contempora
ry that 'the new postal law now makes
the taking of a newspaper and the re
fusal to pay for the same, theft, and
any person guilty of such an action is
liable to criminal proceedings, the
same as if he had stolen goods to the
amount of subscription.' A New
York paper has already commenced
suit against several subscribers for
such an offence.— Parker Phwnix.
After an existence of sixty-oue
years Van Amburgh's show met the
iuglorious fate of being knocked to
pieces by au auctioneers hammer a few
days ago. Venerable men who re
member munching gingerbread and
staring at the monkeys in the Great
Show fifty or sixty yearsago will prob
ably nod their gray heads and hum
softly what they used to howl vocifer
ously when they were lads that
"Van Amburgh is the man who goes to all the
dhows,
He goes into the lion's den, and tells you all
he knows ;
He sticks his head in the lion's mouth, and
keeps it there awhile,
And when he takes it out again he greet*
you with a smile."
—A photograph, probably the larg
est ever printed upon a single sheet of
paper, is now on exhibition in the art
gallery of the American Institute. It
is not uncommon to see several views
which have been separately printed on
small sheets of paper and pasted to
gether to make a panorama of large in
dustrial works, etc., but this remarka
ble specimen was printed from seven
negatives on one sheet of paper, and
covers an area of over ten feet in length
by about eighteen inches in height.
It is a panoramic view of the Centen
nial ground in Philadelphia, Pa., and
so perfectly are the negatives joined
that it is impossible to locate the joints.
Were it not for the announcement of
the exhibitor that it wag printed from
seven negatives, no lay observer would
imagine that it was other than a sin
gle view printed from a single nega
tive.

—From the Washington correspond
ence of a New York paper we
take the following: 'Concerning
the tariff question, it is to be
observed that Pennsylvania receives
recruits from the agricultural regions,
noticeably from grain producing regions
in the west It was here that the free
trade heresy was supposed to be tak
ing strongest hold. It is to be remark
ed, also, that public men who hereto
fore have dawdled with protection now
stand firmly on their feet and declare
with emphasis that protection is the
thing to pay the national debt and at
the same time insure universal pros
perity. Companion to this is the Don
Cameron idea of free tobacco, the diet
of the masses, and the product of vast
regions, a strip of Pennsylvania includ
ed. This ie supplemented from tbe corn
growing region with the progressive
suggestion of free whisky. 'These to
gether,' said a prairie region represen
tative, 'will place the bread of life
within the reach of all and give the
poor man a chance, while the national
debt will be paid with a stiff tariff'
Elegant Holiday UOOJN.

—The Secretary of the Treasury re
ports the national income for the year
ending June 30 at about $.'{<!0,000,000,
of which, in round numbers, $200,000,-
000 was from duties on imported
goods, $135,000,000 fron taxes on
whisky and tobacco, $8,000,000 from
taxes on bank capital and circulation,
and the rest from miscellaneous sourc
es. The expenditures for the same pe
riod were about $260,000,000,0f which
tbe civil service took 18,000,000, pen
sions $50,000,000, the War Department ,
$40,000,000, the Navy Department- I
ment $10,000,000, interest on the pul>- I
lie debt $82,500,000, and various other I
purposes the rest. Of the $100,000,000 j
surplus, $74,000,0000 has been applied j
to tho sinking fund, $11,000,000 to the
payment of old matured debt, and $15,-
000,000 remains in the Treasury. The ]
Secretary recommends the stoppage of
the coining of silver dollars, a revis
ion of tbe tariff, tbe repeal of the tax
on bank capital, retaining that on bank
circulation, the maintenance of the
taxes on whisky and tobacco, and the
gradual extinction of the public debt
by paying off instead of refunding the

Consumption Cured.
An old physician, retired from practice, hav
ing had placed in his hands; by an East India
missionary the formula of a simple vegetable
remedy for the speedy and permanent cure for
Consumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma and
all Throat and Lung Affections, also a positive
aud radical cure for Nervous Debility and all
Nervous Complaints, after having tested its
wonderful curative powers in thousands of cas
es, has felt it his duty to make it known to his
suffering fellows. Actuated by this motive and
a desire to relieve human suffering, I will send
free of charge to all who desire it, this recipe,

WORD IN SEASON!
Never dnring our experience AH ImverK and nir.niifact jrere of clothing have we eeen the market in HO depressed a condition at it haa
been thin Heanou. The nt< b»>o»nii9*-h with which Summer has lingeied in the lap of Winter had a very depreHninp effect upon prices.
When onr bnver re*fli»'vl Sew York he d-il not in; end IO hoy one dollar M worth of Clothing, but the maim fact ui era accoeted him and
offered him finch in lucumenib which we e irreMfctab'e. They 1j&<1 the good*. they wanted tli« money, and therefor© named such low
prices an even lo von will appear lidicn'oub. Tbe reeult wan that our buyer took the advantage of the 11 it market aiid secured Mens,
Hoys' and Chi'dren Overcoats at 4«) per cent. le«s than they coot to manufacture. Mens, ISoys and Suits »e bought at
about one-half the prices tlieeo name asked for same goods four weeks ago. H*l M a "d Furnishing Goods in proportion.
Being bought cheai . we intend io Bell them cheap, giving the people of Pittsburgh and vicinity the full benefit of this unprecedented
purchase. Never h*\ve \v<- at anv one tin.e bad a* laige and desirable stock of seasonable goods in our store as at the present time, and
it seems a great pitv to cut prices so. l.ut ne ine.ui slash ai:d s'ash il shall be. Tins great loss—and loss it in falls upon the mauufac
turers. and were it not for onr creat enterprise and ability to pay spot cash for those tremendous lots of goods the people of 1 lttsburgh
and \icinii v would nut have thin unheard of opportunity of securing such excellent Clothing for sneli insignificant pnees. Merchants in
tho country who aie not "hlltd up with Winter Goods will do well to come iu and assort their steaks at our Lctail "rices. J hey /ill
