IRON CITY COMMERUAL COLLEGE.

One ofthe most flourishing and attractive schools
of learning is the Iron City College. 1t numbers
among its students young gentlemen from variou:
States Of the Union, and even from the largest
cities, where there are similar institutions-bui
this one has emphatically overshadowed them all
WeboldIy assert that there is no city in the Union
which has a commercial school, where the branches
of a business education are so thoroughly taught
as in the Iron City College of Pittsburgh.
On entering the beautiful and commodious col
legc hall, we surprised to witness the great
number of students in attendance. Every desk in
that large room appeared occupied, and the close at
tention of the students, and the delightful order
were in fine harmony with the place.
The energy and consummate skill with which
this institution has been managed, despite opposi
ton it has encountered from its predecessors and
contemporaries, reflect the highest honors upon it:
gentlemanly Principal, F. w Jenkins, Esq. II has
acquired the position, (Which it can now maintain
with ease,) of being the very foremost and most eff
fcient Commercial College, not only in this citv
but in the United States.-Pinsturgh EceRins

An Educated Biackbird.

Our friend, Charley Pefferman, of the
drug store on the east side of Broadway,
has blackbird Gagged which hauls its own
food in a small wagon to the cage, and
draws its own water. The wagon is at
tached to the cage by a string. and stands
off about one foot upon an inclined plane
where it is loaded with provisions; small
hole enables the bird to reach its foot
through the cage, with which it seizes the
string and draws the wagon close enough
to reach the food, where it holds it with
one foot until it enjoys its meal; On letting
go the string the wagon returns. Its wa
ter is in miniature bucket and suspended
on string IL or Is inches below the cage:
when thirsty, Coley reaches his foot down
through hole prepared for the purpose.
takes the string and deliberately draws the
bucket up to the cage and holds it while he
slakes his thirst. Charley has choice sell
ection of birds, but none SO finely educated
as this. He continues to take lessons, and
is said to be making excellent progress, but
at what particular time he expects to grad
uate, we have not learned. Who can beat
it.-Peru Republican.
