DIED.-On Sunday last, in Ebensburg,
EBENEzER DAVIS, aged about 7S years.
The deceased was native of Wales, and
had served many years in the British ar
my. His trade here was that of weav-
er, and we have often thought, as we
passed his place of business, that he was
one OF the most perfect models of industry
we have ever seen. Late and early his
loom was in operation. He was retired in
his habits, and unassuming in his man
ners. Peace to his ashes
D1ED-On Tuesday, 10th inst, at her
residence, near Beulah, Cambria town
ship, Mrs. ELLEN JONES, aged about 60
years.

A PORTION of the City Council seem deter
mined not to contract with Abel shawk for q
steam fire engine. Mr.. shawk was the first
to bring into practical use the steam fire cn-
gine in this city, and if his engine is inferior
in some respects to that of Mr.. Latta, it is
superior in others. The committee on Fire
Department say they need two more engines.
If that be the case, why not buy one from
Mr.. shawk and one from Mr.. LattaP En-
gineers who arc using the shawk machine
say that it is at least equal to the Latta, and
some even prefer it. Why, then, should Mr..
Latta have the preference - especially when
the shawk machine can be purchased at a
lower figure, and is guaranteed for one year
by tho proprietor, who will keep it for that
period in repair, free of cost TO the cityP We
arc decidedly opposed to monopoly, either at
home or abroad.

The Secretary Of the Treasury has prepared
a circular, addressed to the Collectors Of the
Customs, saying; "The immunity Of our mer-
chant vessels at sea from seizure, eearch, de-
tention, or visit in time Of peace by vessels Of
war Of any foreign nation, being now admitted
by all the maritime powers Of the world, ii is
very desirable that the flag Of the United
States, the proper indication of the nationality
of our vessels, should always be promptly dis
played in the presence Of a ship Of war. The
Secretary of the Treasury is directed by the
President TO instruct the Collectors Of the Gus
toms to request the captains in the merchant
service, at their respective ports always TO dis
play their colors as promptly as possible when
ever they meet upon the ocean an armed cruizer

A CASE came up before Esquire Fisher yes
terday, in which G. II. Weinsing, German
hostler, who works on Mount Auburn, brought
suit against Joseph Koch, fellow workman, to
recover $50 which he claimed was illegally de-
tanned from him. 1t appears from the testi-
mony that Weinsing received $lOO in pay
ment of wages, and that he showed the money
to Koch. The latter took the money and put
it in his pocket, saying, "Now I'm ricL , let's
60 take drink" They went off together and
drank several times, and at length Weinsing
thought Koch had his money long enough, and
demanded it. Koch handed him $50 bill, de-
claring that that was all he had received from
him. Judgment was rendered in favor o
plaintiff. t.

Snnno.ad parrIcidn

A correspondent Of the Hamilton (Capada)
Times, writing from Brantford, says that a
young man named Mr.. Wallace Robertson has
been taken into custody on a charge OF having
forged his fathers will, about two years ago.
IL appears that a farmer named Robertson
lived not far from Mount Pleasant, few miles
from Brantord. He was possessed of consi-
derable property, and had grown up son,
who was not remarkable for his observance Of
moral obligations or parental authority. Mr..
Robertson was returning from Brantford, and
had freely partaken of intoxicating liquors.
He did not roach home at the hour he was ex-
pected, and on the following morning his body
was found lying by the roadside. 'I
An inquest was held, and evidence Of the
most conclusive nature adduced that a foul
murder had been committed. The body pre-
sented several marks of violence, including
severe contusions and stab in the region of
the breast, which Of itself was sufficient TO
cause death, and was apparently inflicted by q
dirk knife. A brother Of the young man now
in custody was strongly suspected Of being the
perpetratd5 Of the crime, and was arrested on
the Coroner's warrant, but was subsequently
released for want of sufficient inculpatory evi :
denoe. A will, purporting to have been made
by the deceased, was produced, and has since
been ascertained to be forgery, and to have
been drawn out by some member Of the fam
ily-supposed by the prisoner. Since the de-
cease Of Mr.. Robertson, the prisoner and his
mother, wife Of the murdered man, have not
lived on very friendly terms. and she has
lodged information against her son, charging
him with having murdered his father for the
purpose of becoming possessed of portion of
the estate.

ABOUT the most useless piece of cxtrava.
gance, in small way, in the City government
is the maintenance of tho Canal Police. There
is no earthly necessity, and arc of no more SER
vice than fifth wheel would be to wagon.
When they were first appointed there was some
light necessity for them. Then line of pack
cts were running to upper points on the Canal,
and the few passengers who adopted them as a
mode Of travel probably needed sOmo protec-
ton. Now there is nothing to guard but few
barrels of pork and whisky, and the Day Po-
licemen of the various wards lining the Canal
could, We think, without breaking their necks,
assume that slight additional. Abolish the
Canal Police, Mr.. Mayor, and stop the leak.

PRoF. Tosso's CONCERT. is hardly neces
snry to say that the announcement that Mr..
Tosso, the veteran violipist, would appear at
Pixies Opera Hall was sufficient, last evening,
to attract large and appreciative audience.
The performances were not only good-they
surpassed thu most sanguine expectations Of
the public.
Mr.. Tosso proved himself the Tosso of the
olden time--many of Els performances, indeed
evinced not only the culture of age, but tn,
vigor and elasticity of youth. The solo or
the guitar of Mr.. Henry worrall was msgnif.
cent, and the grand piano solo of Sophie
Werner ELECTED repeated rounds Of applause.
OF the Misses Tosso we need not speak; they
surpassed even the general expectation. Their
talent is acknowledged by all who have been
fortunate enough to witness their exhibitions.
All in all, we regard the Concert Of Prof.
Tosso decided success; and we sincerely trust
he will, at a day not distant, consent to appear
again before Cincinnati audience.
