CLEVELAND AND PITTSBURGH RAIL
RoAD.--The growing Importance OF
this thoroughfare is apparent from the
fact that but short time since it was
reported that one of the great railway
corporations in the East, New Yor k
Central or Erie, we forget which, was
making an effort to secure controlling
interest of the stock, and thus add it to
their Western connections. Under the
present management the Cleveland
and Pittsburgh road has became one OF
the most prosperous in the country. In
]. N. Mccullough. Esq. the Company
has ii President who thoroughly under
stands what is required to make his
road popular, and the liberality to meet
the requirements. +. r. Myers, Esq.
general ticket agent, ranks n Prince
among railroad officials.
THE Wellsville Union announces
that the Directors of the Cleveland and
Pittsburgh Railroad Company have
appropriated sixty thousand dollars to
he expended in building additional
railroad shops Mt that place.

BAD SIDEwALK.-Our attention was
called, yesterday, TO the wretched con-
dition Ofthe sidewalk from the end of
the Suspension Bridge to Zane street,
on the Island. II is represented as be-
ing almost impossible, and that it re-
quires one TO pick lis steps very care
fully, in daylight, 10 escape falling on
the rocks and cinders several feet be-
low. After dark (the Island is not
blessed with gas furnished from the
'city,) it is positively dangerous to at
tempt the passage. We we're informed
by gentleman that he and his wife a
few nights since We're hurt very con-
siderably by falling while on their way
home-they having been so unfortunate
as 10 be compelled 10 travel along that
way sometime after dark. a petition is
being circulated for signatures TO have
that break neck sidewalk repaired. 1t
is somebody's business to have it done,
and unless It is done, there will. in all
probability, be broken leg or neck to
pay for by the party remiss in keeping
that spot in proper repair. We know
not whose duty it is. but the fact can
be ascertained. We heard the determi-
nation expressed to have this business
looked after.

THE MAGIC LANrERN.-By reference
to our advertising columns, it will be
seen that splendid Magic Lantern and
other apparatus have been purchased
By tho management OF st. VinCent's
College, aud that the first exhibitions
with it will he given this aud to NOR
row evenings, in the hall connected
with that institution. 1t is needless to
enlarge on the amusement aud instruc.
ton that can be brought out by skill

and we will content ourselves with say
ing that if you want to spend an agree
able and profitable hour this evening.
or tomorrow, or both, secure an early
seat.

NARROW EscAPE.-on Monday. a boy
employed about Shields Music Store on
Market street, while assisting to re-
move piano from an express wagon
to the pavement, stepped into cellar
area which was at that moment un-
covered. The boy fell distance OF
several feet, and in his descent in some
way closed the iron doors after him
shutting himself in, completely. One
or two other persons who were present
and assisting, ran and drew him from
his unwilling imprisonment. ForLu-
nately he had not received any injury
in falling nor stopping SO suddenly,
and In a minute or two was all right.

CoNvALEsCENT.-We are glad to hear
that Sergeant Stanley, who was injured
at the disastrous fire which destroyed
the Star Foundry in September last
has so far recovered as TO be about
again. We learn that Sergeant S. some
time since ventured out before the
wounds he received were sufficiently
healed 10 justify his doing so, and that
he met with an accident to his injured
leg which rendered it as painful as
when first hurt. He is now just recov-
ering from this relapse, but it will be II
considerable period, it is feared, before
he will be able to enter on the discharge
of his official duties.

SLEIGuING.-Wh the denizens OF
this city are wading through the mud
and enVeloped in a mantle of blackness
aud darkness Egyptian in character, it
is refreshing to know that out the Bal
tinlore road II hundred and forty miles
people are having high old time
sleighing and merry making generally.
Game is unusually abundant-d5er
especially so. Large numbers are be
ing taken. The snow, which is said to
be about twenty inches deep, is covered
with crust, not strong enough, how
eyer, 10 bear them up when fleeing
from their pursuers. Whether the cap
ture of deer under such circumstances
can properly be styled an honorable
transaction, others may de termine.
Weheard high-minded and successful
sportsman. yesterday. denominate it
murder" and it occurred TO us that he
hit the mark, precisely.

FEsTIvAL.-The festival given by the
members of the Fifth street (colored, }
NJ. Il. Church last evening in the old
city Hall over the Market House, was
quite creditable affair. Long tables
had been arranged ON either side of the
room, on which were set out edibles
served up in the highest style Of the
art. We have seen greater profusion
on like occasions, but have never seen
neater display of the same quantity of
material. Il is certain that these people
made the most out of what they had;
which rule we believe holds good
among people of whittier skins. At the
time we visited the hall, there was not
large number present, but those who
were there were enjoying themselves,
hugely. Arrivals were momently &C.
curing, and we have no doubt at a
later hour in the evening, the hall was
filled with It gay and festive crowd. No
people enter moro heartily into the
spirit of such an entertainment than
"American citizens of African descent"
and none give more latitude to their
expressions of delight.
The festival will lie continued this
evening at the same place. The net
proceeds are 10 be devoted to discharg-
ing an indebtedness to the pastor.

NEW INSURANCE -CoMPANY.--Ac GER
tifcate sof incorporation was Issued
from the Secretary ofState's Office, yes
terdav, to the gentlemen whose names
we give below, who have associated
themselves for the purpose of conduct
ing general insurance business They
set forth in their application for a
charter that they propose TO take
marine risks and insure against
damage or loss by FIRE or any other
casualty on real or personal property;
to effect insurance on lives; grant an
nuties; receive endowments; contract

the payment of promissory notes, bills

dollars of the capital stock have been
already subscribed, and authority is
given in the charter to increase the
amount to one million. The par value
of the shares is one hundred dollars.
The charter is to expire on the goth of
December, 1888. 1t will be seen that
the CorPorators represent all sections
of tho State, and we do not see why a
large and profitable business may not
be built up. Distributed, as the above
named gentlemen are, all over the
State, they will be able to operate with
the greater 1ceess in inducing their
neighbors az aads to take out poll
cies in Tho Virginia Insurance

SURPRISE AND PREsEHTATIoN.-Aft
the regular installation ceremonies had
been completed last evening. in Nelson
Lodge No. so, Ancient Free and Ac-
cepted Masons, in the Masonic Temple,
the brethren (Masons are! all brothers,
we believe were invited to the banquet
room, swhere superb rePast had
been spread, prepared by Mr.. T. w.
Bliss. Before proceeding to discuss the
supper, Mr.. D. R. Wolfe approached
table on which something mysterious
TO those not in the secret, was standing
Directing his attention to DIR. Baird,
Worthy Master, Mr.. Wolfe delivered
few appropriate and eloquent remarks,
and at the proper point in his address
the cloth was removed, displaying TO
the astonished vision of DIR. Baird an
elegant silver tea service of six pieces,
which his brethren of the craft had
provided in acknowledgement of his
eminent services and worth as mason
aud gentleman. The Doctor was nom
plussed for the moment having had no
previous intimation of the designs of
the Lodge towards him, but rallying
from his surprise he responded to he
donors OF the munifcent. gift in fitting
terms.
This handsome testimonial was got
ten up by Messrs. Scott 81 Hennegen,
and was neat and chaste in design.
Perhaps no more elegant set of service
was ever prepared in this city. We
heard it highly spoken of by all who
saw 1t, and the taste and workmanship
/ displayed by Messrs. s. & II. in its pre-
paration reflect the highest credit on
their establishments:
When these proceedings had closed,
the company sat down to the sumptu-
GUS repast above mentioned, and ample
justice was done to the choice viands
prepared by Mr.. Bliss. This part of the
programme having been disposed OF, a
brief space was spent as it is usually
done on such occasions, when the mem
bers of the craft dispersed, we'll pleased
with the installation and after piece.
The whole affair was admirably con :
ceived and happily carried out.

has almost entirely disappeared, and
we suppose this morning will find it

about 12 o'clock preparing to leave for
Parkersburg, and as the owners of the

this city, seize every opportunity to &C
commodate everybody who patronize
them, we presume the steamer took
her departure. We were informed that
the present "neiting mood" here, ex-
tended up to the mountains, and should
it continue a few days the faces of our
steamboat men will throw off some OF
their recent elongatiou. AT dark last
night the marks showed between six
and seven feet in the channel, and

WHERE'S AXEY?"-We read recent
ly of gentleman who engaged green
country lad as man of all work. The
other day one of the ladies ofthe house
hold sent the new help to a periodical
store. with list of magazines, papers,
&C., which she desired, the "Galaxey"
being among them. The boy can read,
evidently, for when the order was filled
he stood as If waiting for something
enumerated in the order that was not
forthcoming.
Anything further2" inquired the
clerk.
Ills them an2' inquired country,
pointing to the bundle that had been
put for him.
"Yes, of course. that's all the order
calls for"
"But where's the gal ?"
"VVhat gal?"
"Why, the Gal AGy9"
1t was explained that that was the
name of one of the periodicals in the
list, but he left the store reluctantly,
not more than half convinced that he
ought to return to his mistress without
that gal A&y.

when the Flying Childers went past

more than a square farther. Just above
Monroe street the remaining wheels
met with an obstruction and the horse
left them behind him. Whether the
equine is running yet we could not as

provementin the order observed, or not.
There is certainly great need of it.
