PRISON observation-disclosures shown
last evening a letter from R. s. Morri-
son, Esq, of Pittsburg, addressed to
the Superintendent of our Penitentiary.
Mr.. NJ. has been Solicitor for the ALLIE
gheny Prison Association, and has
given more than ordinary attention to
the subject of prison discipline from
that fact. It will be seen that his views
coincide with those which have been
carried out by Superintendent McFad-
den in the management of convicts In
our State institution.
PITTSBURGH, April Is, 1869.
@. g. McFGdden, Esq:
DEAR SIR-I found, on my arrival
to-day from New York, your report as
superintendent OF the West Virginia
Penltentiary, on my table. l read II
with pleasure, and allow me to express
my appreciation OF your wisdom and
humanity in allowing tobacco to the
prisoners; in allowing them light, and
suppressing their names in certain
cases. This is subject in which take
an individual interest, and always ia.
yored the Ideas which you have carried
out according to your report.
Thanking you for your favor, am
respectfully yours, 49,

THE DAWN OF Enthusiastically
was a dull day. The policemen gazed
vainly up and down the quiet streets
and saw nothing but the most provok-
ing order. Little children kept out OF
trouble, and big children out of wick
edness. Horses eyed bits of flying pa
per in musing mood, nor once thought
of getting scared, even when their ears
were saluted by the rumbling OF the
street cars. Our city cuddled down
under the wings OF. the Angel of Peace,
and LAWYERS, doctors and locals were
left with nothing to do.
Vain are the efforts of pencil drivers
to make an Interesting local column
when events combine in a mutual de.
termination not to happen. We are
clear of blame in this matter. Events
positively would not come off. Men
walked with reckless haste over the
Suspension Bridge, and the perverse
planks never tripped one of them.
ment, and were as safe for the foot as
ashes. No little boy fell into the creek,
so we cannot chronicle even marrow
escape from a watery grave. Every
thing being thus adversely quiet, can
we be blamed for scarcity of items
How iH 1t with our readers Dlu yOuS
kind sir, or you, madame, who have
read this local column, morning after
morning, ever do anything to help
sustain it2 Did you ever furnish any
items? Remember 1t Is not the pen Of
the writer, but the acts of the people
that make this column lively. Were
the labor evenly divided few notices
OF each inhabitant of the city once in
twelve months would keep this column
full. AS it is now small number of
earnest supporters Of the press furnish
| all the material for remark, while the
| great mass take up the paper simply
| for amusement and never think that
they also have a duty to perform in
amusing others. Let each one hold
soul-searching self-communion, and
see If personal duty has been perform
ed in this matter. Ask yourself the
| following questions:
Did you ever steal anything?
Did you ever have anything stolen?
Did you ever kill anybody?
Did anybody ever kill you?
We're you ever drowned?
Did you ever die shocking acciden-
