SENT TO THE PENITEHTIARY.-Win innie Moore,
or Minnie Moore, the Pittsburgh papers in
sist on calling her, Young girl who was reared
in this place by her foster parents, now resi-
dents of JOhnstown, has been sent to the Pen
itentiary for a term of two years and three
months, as will be seen By the following which
we clip from the Pittsburgh Post Our read~
ers will remember that n short time since Min
nie Moore was indicted iu the Criminal Court
tor the larceny of jcwelry and wearing apparel
- .ioil 'Ile Io-,1H9ce Of Capt. Elliott. and wAen
the case was called up sl~ -~.ared a nlea of
guilty. She gave bail for her arpearuIO- g.
sentence, bnt seemed to have forgotten the
past as she avoided the Court House. Since
that time she has been before the Mayor sew
eral times for general badness" and finally,
at her own request, was sent to Philadelphia
and placed in the institution known as the
Good Shepherd" 1t was hoped that she
would have remained there, as she was sadly
in need Of reformatory influence. The hopes,
however, were not to be realizeJ, At a late
hour Friday night she appeared at the lock up
and requested Captain Cupples to furnish her
with lodgings for the night. The only reason
she gave for leaving the Philadelphia institu>
ton was that the physician Informed her that
Pittsburgh was the best place for her. On
Saturday morning, just when the city officials
were wondering what to do with her, County
Detective Dresser presented an attachment
from the Court, and Minnie was placed in his
custody. An hOnr or two later she was brought
before j udge Collier for sentence i'll the lar
ceny case, and was cent to the Penitentiary for
two wears and three months.

JOHN J. MURPHY has a question for school
teachers. Ten per cent. OF the dry goods he
sells equals ninety per cent. of what any one
else sells in town. How much does he sell :?
The way to solve this question is to count the
bundles of goods he packs up and sends away.
and what his customers carry away. And it
takes better scholar to count these than to
count the per cent. Rus in Urbc. That's it..
The whole country comes to his store, because
it IS the place to get your money back.

ing TO programme, was rendered by the pupils
in a manner which called forth the appreciation
Of all present. To give a full catalogue of

oil the above named pieces were performed by
the actors in a manner which would do credit
to theatrical stars :" and rendered the occa

music. by three proficient musicians, was ele-
CANT, and was not the least pleasiIg feature of

DEAR FREEMAN-Y our correspondent, " Rob
Roy, - having cut the third digit of his right
hand, has deputed me to make nv bow in his
pl zee this week. But, whatever 1 can write is
only as faint flicker of gas Jet to the iull
blaze of a summers sun compared to his pithy
polished and pointed periods. Anyhow, local
news is scarce just now as mosquitoes.
Monday and Tuesday were politically busy.
Candidates for the various borough Offices
were flying around our streets like bees round
honey comb, and shaking hands with every
one. They laughed and smiled so sereney
that a stranger would take them to be born
babes of grace. Next Friday will decide the
"fate of Cato and Rome ;" SO till then we
will let them slide.

pany, No. l held a ball in the Union Hall J
have attended many select entertainments, but
this ball loft in the shade anything of the kind
ever eIj IjOyed in this city. 4 little before 8
O'Clock loving fascinating current of fashion.
Style and beauty could be seen moving towards
the Hall, and continued swelling and swaying
till labOut o'clock, when the Hall looked like
sea of charming, dazzling crystals. There
must have been at least four hundred persons
present. The ladies looked gay, gorgeous and
bewitching-the gents looked superbly sp!en-
did. The large Hall was profusely festoOned,
and on its walls ere hung the Stars and
Stripes surrounded by rich and costly flags

soul inspiring music. Under the skiilful man
agement of Messrs. John b. Hay, Jas Quinn,
7. McDermott. F. II. McMilen, j as EIGridgc,
and other courteous and obiging gentlemen,
everything went off as merry a q marriage
bell" The great feature of the night was the
/ Grand March" in which at least one hundI ed
couple Joined. This was indeed a sight en-
trancing, to see the fair ladies prancing, and
their bright eyes glancng, and the gay gents
RohANCING. There was one feature too SUB
sTANrIAL to be omitted. Mr.. James Benford
the worthy proprietor of the Benford House
was in the large room overhead, where he had
prepared for them a sumptuOus and recherche
supper, consisting among other good things of
buffalo, venisOn, turkeys, chickens and bear
meat, but before morning the tables were BARE
too. AT o'clock ell dispersed in the best OF
humor and wishing for similar re union OF
JohnstoNn's fair daughters and gallant sons.
