YESTERDAY was about the dullest Sunday
hereabouts that has dawned for long time.
The absence from the city of numbers of
our people, some in New York and others
summering at various places. was percepti-
HE in no slight degree. The weather at
times was sultry or enough so to render pc
6estrjanism uncom Portable. while the steril-
ity of the Sunday papers-being devoted al
most entirely TO one subiect-rendered their
perusal uninteresting to most readers The
churches had only ordinary congregations.

cid years have elapsed since left The place
Of my birth and there is Feeling Of love
p,at still exists that time will never destroy,
no matter how long absent. We have had
sad bereavement in our family II S the
death of my mother. She died on the 20th
nf December, 1854, with heart disease. She
liyad Just fifteen minutes from the beginning

Of any kind. She was Of very nervous

AN OLD MANS TERRIBLE STORY.-Wm.
Jackson Moore, Of Triadelphia, Washington
county, Pa, came to Plttsburg yesterday
for the purpose of consulting legal advice
concerning some property of which he
claims to have been d.frauded by some rel
atives. Moore, who is sixty-one years of
age, tells a wonderful story of prlvations
aud suffering He claims that for eleven
years his step daughter and her husband
kept him prisoner iu a cellar aud that he
was not permitted to leave his prison, ex
cept occasionally at night, when he would
b. allowed TO walk about the yard bound
with ropes. When visitors came to the
house, as an extra precaution gag was put
in his mouth to keep him from making any
cutlery. Some days ago he missed his usual
allowance of food, which was passed to him
through small hole in the door Hearing
no sound in the house, he determined TO
make his escape, aud with a large stone
which had worked loose in the wall, he bat
tered the door down. His relatives were
nowhere to be found, and with money
which he discovered in one Of the drawers,
BIZ came TO Pitsburg. Previous to his i'm
prisonment, he says, he was forced lu make
a will in favor of his step-daug liter, aud on
the day preceding his Incarceration the
neighbors were informed that the old man
was going to Michigan.
