The sad event occurred yesterday afternoon at the family residence at Edgewood, Pennsyivania Railroad. The deceased, for some time past, had been suffering from neuralgia, but had recovered sufficiently to De able to attend to the lighter duties connected with her bousehold, and she was supposed to be on the road to entire restoration. Yesterday forenoon she moved about the bouse, superintending domestic affairs and apparently being in good health. Soon after dinner she became ill, and Dr. Semple was promptly summoned, but before he reached the house, lite was extinct, the disease baring reached her heart.

The deceased. Who was in the torty-third rear of age, WAS lady of rare worth, and was beid in loving esteem by all who enjoved ber acquaintance. Her mental and moral excellencies made her alike beloved in society and in the home, but It was in the domestic cirgraces of her character were more conspicuously exemplified. She was a devoted wife and mother and an unostentatious and faithful Christian, whose life was adorned by all the higher virtues of the religion she professed. The knowledge that her happy Christian faith bad dtted her for any change is as a silver lining to the dark cloud which shadows the stricken bousehold.

Her 1083 will be deeply felt, not only at the family freeide, but by the church, and in the circle in which she moved. The tenderest sympathy of a multitude of friends will go out to the deeply bereaved husband and children. THAT PERPLEXING CASE. The Nevin Matter Again Before the leghesy Presbytery. The Allegheny Presbytery of the Presbytertan Church held an adjourned meeting yesterday morning in Dr.

Swift's church, on Arch street, Allegheny. Dr. Swift sabmitted a paper, signed by himself and Rev. William Annan, protesting against the action of the Presbytery in electing Rev. J.

B. Bittinger, D. a commissioner to the General Assembly, on the grounds that he goes to the Assembly with a view of prosecuting an appeal of complaint, based on the action of the Synod of Erie, with regard to protracted and perplexing case, that of R. P. Nevin, referred to them from this Presbytery, This Presbytery voted for the paper passed by Synod, with but three dissenting votes, and by now electing Dr.

Bittinger 83 a commissioner, it appears to be seeking the defeat of the very action for which, in Synod, it had previously voted, thus giving an example of very questionable consistency. After some discussion between Bittinger and Dr. Lowry the latter, in bebalf of the committee to which was referred this business, submitted resolutions instructing the commissioners of the Presbytery to use their best efforts to secure from the Assembly the reiterance of the deliverance of the Synod in this case; and that in case this end cannot be attained. an effort be made to secure from the Assembly a deliverance that shall in substance reiterate the principles afirmed by the report adopted by the The resulations were adopted.

Rev. Dr. Pearson, in bebult of the church, expressed the desire that only those duly delegated by churches be accorded the power to vote, and that brethren not delegated sit as advisory only. Rev. J.

T. Griffith closed the morning session with prayer. AFTERNOON SESSION. In the afternoon the Council was called to order at two o'clock by President Shadrach. On motion of Professor Solomon a cominittee of three was appointed to report on each of the inquiries made by the Fourth avenue church.

The Moderator appointed the committees, which reported in their order. The report of the committee on the first inquiry was adopted, as follows, viz: "In answer the first inquiry of the church submitted to 18, we report that we are of the opinion that the church has acted in the best manner possible and in accordance with New Testament teaching and strict Baptist usages. It is our opinion that the church to have acted wisely could not have acted differently. We unhesitatingly affirm that they are deserving of our continued and hearty approval in the bonds of church This report was signed by William Gilkes, T. H.

Jones and J. T. Barnes, the committee. The committee on the second question reported that the church has acted correctly in dating Brother Pearson's Christian life from the time of his conversion and baptism. Signed by S.

Williams. Isaac King and D. Hammon, committee. The report was adopted. The committee on the third inquiry reported as follows, which was adopted: "Your Committee to whom has been referred the third question beg leave to report: First.

We regard the certificate of membership in a regular Baptist church 93 presumptive evidence of Christian character. and the admission to membership upon or by virtue of such certid. cate establishes the satisfactory character of such evidence. Second. We think Scripture precept and Baptist usage and sound reason alike suggest that no church should go behind other churches in granting letters of dismissal or certificates of Christian charaeter, except on the clearest evidence of fraud or deception in the securing of such certificate, and in all such cases the church with which the letter or certificate has been deposited should inform the church from which the letter is brought of such charges, and the dence they may have of their truth, and leave the question of the reconsideration of the setion granting such letter to the church from which such letter emanated.

Third. If afters netification of such charges with which the letter has been deposited the church granting the letter does not see fit to reopen the question of granting such letter, the church with which the letter has been deposited should rest satisfied that the charges are not considered well founded, and should therefore dismiss said charges. Fourth. A departure from these princiles would tend to weaken the bond of Christian love and confidence, and involve the churches 11 inextricable confusion. Signed by John Burke, John B.

Solomon and W. F. Ford, Committee. THE FINDING APPROVED. The report of the committee on the fourth inquiry was adopted as follows: "The question to sour committee AS to concurring in the finding of the Fourth avenue church investigating committee has been considered, and we submit the following.

First. The committee give evidence in their investigationa of Rifting truth and falsehood, and tinguishing between actual offenses and mere insinuations. We believe this has been done. Second. We concur in the spirit and finding of the committee.

The Conncil then adjourned. ALLEGHENY CITY. How the Bite Regarded by Sarveyor in 1758. In the eleventh volume of the page 244, the following curious and interesting letter appears. The writer was Colonel David Redick, a leading man of -Little" Washington, Pa, a century Ago, and the letter was addressed to Benjamin Franklin, then President of the Supreme Executive Council.

Colonel Redick, whale making a grave mistake as to the future of "the town opposite Pittsburgh," seems to have made reliable observations B8 10 the state of the weather that winter. Following is the letter verbatim: WARHINOTON, (Pa.) 19th of February, 1768. To His Excellency, Benj. Franklin, and the Honourable Council: This country has never experienced a winter more severe. The mercury has been at this place 12 degrees below the extreme cold point.

At Moskingdom 20, and at Pittaburgh, within the bulb or bottle. The difference may in part be accounted for by the inland situation of this place, and greater or lesser quantities of Ice at the others. It has been altogether impossible for me antil with these tew days past to stir from the On Thursday last, 1 went with several other Gentlemen to fix on the spot for laying out the town opposite Pittaburgh, and at the same took a general view the track and Ends it far inferior to my expectations, although I had been no stranger to it. There is some pretty low ground on the river Ohio and Allegania-but there is but a email proportion of dry land which appears anyway valuable for timber or soil-; but especially -for soil. It abounds with bigh bills and deep hollows, almost inaccessable to a surveyor.

I am of the opinion that if the inhabitants of the moon are capable of receiving the same advantage from the earth which we do from their world-1 say, if it be so, this same famed track of land would afford a vartety of beautifut lunar spots, not unworthy of the eye of Philosopher. I cannot think that ten acre lotta, on such pitta and hills, will porsably meet with purchasers- like a ply in a poke, it be kept out of view. Would it not be more of advantage to the State If the Legislature would alter the a town and a reasonable number of outlotta, for the accommodation of the town, be laid out'-the remainder of the land be laid out in 200 acre lots--fronting the river when practicable--and extending back 80 as to include the billy and uneven ground-which might be of some use to a farm. 1 cannot but believe than Colonel Irwin and Colonel Lowry, both members of the Assembly, and who know the land well- on consideration, be of the of opinion those with hills, methat small lotts on aides can never be of any use but as above mentioned. Perhaps council may think proper to lay the matter before the Legialature.

I shall go on to do the business as soon 89 the weatber will admit- before I shall have proceeded farther than may accord with the plan here proposed-I may have the necesaary information whether to go ou, as the law nOW directa, or not. I have the honour to be, Your Excellency's and the Honi. Councils most obedient servant. DAVID REDICE, DEMOCRATIC DELEGATES. Allegheny County's Representatives to the Democratic State Convention.

A new chemical compound has been lately devised, which in its application to extinguishing fires is quite different from the fire annihilators in general use.

The composition is a mixture of dry chemicals, which, on being ignited, evolves sulphurous-acid and carbonic-acid gases, thereby producing an atmosphere which smothers the fire out. This new substance is called "Reec's Compound Fireextinguisher." The property holders are especially requested to witness a test of this extinguisher this afternoon at four o'clock, foot of Smithfield street, where fire nourished by varnish, coal oil, benzine, will be totally extinguished.

NEW YORK, April Senate Committee investigating the Woodmn charges resumed its session to-dag st the Fifth Avenue Hotel. George Jones, publisher of the Times, the first witness.

He testifled that the strictures upon Tweed published in the Times were written under his authority. There were rumors that money had been used in Albany to influence the Legislature in the interest of a clique in New York, but the witness had not then or now any personal knowledge of corrupt measures used. Controller Kelly was next called and stated that he furnished information to work upon which the confession story was written. The witness did not know whether this informs1100 was true or not. Kelly testifled that the confession of Tweed showed him by Townsend and the Attorney General states positively that Tweed paid 000 to Senator Winslow to be divided among five Republican Senators, one of whom was Woodin: also that he paid $20,000 to Hastings for legislative influence.

it also states that Winslow told Tweed he had so distributed the that Tweed holds some six hundred checks paid by him to different parties to affect legislation. The information given witness by the Attorney beneral was not given under a pledge of secrecy. The first memoranda Townsend showed witneas stared positively that the check given to Hastings was with the understanding it should be the given to Senator Woodin; mentioned could not say if second statement this fact. The next witness was Andrew Garvey. He said be knew Tweed well, and was very friend.

THE RISE OF EDENBURG. The Rapid Growth of a New Town in the Oil Regions-Some of the Peculiarities of the Place-Business Brisk and Times Prosperous. Correspondence of the Commercial Gazette. EDENBURG, April 22, 1877. I can state, I think, without its being successfully controverted, that this 18 the champion town for mud in the United States, if not in the world.

And this is the more remarkable from the tact that outside the borough limits the roads are in comparatively excellent condition. But the streets of this exceedingly live town cannot be described. They must be seen to be appreciated. It 19 not an uncommon thing to see a team stuck in the mud, and in their struggles tall down, and then have to be drawn asbore or out of the horrible mixture by other teams. A sight like that, I venture to say, cannot be seen in the streets of Ang other town in the world.

Notwithstanding, however, the difienlty of getting about, business of all sorts is being pushed with great vigor, and new bullings are springing up in all directions. One and a years ago four dwellings, with the store of Mr. -the latter of which looks very an assuming alongside of its younger bat more stately neighbors-comprised the ancient village of Edenbur2. Now it is claimed that five thousand people, principally men, make it Their headquarters, and one would' Indge from the length of tinte that, 8 rule, it necessary tor tO wAlL for our turn at the postotti that the above figures be doubled, for I hare filed to even get my mail matter short of half an hour's waiting. The postoffice factlities are entirely too limited for the place.

Rutherford should reform this The modern town bas a large number hotels. with still more being erected, together with banks. churches. hardware, dry goods, grocery and other stores, representing all branches of the mercantile world, and all seem to be doing a good business, And now we are to have an Oil Exchaage, to rival that of Oil City, where the bovine and ursine anlinals may tusale to their lirarts' content. Like all new oil towns (alties they are called here).

Edenburg lacks the one element that tones down and civilizes such -ladies. But they will come along in due time when the maxy first-cissa men that are bere doing business bring their families, that is if the whole place is not too enon cremated, which 1 predict must almost inevitably be the case sooner or later, owing to the many oil wells within the borough, their close proximity to the buildings. The little raltroad that connecte this place with tbe outer world is doing a fine The depot at this end of the road 1s literally packed from end to end with freight, besides the large anmber of visitors it daily brines to town. Aside from the fact that it la inclined to cause the hair to rise on the beads of those with weak nerves while riding over parts of it, at f9 quite a road. Among the numerous visitors I notice the names of galte a gumber or Did Smokyites, the major portion of whom dud their way to the Bennet House, which I can assure the traveling public will be found as pleasant, 1r not the most so of the many hotels here.

In the way of amusements this week we had Jane Coombe in Pique, probably the best perforniance that ever was or will be given in the place. Sbe bad, however, but a small house, though those who were present enjoyed the play very muck. Considering the number of places where 11- quor is sold, there are fewer people seen under its infuence here than any other oil town was ever in. Whether Mr. Murphy has Lad anything to do with this state of attairs I KNOW not, but such la the fact.

New wella are struck every day, principally on the eastern and western belts, which means simply the extreme outer sides of the main belt.

plied The above caption is frequently misspby using it in connection with establishments of insignificance, and where no effort is aged to make them what the name implied bat in the connection in which it is employed here there is unquestionably no misuse of it. The term applies in its fallest sense to the Merchant Tailoring establishment of H. Hoobler, No. 87 Smithfield street, in which Mr. A.A.

Devore is cutter and general manager. The stock of goods at this establishment is one of the largest and fullest to be found in the city, embracipg, as it does, a full assortmenl in every line of goods for suits, and for coats, pants or vests, comprising all the latest styles of French, Englisb, Scotch and American Cassimeres of every grade and quality. It matters little, however, how great the variety the purchasher has to select from or how judicious his selection of goods, it after he has selected them, they are not cut to fit or made in a workmanlike manner, he will never appear well dressed, and it is this feature in which this house particularly excells. Cutting clothing is an art and science combiped, in which but few men become perfeet: but the cutter and General Manager at 87 Smithfield street, Mr. A.

A. Davore has mastered the science, and acquired the art in its perfection. He has been engaged in the business for a ver of years, and is man of most excellent judgment which added to his many years ef experience, has given him a most perfect knowiedge and thorough understanding of the basiness in all its details, and as a consequence when a man is dressed in a suit of clothes cut by Devoer, he is well dressed, looks neat and genteel no matter of what material it is made. All work at this well known establishment is warranted to give the most perfect satisfaction, and it is the place to get clothing cut in the latest Broadway style.
