ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF INVITATIONS.

Invitations TO dinner or supper
should always be promptly acknowl-
edged by a written acceptance, or a
written apology for declining, that the
host may know how many guests to
expect. 1t has sometimes happened
that expensive dinners have been pre-
pared for thirty guests, none of whom
had declined, yet not half of them
would appear. Had the absentees been
civil enough to have declined in sea-
son, others might have been invited,
or the table might have been made
smaller.
Ifinvitations to balls or parties can
not be accepted, a written apology
should be sent, even ifon the evening
Of the entertainment.
Guests at dinners or other entertain
ments should call on their host within
a week, as an acknowledgment of the
hospitality.

RETURN OF VISITS.

Visits should always be acknowl-
eyed, either personally, or by leaving
cards. Gentlemen leave a card for
the gentlemen they visit, and another
for the ladies ofhis family, ifthere are
any. Ladies only leave cards for la
dies.

Fire in Pennington.

Yesterday morning, about Ii O'Clock. the
barn, harrack apd COW house OF Rev. Isaac
Winner, at Pennington, was destroyed by FIRE,
together with a considerable quantity Of hay,
straw and fodder, and two horses which it was
found impossible toremove. Three strangers,
travellers, who had been seer in the neighbor-
hood a few hours before the fire was discev-
cred. were suspected, and were arrested in this
city, and taken before the neighborhood. Or
their examination it appeared that they passed
the place about s o'clock. and as the fire did
not break out until after II, it was hardly
possible that they could have been the incen-
diaries. After a thorough examination they
were discharged.
Suspicion now rests upon a girl, abont l6
or II years of age, a servant of Mr.. Winner,
whom he procured from the New York House
of Refuge. She was seen to run from the
barn a few minutes before the fire broke ont,
and from this and other circumstances, there
is strong reason to believe that she was the
i~ncendiary.
P. S.-Since writing the above, VT learn
that the girl, whose name is Rebecca J. Cald-
well, was arrested and brought to Trenton by
B. F. Yard, ESQ. She was taken before w.
G.. Howell, Esq, when she confessed to the
crime, and was committed to the County Jail
Mr.. Winner, in his efforts to save the horses
and cows, we understand, came near losing his
life. The loss is about $l500-insurance

Building Associations.

W - 49,
Incur last issue we referred to a notice in
the Princeton Press, stating that an applica-
ton would be made at the approaching session
of our Legislature for the passage Of an act to
close up Building Associations. The "Press'
did not state the object for making this april
cation. We have always believed these asso
citations, when properly managed, to be very
beneficial ; enabling any person, by paying
easy iustalments-in some cases exceeding but
very little the amount his rent would be--tc
secure a home of his own.
The Freehold Association, we are certain is
and has always been of much value in that
respect. 1t has supplied many persons with
means who are now in a fair way to provide
themselves with a comfortable home, and who
would not have done so habit not been for
the organization of the Association. That
these associations, like all other human insti-
have their imperfections, We have no
doubtful we look upon their good qualities
as far overbalancing the bad. What great
objection there can be to them, and why this
attempt is to be made to prevent their organi-
we are at a loss to conceive. Can the
Princeton Press enlighten us on the subject?

Essay on " Party Spirit for which the soci-
ETY. rendered him . vote of thanks.
Next came the question for debate: " Is the
Married Life more conclusive to Happiness
than the Single." 1t was handled by the dis
putants in a manner highly gratifying, and
not to be sneered at, even in some Of our Cap
ital towns. The appeal of Boss w, and his
associate, in favor of the married life,' brought
from the Doctor and his colleague, such we'll
timed, and foreible refutation of their argu-
ment, as to compel the Chairman to decide the
question in favor of Single Life The Socie-

B9~ The St. Louis papers of the 18th give a
detailed account of the explosion at Belcher's
sugar refinery. The bodies of thirteen men
were gradually exhumed from the heated
masses of brick, iron and wood. Three were
corpses, scalded and mangled in the most
dreadful manner, and the others were terribly,
and several of them fatally wounded. Some
twenty laborers were employed in the building,
not one of whom appears to have escaped suf-
iciently unframed to give any coherent &C.
count of the catastrophe he experienced
The concession shook the earth and buildings
for several squares, and was heard with per-
feet distinctness over all the north eastern part
of the city. The southern and western walls
Of the engine buildings were blown out, and
ponderous masses of timber and iron were
thrown sixty feet upward into the air.
