Fashionable Spring Colors.

1t may be interesting to our lady
readers to know that the ground work
Of all popular styles in dress goods,
this spring, is grey, drab, ashes ofro-
ses, and steel color in all the different
shades of this large family of the
mode. Mixed black and white, in a
most imperceptable chene, produces
the same effect, and is equally in
vogue. This groundwork is alla-
nance with designs in one or two col
ers, rarely in chintz, expecting in
very rich silk or jaconet muslins. The
new shades so much in vogue last win
ter, mauve, lavender, fascia, and mar
guerite, but not so much as the Qua
ker colors. No fonnced robes-one
of the wide stripe or immense patterns
which makes woman look as if she
were constructed of Ouch tiles, or re-
presenting a great patch of sun-fowers
are to be found among the new dress
goods. A very pretty check washing
silk win be much worn, designed for
three and Eve founces; also a popu-
lar style of small figured black silks,
exceedingly cheap.

Retaining Fallen Women

The movement in London for thu
reformation of fallen women has beer
attended with remarkable results
Similar measures have been adopted
10 other large cities Of Great Britain
with success. In Glasgow, over 200
have been received into the Refuge
and provided with employment, mainly
through the efforts Of a single lady,
who devoted herself to this work and
many more have applied, but have
been rejected. from the want of means
for their support. Of l63 who had
only twenty had relapsed, and nearly
all of these had returned Of their own
accord, bit erly repenting their weak
ness, and desiring further opportunity
of reformation. As the moss insidious
means were adopted to lure them ba4k
to vice, the secessions were encourag-
ingly limited In Dublin, too, SINH
movement has been inangurated, and
very considerable number have en-
braced the opportnni of abandoning
their evil courses. Much has been
and is still being done to reach this
class in New York.

THE FIRE ENGINE.

While learned and dignifed Senators in our
national councils are devising measures for the
restoration of peace and consequent prosperity
to our shattered and dismembered Union, ques-
,ions of grave Importance have arisen in the
councils and among the soyereigns Of Lambert
vile a town-meeting has been called, and
co mmittee OF scientific gentlemen appointed to
consider and report upon the better way to Sc
cure our homes and property from the Tayages
by fire. Already, it is said, a deputation'. bas
visited the Quaker City, seeking Information,
&c. This necessarily involves loss of time, and
an expenditure of money, all of which can be
avoided, were committees and men generally
able to open their eyes wide enough to see that
at their very doors all necessary information
can be obtained; The proprietor of the great
Stove establishment in Church street has ap-
pointed himself committee of one to consider
the matter, and herein submits his report,
which is approved by the qeAoie committee. AT
ter a careful examination, the "Globe" is re-
ported out of order and of no use, but the COM
mittee take great pleasure in stating that after
proper inquiries nothing better presents itself
which would so completely protect us from
fagratiOn than liberal patronage of the great
stove establishment Church street. Because

The committee further report that it is un
wise and impolitic to impose an additional tax
upon our citizens for new engine, inasmuch
as the end desired can be well secured at an in
considerable outlay, as at the place recommend

NARROW ESCAPE. Mr.. William
Shook, well-known farmer of New

road, on Tuesday. He attempted to
jump on the cars while in motion, and
missing his footing was dragged a con-
siderable distance before the train was
stopped. Mr.. Shook had never been
on the cars previous to this trip, and
must have been ignorant of the dan
ger of jumping on a moving train.

shoulders, back and joints, cronp, sore
threat, bruises, strains, cuts and lar
cerations Of all sorts, on men and ami

his own family where the application
of this oil gave instant and perma-
nant relief, and its effect so beneficial,
he has thought proper to make the
discovery known to the public.

are not, from appearances, more
than half way through with their

upon the duties of their posts with
q firm resolve to dispose of busi-
ness as fast as it comes up, with
proper. expedition. The people
are. paying over eight hundred
dollars per day, to keep the ma

each have word to say before
adjournment, in order that their
names may find q place upon the
pages of the official register
Their constituencies, we feel as
sured, at the present time will feel
much more qualification at their
silence, at least when a judlcious
regard for the public welfare does
not imperativeiy demand that
they should speak. We want,
therefore, 10 long-winded ha7
