BEG The Rev. Mr.. Holly, rector of
Christ Church. Sussex, has written a
communication to the Sussex Register
denying the truth of the report circu-
lated recently that Bishop Odenheimer
would not in confirmation lay hands
on persons wearing false hair. We pub
lish this information for the benefit of
such of our lady readers as contemplate
receiving the rite of confirmation.
They will, no doubt be gratifed by the
fact, that, on that occasion it will not
be necessary to dispense with chignons,
or waterfalls, or switches.

Befg~ The fire which we noticed yes
terday as having occurred in Pine
street, Second ward, on Sunday even
ing, was caused by the explosion of a
kerosene lamp. We have heard it
stated that man was attempting to fill
it with oil while lighted, hence the ex-
plosion. The man himself was badly
burned about the face, neck and should
ers. When will people. learn to be
more careful? The poor stuff. called
oil, which is purchased ct such low
price, is more dangerous than gunpow-
der, and should be handled accordingly.
1t ought to be made the duty of some
one to inspect the oils sold in this city,
and those qualities. containing more
Naptha, than any other, ingredient,
should be prohibited from being sold.
Will not the City Council take the
matter in hand, and apply the necessa-
ny remedy We shall then have less
use for our fire department.

RUNAWAY. Yesterday afternoon the
horse attached to the grocery wagon
of Mr. Theodore Williams, becoming
frightened, ran furiously down Broad
street to East Grand, where in turning
the corner he "tripped himself and
fell, overturning the wagon. The
horse quickly regained his feet and,
by brilliant stroke, placed the wagon
on the wheels, and then dashed aw ay,
greatly to the surprise of those who
Witnessed the affair."

WORTHY OF INITIATION. The New Jer-
sey Central Railroad company has APP
pointed number of district surgeons
along their line. to attend to injuries
from accidents. The new cars Of the com
pany are made unusually comfortable
by means of new heater recently in
troduced. In construction it is similar
to the stoves in use on the different rail
roads, but possesses many advantages
over them. These heaters create the
uniform heat throughout the car, omit
ting the sulphurous smell, and can be
used in summer as well as winter, the
heat being regulated to conform with
temperature of the weather. Any de-
gree of heat can be attained, from sixty
to two hundred degrees. They consume
less coal than any other heater in use,
and box filed with water is attached,
to arrest sparks and dust.

SHORT DRESSES. 1t is stated in some
of our fashion books that short dresses
are to be all the rage and they are even
to take the place of the long trailing
skirt in our ball room. What is meant
by short dresses, we presume, is the
dress as worn at present on the streets,
which we regard not only as the neat
est, most tasteful and 1ady-like of any
introduced probably during the past
century. What is known, III the fash
ionable world and in popular parlance
as street sweepers, cannot be dispensed
with too soon, as they are absolutely
ridiculous in every sense of the word.
But few persons, we apprehend, would
desire to continue that fashion. Tt is
expensive, inconvenien5 and certainly
not comfortable or handsome. In
crowded thoroughfares they are Ill the
time liable to be trod upon, and when
the crossings are muddy and the pave
ments damp and unclean they require
certain amount of lifting which is
both awkward and laborious. Besides
this the trailing of an expensive dress
on the hard ground or pavement wear
them out, soils their colors and destroys
the beauty and the fneness of their
texture. Let the short, or walking
dress, be continued by all means. 1t is
the neatest, the most tasteful and the
most becoming o; all others.

ASSAULT AND BATTERY. Some days
ago constable Waters attached"
horse belonging to Mr.. George Beatty,
living on the poor-house road, near this
city, and gave due notice that the ami
NAL would be sold on the Doth day of
March, to satisfy a certain creditor.
Yesterday the horse was taken from the
stables of Mr.. J. G. Vanfeet, where he
had lately been living luxuriously, and
put up at auction at the farm-the place
of sale, which came off according to
appointment. The horse had become
the property of another man for the
sum of $35, who was departing with
him, when Mr.. and Mrs. Beatty, who
had been sup town." suddenly appear
ed on the scene. The latter, having a
particular affection for the animal,
seized him by the halter and refused
to loose her hold. Constable Waters,
compelled to give possession of the
property just sold, babe the woman ''let
co. to which she Indignantly refused
to comply. The decided manner in
which she spoke rather COMPOUNDED the
officer, but he was not to be thwarted
by woman, so he boldly advanced,
and striking the horse to cause him to
move forward, received not only tor
rent of fierce invectives, bat slap over
the head from an umbrella, welded
scientifically by the lady" The con-
stable attempted to defend himself, but
the blows fell thick and fast, the officer
defending himself as best he could with
his own umbrella. The woman was a
match for the constable, but he had
CLAW" on his side, so he pitched in,
rendering it necessary for the amiable
Mrs. B. to call upon her liege lord for
assistance, who at once committed, it
is alleged, an assault upon the officer
Constable Melvin, being near by, was
called upon by constable Waters to as
sist in recovering the horse. After
some additional "sparing," the animal
was taken away, and the officers return
ed to the city, where warrants were is
tined for the arrest of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Beatty, who to-day will be call
ed upon to answer a number of very
serious charges, preferred by constable
Walters. The affair is of o rather seri-
GUS nature, and will likely cause much
trouble to the parties charged with re-
sistance to the law.

BeaY SoIREE DRAN1ATIoUE. = Perhaps
there never was more intelligent or
select audience than the one assembled
at Library Hall last evening-the occa-
sian being the first appearance in this
city of the Railway Athaeneum Associa-
ton, who rendered new version of
Caste" and the comedy of Ellis last
Legs" in response to an invitation from
our leading citizens. Some 1900 or
1900 ladies and gentlemen were present
in full dress, and the evening was most
pleasantly passed. The audience did
not dispense till after - o'clock, when
each and every one reluctantly depart
ed. The ladies and gentlemen of the
" association were each the favored re-
cipient of the most beautiful baskets,
filled with choicest flowers, while bo-
quets were thrown in profusion over
the stage.
We never passed a more enjoyable
evening, and the gentlemen who re-
quested our Railway friends to favor
us with the rich treat, deserve the warm
est thanks of all who were fortunate
enough to be present.
Library Hall never before contained
such an audience-perhaps never will,
unless the association" visit us again.
