ReA- The literary and musical soiree
at Library Hall on Thursday evening,
was very fine affair. The audience
though small, was very select, remind
ing us of similar audiences which well
coined several of our lecturers during
the past winter but the few present
were well paid for their attendance.
The vocal part of the entertainment
agreeably surprised us the singing of
Miss J. X. Harvey and Miss Flora Fos-
ter was well received. The pretty
Duet, "See the Pale Moon" by Misses
Harvey and Plumb, was very fne,-
showing the pleasant alto of Miss Har-
vey and the sweet soprano Of Miss
Plumb to be of elegant scope. Mr.. S.
G.. Plumb, the reader, rendered Dickens
in an admirable manner, and received
pleasant notice by the audience, and
last but truly not least, Mr.. J. N. Patti
son, the Pianist, was, as the ladies
would say, perfectly splendid" and
that he is what he is claimed to be, the
finest Pianist in the country. Those
who were not fortunate in being pres
ent on Thursday evening, should avail
themselves of the opportunity afforded
them at the complimentary concert of
Miss Lizzie Lutz next Thursday even
ing March 81.

G9~ Short dresses are good things
for the shoemakers and bad for the
doctors. The ladies buy and wear
better shoes, and the doctors report a
noticeable decline in diseases among
women from cold, damp feet. When
long garments prevailed, women were
very careless in this respect, often wear
ing thin and broken shoes, and this,
together with the dampness always
clinging to their long skirts brought on
illness, which not unfrequently result
ed fatally.

MIR. EDITOR FROM pefuSal OF
resolution offered by Councilman
Woodruff, in the City Council, on
Wednesday, March 18th, persons would
naturally suppose that had been guilty
of an extraordinary offence, or gross diz
reelection of duty, which required severe
and speedy punishment. The matter
being in the hands of the police COM
mittee for investigation, [ would be in
clined to let the matter rest there, but
that I consider it due to myself and
friends to dlsabnse the public mind
from any wrong impression which a
reading of the resolution referred to
would be likely to make; I therefore
request the privilege of laying the facts
before the public through the columns
of your wide spread paper. While rr
turning from Newark to Elizabeth in
train of cars on the New Jersey Rail-
road on that evening, respectable cit
izen of this place, when asked for his
ticket by the conductor, gave him 25
cents, and received back five cents,
whereupon he inquired how much the
fare was, under the impression that he
should have received more change.
Some words took place between them
and the conductor passed on; and
another individual came along and COM
menced an onslaught on the exacting
passenger, amid cries of shame" by
his fellow travellers. The assaulted
passenger seeing me, called upon me
for protection, and believing it not the
duty of Rail Road officials to maltreat
their passengers, requested the assai-
liant not to choke the man, whereupon
he answered it was none of my d
business; if [ interfered he would choke
me too; which he Immediately attempt
ed to do, coming off second-best in the
attempt. He then asked by what au-
thority 1 interfered with him in the
discharge of his duty. I pointed to my
shield as, my authority, when he told
me he was detective IN The employ of
the company. By this time the train
arrived at Elizabeth, and the aggrieved
passenger demanded that the assailant
should be arrested aud held to answer
for his conduct; that he was determined
to make a complaint against him,
whereupon I ordered that both should
be taken before squire to be dealt
with as law and justice required.
This, Mr.. EDITOR, is true statement
of the whole affair, which [ would have
made before bad I not been waiting for
the report of the committee which has
the matter in hand and I doubt not,
Judging from the upright character, hui
name and generous disposition of the
gentleman who offered the resolution,
if he were in my place that he would
have acted as did At all events 1
believe had I acted differently, reason
able complaint might have been made
against me for conduct unbecoming an
officer of this city.

AUTUMN.

Yes, the fair green leaves are turning
Brighter colors day by day,
with their gold and crimson burning,
Candy mourning Of decay
AsI look around me near me,
See the ripe and dead leaves fall
All, full well 1 know tits Autumn,
Autumn now that reigns DER ALL
Ohthe Autumn, dearest season
To my mind OF all the year,
Nature brighter seems by reason
OF stern Winters reign SO near.
Then the sweet and dreamy moments
OF the misty quiet days
Wrap the earth in mantled Stiffness
With its cleaning golden haze
