s&as1 The advent of the New Year
has deprived the ladies of an inestima-
hIe privilege, which, we are informed,
they have in this vicinity very hber-
ally exercised that of popping the ques-
ton. The general exercise of this
Leap Year privilege by the ladies, is
probably the reason why the question
of woman's rights attained such prom
inence during 1868. They found the
exercise of this masculine prerogative
So alluring, that the idea of surrender
ing it at the end of the year struck
them with dread, and hence their fran
tic efforts to perpetuate their rights.
rimid bachelors we notice, have of
late lost careworn' and frightened
look from their countenances, and they
walk the streets with all the lively and
independent airs of recently emancipat-
ed slaves. They still, however, steer
shy of some of the more determined
damsels.

red last evening at the residence of
Rev. DIR. Miller. pastor of the Broad
street Baptist Church. The Doctor
and his estimable lady were made the
recipients of valuable and elegant pres
ents. The tables were abundantly sup
piled with delicacies and Injuries. The
large company present gave every indi-
cation of enjoyment, and left at late
hour with blessings ON the pastor and
his family.

The Scientific American affirms that
the silly fashion of wearing high heeled
boots and shoes must be creating a
rich harvest for corn doctors, and it is
sure to result in greater or less degree
of deformity. Especially may the let
ter consequences be expected in the
case of young. children. When the heel
is raised, as is the prevalent custom,
the bones of the thigh, pelvis and leg,
as we'll as the foot, are thrown into
abnormal positions and while the
bones maintain their Elasticity, the
effect of such unnatural tension is sure
to be prepetuated, in the shape of
crooked shins, handy legs, elephant-toe-
joints, and cramped ungraceful gait.

SUDDEN DEATH. An old man named
Carrot Cronan, who for a year past has
labored ON the streets, while conversing
with Mr.. John Byrne, Assistant Street
Commissioner, at seven o'clock this
morning, in Elizabeth avenue, near JEFF
ferson, suddenly started off on quick
run, but falling heavily to the ground,
striking his face, which received a severe
bruise. Mr.. Byrne fastened to his re-
lief, but on reaching him found that
life had quit the body. For half an hour
the body remained on the sidewalk

tions for burial. Sergeant Cotton, of

neas A day or two ago we copied from
the Trenton State Gazette an obituary
on the death of Captain Funck, and
after making diligent inquiry of sew
eral of our oldest residents, expressed
the opinion that the Gazette" had
made mistake. Yesterday, however,
we received a communi cation from
Colonel James W. Woodruff. of this
city, who "knew the family well. -
The Colonel says there were two
brothers, Captain James Funck. who
commanded the good ship William
Tell, Rev. Seymour P. Funck, who oc-
cupied pulpit in New York city, and
who frequently exchanged with the late
Rev. DR.. Mcdowell, of this city, and
two sisters-one of whom married a
Mr. Carberry. have often heard Capt.
Funck express himself, both after his
return, and previous to his departure
on his ocean trips, that he had passen-
gers engaged for passages each way,
so great Was the confidence reposed in
him. Capt. Funck visited me some
years ago, since which time have en-
tirely lost sight of him."

RoBBERIEs. Mrs. Charles N. Noe was
awakened at six clock yesterday morn
ing. by hearing noise under her bed.
She cried for help, at which her hus-
band came to her assistance. On open
ing the door, Mr.. Doe was met by q
stout-built man, who was endeavoring
to make his escape from the room. AL.
though it was yet dark, Mr.. Doe Crap
pied with the fellow, who, after strug-
gle. succeeded in shaking off, Mr.
Doe, who was physically the weaker
party. The burglar then seized small
lamp which Mrs. Doe had in the mean
time lighted, and ran down stairs, seiz-
ing his boots which he had left at the
door on entering the house. and made
good his escape barefooted over the
fields. Mr.. Doe was unable to follow
the villain, who got nothing for his
daring enterprise"
At four o'clock on the same morning
yesterday two young ladies, who re-
side on Newark avenue, a mile or so
from the city, heard man walking
about in their bedroom. The eldest
of the sisters at once gave the alarm,
when villainous looking customer
sprang to their bedside, saying " Not
another word, pretty miss, or I'll kill
YOU" Two young gentlemen, sleeping
in an adjoining room, hearing q noise,
fastened to the assistance of the girls,
but before they were able to reach the
door, the burglar had made his exit.
The bureau drawer which contained ite
welry. etc., was found open, but moth
ing is known to have been taken. The
girls say they don't know who was the
most frightened-the burglar or them
selves.
For a long time past our city has been
free from the operations of robbers, al
though cities adjoining us are over-run
with them. Our police, however, will
do well to redouble their vigilance, es-
pecially during the next few days

BEAUTY BASKET. seraph friend,
fond Of floral fixtures, says that if you
will procure a large seized turnip and
scrape out the inside, leaving a pretty
thick wall around fill the cavity with
earth, and plant in it some clinging
vine, or morning glory, suspend the
turnip with cords, and in little time
the vines will Irvine around the string,
and will put forth leaves and stems that
will turn upwards and curl gracefully
around the base.

CHEERFUL WOMEN. %, if gloomy
women did but know what comfort
there is in a cheerful spirit How the
heart leaps up to meet a sunshiny
face, a merry tongue, and even temper,
and heart which either naturally or,
what is better, from conscientious prin-
ciples, has learned to take all things on
the bright side, believing thai The Civ
er of life, being all perfect lope. the
best offering we can make to Him is TO
the full what he sends of good, and
bear what he allows of evil like child
who when once it believes in its father,
believes in all his doings with it,
whether it understands them or not.
Among the secondary influences which
can be employed, either by or upon a
naturally anxious or morbid tempera-
ment, there is none so ready to hand,
or so wholesome, as that SO often re-
ferred to-constant employment. A
very large number of women, particu-
larly young women, are by nature con-
stituted SO exceedingly restless of
mind, or with such strong physical
tendency to depression, that they can
by no possibility keep themselves in a
state of even-tempered cheerfulness,
except by being continually occupied.

The WEATHER. - The remarkable
mildness of the present winter, is D
matter OF considerable and general sur
prise to all. Instead of facing Attic
breczes and snow blasts, common at this
season of the year, mutfied up to the
ears with all the clothing we can carry,
we find it even difficult to perambulate
with ordinary winter garments, yet
alone be afflicted with anything in the
shape of an overcoat. rhe boys look
gloomy and downcast because they are
compelled to stow their sleds away in
the cellars, and skaters and sleighists,
appear very much dispirited as the heat
of the sun becomes more intense. and
the snow upon the highways melt away,
leaving nothing but slnsh and mud.
It's IN i'll wind, however, that blows no.
body any good, and the poor in this
ease are benefited greatly by the serene
weather, There is plenty employment
for bricklnyers and masons. and for all
occupations of an ut-of-door nature.
The builders seem to avail themselves
of the condition of the weather, and
are actively pushing forward all work
for which they have contracted. The
severest sufferers financially are the
dealers in coal, who calculated on
long and severe winter and the scarcity
of the fuel inflated prices early in the
season to such a degree, that they have
long since seen nothing but serious
losses before them, and have been con-
sequently compelled to submit to se-
rious depreciation in their prices in or
der to effect sales.
