o'clock dsv before yesterday morning an able
bodied negro man entered residence IN

which threw the good citizens living in the

one supposing that the cries proceeded from
one who was being murdered. A number OF
gentleman rushed to the rescue OF the unfor-
tunate female, and found colorei man beat
ing bis wife. Every time he slapped her she
yelled. An inquiry into the cause OF this
strange conduct upon the part Of the husband,
led to the inference that she had been unfaith-

without interfering left the scene, as did the
pair-the female crying and the male quarrel

New YORK FAsHroNs.-A New York letter
gives us the following Fashion hints
"Dotted dresses are fashionable, but the dots
must be quite fine and in black or stone color
on white ground, AMI the trimming is many
narrow folds Of dark silk with wide epace
between. and one small bow without ends.
"Cambric wrappers Of the fine thread Cross
bars, now fancied IN lilac, sea green and bright
coIors, are sold ready-mads for ak dollars at
one Of the large houses here. They are
loose, gored shape, aounced, with rufae up the
front seams and over the shoulder the mate
rial at retail is forty cents yard, and the work
well done.
Dresses OF white, striped with black in fine
lines an inch apart, and trimmed with the
same, are much worn for change, over black
pettiooats. with single deep aounce. A light
yet striking toile. for one 30 cheap is Of black
and white solid stripes, in thin worsted mate
rial. worth fifty cents yard. The gored un-
dersklrt is trimmed with two puffs Of black
silk, the lower one three inches from the
edge.
"Speaking of linen suits, the newest are
trimmed with two graduated quilted aounces
bound in brown, with two quill I'd ruches of the
same, three inches wide above the founc .s,
with rather wide interval. The basque is
square in the neck, with quillings, the sleeve
wide with quilting at the wrist. the sash Of
brown silk or lneu simply bound with braid.
The gray linen is worn almost as much as buff.
and is preferred because it is purer material.
Linen suits ready made ore ten dollars to six
teen dollars.
"Roush straw hats are the latest fancy for
young ladies, and nothing sets off a simple
toilet with an air like one Of them, with wide
band aud long floating ends Of black ribbon,
with Ro nan bar at the end. To be fashionable
one must not look Tor refined rough straw, an
English, Milan or pedal braid, but choose gen.
uine smooth coarse braid, with none OF the cor
ners split in weaving, which give prickly et-
feet; bind the brim with black ribbon, fold the
same for band, cross and pin it behind, leav.
ing ends three-quarters Of yard long. The
Roman bar is initiated by sefing fold of gay
striped satin ribbon across the end of the
streamess. Hats for blondes are bound and
trimmed in bright blue, without the scarlet
bar, but black ls best, for it suits any dress
that can be worn with it. These hats are ca.
peciauy suitable to wear with linen or pique
suits. They are rather expensive pieces Of
simplicity. for ono trimmed by French hand
costs from ten to fourteen dollars"

ATTEMPTED BURNING oFA DwEILINa-FTE
PERSONS BURNT, OHE FATALLT.-About two
O'Clock yesterday morning, Mrs. E. E. Calder,
residing with her father, Mr.. E. @. Prince. at
No. Ann, near Elizabeth. street, was aroused
by light in her chamber, in which abe, with
her two children, one an infant four months
old, slept. She Immediately jumped up and
discovered that the bed was on fire, burning
from the bottom. She gave the alarm, and
her father aud brother, Mr.. J. E. Prince, came
to her assistance. They rescued the children
from the flames, which, with some difficulty
and after two beds were burnt, were extin-
guished.
Mrs. Calder, her brother aud father, we're
burnt about the hands and arms while rescu-
ing the children, both Of whom were severely
birnt. One of them, Edwin Charles, about
three years of age, fingered in excruciatipg
agony until seven O'clock yesterday afternoon,
when death put an end to his sufferings. At .
late hour last night no hopes Of the recovery
Of the babe were entertained. The injuries
sustained by the others were of a comparative
Iy trifing character, and they are now doing
we'll.
After the flames were extinguished, and the
children attended to, an examination of the
room was made. A kerosene oil lamp, which
Mr.. Prince asserts, positively, at twelve O'Clock
when he retired. blew out and placed upon the
1autelpiece, was found under the bed. It
wss out, having, Of ,urse. been extinguished
with the beds and bedding. The lamp was
touching the washboard of the house, which
was partially burnt.
The family have no suspicion OF who the in
cendiary was, or what motive prompted him to
this fiendish deed. The fend must have gotten
into the house in the early part of the night,
when all of the family were in the back portion,
and concealed himself. How he got out is yet
q mystery, as there is no trace to show where
he made his egress. oAief Engineer Nathans
will give the matter Thorough investigation,
and will do oil that can be done to bring the
perpetrator to justice.
Tie shop next door to Mr.. Princes residence.
kept by Mr.. b. Wohlkin, has, within the last
year, been set on fire three times, but the
flames we're extinguished before any damage
was done.
Mr.. Prince and family request us to return
their grateful thanks to the neighbors for their
prompt and valuable assistance in their hour
of calamity aud distress.
