y FAMILY OF Four BURNED TO DEATH.
A terrible calamity occurred at Rock
away. Morris county, N. j., which re-
suited in the burning of family of
four persons. A frame dwelling. occu-
pied Ivy Mr.. Givenen and his family.
took fire, it is supposed, from a defective
hue, about two o'clock A. NJ, and was
quickly burned to the ground. Mr.. and
Mrs. Givenen and three children were
sleeping in an upper story. Before Mrs.
Givenen and the children could be cot
ont Che fire had reached them and es-
cape was impossible. When the build
ing had been torn to pieces and the fire
eXtinguishcd, the charrcd remains of the
woman and children were recovered. 1t
is suspected that the fire was the work of
incendiaries. There was in the house
S3, 600 in cash, aud although no proof
has been found that there were robbers
about, 1t is suspected that the money
was stolen and the house afterwards fired.

How MINISTER LOST A THOUSAND
DOLLARS. The Lehigh Valley Penn
Gazette publishes this A wealthy WI
Transport gentleman became so much
attached to clergyman Of that city that
he asked him to preach his uneral SER
mon, no matter where he m {, bit be. The
pastor promised that no matter what the
distance that separated them, or the DIFF
ficulties that might be placed between,
he would, when informed of the death
of his old friend, drop all else and hasten
to the spot that was to be the resting
place Of his mortal remains. The pastor
afterward removed from that vicinity,
and short time ago received the sad
announcement that his friend was dead
Instead of keeping his promise, he re-
piled that he was unable to be present,
as he could not close his church, &c
The funeral took place in due season,
but the pastor was not there to perform
the last sad rites over the body of his
departed friend. The ceremonies, how
ever, were performed by another, and
afterward, when the will was opened, it
appeared that the old man had been
faithful in death as he was in life, and
bequeathed 81, 600 to his old friend, pro-
vided he preached his funeral sermon.
His feelings can better be imagined than
described, we suppose.

Fashion Notes.

A new style of necklaces is made OF
Dead Sea shells and pebbles.
A new style of artificial flowers are call
ed "Chicago smoke buds"
Tameness in women is, with most men,
the most objectionable offence.
Ladies are becoming afraid to wear
their diamonds on the public prone
nadcs.
The new street costume takes thirty
yards of wide silk to trim it a Ia mode.
Black silk costumes, richly embroidered
in colored silk floss, ore among the Spring
novelties.
Parasols this year are trimmed with
lace to match the color Of the material
of which it is made.
The accidental breaking of wedding
ring is said to be I'M omen that its wearer
will soon be widow.
Many extravagant young city ladies
pay S35 and $40 for the making up of
fifty cent calico.
A new kind of trimming for lace scarfs
and wells Is a lace fringe, which is very
pretty and effective.
The newest style of necktes are of
black lace interspcrsed with small knots
of colored ribbon or crepe de chine.
The Dolly Warden bonnets are said to be
the prettiest and most becoming head
gear that has been worn by women for
centuries.
The latest fashionable ornaments are Of
amber, and will, in few months, COM
pletelv supercede the tortoise shell Jewell
ry, which has held its own fer an unu
suallv long time.
Self-colored cashmere of soft shades.
especially mouse and felt gray, are made
up into tunics and skirts to match. Both
skirt and tupic are trimmed with Fittings
of white muslin. These Outings are
pleated upon a narrow bias, or gathered
over piping cord. so that they are easily
removed for washing. Plain muslin hi IS
are also used for trimmings, and are sim.
ply tackled upon the material.
A BArcH.-The Tichborne case will
at least have the merit of giving LAWYERS
a remarkable illustration of the fallibility
of human testimony The would-be
baronot was supported in his claim by
his own evidence and the oaths of Is
witnesses, comprising Lady Tichborne,
the family solicitor, ! baronet, 6 magis-
trates, l general, 3 colonies, l major,
captains, 80 non-commissioned officers
and privates, clergymen. tenants of
the estate 16 servants of the family, aud
II general witnesses who all swore to /.
his identity. On the other hand, II
witnesses denied his claim, but the ev-
dence Of less than four of them plainly
s9fficed TO convince the jury that the
claimants case was based entirely upon
false or at least mistaken testimony.

COMPLETION OF THE Masonic LODGE Room.
After many weeks of labor by the most
skilled and careful mechanics Obtainable, the
Lodge Room of the New Masonic Temple is
at last completed, and, as was supposed, is by
far the handsomest room Of the kind in the
State. The ceiling is handsomely frescoed
and Ornamented with two circ'es IN one of
Wisdom. Strength and Beauty; in the other,
Faith, Hope and Love. Between the circles
is beautiful illustration Of an open copy of
the Holy Bible resting upon clouds. The
and the panels OF light blue. Atthe eastern
end of the room there are three arches, sur.
mounted by the letter q, set in cOl0rs.
The room, as completed. presents a most
handsome and elegant appearance, and is at
specimen of the artistic ability Of the vari-
Gus workmen engaged in its construction.
