BJRGrAtJEs AT LINDEN.

The house of Mr.. Albert Coles, at
Linden, was entered by burglars some
time last night. The thieves carried
away piano cover, linen sheets and
table cloths, together with large guam
tity of silver and plated ware.
The thieves next visited the house of
Mrs. Sarah Clark, whose premises they
ransacked at their pleasure. Consider
able property was carried away from this
house.
The grocery store of Mr.. Letheridge
was next visited. Here the thieves cap
tured cigars and groceries, with which
they made good their escape.
The burglars then repaired to the
Episcopal church, of which they took
possession. Here they divided their
booty-subsequently making off with a
horse and wagon, which they brought
with them. Inside the church was
found boxes and horse cover.
We would suggest the propriety of
stationing Waterman in Linden. On
some of these stormy nights somebody
may run off with the place.

THE SINGER EMPLOYEES.

On election day, some five hundred
employees of the Singer manufacturing
company, visited the company's new
works in the Second ward they were
delighted with the appearance of the
shops and the city in particular, and
are anxious for the time to come when
they can remove to their new homes
here. In few weeks several hundred
families will remove to this place-then
the shop keepers in the lower wards will
realize dreams of by-gone days.
Among other enterprising merchants
who are preparin 6 to serve those people
with goods, we may mention Mr. j. i.
Adams, at the old established store,
corner of First street and Broadway-a
gentleman every way worthy of the sue
cess which has crowned his efforts. To-
day, his counters are covered with choice
meats, poultry, etc,-all offered at
prices as low as the same goods can be
had in New York.

A PRETTY eirl, in company with her
first beau, of whom she was as proud as
a lively kitten with tin pail attached
to its " continuation, attended the lee
ture at Library hall, the other evening.
We were glad to see her SO happy. But
we have an idea that her beau is hum
bug, for he uttered more nonsense in n
half hour than a sensible young gentle
man would indulge in should his court
ship be as protracted as was Jacobs,
when he sought to win Rachels hand
and heart. A fop who, by his loud
talking, disturbs the enjoyment of de-
cent people at a public entertainment,
ought to have his mouth closed with a
handful of HoT MUsH.

SOME people are difficult to please.
We hear of many ladies who invested
fifty cents each to listen to "lecture"
at Library hall, the other evening. And
now they say the lecture wasn't worth a
cent Bets are freely offered that there
are five hundred persons in Elizabeth
who could have recited the stories of
Artemus Ward, Mark Twain, and others,
at least as impressively as the bepuf1ed
lecturer" But home talent isn't en-
couraged in Elizabeth, or else the

THE CROSS ROADS MISSION.

The friends of the Cross Roads Mis-
sion Sabbath school are again notified
that the teachers have commenced their
visitations for the winter amcng the
poor families, and they find already
great want among them, and are OBJ
liged to make another appeal to the
public for either cast off clothing or
money, both of which are very much
needed.
By a very little sacrifice and self denial
by those who can well afford it, many
little ones will be relieved from suffer
ing through the winter. The teache rs
are willing to go from house to house
and relieve their wants if those who
have heretofore lent q helping hand
will again come forward and assist us.
There have already been a number Of
applicants for shoes and clothing that
we have been obliged to turn away. The
whole section surrounding our school is
districted, the teachers visit every fami-
ly and after careful examination into
their wants and worthiness an order is
given by the sisters on a committee of
ladies, who are appointed from week to
week to distribute clothing, shoes, etc.
We have no doubt but that in few
cases we may be imposed upon las it
has been remarked by some but had
we not far better help two undeserving
ones than let one poor, innocent, deserv-
ing one suffer through this coming and
no doubt hard winter d? We need shoes
and clothing of all kinds at once for
both girls and boys, and funds to pur-
chase such articles as are not sent in.
Will you again help us Packages Of
clothing can be left at the Office Of
Charles Ross, 1874 Broad street money
may be sent by post or left as above, all
of which will be duly acknowledged.
