A Hot PursvuiT aNp SuccESSFUL EscaPs.—Life is so sweet to us all that there is an irresistibie weight of conviction in the observation tbat not one of us can realize the dangers and risks we would en- counter, and often successfully, when driven to the wall. Recorder Aldridge, of Hudson City, was oc- cupied for an hour or so yesterday morning in hearing @ case 19 which he issued warrants for the arrest of o squad of who playea some pranks that will certainly bring @ few 01 them into troubie. On Sanday evening they went to the house of Edward Boden, in Grove street, where they jumped over the fence, effected an en- trance to the house and called out for Boden, whom they threatened to kill, They mustered in such nurnbers and displayed such an angry determination that Boden became terror-stricken and fled up stairs. Tuither they pursued him, and in order to escape their vengeance he leaped from the window to the ground outside, a distance of about fifteen feet. He was more irightened than hurt, and pick- tug hivsell up he decamped to a neighboring house, where he was afforded protection against the young brood of tormentors. Two of the gang. named py hye and Albert Harriet, were arrested and to bail in $200. WESTCHESTER COUNTY, Founp Drownep.—Coroner Bathgate, of Morris- ania, heid an inquest at Port Morris yesterday on the remains of an unknowi man found m the East river, near that pli by some fishermen, early in the morning.

RowpyisM at Mowktsanta.—It 1s a fact generally commented upon by the taxpayers of Morrisania that since the Sunday police force has been in- cresed lawlestness and rowdyism on that day have, Mf anything, become more intolerable than before, Last Sabbath avernoon a party of intoxicated visit- ors amused themse!res by assaniting every citizen who came in their way, while two of the town police looked on and refused to tnterfere.

Po "M THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE, Decline of American Trade. “Grombier” comments @Mrmatively on an cdito- Tial in the HERALD ofthe 9th inat. on the decline of American trade and shippiig. He is of opinion that what the “country most wants, next to an inde- pendent press, after the pattern of the HERALD, is & Well. established civil which sball be inde- pendent of politica, 80 d political nobodies shall be precluded from pul their fin- gers into the public purse and emptying it of its con- tents,” aud much more to the same effect, Our cor- respondent ct uite right. it will come a mia ae |.

J. M, McDougall noticed in the HeRaxp of June 16 an article on a “new plan to compel car conductors te behonest,”” He offers one which he thinks will work admiraply, It is as follows:—Let the proprie- tors of the cars pay their employés such wages a3 will make them value their situations. This, he in every other business is found to be the Chespest, Dest and most direct ‘method for keeping men hovest. J. M. McDougall ie unquestionavly right. His suggestion is certainly hot original, 1t nevertheless is good; but we fear the men who run the cars and pocket the earnings will not give heed to itor to any other suggestions which impiics we cultivation of honesty. “Dov is of the opinion that some things can be done as well as others, and offers the subjoined as his method for accommodating the ladies with seats 4m the street cars, He says:—“I would suggest, to settle the-vexed question, Shall a gentleman surien- der his seat to a lady? that every second car be to the ladies; or, let every second car be mar! ‘ladies’ car,’ and gentlemen be permitted to enter it on condition that ne oe their seats to ladies when uired.’? ‘Dot’? concludes by say- ing “he has no doubt ladies will patronize the car assigned them exclusively.” Wul they? Conductors of cars are not alone in the opinion that ladies prefer the society of gentlemen to those of their own sex. + Hangom Cabs. “A Lady” writes four pages of foolscap laudatory of the Hansom cab, and expresses her astonish- ment that they were “never introduced into this city before.” “Every stranger,” she continues, “from across the Atlantic has opened his eyes in astonish- ment when looking along the streets for lines of cabs, and has wondered how people fe along with- out them, ‘True, there are almost endless car routes, supplying the locomotive emergencies of our great population; but these for the most part only go in certain directions.” Our correspondent writes much more to like effect, and we doubt not when these cabs are tutroduced (some 1,500 or 2,000 are contempiated) they will be satisfactorily pa- tronized. About fifteen years ago cabs were tniroduced to the people of New York, bat they were looked upon with indiflereyce and were, we believe, finally withdrawo. Still, 1t may be that the second attempt to intro- duce these vehicles will prove more profitable than did the first. We can assure “A Lady” that cabs, ‘haps not of the Hansom pattern, are not “un- own” to the streets of this metropois. Turn Tables. “D.’ writes:—“The necessity for building turn tables at each end of the street car routes, as sug- gested in the HERALD of the 18th inst., can be obvi- ated by placing light iron gates on each platform of car and requiring the conductors to lock them on the platform to which the horses are to be attached on arriving at each end of the route. This plan will effectually prevent passengers from getting on or of the front platform, and thus avoid the numerous ac- cidents that occur.” This ee was adopted on some of the street cars about four years ago. The gates were closed on the platform on which the drivers stood for some montis; and wese were put aswie as useless, not answering the purpose for which they were introauced. VASSAR COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT. POUGHKEEPSIE, June 21, 1869. Every train and boat to-day has brought large numbers to this city to be present at the commence- ment exercises at Vassar College. Already the hotels of the place are nearly filled, and hackmen are doing a rushing business. The scenes at the college all day to-day have been of a very enliven- ing character. At eleven A, M. a ticket seller and baggage man arrived and located themselves in one of the large rooms, where, ever since, they have been overrun with the pupis of the college pur- chasing tickets for home and attending to the checking of their baggage. At noon nearly 250 had transacted this part of their leave-taking, and this afternoon over 100 more are in waiting, seated in rows, taking their turn. The majority will leave Wednesday afternoon and evening, though there wil be many who will remain over till Thursday or Friday. Tickets have been sold to all parts of the United States, North, South, East and West. The parents of some of the pupils will meet them here and mer resorts or to visit relatives far from their native homes. Branca, Ne the White Moun- taing, Lake nee, &c., wili soon be honored by the fairy footsteps of the hard studying Vassar students, where, arid the cooling breezes’and surrounded by friends, they will enjoy that relaxation from boo! toil so necessary to their health and happiness. For three days have the huge tackle and falls, loca- ted in the centre of the coliege, connecting wiin hall-way, lowered large and capacious trunks, gas jam full, to the lower floor, preparatory to ing sent to town for further transportation to steamboats and ratlroads. beeen A car tickets f° off like hot cakes, aud messages and packages wi out number, are from room to room and from hall to ball, add. greatly to the scene of general bustle and cont Merry voices are heard and mop smiles fit across the countenances of the students as 1 ts of home are dwelt upon. To-day nothing of note transpired until half-past three this afternoon, at which time an examination of the students of the riding school took place. This part of education at Vassar College ts under the di- rection or supervision of Leopold von Seldeneck, Master of Horsemanship. It 18 lis duty to teach the stuaents of his spectal and healthful de ent how to 6it m the saddle, to ride grace! 1, dec. The exercises in themselves are promotive of much heaithful enjoyment, impart to the cheeks a ruddy glow and at the same time strengthen and give sym- metry of motion to the form. There are seventy-tive scholars attached to the riding school, and if this af- ternoon’s exercises were a sample of each one’s ad- vancement in equine education, then indeed are all proficient in the art. At first four entered the arena and als on their skill in horsemanshij after which the number was doubled, the eight riders drawing out praise from the visitors present. The exercises closed by a young lady appearin alone upon, @ handsome aninal, whose feats o. vauiting and leaping were really fine. His fair bar- den seemed not in the least intimidated, but, on the contrary, sat a6 graceful upon her steed’s back when he leaped the barrier as when he remained motion- leas.

Liberty (Tegaa) daasile June ite CARD ETIQUETTE. eee The Present Mede~Novelties im Papeterio— Wedding Cards, Cenleur de Reose=The Mouogramania the Increase. Decidedly the Novel of the season’s novelties im staonery are the rose pink wedding cards, The idea is, of course, French; its origin as indu- bitably im sentimental compliment to the supposedly haleyon ‘days in whton all things, as well a8 people, in the glamored eyes of the bride and groom, are viewed through rose-colored spectacles. The shape of the cards remains thé same, the lettering and color alone being altered to meet the requirements of this last caprice of ultrafashion. Gold now re- places the quieter black script, or old English let- yering of old-time worded invitations, and @ rose-colored bit of ribbon connects the cards, in lieu of the dainty white satin bridal tie of immemortal sanction, A huge’ pink envelope— loudly monogramed, of course, either in gold or, at the option of the happy pair, in mingled letters of other tasteful design, completes this certainly oddest of wedding capricea and: stunning card novelty of the season. Annivesgary wedding cards are yearly growing into more general favor. Orders for golden, silver, crystal, tin, wooden, and, lastly, paper wedding cards now pour in from all parts of the country to our best city stationers, and the trouble is to fll them all in due season. ‘The first five ceremonies, viz.:—The golden, allver, crystal, tin and wooden, are familiar as household words. The sixth isan addition gotten up within the last year, itis said; now becoming very general and contended to have the best right of any to an existence in the list of ceremonies, and, in fact, the honor of even heading tt. .A bride 1s said to be entitled to it upon the commencement of her second year of marriage, when—a bride no longer—the young ma- tron enters upon her duties inher husband’s house as more sober wife and housekeeper, possibly, mother also. Upon this occasion it is now customary for friends to pfesent offerings of paper, such as books; portfolios, music, &c. At the expiration of four more years—five from her wedding day—the wooden wedding is announced, at which timo the five year old married couple are the amused and pleased recipients of whatever wooden articles, either useful, ornamental or absurd, their friends may choose to present to them of that material. ‘The tin wedding on the anniversary of the five years following is the next permissible wedding festival according to custom allowed the now thrice-wed- ded -pair, and upon this occasion the gifts are, of course, of tin, This ceremony 1s in turn succeeded: by the crystal wedding, still dve years later, and dating fifteen years‘from the wedding night, when the presents are, as before, of material complimented by the name of the special festival, and followed, after ten years of connubial rest and happiness, at the expiration of tem years more, by the silver wedding, this ceremony, of course, occuring upon the anniversary of twenty-five years of wedded life. ‘he golden wedding is announced after twenty- five years more, viz., on the arrival of tne fiftieth au- niversary. The presents offered upon both these occasions, are either gold or silver. as One would think by this time that a couple so very much married ought to be left in peace till the end of their lives; but still one final opportunity is afforded them of convincing the world of their con- nubial happiness. Few, indeed, however, live to give it, It 1s on the expiration of seventy-five yeara of wedded happiness, when the anniversary is pro- perly called the diamond wedding. A-well known engraver of this city has had, it is understood, one order for cards for even this extraordinary event. They are of highly burnished diamond pattern, frosted silver, lettered in intermixed gold and silver. Cards for golden weddings are always mono- gramed and printed in pure gold. Those for silver weddings in pure silver, Upon both are engraved the dates of the two marriages and the maiden name of the bride, Cards fer crystal weddings are small sheeta of actual glass, lettered either in black or gold; or more appropriately. in letters engraved on the crystal. These thin sheets of crystal, to avoid likell- hood of breakage, are either glued upon tinfoil, card- board or thin wood. Sometimes they are made of @ very thick, tough glass instead, not Mable to break Cards of invitation to tin wedd! are similar Plates of literal oxydized tin similarly lettered. Wooden wedding cards are card-like squares of veritable wood, thin and delicately veined, upon which the lettering is usually black.

Accidental Shooting—A Man’s Remains Found in an Advanced State of Decom- position. {From the Rock Island and Moline Union, June 17.} A horrible tragedy was brought to light last even- ing. A Davenport fisherman named Bielileldt went down to Dimick’s Isiand yesterday afteraoon, and near a fatboat lying by the distillery, which fina n used asa home by a Hanoverian named Peter Giese for some time, noticed a dog tied on the deck, how! piteously. Thinking sometiung must be wrong, and being well acquainted with Giese, he ard to ascertain what was the matter. A horrible smell greeted his olfactories as he approached the boat, and on entering the cabin he found the body of Giese reciining ‘kward, his arms clasping a gun to hts breast, the left side of his head shattered by a charge from one of the barrels, and worms covering the unsightly wounds. He hastened away, and landing at the dis- eilleay- walked op town tli he met Mars Mitsch, to whom he told the clroumstance. Marshal Mitsch, seep epee by Deputy Tomp- kins, forthwith proceeded to the barge, where they found the body as described. From the appearance of the joan, spd the surrounding objects, it was judged by the officers that Giese had entered the cabin to get his gun, which stood behind a smail stove. He had stooped forward and Srasped wt by the barrels, and one of the hammers caught the bottom of the stove. Giving it a twist unfortunate man had released the hammer, ony to receive the charge between his nose and left eye. Death must have been instantaneous. It is evident, from the advanced stage of decom- position in which the remains were found, that the accident must have ee three or four days ago— @ week, although the dog being still alive seems to render the last period improbable. The Marshal gave the poor brute some water and, a8 s00n as he could obtain it, a loat of bread, Mr. Bielfleldt, who was at one time in peepee | with the deceased, says his name is Peter Giese, ane an envelope, postmarked at Hamburg, and found in the flatboat, bears that name, while naturalization apers issued by the District of Davenport, in feet give his name as Heinrich Giese. He has lived in vicinity since 1861, inhabiting his flatboat nearly all the time. He hasa@ sister living in Mus- ‘THE PENNSYLVANIA COAL TRADE, {From the Phtladeiphia Ledger, June 21.) There has been a partial resumption of the anthra- cite coal traae pe met week, with @ reasonable as- surance that all the coal regions will be in full eee within & week or two, and that the suppi; be full to the end of the season. In the Scluyl kill region a majority of the operators have arranged with or men. a3 eg Ning same rate of wages that prevailed at the time suspension, opening on the basis of three dollars average price cata ferent sizes, except pe At this rate the prices would range ‘om about $260 for Chestnut up to $3 50 for stove, These are about the rates that prevailed for coal before the suspension. In the Lehigh and Shamokin regions there is a diMculty on the matter of “basis,” and also on the right claimed by the aggociation to control the hands at the collieries, These matters, it is believed, will be adjuse.’, as the settlement at each additional colliery lessens the diMculties of settlement with the men at those re- out. In the Wilkesbarre and Lackawanna regions the individual operators, and those compa- nies without ug privileges, have com- menced or are getting ready to go to work. The Reading Railroad reports a tonnage for tne week of 21, tons, against 69,169 in correspond- ing week Vast year. The entire tonnage of all the regions for the week was bat 102,460 tons, against 347,089 tons insame week last year, a de- crease of 244,629 tons. When the suspension com- menced the surplus of coal to the same time in 1863 was 712,732 tons. The entire production now is 5,013,974 tons, 357,594 tons less than to the same time last year, making an actual decrease of 1,070,326 tons. This may soou be made up If all the mines go {ato fall work. There has been some littie advance in prices, but not much, and they will, it is believed, io a fortnight settie down at figures at which there will be no risk in baying, as, under the ‘basis’ adoptea, prices cannot go lower without another stoppage, and the carrying companies will advance rates as usual as the season advances, _ TERRIFIC STORM IN ILLINOIS, Singular Effects of Lightning. [From the Ont Journal, June 19.) The peopie of Evanston, twelve miles north of Chicago, insist upon it that the thunder and rain storm of last night was more terrific, prolonged and ae than anywhere else, and from accounts we receive there we presume this Is a fact. Nearly every cellar was more or less flooded. An old geti- tleman, resident there, tells ns that never has he known or witnessed so terribie a thunder storm, ac- panied by £0 heavy a fall of water as that of last places, remene ia tite connec th that Mr. Hurd has two ek rods on his Fearon rannin chil ce, @ from the main chimneys over the roof (it being @ large sized Gothic house) into the at two places, and that the itning entered at @ point imme- wniet) the lightning fod passes. “It in°an Son an iron light rod, and was put dp avout fourteen years fact that the e fuid confined itself with which the cornice in the rooms was is also a fact wi of the notice of tennis o on sont Re , OF did It preven dog more damage?
