Henderson, of Harrisburg, a ependid service of silver, consisting of siS pieces, manufactured to order at a cost of five hundred dollars. On each piece is the elegantly engraved inscription: “Presented to Mrs. Ellen S.Henderson by the Ist Grey Reserves.” At the .-ame time Miss Sarah Miller, a sister of Mrs. H., was presented with a set of elegant jewelry, valued at twenty-live dollars. The committee having charge of the presentation consisted of Lieutenant-Colonel Starr, Lieutenant. John H. Pratt, Lieutenant Ray and private Howell. The testimonials were a total surprise to the ladies, from whom , the Reserves received the most assiduous atten tion while in Harrisburg during the last raid of the -rebels into this State. Mrs. Henderson re ceived into her house invalid.members of the regiment and performed-the part of ministering angel round their sick couches. She not only cooked the men’s rations, but kept up a bounti fully supplied table at her own expense for their accommodation, and appropriated her best chambers to the use of the officers. To Miss Miller, the Greys were also indebted for many kindness. _ The Close of Lest. —To-day is known as “Easter E’en” and is observed in commemora tion of Christ’s descent into Hell or Hades, the place of departed spirits. In the Catholic churches this morning the altars were dressed but the candles were not lighted until the be ■. ginning of masß. The triple candle and the . paschal candles were blessed, and the baptis mal font was' consecrated, the holy water being distributed to the faithful. To-morrow will be Easter, or the anniversary of the resurrection, and the churches, haTing thrown off their sable habilaments, will be de corated with evergreens, emblematic of the un dying love of the Saviour and the joy - felt- by the disciples that He had arisen from the dead. In the afternoon the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul will be opened for vesper services. The occasion will be one of considerable inte rest. Right Rev; Bishops Bayley, of Newark, Duggan, of Chicago, and others, will partici pate in the service, wiUithe RightEev. Bishop . Wood and the Catholic clergy generally of this city. Changes in thx Gao Wonxs.—At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Philadelphia Gas Works, held last evening, Wm. H. Dor -borrow was elected First Assistant Engineer, in place of Dr. Charles M. Cresson, and Isaac S. Cass in Secoid Assistant, vice George L. Gay. Mr. Durborrow was formerly First As sistant Engigeer in charge of the Point Breeze Gas Works, and Mr., Cassin is the late Chief Engineer of the Water Department. Mr. John C. Cresson, who has been the Chief Engineer of the Gas Works for a considerable period, tendered his resignation, and it was accepted. The Tacancy will be filled at another meeting of the Trustees, to be held on Monday after noon next, and other changes will probably be made. Bobbery ay the Hall or the American Protestant Association. —Yesterday morn ing it was discovered that the fire-proof in the Hall of the American Protestant Association, on Locust Btreet above Broad, had been en tered and ransacked. As nothing was taken' but some books containing the “work” of the order, these articles seem to have been the ob ject of the intruders. We are not aware to what extent the secrets of the organization will be betrayed through the means of the stolen books. An Eloquent Oration We learn that the Rt. Rev. Dr. Bayley, Roman Catholic Bishop of Newark, N. J., will deliver an oration on the “Life and Labors of the late Archbishop Hughes,” at the Academy of Music, on Monday evening next. The noble subject the Rt. Rev. lecturer has chosen,together with his high repu tation, will no doubt secure a crowded house on the evening mentioned, and will, we think, furnish material' assistance to the poor of this city, for whose benefit the lecture is given. A Ministerial Call. —The First Baptist Church, Broad and Arch street, has given the Rev. Mr. Boardman, of Rochester, New York, a call to take charge of the church. He will preach at the church to-morrow morning and evening. It is not known whether the reverend gentlemen will accept the call; but if he does, he will be a great acquisition to the ministry in this city. - ' Deaths in the Army Hospitals. —The fol lowing deaths were reported yesterday: Sum mit House —W. H. Cannon, Company B, 25th Regiment United States Celored Troops; Chas. Harrad, Company B, 82d United States Colored Troops. Turner’a Lane —Darius Madison, 112th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers. Sixteenth and Filbert Streets —Philip Seigle, Company E, 60th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers. Alleged Hotel Thieves.— John Perry and Edward Taylor were arrested last evening upon the charge of the larceny of an overcoat from the billiard room at the Continental Hotel. It is alleged that they attempted to pawn the coat at Fifteenth and Market streets. The accused were held for a further hearing by Alderman Devlin. : Troops Passing Through.— The Ist Rhode Island Cavalry -Regiment, Major P. M. Far rington commanding, passed through the city yesterday afternoon, on its way home. This regiment has been attached to the Army of the Potomac since it entered the service, and has now re-enlisted for the war. A Violent Storm. —A violent storm of wind and rain set in last night and continued during this morning. A perfect gale prevailed from the northeast, and rendered locomotion any thing but agreeable. The weather must have been very severe upon the coast. Mr. Murdoch’s Reading To-night. —This evening Mr. J. E. Murdoch will give an admi rable selection of patriotic readings, at the Academy ofMnsic, in behalf ot the Bounty Fund of the First Ward. The eloquence of Mr. Murdoch, no less than the patriotio cha. OUR (WHOLE COUNTRY. WANTS. racier of the object, should fill the Academy witn an immense audience.' A Polick Officer Shot by a Burglar— Pbobable Homicide— This morning, about ImU-paet twelve o'clock/officer John Jeffrey, of the Sixth Ward Police, was shot at the corner of Front and Race streets. It appears that officer Hutchinson observed a man come out of Craven street into Front. As the man acted rather suspiciously, Hutchinson accosted him, and receiving an unsatisfactory answer, took him in charge. The officer proceeded down Front street, and when he reached Race street he met officer Jeffrey, to whom he handed his prisoner. Hutchinson then went bac k to ascertain if any place bad been robbed. W hen he reached Craven street, he heard the report oi a pistol from the direction of Race street, and immediately returned that way. He fonnd officer Jeffrey lying upon the- sidewalk and his prisoner -running down Race street The latter was pursued up Delaware avenue to Vine street, and then he turned into Water street, where he was lost sight of in the dark ness. When the fugitive had got near to \ ine street he threw off his overcoat and the garment was recovered. In the pockets were tound a number of burglarious implements, some gunpowder and a slow match. Officer Jeffrey was dangerously wounded. Four balls entered his body—three in the back and one in the shoulder. He states that his prisoner attempted. to escape and a struggle ensued. He had his. man by the collar when the pistol was fired. It was not until after the third shot that he released his hold. The weapon was held so close to the officer that the coat of the latter was singed by the burn ing powder. Mr. Jeffrey was taken to the Sixth Ward Station House and was subse quently removed to his residence, No. 1510 N orth Seventh street, in the ambulance of the Assistance Fire Company. It is thought that -he cannot recover. He has been on the police but a short time, having been appointed on the 9th of January last. It was ascertained that the bakery at the corner of Front and Craven streets had been A hole had been bored in the fire proof safe within two inches of the kevhole, and preparations had been made to blow the sale open. The burglar was probably disturbed by the approach of officer Hntchinson, as he did not succeed in robbing the place. Enlistments During the Week. —The warrants issued by the Mayor to pay bounties to volunteers, under the ordinance of February last, amounted to $229,250 during the week ending to-day. This would indicate that 917 men had been mustered into service and credi ted to the city within the period mentioned. This is a slight decrease from the previous, week. The total number of men who have been paid the city bounty thus far, is 13,280. Gen. Grant and Col. Dahlgren The card photographic portraits of Lieutenant- General Grant and the late lamented Colonel TJlrio Dahlgren, will be published by McAllister &.

Disorderly House Case.— Louisa Hodgers was before. Alderman Patchel, this morning, charged with keeping a disorderly house, on Sansom street, above Broad. She was held in $BOO bail to answer. Three young women who were found in the house were held to keep the peace. Fire k the Twenty-Second Ward.— The dwelling house of Mr. J. Dickson, on Green Lanb, Cressonville, in the Twenty-second Ward, was destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. The loss is estimated at $5,000. The flames originated from sparks from the chimney.
