CITY BULLETII
The Ghat Reserves—Presentation to
Ladies. —The IstTßegiment of Grey Reserves
have recently presented to Sirs. Ellen S.
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.

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
&. Brother, No. 728 Chestnut street,on Monday
nest. We have Been a proof of the likeness
of Gen. Grant (which was taken on the 23d
inst.) and can vonch for its correctness.
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.

CONFEDERATE STATES COURT.
[From the Dispatch of the 17th.]
The spring term of Judge Halybur ton’s
Court Commenced yesterday, but it being the
first day of the session very little business of
importance was transacted. The trial of Mrs.
Patterson Allan, sent on for trial by the Com
missioner on the charge of treasonable corres
pondence with the enemy, which was set for
yesterday, was postponed till the 29th inst..
“MISCEGENATION” IN RICHMOND.
[From the Whig of the 13th inst.]
Anne Edward, alias Finn, and Ellen and
Margaret Brown, three able-bodied, almost
white mulattoes, were yesterday arrested by
officer Ferrin—the first charged with violently
abusing one James Smith, the two latterfor
beingfrom Culpeper county and having no free
papers. These women were arrested by our
troops in Culpeper shortly after’ the battle of
Cedar Mountain, and sent to Richmond oi
some charge affecting their loyalty. For. a con
siderable length of time they were kept ill
Castle Thunder, and then turned out in the
city. They took up their abode in an old.rattle
trap of a house in Exchange alley, where they
have been leading loose and very disreputable
lives. .
"When arrested yesterday, they represented
themselves as the special proteges of Hie
Government, at least of some.of the. Govern
ment officers here. ' They say theyhave beak
drawing regular rations, and sugar,’ coffee and
molasses from the Government. If this is a
fact, it is a disgraceful one. Three idle mu
lattoes, supported in vice and idleness by the
Government, whilst thousands of our best
citizens, who have been driven from their
homes by the enemy, want bread for themselves
and their children !
LOBS AND GAIN BY THE WAR. }:
[From the Whig of the 18th Instant.]
A comparison of the census of 1860 and 1863
shows, that of the number of slaves in the entire
State in 1860, only 3,803 have been lost .since
then above natural propagation and other
causes, ’
Of horses, in that portion of the State
under onr control, we have lost 25,201.
In 1860, the number of cattle returned for
taxation in the entire State was 1,021,132, or
ninety-seven for every one hundred white per
sons: In 1863, the number of cattle within the
territory, free lromthe occupation and iacaf
sion of the public enemy, was 607,152, to which
add 8 per cent., the usual difference between
the actual and taxable numbers, and : we have
647,724 cattle within our control in the last
mentioned-year, which is one hundred and five
head of cattle to every one hundred white in
habitants.
The returns. show an increash" of 72,338
sheep, and a loss of 166,970 hogs in the coun
