YbuNG Tragedy at Quebec. QUEBEC ' March 3•—An officer of the Fifty-third Regiment was shot while skating here to-night.- Just at dusk, when a number of our lady "and gentle men citizens were enjoying themselves in the art of skating in the fashionable skat ing rink on Lewis street, a most horrible tragedy was committed in their presence -that of the shooting of one of Her Maj esty'a officers of the Fifty-third Regiment, named Whittaker, by . the son of a very respectable and highly esteemed citizen, Mr. H. J. Chaloner. Whittaker, in company with Dr. Hed- ' ley, of the same regiment, left the dress ing room, with their skates on, to skate on • the rink. The distance is about three yards. As soon as Whittaker, who first reached the edge of the rink, was met 'by Chaloner, a young man, the latter drew a revolver from his pocket in a cool and , determined manner and shot Whittaker twice in the head. The first ball went clear past the bridge of hip nose, but the second entered his skull, causing Whitta ker to give way under his feet and fall down. , All was the work of an instant. The ladies and gentlemen screamed amid the horrible scene. , , • Whittaker was taken into the adjoining room, and Dr. Marsden called in, who poronounced the wound mortal. No hope is entertained of his recovery. Judge Doucet has tried to take his declaration, but he is unconscious. Chaloner has given himself up to the authorities. ' . Whittaker is accused of having seduced the daughter of a highly respectable citi zen, which has, we believe, been the cause of thisraseality. He is also accused of having brought trouble, atiliction'and sorrow to the door of another respectable family in London, Ontario, by the same means. The afflicted father in this case came to Quebec but a few weeks ago, to 'release his daughter from a life of infamy. Whittaker was to have been arrested by the police authorities to-day for his scan ' dalous conduct; but through some •delay the warrant was held over by order of the Court till tomorrow. It is notedeciared afact that the • priso ,ner's sister made a deposition before the Judge of Sessions, the day previous to the ;occurrence, charging Whittaker with hal , - ing taken improper liberties. with her per son while she was in a state of partial in sensibility from chloroform, administered by Whittaker on a pocket-handkerchief. In August last, it Is rumored that' Whit taker promised marriage; and made an appointment with the young lady to meet at a clergyman's house. The marriage did not take place thenewing to the ab sence of. Father Presence. 'Whittaker told his brother officers that he Intended. t o marry the girl; but they advised him not to do so. The whole regiment is de flounced here for their immorality. The citizens generally- are indignant against the Fifty : third, and hope that.orders :will soon.arrlve ordering their departure. from Quebec. - Chaloner is a lad of about seventeen ears 'of age, not more than four feet sin inches in height, and has always been considered a manly and independent little fellow. PITTSBITRGEI Cr*ZEITE: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 1869: THE MACH NODES. BPIUNa FASHIONS. With the advent} of March the ever-re curring question 'arises, What is to be 1 worn ?;, What will be the spring fashions? Have hoops, gone out entirely ? mill short . dresses be worn on the street ?! Are bonnets to be enlarged ? and from a thousand different voices from all ilarts of the country comes the inquirt, How. can wc, dress fashionably but not expen sively ? Commencing at the beginning `we beg to assuie our readers tiled. as usual, pretty, nifich everything will be worn; that spring fashions are under the snow as yet, in t4is latitude, but that we shall endeavor to exhume them. that hoops (very swan) will. be more likely to come in than to go out with warm weath er; that short dresses are permanent; that small bonnets will be worn at least an other season; and that there nevef was a time - when - fashion was more sensible or economical than now, provided people are willing to be sensible and economical. Snits and costumes are the leading fea tures of the new spring, styles, and are; many of them, pretty in design as well as handsome in material. Of all that we have seen in preparation, the prettiest and most 'serviceable are made in change able or fine then silk. trimmed with rich fringe orwith ruffles, or a double-ruch ing of the, same. The skirts of most of them are of moderate walking_ length, the upper skirt is retained and the Cos tume completed by a tight-fitting basque, or by one of the many pretty and stylish varieties of, capes which will be worn largely as the spring advances. When the basque is retained it is generally ruf fled, or. trimmed J . with fringe to simulate a square or Pointed pelerine; sometimes a pointed cape is attached open upon the back as well as upon the front, and edged all around with. drop trimming or fringe. Paniers proper are but little worn, but the large sash bows and ends are as im portant ae ever, and the frasque, or.upper skirt is very often arranged in a pouf at the back, which adds to the prominence give]; fo the fullness of, the skirt and the smalrbustle now almost universally worn with . or attached to the hoops. And en pnalant it may be remarked that the ar rangement of the skirts, long and short, remains the same; the fullness is gathered at the back, the sides laid in large pleats, the front left entirely plain unless upper skirts form a tunic divided into puffings in front as well as at the back. There is a• tendency,! to get rid entirely of the front'of the upper skirt, and drape it with trimming from the sides, dispos ing it full at the back, but at present, it is more a question of taste than a fashion. Walking skirts are nearly all of them trimmed with ruffles or with ruffles headed with one or more puffings; the single nar rowllounce (about six inches) is the most popular in the thicker - woolen materials worn in early spring, but as the warm weather advances, and thinner fabrics are required, the size and number will prob. ably be limited only by - taste and means. SLEEVES AND TIDNOS In sleeves there is a great variety, the styles being adapted by, modistes of taste and judgement to the materials and re fiuirement • •of the dress. The sleeves shaped to the arm, but mere closely f to the cut to the wrist, is still employed ,for walking dresses. For the house they are sometimes made with a single puff at the topor.lightly puffed all the way down from the top to bottom. They are also worn half long, and pinched with "lace or ruffles below the elbow. This is a good style- for the warm latitudes, the upper part being straight, puffed or filled in lengthwise, according to taste. Bodies cut or - opened to a point in front, and worn sullicientfy off from the throat to display a black velvet and pendant locket, will be very fashionable the ,coming sea-, son, and we recommend it as a good style for house and summer morning dresses. Single capes, worn with suits, are looped high upon.the shoulders instead of at the back, as last season. Round bows with ends are more fashiofiable than rosettes. Square bodies and trimmed bodies seem as if they, /had obtained a perpetual lease, and the reason undoubtedly because they are becoming to our fiat-chested, small.armed women. More out-door ex ercise, more - good broiled (not fried) beefsteak, less pastry, and hread-knead ing instead of harp and guitar twanging, would soon remedy these' physical diffi culties in the otherwise handsomest race of womenln the world. - Elegant dinner dresses of rich silk. or satin, are still cut out square, but they are not unfrequently cut out both front and back, forming a complete .ponapadaur, and the effect; when filled in with rich lace, is very dis lingue. The square may be trimmed with lace, ruffles, or fringe, according .to 'the material of the dress, but. if of satin or very rich silk, the trimming should be point or point applique lace. 31.0R1CIfi6. DRESSES Pique morning dresses will be very generally made with a basque or with a small pointed pelerine cape. Drop trim ming headed with braiding or embroidery is most in vogue for these. We beg to suggest, however, that colored braiding or colored embroidery is a great mistake uponmaite pique. White is • less strik ing, but it Is better taste, washes more perfectly. and if it is neatly done .ldoks well and lasts as long us, the fabrics; and that is saying a good deal, for there is no wear out to pique; The distinction bbtween hats and bon nets will be very small this season; the one is nearly merged in the other. The size is not in the least enlarged, but the brim is universally thrown up,. especially ftom the left side; where an aigrette,;or rose with leaves, constitutes the appear ance of height and ap air of dis ,tinction. Narrow strings are absolutely required to tie their little hats under the chignon, and others are now used upon all imported bonnets to tie under the chin. arms AND 'COMPLEXION. More hair is worn than ever. The bon nets therefore cannot be enlarged. The chlgrion is not only composed of large puffs, but'a Proihsion of curls Spring out from the centre and fall at the back of it, not below it.. It is also worn very high upon the head and crowned by a massive braid which forces the crimping and curli down upon the forehead, or leaves them only the smallest amount of space on which to display themselves.
