Church in upper Kingston went 011 their annual excursion to the grove near Marlborough on Tuesday, leaving this city about 8.30 A. M. on the barge Enterprise in tow of the steamer Norwich.

Notwithstanding (lie threatening appearance of the clouds, which gave promise of a rainy day, there were many adults, mostly ladies, and children who accompanied the excursion. The crisp and other starched fabrics, composing the female habiliments seem just the thing for a rainy day, but they evidently covered light band furnished the music. rieatuut Time at On Saturday evening Cornell Winne guv his houseful of summer boarders another one of those pleasant dancing parties for v. hie mine host of the very delightful hostelry at Boiceville is so celebrated.

As many of our residents visit Delaware county during their summer vacations and a great number are unaware of the board in facilities in that section, it will lie 01 interest to them to mention the best establishments of that kind, and we cheerfully commend to then, J.

No disturb ance of any kind is ever seen or heard, perfect neatness prevails and each room is well furnished and most of them provided with water from a line spring near. At Stamford, Mr. S. E.

Dogniaticul. Somewhere near the southerly bounds of the town of Sliandaken resides a nmn famed as a wood-cutter, and also for his yarns.

Tins mountaineer lias a dog -a dog not noted for the number of his tricks, but one that embodies all the skill, learning and genius of dogs in the performance of one duty. This woodman is a very forgetful man, gnd when he goes to the woods ahrfost invariably forgets his axe. Then lie says to the dog: dorgy, here The dog comes, and by the wag of his tail and a knowing look shows he fully understands what is expected of him. Then the owner says slowly and distinctly, Doigj, I huie forgotten that gol-durucd axe again, so you 11111s. go and gel The noble animal turns about, swiftly trots toward the house, and soon after returns with the Axe in hid mouth.

One day the dog was sent after the axe, but did not return at the usual time, llour after hour passed aud yet be came not. The owner began to lie alarmed, and was about to start 011 after the axe himself, when the dog appeared walking toward him, tired and lame, and wet with perspiration. lie had the axe, however, though the buudle was badly chewed, and laid it at his feet with a low whine as if in pain. The man examined the mouth and found nearly all of his teeth were gone, und the few that remained were actually worn to the gums. Then the woodman started for the house swearing lie would take sudden and terrible vengeance on the man who had injured his Upon going to the place where lie had left the axe 111 the morning he found a terrible fracas had been going on.

Pieces of wood lay sectored around; the dirt was dug up in a uuinber of places several feet in depth, while the teeth and toe nails lay all over the place. The man saw at a glance the cause of the trouble. A few minutes before leaving home that morning he had been chopping: wood, and carelessly striking his axe ill a large log near by left it, buried to the helve in the tough wood. The dog found the axo in this position, and first tried to loosen it by working at the handle, hut finding that to be impossible, commenced -to chew up the end of the log. Ho actually had to chew up nearly one-half the butt of a large, solid oak log before the axe became loosened so lie could pull it out.

When the owner saw the misery lie had caused by bi3 carelessness lie sat down and wept. President Grant, in accordance with the 1 rangement as previously announced in he Fotstax, arrived at Rhinecliff by the steam er 0. Vibbard, on Tuesday at 1.55 P.

Tlie President engaged in conversation with some of the gentlemen present, nd after refreshments were passed the party started for the station, Mrs.

Sharpe taking a seat in the carriage with the President and Mr. Brigham. Upon reaching the car the President was welcomed by Mr. W. B.

Litchfield, Manager of the N. K. 8. It. R.

The President remained upon the platform a few minutes bowing and exchanging greetings with the crowd, which was a considerable one. The special then moved from the station drawn by the locomotive John Brodbcad, which was gayly dressed in colors. The oldest engineer 011 the road, Mr. Edward Bartlett, had charge of the engine, with Martin Ford for fireman. The no sooner began to pirfr tliafi the President lit the and followed suit, and the fragrant Havanas were soon, like the last rumor, in mouth.

The party were soon in their carriages en route for Overlook Mountain, but just as tlie party were about to leave a veteran soldier momber of the Band An cred Retreat. On one of tlie steamboat docks in tills city there are a numlxr of barrels of pitch, which have for a few days past not only furnished a large army hoodlums witfk chewing gum, tudic- stepped up with a military and stretched out ins hand, which was wnVmly gasped by tlie President. AT THE OVERI.OOK. Alter President and parly took carriages at est Hurley they rode to Woodstock in a vu He drizzle of rain, and on their arrival in that usually quiet country settlement they fourni concourse of people numbering about 1,000 assembled on the porch 0 Van Hotel. A large number of ladies were 011 the upper balcony, who gave a pleasant feature to the occasion by being dressedjn their bravi and their best, hile the bone und wore about the fort or pencil, through 'which PitM- dent Grant passed to the parlor of hotel, where in an informal manner ho received all who presented themselves.

About 4:30 the party left Woodstock, and after climbing the mountain between there ami Mead's with slow and measured trcan, that hostelry was reached at 5:43. There the President and his companions alighted, and partook of a very sour lemonade literally, while Longyear and Kelder sponged the mouths of their teams. Leaving Mead's at 5:15 the party climbed tho part of the time in a drizzling rain, and partly in a fog, but just before they reached the haven where they would be, the rain closed, the fog lifted and disclosed THE OVERI.OOK 1IOTEE, with its inmales on the southern balcony, who as soon as the cavalcade appeared in view sent up hearty cheers. The President's carriage was in the van, und driving up to tlie front entrance he was met 011 alighting by the cheers and presence of all the beautiful women and brave meu the hojHOjpuJd turn out. The main 'cnlhuiCe to the hotel was beautifully twined with laurel- and evergreen, which stuTotimled the word HELtOrtlE." Alter aligiiling from his carriage the President was met by Mr.

Lasher, who welcomed him to the Overlook, and conducted him to his sumptuous quarters ou the first floor front. After removing the stain of travel the President mingled with tlie other guests of the house until dinner was announced at 7.30. Tlie President and party dined in the public dining room at tables beautifully trimmed with flowers and evergreens, natural to the Overlook. Too praise cannot tie given to the lady guests of tho house, who have had the decorations in charge, and have displayed the most exquisite skill in arranging them. AFTER DINNER.

After dinner dancing was inaugurated in the parlor, which is a magnificent room, aud the President, though lie did not dance, was tlie flower of (lie assemblage, and Mrs. George Ripley of New York and Mr. A tom us Sabler of Kingston had the Hero of Appomattox in charge, and though there were many hearts dismayed at the charge they made, none had blundered, for under the guidance of Mrs. Sahler, Grant made the most killing charge of Iris career.

T. Wagner, tiie musical director oi the House, gave the President Yankee Doodle with his variations, at which the President clapped his hands and IIA DE A SPEECH There are lots of Kiug- tonians here, and they are having a good time. Sahler, Fred. Westbrook, Charley Cooper, J. E.

A SERENADE. Now the servants of the house, who are our colored men and brothers, and most of whom wore tlie dusty frocks of blue during our late unpleasantness, are on the back verandah serenading His Excellency by singing old army they sing them very well, too, as the President thinks. If the house can stand the shock of tlie chorus or Glory Glory, Hallelujah which is now ascending, 110 gales that ever will sweep across this lofty mountain summit can unroof it. The President will sleep to-night breathing the most bracing air 011 the continent, and return to Kingston Wednesday afternoon. In the evening a reception will be given at Gen.

Ttyo citizen had seated himself upon the head of a barrel which had become covered with a sticky substance by the contents of the barrel exuding, and as the day was warm, the heat of his body, acting upon tlie pitch, caused the portion of his pantaloons Upon which he set to stick to that barrel-head as tlfiht as 0(jr victim had on no ooat or vest, only pantaloons, shirt and hat; the latter article much tattered as to the brim, and the crown absent.

FOR WIRE SCREENS FOR WINDOWS. I he IliiRlc und (lie Walter Hrctt Have a Five rtlile Rrctt Beaten. you get to Newburgh ahead of the Mary Powell to-night?" was a question put lo the captain of the steamboat Eagle after she left Marlborough on her down trip yesterday afternoon, and the steamer was over half an hour behind. I know, III see when we land at New replied the good natural captain. As the steamer neared the latter place the captain stepped up to the nml nmptrked that tv party of excursionists were on board from Poughkeepsie and they were anxious lo get to Newburgh ahead of the Powell.

The engineer, Mr. It. P. Cook, looked nt the New Hamburgh dock and observed the steamer Walter Brett, of the New York and New Hamburgh line, getting ready to leave. tlie parly to stay on board, gel said the engineer.

Tho land at Now ilamlniigli wtw quickly made and in a moment the Eagle and Walter Brett were bound south, nearly side by side, the Brett a little in tlie advance. The Brett has a forty-two inch cylinder, and the is thirty-two. It was evident that the folks were in for a race, and that she had a full head of steam ou, for tlie blue smoke curled up along her smoke stack, showing that her blower was working rapidly. The engineer of the Eagle gave hurried orders to his fireman, und the. latter jumped into the fire room, shook up his tires, puttiug 011 fresh coal, and then the race begun.

Tiie Brett was making twenty-one turns a minute, and tiie Eagle twenty-two. For two miles they ran side by side. The engineer of the Eagle stood by his lever aud urged the movement of the valves as vigorously as imssible. Three miles were passed and still they were side by side, till at last the Eagle commenced to make twenty-four turns a minute and then inch by inch the Brett fell to the rear, till a mile south of Low Point was reached, ami then she was all of two lengths behind, and the contest was over. This is the second race these boats have had this summer, and the socond victory for the Eagle.

IL is needless to say that the excursionists on board of her reached Newburgh in ample time for the Mary Powell, having about twenty minutes to sparv Eagle. Court. I his court was cuiivcncd Monday afternoon by a trial for tho ostensible of ascer tabling whether or not a certain boating gen tlemaii was guilty of petit larceny, but for tiie real purpose of finding out who was the owner of a jailer it seems Bryab Kavenagh was once tiie happy owner of a dog of the most approved pattern. Some two mouths ago this dog disappeared in a most mysterious maimer. Last Saturday a dog was seen on a canal boat, in the possession of one Giftighfln; which answered exactly to the description of the lost Kavenagh immediately went for that animal, but in the way impediment in the shape of Gong- lian, who not only refused to give up the canine.

but decidedly declared himself Uie owner oi the same. Then Kavenagh went to the Recorder and took out a warrant for (he arrest of Gaiigbun for peril larceny. aUtutiOofi the parries iu court; that is the complainant was there; the lefendtfnt was there, and the yellow dog aiso. Kavenagh testified positively the dog was his dog; that he Identified the animal because he had four white feet, a white face, and a white spat on the end of bis tail. IIo further said His dog went by the name of Biil, but tht animal in court seem to recognize that name.

This witness wa? backed up in bis testimony by several other parties. Then the defendant came 011 the stand backed by a number of witnesses, claiming he bad owned the dog ever since it saw the light of tlie Sun, and furthermore that it been out of bis since. Here was a conflict of testimony with a vengeance. The Recorder however was equal to tlie occasion, for as there Had been no intent to steal there could have been no crime committed, so the prisoner was discharged. The complainant shook hands with him good naturally, admitting there must have been some mistake, but tiie dogs did compare exactly, and tlien Ganghun re- I turned to his boat, while the followed close in his footsteps.

A Romance in Life and a Law Suit that Had Hopeful He inn but a Four finding. Near the village of Rosendalc lives a sturdy, honest laboring man, by name William Henry C. Ripple. Several years ago he took unto himself a wire, and the two lived together quietly, peaceably, and to all appearances were Happily mated. It was one day in tho month of Juno that ltipplc came home from work, ahd fonnd his lronsfi deserted.

Deserted Aye, tlie wife for whom lie had cared so well; for whom lie liad labored; the woman lie liad clothed, fed and cherished, cast to the winds the solemn vows cf matrimony, and left with another, aud maybe handsomer man. Worse than that, she carried with her the household goods of tlie husband, and sold them to the neighbors. Ripple being a practical man, and 110 doubt withal a sort of philosopher, surveyed tlie scene coolly and calmly. Not even a ripple of auger passed over soul; liko a stoic he said, Blandina, go! Peace be in yonr footsteps-but I must and will hive my After this exhortation lie started for Gallaber, and 3tating his case to that celebrated man of the law, a search warrant was placed in the hands of Cohslable Snyder to find the missing articles. They proceeded to the house or Mrs.

Surah Van Xes3, who had made the largest purchases, and after some parley were allow tuion Avc; and Division Street To the on ayor and ommon ouncil the report of your proceedings at your last meeting, July 25th, we notice among other bills presented, one of $420, from C. D. Westbrook, for a survey and map of Union av- enne and Division street. To the taxpayers this looks like an extravagant biil. Four hundred and twenty dollars to survey what is in reality one street! If this same surveyor should emplbyed to map and survey the whole city at this rate, twenty-five thousand dollars would not Sufilce.

Oa the supposition that this iffofessional gentleman charges five dollars per day, (the amount charged by some the other surveyors) we should have eiFhty- frmr days of work, or all the working days in fiiree months. If tlie charge were ten dollars day, then we have forty-two work 'iwoe for tnis ono map of one street. It may be very pleasant aud even amusing for the said Westbrook to receive this snug little suui of $420 for his map, and he would probably like lo make more of the same sort we, the tax payers, decidedly protest ag.iinot the payment of such bills. Such a bill pxwsesscs too much of the flavor of the Schootimaker and Cooper bill for services, and possibly is somehow related to it. Tho people upper Kingston have not quite tor- gotten bill for surveying and mapping Washington avenue by the same gentleman, which, if out memory serves us, was over one thousand dollars.

We believe the people of this city are to pay all taxes made necessary by the needs of our city; but are unwilling to pay a by such bill as that presented by C. D. Westbr. for surveying and mapping Union avenmPJmd Division street. ax ayer WEATHER STRIPS FOR WINDOWS.
