ALBANY, Feb. ~, 1913
To-day being the anniversary Of the birth OF the
Father of his Country, the Legislature were not in
session, the members having resolved upon holi-
day. Those OF them who do not belong to the
church, and were not otherwise engaged, attended
the grand ball Of the Burgesses Corps. This fete
bids fair TO be most brilliant one indeed. Among
the distinguished guests who expected to be pre-
sent,a ARE Elk President Van Buren,, Governor Bouck
and military family, Ex-Governor Seward, the Ad-
jutant General, and others. Oh, oh what bes-
sing each and every one Of them will get from Ell
der Swan, and the rest of the revival preachers
for it.
There was another great land slide at Troy this
afternoon, SURPRISING In extent the previous one,
though resulting in no loss of life The fact is, the
whole hill must eventually come down ere safety
can be warranted to those residing in the neghbor
hood Another portion was expectedto come down
momentarlly.
A number Of appointments for the counties of
Putnam. Erie, Munroe and Richmond, and that of
Aaron Vanderpool to be Judge of the Superior
Court, were made public to-day. Those for the
county OF Richmond as follows: Benaja b.
Phelps, Master in Chancery, Henry c. Hedey, do,
Thorne s. Kingsand, do, and Benajah B. Phelps, to
be Supreme Court Commissioner. 1t is said that Sc
vera more New York officers have been nominated,
though this is not certain.
Although great deal of time has been idly con-
sumed thus far in the Legislature, still am inclined
