SARATOGA SPRMGs.-J. H. Wnrland, Esq.,
editor Of the Lowell Courier, is at Saratoga
Springs. In recent letter to the Courier, he
relates the following circumstance:
Fifly-nine years ago. when this section Of the
town was barren spot, containing only here
and there n dwelling house, John Taylor Gil.
man, Gov. of New Hampshire, and at the time
II member Of Congress from that State, while
on hunting excursion in the summer, discover
ed the sparkling water gushing from the cleft
of rock in the vicinity. Upon trial, the rum
ming stream proved to possess medicinal quail
ties, and this was the original discovery Of the
far-famed mineral springs of Saratoga In a
few years after. the rock, though smitten, like
that of old in the wilderness, refused to give
out its refreshing draughts, and for a time the
spring was supposed to be irrecoverably lost.
But it still continued to dance and rush on un-
seen in its merry sparkling course, beneath the
earth, and one day resident Of the place dis
covered it bubbling and springing up in the ve-
ry centre of limpid brook. Immediately tur-
ming the water of the brook from its course, he
reached the lost fountain again. Almost from
that day TO this, it has continued to administer
its mineral draughts, impartng its healing infu-
ences to nvalds near and from afar. Thou

warmer lattudes, and revel in ideness and
pleasure, with little thought or care in regard
to what the fountain may contain. But yet it
is to the spring, accidentally discovered by a
citizen of New Hampshire, in 1892, that Sara
toga owes her present prosperous existence,
and her musical fame--a fame belonging TO her
which in the clustering association 1t awakens
in the mind of the devotce of fashion, is proba-
bly, more sacredly garnered up by him, than
even her revolutionary renown.

PRINTERS AND PRINTING.--J Il. Buckingham,
in his series of "reminiscences, in course of pub.
caton in the Boston Courier, speaks of the i'm
portance of the printer to authors, as follows:
"Many who condescend to illuminate the dark
world with the fire of their genius, through the
columns of newspaper, little think Of the lot
of poor printer, who, almost suffocated by the
smoke Of lamp, sits up till midnight to correct
his false grammar, bad photography, and worse
punctuation. have seen the arguments of law
yers, in high repue as scholars, sent to the prn-
ter in their own hand writing, many words--and
especially technical and foreign terms--abbrevi-
ated, words mis-speled and few or no points,
and those few, if there are any, entirely out of
place. have seen the sermons of divines sent
to the press without points or capitals to desig-
nate the division of sentences; sermons which
if published with the imperfections of manu-
script, would disgrace the printers devil if he
were the author Suppose they had been so
printed The printer would have been treated
with scorn and contempt as an iliterate block
head--as fellow better fitted to be awood-saw-
er than printer. Nobody would have believed
that such gross and palpable faults were owing
to the ignorance and carelessness of the author
And no one but the practical printer knows how
many hours the composition, and after him the
proof-reader, is compelled to spend in reducing
to readable condition manuscripts that the wri-
ter himself would be puzzled to read"

EHIo1rrDHED TO DEATH--ALMosT AS the
yesterday mornings steamboat train was slowly
crossing the common in Worcester, just in the
gray dawn of morning, the passengers were sud-
denly started into wakefulness by piercing shrek
from female attached to the Italian Opera Compa-
ny, on its journey to Boston. The woman declared
that she had seen man hanging on the Common,
and on arriving at the depot, few rods distant, it
was found that remarkably well executed effigy of
MIR. Charles Sumner, was suspended from the liberty
pole, at an elevation of some thirty feet from the
ground.
We find the above in the Boston Journal Of Mon
day, and to the credit Of our Wing friends we will
say, that disappointed as they may be, at the cleo
ton of Mr.. Sumner, we do not believe they would
descend to so mean device, in order to manifest
their disappointment to the public The effigy re-
ferred to, bore about as much resemblance to Mr..
Sumner, as editor of the Journal does. 1t was
doubtless the work of some mschieGloving boy
and was hung there for the very purpose of start
ling into wakeiulness' the passengers of the New
York train, and nothing more

artistic skill displayed by Messrs. Morse s. Law
renee who have in charge the ornamental painting
of the establishment, is in the highest degree credi-

general effect of all the preliminary stages of the
work before it comes into their hands. Six splendid
long passenger cars, intended for the Rochester and
Syracuse railroad, upon which they are now bestow-
ing the finishing touches, are models of neatness and
elegance.
There is one other branch Of the manufacture
which we have not before mentioned which is the
upholstery work, and which affords fine opportuni-
ty for the display of taste and skill. This is under
the charge of Mr.. Warren Fuller. About three hun
dred pounds of cured hair are required to line and

The business of car building was never more -four
shing in Worcester than at the present time. Mr.
Bradley has now under contract, some sixteen or
eighteen passenger cars, the average cost of each of
which will be some three thousand dollars; and any
quantity of freight cars besides; and while he has
such facilities for turning off the best of work with
despatch, we think we may safely calculate that
Worcester wilobtan fair share of all the car build
ing there is to do.

counsel employed by the slave-hunters in the Boston
cases, that Mr.. Commissioner Curtis declined re-
ceiving his legal fees in the cases tried before him.
Curtis enacted the part of blood hound, for the
sake Of the ten dollars which the law allows him,
but it now appears that he did not have this mean
excuse, but acted the part he did from the innate
