west, the quiet little village of Water

l lOTu
The plan Of Lonsingburgh is that Of
squares, the streets all crossing each other
at right angles, and all straight as line
can be drawn; and hence is conceded to
be the prettiest village in these parts.
Most of the streets are thickly set with
shade-trees, so that in Summer it has the
appearance Of a village in grove. Fruit
trees are abundant in the gardens From
these various attractions it has received
Z the name of 1.-The Garden r-
1t cannot boast of very great deal of
elegance in its buildings though it has
many very substantial and comfortable
houses. and is destined to be still further
improved by becoming the uptown or
fashionable residences of well-to-do Troy
ans.
Lansingburgh has six churches, but
can hardly be called church going peo-
pie, for like most places in this christian(?)
land, not more than one in six attend
church. while six to one attend to visiting
and. the saloon on the Lords day
We have three schools, known as the
Female Seminary, Academy and Public
School, besides an unknown quantity of
private schools. This is the New York
system. and is attended with not onehalf
the efficiency it would be if Arranged on
the graded system. Massachusetts, Mich
igan and Ohio are ahead of all the other
states in educational matters.
Two papers are published heie: the
Gazette, and Chronicle; the frstis week
ly. and the other semi,weekly ard lately
started. Two banks keep mony matters
in operation. ..
Since the fire, two years ago in Troy,
the Orphan Asylum has been located here :.
(the asylum aoas not burnt By Coz. Sty-
mour, and his friends" Moeyh) but the
children have lately been removed to the
new and splendid asylum in Troy,
Brush making is the chief business of
the place, and is said to be the greatest
manufacturing place for brushes in the
world. Since the war the demand has
greatly increased and is seven still very
great and urgent. Brushes have not
shared the fate of the combs. Upon the
breaking out of the war. southern firm,
learning that Connecticut comb manu-
featuring company of whom they made
large purchaes, had declared for the I'm
ion informed the latter that they did not
want any more of their combs. Wherein
pom the comb makers replied, "All right;
VIC can stand it if the lice can" Brush
eS are still wanted.
Strange to say, NC have but one dry
goods store in place Of 5000 iuhabi-
tants. The deficiency, however, is made
up by multitude of groceries millinery
and tailor shops. In fact, Lansingburgh
is a point of no commercial importance
whatever; everything goes by to Troy,
and is then expressed here. Years ago.
the old Dutch settlers. were very illiberal
toward canal and railroad companies. and
the effect has been to send business away.
as the dog-in-t hemangcr policy always
does.
A very extensive beer brewery has late
ly been removed from here to New York,
to serve, probably, as a screw, lever, cog
or brace in the great political machine
run there by liquor and slavery, in the
interest Of traitors and rebels.
Lansingburgh has proved herself wor-
thy Of brotherhood with Vermont in
patriotism. by sending her brave sons to
the rescue of the national government, by
aiding to crash this monstrous and un-
pardonable rebellion. in short, we are
like the human race generally. "as they
were in the days of Noe, and will be in
the end of the world; eating. drinking,
marrying and giving in marriage, buying,
selling. getting gain; one generation pas
sing away to another generation coming"
yes, living dying aud going to Heaven
and He'll, just like other folks
