SARATOGA, August 2, 1859.
The church bells notified Saratoga yesterday morn.
Ing that 1t was Sunday, ana that excellent oppor
tunty would be afforded about eleven O'Clock for
fashion to spread herself The number VINO responded
to the summons was shockingiy insignificant; frat,
because the alabaster forms are not accustomed TO
the habits Of the lark; second. because few mortals
are blessed with talents TO achievs q fashionable
toilet before noon, and third, because when nightly
hops and frequent balls lend the brancy Of gasght
10 attire, they must be desperate indeed
who expose the mysteries OF their art to
the uncompromising sun. There were some
fresh young faces and sedate mairons, not having
the fear Of daylight before their fashionable vision
however who joined the regular congregations. and
added not little to the worldly attractions OF the
churches At the Presbyterian church. Or. Vincent
OF Troy, preached TO large congregation In the
morning. The Congregational church was well
attended OF both services. Rev. Mr. Day preached
IN the morning, and Rev. Dr. Vincent In the evening"
The usual monthly communion service superseded
the regular afternoon service. Rev. W. Fl. Harrl-
son, OF Augusta, Ca, ogicated at the Episcopal
church In the evening, and al the Baptist church
Rev. Or. Spear preached In the morning and Rev.
Or. Cheever In the evening, both to large and nte-
rested congregations. Dr. william Butler presented
the cause of the American aud Foreign Christian
Union at the Methodist church in the morning, and
the regular Universalist service was held ut the
rooms OF the Young Mems Christian Association
morning and evening.
A few glded equlpaaes marshalled themselves
before the sacred edices but most OF the congrega-
lions moved by platoons along the shaded walks
thereby displaying the trumphs OF genius In the
starch and slipper branches ana the latest agony in
parasols. The rustng of silks In the aisIes and the
suffering OF wonderful handkerchiefs and fans were
conducted In a manner gratifying 10 the most fasti-
dious critic OF religious worship, and the organs
praised God for his mercies with all the precision
that operate cultivation could exact. The exhibi.
zion Of prayer books was exceedingly fine, and the
admonitions OF the preacher We're applied by the
listeners to their several friends and acquaintance
with discrimination truly surprising. Some were
prodtcd, many enjoyed themselves az well as II al
would have, no doubt, returned home satisfied had
there been no train on Saturday evening from New
York TO spring upou them that new bonnet.
While the above mentioned were remembering the
sabbath day TO keep II holy after the approved fash
sonable rules the later rsers, in stunning morning
dresses look their raiions at the springs and after
breakfast, dreary Ia having no hop nor ball Incen.
