The house Of Gerrit Smith is at Pc
teTbOrO', n. Y. He is now in the 73d
year of his age, yet full of life, and
interested in all passing events and
new theories. His wife is a beautiful
woman, just in the prime Of life
Their residence is a model Of arehitee--
tural beauty, spacious, and venerable
for age, having been built by Mr..
Smiths father nearly a hundred years
ago. About thirty acres of ground
Immediately around it are laid out in
gardens and walks, and adorned with
fountains, lighthouses, cOnseTvatories
and graperies, and made picturesque
with running water, rustic bridges and
rural eTectiOns. Mr.. Smith maintains
a generous and almost undiscrimina-
ting hospitality for, though he is in
clined strongly to mateTialism, and his
wife is a spiTTtualist-an admirer of
Davis andi Harris-and they combat
each others opinions with the utmost
freedom; yetamOng their visitors they
often have Presbyterians, EpiscOpalf-
ans, Lutherians, Baptists, MethOdists,
Universalists, ,Unitarians, Deists, Athe-
lists and ROm9nists. And, with all.
the hostess appears on the most friend
Iy terms. Their evenings are passed
in the enjoyment Of music, dancing,
whist, and recitations, in the great
parlOr of the mansiOn-hOUse.
Among the new things at PeteFbOro'
was a female base ball club, with a
granddaughter of Mr.. Smith for its
captain, who, it is said, 'handles the
club with grace and strength worthy
of notice" And sit was a very pref
ty sight to our lady correspondent.
Ito see the girls with their white
dresses and blue ribbons flying, in full
possession of the public square, while
the boys were quiet spectators Of the
scene" This for Saturday. On Sun
day there was, first, a sermon from
Miss Stanton, on the Women Of the
Bible" and second, in the afternoon,
q discussion of the sermOn-Which
seems to have embraced a eOnsidera-
ton of the whole question Of women's
rights and wrOngs-cOncluded by a
vote nearly unanimous in favor Of fe-
male suffrage; one maiden lady and q
sturdy negro boy alone voting in the
negative.
