THE CHIPPEN-HOOK SPRING. - The
enterprising proprietors of the new and
valuable mineral spring, located at Chip
pen Hook, in Clarendon, are making ar
Engagements to fit up the spring in such a
manner as to make it conveniently ac-
cessible to the public, and a walk is to be
laid from the highway which will be more
agreeable to the pedestrians who visit
them daily to procure the water. The
spring has attracted notice 50 widely,
that the visitors are daily increasing and
the water is being sought after from diff
ferent sections and is transported in large
Quantities. The water taken from the
spring has been sent to a practical chem
ist, who will give an analysis of its quail
ties at an early day. This spring bids fair
to rival those Of any in this part of the
State, if not those exen of Sheldon, High
gate and Alburgh, in its medicinal effects,
and the proprietors Will undoubtedly be-
gin to fill orders soon for foreign con
sumption.

THE TAMMaGy JUDICIARY NOMlEATlOsS-Ma. JAMES {
SPENCER.

Among the nominations made by the Tamnany
Judiciary Convention on Thursday night last appears
the name of James G. Spencer for the coming
vacancy on the bench Of the Superior Court. The
selection thus made Is a most admirable one and
shows that Tammany in Its nominations Of cand-
dates for the judiciary has not been Influenced, as
charged against 1t, by desire to put none but
political judges" on the bench. Mr.. Spencer has
never been what is known as politician, but has,
from his admission to the bar to this moment, de-
voted all his time and energies to his profess
sion Mr. Spencer Is native Of Frank

OF the late Judge James b. Spencer, who was men,

his district in either legislature for several years.
upon the practice OF the law in the year $780, In the
courts OF his native county, In 1854 he removed to

tered into partnership with Judge W.. c. Brown,
forming the firm OF Brown Spencer, which for ten
years and upwards occupied high position and
prosecuted profitable practice in the courts OF

the Northern district OF New York. IN which office
the present District Attorney in this city.
In 1864, just after the Mcclellan Presidential cam
In the interest of '.Lltlle Mac" he removed to New
York, and at once and with great application ana
industry entered upon the practice Of his profession
attaining great success therein. He soon alter
entered INTO partnership with Mr. Charles A.

Building aud Its occupation by the HERALD the
new nrm of RapallO Spencer rented spacious
Offices therein where they soon acquired an cxten-
slve and profitable practice
The firm OF Rapa!lo Il Spencer, though lately dis.
solved, has been familiar to the public from the pro-
fessonal connection 1t had with some OF the gigantic
railroad causes cete0reS which occupied SO much
OF the attention OF the courts for two years past.
Since the dissolution OF the partnership Mr.. spencer
devoted all his time and attention ana professional
talents to his individual business and his own
benefit but he has lately associated with him, to
meet the requirements OF rapidly increasing prac
tlce, ex1Judee Flanders OF Franklin county, and Mr..
James d. Metcaf one OF his former partners.
Mr.. Spencer besides his high qualifications for
the Office for which he has been nominated, has
many claims upon the democracy of the city and

political leaders are not always ungrateful but will
sometimes recognize and reward the talents and
