ST. VALENTINE DAy.-Fhe celebration of
this love letter day is so we'll understood and
warmly welcomed by large proportion Of the
people of this country. the manner OF lis COM
mcluoration Is so nearly similar every where
within the shadow OF the Legislative halls and
10 the camp of the troops, who forget not the
loved ones at home-that an explanation OF
n observance among Us Is unnecessary. Still
it IL interesting to refer to it briefly.
The custom OF celebrating st. Valentine :
day, as in our own time, is variouSy traced by
cccIc~astical and proiane writer's. According
TO some, We derive the practice from a very
old rural tradition that the birds ni the air
choose their mates on that day. In connection
with this subject of choosing 4 mate, mere is
some advice that may be followed hy all the
lair ones
Iced not the top, who loves himself,
Nor let the rake your love obtain
Choose not the miscr fur his pcll,
The drunkard heed with cold ds,!ain:
The profigatc with caution shun,
His race Of ruin soon is run,
TO none OF these your heart incline,
Nor choose from them Valentine.
But should some generous youth appear,
Whose honest mind is void Of art,
Who shall his Makers laws revere
And serve Him with a willing heart -
Who owns lair virtue for his guide,
Nor from her precepts turns aside
70 him at once your heart resign,
And bless your faithful Valentine.

LONG BRANCH, June %, 1870.
The season has opened at this lavorite place of
resort with great PROMISE both for the MOTEL
keepers ana the fashionable crowd that will be there
and that Is already gong, Every one admits that
he arrival Of guests and business generally are
hundred per cent better this year than at the cor
responding date last year. This is due to several
Causes The first is, no doubt the increasing popu-
larity OF Long Branch No seaside place has i'm
proved so rapidly within few years. While other
places may have some one or other special advan-
taRe this has many. The broad Atlantic rolls up
magnifcently on the beach. 1t is no bay inlet,
or indenta1on OF land. The ocean itself
life-giving air. The beach Is fine ana there is
gh and bold bluff, covered with ricn green car
pet OF grass to the very edge. The drives are fine,
ana there Is rlch productive country all along and
Immediately behind the hotels ana residences. A
great many new buildings have been erected since
other cause OF the season opening so well Is I'M
doubleday tho unusual hot weather we are having.
which drives people from the cities thus early. Still
another ID the improved facilities for reaching Long
commodatlons are improved, andthat magnificent
steamer, the Plymouth Rock. which connects with
the Railroad makes the ride out OF the harbor and to
Sandy Hook very agreeable. But the proximity OF
Long Branch to this great metropolis and Its con-
vehlent location for the people or Philadelphia
men ana their families. There Is no great metro
pOtan city In the world wei situated with regard
to q fine seaside place OF summer resort. BY the
time General Grant and his family reach Long Branch
there IL reason to expect an unusual crowd or visitors
and summer residents. Indeed, Long Branch Is fast
becoming a sort OF suburb OF New York. People are
looking forward to gay time there and the prospect
Is they Will not be disappointed.

NIAGARA FALLS, June 81, 1870.
The indications for brilliant and prosperous
season at this favorite resort extremely atter
ing. In week or two the season Will have fairly
opened. The number OF visitors already exceeds
that OF last year at the period of the season.
At the Clifton House, the Canadian SIDE the fol-
lowing names are among those who have engaged
rooms for the season:-Mr. Tiffany and family,
Mr. Schools and Mr. Andrew Mills and family,
Lacy Mrs. Commack, Mrs Vioette ana families
aud about sixty others from New Orleans; Sir John
Young, Governor General OF Canada, and Lady
Young, with entire suite; Premier Macdonald and
the principal members OF the Canadian Parlla-
ment. At the International, on the American side,
we may mention Mr. W. II. Clements, OF CINCINNATI;
Mr. d. ID; savers OF Lexington KY; c. Todd, of ST.
Louis; : =. CRIT Srttenden OF Atlanta and sewell Ma.
House there are about $50 families stopping at
present The custom at all the hotels, with the ex-
cepon OF the Clifton. IS transient than at any
OF the other summer resorts.
A SAD occurrence took place here last Friday. A
fierce rivalry has been gong for seasons past De-
tween the prvpnetors or essees OF Table Rock and
the Museum, Which stands near it on the Canadian
SIDE The cause OF the 'unpleasantness' is the Pho
tographing, interviewing and otherwise neecing
Visitors who may stray within their tolls. On Friday
the quarrel eliminated in tragedy. fight be-
tween the brothers Davis, who were engaged
In the business OF showing Visitors the sights
behind the Falls, and Barnett, the manager
OF the Museum, took place in the after
noon. Later, as the DAVIS brothers were pass
Ing the Museum IN an open carriage, Barnett
and some OF ms assistants commenced fusilade OF
abuse and stones The brothers instantly drew their
reviewers and fired killing q colOred man named
William Price, VINO Was standing at the door OF the
Museum. An inquest was held and the jury brought
In verdict Of wilfnl murder against Edward DAVIS,
who fired the fatal shot. All the parties are dis
grace to the neighborhOod, as might say are all
the sharks In the shape OF hackmen, guides and OUT
SIDE parties VINO beset the pain OF the VISITOR at every
step. We would advise visitors 70 avoid them by
making salts actory arrangements for every trip be-
fore leaving their hotel. There they may know what
they have TO pay beforehand, but In the hanos
