Exercises of Temple

SARATOGA. June ct!

SARATOGA, June 9th.
The anniversary exercises of the Tenn
pie Grove Seminary closed last evening.
They have attracted unusual attention
this wear. Since this school came into
hands of the Rev. G. F. Dowd, it has been
constantly and rapidly improving. Mr..
Dowd has created an enthusiasm in this
community witch is quite remarkable.
His school is now regarded as one of the
great attractions of the place. The i'm
provements which he is making every
year are evidently appreciated. At the
reception given for the graduating class
last evening nearly all the leading families
! in town were represented. The new cat
sro,rue shows an increasing patronage,
which must sooa equal the full capacity
Of the institution. As it is open for sthdy
duripg the quiet months of the year,
ouY ool affords all the advantages
WI: syn claimed for one in more

those other advantag, "nAon n@s9 nA! ::

not only not surpassed, but we 49, -
unrivalled in its location as it Is q
its corps of instructors.
The examinations, which were all IN
writing, covered a wide range of studies
and gave evidence of thorough instruction
and healthful progress. The department
of French under Madame Comette, gave
an exhibition in French colloquy Mon
day evening, which appeared to your cor
respondent as nearly perfect as such an
exercise could be. At the concert 1ues-
day evening there was fine exhibition OF
what has been accomplished in the de-
partment of music under the charge OF
Mr.. NJ. S. Downs The opening piece
was a sweet chorus from cantata OF mar.
Downs composition. Some of the instru-
mental music was very difficult as for ex-
ample, the Movement Perpetual from
Weber, 'Balade" from Chopin, and
"Sturzo Brilliant" from Wollenhautt.
The first of these pieces was rendered
with faultless accuracy by Miss Could
the teacher of piano. A vocal duet from
Faust was finely executed by Misses
Arms and Smith !; and the names Of
Misses Dinsmore, kellogg and Comette
are entitled to favorable mention. Inc
concert as a whole was worthy OF mgr
praise. The essays of the graduatihe
class were read Wednesday evening. IheS
were written in a graceful style, far sooV'
the usual standard of such comp ositlon
and reflected very high credit upon MIS-
North, the teacher of Rhetoric and Eng
lish literature. On Thursday 'n'
an address was delivered by DIR. Daring

r partments Of literature. The Prineipa
then made very appropriate farewell ad

SARATOGA SPRINGS, June 6

SARATOGA SPRINGS, June 9.
Editor Rutland HeraM:-The long
work of preparation by the hotel keepers
and citizens generally, is nearly ended,
and the hotels and boarding houses of this
we'll known summer resort are now open
for guests. One letter will hardly suffice
to note the principal improvements made
since the closing of the last season. Go
in any direction something new will meet
your view. First, on alighting from the
cars, we find a new iron depot building,
which will accomm odate the travelling
public excellently for many years to
come. Next we find new street laid
out the full length of the depot, where
carriages and baggage wagons can stand
and load and unload much more con-
veniently than they could in the vicinity
of the old apology for depot. As we ap.
proach Broadway we notice hotels newly
painted and the streets put in order for
travel. All the hotels along the street
have been painted and freshened up, look
ing as good, if not better, than new, and
the insides, if we enter them, are all in
order to correspond.
The springs and surrounding parks
have not been neglected, but all look their
best TO correspond with the hotels, etc.
Above all things a provision for rides
and drives has been made, which was the
only attraction heretofore lacking. Last
year some thirty thousand dollars was ex-
pended on various drives, but none of
them were fully completed so as to come
into general use. A farther sum of
about thirty thousand dollars more was
authorized to be expended by the last
legislature, and now several of the finest
drives in the country will be in readiness
for use this season. That to Saratoga Lake,
is known as Unien Avenue. This is four
miles in length, one hundred feet wide,
we'll graded and gravelled, with lines OF
trees on each side for portion of the dis
lance. Spring Avenue is new road to
the Excelsior spring, starting from the
north end of the village, near the Empire
and Star springs. Ballston Avenue is
built some two miles to the Geyser spring,
with prospect of its being finished up
the full distance of six miles. The drive
to Glen Mitchell is on the north, directly
up Broadway, a very handsome place,
we'll worthy of a visit from all visitors.
These are some of the new and attractive
features of Saratoga in 1871.

give some particulars of life and things

NEW PENSION REGULATIoN.-Under
recent order of the Secretary of the In
terror, pension agents are required to
make their checks payable to the order OF
the pensioners, instead of as heretofore
making them payable to the bearer, which
was equivalent to putting the money
directly in the hands OF the pensioners
The result is that much annoyance Is
caused by snbjeoting pensioners to the III
convenience and difficulty OF identifica'
ton at the United States Treasurer
office, and already crop of sharpers haf
sprung up who profit by this fact te

THE NEW YORK CENTRAL RAILROAD

been made in the New York Central rail-

Mr.. Boutwell, to interfere, but he hal
taken no action, even to the extent OF
sending to General Pleasonton for single
paper in the case.

Pleasanton directed the collector to pro

Represented in the photographs so common
in the east, except that it has been newly
printed a light brown. 1t is now occu-
pied by Col. Harlow, Assistant Secretary
of State of Illinois, who very courteously
showed our party about the house. The
room where Mr. Lincoln received the COM
mittee from the Chicago Convention who
came TO give him official notice of his
nomination, is a large spacious parlor and
think ought to be kept in the same con-
dition it was then for when the present
generation has passed away and the muir
der now 80 familiar to us is learned only
from history, this room will be considered
sacred spot by the American people, and
the residence of Lincoln will be regarded
with the same veneration as Mt. Vernon.
Mr.. Lincoln kept small room in the
second story az play room for his child
rem, in which he used to spend great
deal of his time with them, engaging
heartily in all their sports and thus gain
ing their confidence and relieving them
of that shynes or fear which children
frequently entertain towards an austere
father.
Mr.. Lincoln's remains are now lying in
tomb at Ok Ridge Cemetery, about
two miles from the city. but will be moved
on the 4'h day of July next, into the vault
at the base of the Lincoln monument
which is but few rods from the tomb.

Oak Ridge is beautiful spot, consi tir

The BrattIebOrO Bank RObber1

The Brattleboro Record has the follow
ing in relation to the robbery:
On Wednesday noon, about halfpast
twelve o'clock, daringIrobbery was per
petrated at the First National Bank of
this place. 1t seems that an individual Of
good appearance, and well dressed, came
in and requested a draft to be made out,
which was done, and the money paid for
it. He then offered quantity of gold
and silver for sale, which upon being
connted out did not tally with the amount
he claimed to have. After some words re-
specting it, he concluded to take it back
to woman he represented as owning it,
and depositing it in a bag, he departed.
At about 2 o'clock, on entering the vault
of the bank, it was discovered that some
Sl3, 900 were missing, about $4,000 OF
which was in new bills, and some $4,000
in mutilated currency, which was to be
sent to Washington for redemption. Meas
ures were. taken to discover the perpetra-
tors of the deed and during the night
quite a number of officers were out On the
search, but up to this time no clue has
been obtained to the whereabouts Of the
robber or robbers. In connection with
the affair, it appears that for several days
past two persons have been stopping a
the Glen House, West Brattleboro, having
span of grey horses, but no baggage
About half-past IL o'clock, Wednesday
forenoon, they called for their team, pait

Destructive FIRE.-A fire occurred
at Aver, Mass, ormerly Groton Junction.
on Thursday night last at half-past eleven
o'clock. 1t originated in the paint shop
of the Ames Plow Company, and owing
to the combustible material inside, 1t was
soon a mass of ruins.
Shortly after the fire was discovered, an
explosion took place from barrel OF shell
lac varnish or bepzine taking fire, and
came near proving a serious accident
to those at work removing goods, etc.
from the building; as it was, only few
got hurt by the falling bricks. slate, etc.
The flames quickly communicated to the
shops and sheds adjoining, and only by
the most desperate fighting was it con-
ouered. At one time it was feared that
the whole town of Aver would become
food for the devouring element The
company lost some 300 hay tedders, lou
Perry mowers, 100 horse rakes, 5000 OK
vokes. rs corn-shellers, 13 horse carts, II
hand carte, and a great deal of WORK
nearly finished $4,000 worth of steel rake
teeth were destroyed. The whole loss ii
estimated at 100000; insured for $4,000
This is the eighth FIRE they have had OF
the works within ten years, but none 81
serious as the present one. They lost
steam FIRE engine, which had been repair
ed and was in the paint shop at the time
It was undoubtedly the work of an In
cendiary, as nail-keg was found burn
ing in the lower room before the Ere hal
communicated at all with that part OF tn
building.
i We understand the company will pro
coed at once to build up again, and a
their machinery was not damaged to an!
very great extent, they will continue
/. man ufaeture as usual. ...r--=..
