STOCKS, WHITEHALL AND RUTLAND
ARREST OF PART OF THE GANG.
For some time past the Delaware &
Hudson Canal Company have been an
noyed by the loss of freight on the REM
selaer & Saratoga division of their rail
roads, between Comstock's Landing,
Whitehall and Rutland. a strict watch
upon the road developed the fact
that the robberies occurred upon
the trains while they were under way
between the places named. After being
satisfied on this point, a telegram was
dispatched to Special Detective Austin
Mullen, on duty at Saratoga, by Assist
ant Superintendent Smith of Troy, re-
questing him to Immediately investigate
the matter. The detective left for the
scene of operations, and took up his
headquarters at Whitehall. The Al

perate gang Of thieves were Iocale9

WHERE.
The Office of the Cheeyer Ore Bed
Company, located at their mines about
mile and half north Of Port Henry
village, was entered by burglars about
one or two o'clock on Friday morning.
and robbed Of a large amount Of funds.
The office is located in the companvs
store, which was entered by forcing open
the back door. The money drawer Of
the store was first opened, where some
thirty or forty dollars were secured. at
ter which the safe-a Herring was
blown open, its contents carefully OK.
amined, and every dollar it contained
pocketed and carried away. About
twelve hundred dollars worth of black
diamonds, used for drilling, which were
in the safe, were found scattered aboG.
the office. together with numerous vain,
able papers, and were all recovered, tie
robbers removing only the cash. We
are unable to state the amount Of he
loss, but are credibly informed that tie
rascaIs made one of the largest haul= Of
the season. A suspicious character was
seen by an employe, who passed the Of
fee about two o'clock a. m, and the eZ-
plosions were heard by persons residing
near the office, but no alarm was given,
and the burglars and their booty were
probably some distance away before tie
robbery was discovered next morning
10 clue has been obtained of the peypa-
traitors. AYe also learn that burglars
have been operating in some Of the lake
towns north of Port Henry. Look OF.
for them.

The CIRcUs-A GALA DAY IN TowsoNTowN.-
Tuesday was gay day in our usually quiet
town. Howes' circus and menagerie having
been announced to show here on that day, at
an early hour in the morning people from all
sections, in carriages, on horseback and on foot,
commenced iocking in and by noon our streets
presented really lively and animated ap-
pearance.
About 10 o'clock the advance guard" of the
great combination was seen advancing from
the west, on the Joppa road, the circus having
exhibited in Westminster on the afternoon and
evening of Monday. The line for the grand
street parade was soon after formed and by
eleven o'clock the grand pageant was moving
through our principal avenues, to the preat de-
light of all the children in the village, and
some of larger growth as we'll.
The exhibition tents were pitched on the va
cant lot near the Jail and the afternoon enter
tainment commenced at o'clock, the immense
canvass, with capacity for seating 1850 peo-
pie, being comfortably filled. The evenings
exhibition was also we'll attended and the
management of the circus, it is understood, ex-
pressed themselves as being much pleased
with the large audiences of both entertain
ments, and it is supposed the treasurer left
Towsontown with several hundred dollars more
than he brought, over and above expenses,
which are about 81 500 per day.
AS is too often the case one or two pick
pockets followed in the wake of this circus and
here they piled their little game with some
degree of success, one gentleman from Har-
ford county losing his pocket book, containing
$SS. 1t is also stated that several others lost
smaller amounts but for the truthfulness of
which we will not vouch, the loosers being con-
tent to keep the matter quiet. One arrest was
made, that of Jim Morgan of Baltimore, but
as there is no evidence against him, it is like
ly he will be discharged.

CONVENT OF NoTRE DAME.-The new convent
,ot rha slstess o. Eotre Dame, situated at the
intersection of Charles street and Homeland
avenues, about one and a-half miles from Bal
tmOre, is nearly finished, so far as it is intend
ed to carry the work at present, that is to the
completion of the main or central portion of
the edifce. This building is in dimensions, 66
feet front by 1856 feet in depth, having height
of four~stories and Mansard. 1t is construct
ed with the view of adding at future period
wings on each side Of the building three-stories
and ManseFd high and 200 feet front by 60
feet deep, giving a total front when the entire
plan shall be coRsummated of 466 feet. The
present building will have accommodations for
about 100 girls, and when the wings shall be
built, for between 800 and 409.
The building is constructed and furnished
with every accessory and appointment for COM
fort, convenience and safety. The grounds are
forty acres in extent. A lake, two acres in area,
in the rear of the building, is now being made.
The material of the building is sand brick.
The walls are very heavy, some of them being
% inches, and others of the outer walls 26 in
ches thick. The rooms are divided into class
rooms, music rooms, play rooms, refectories, in
Urinary, dormitories, &c. The music rooms are
so located that the sound of the instruments
cannot be heard in the class rooms and other
apartments, where the occupants might be dis
turbed. There is water and gas oil over the
house, and the latter will be made on thep prem
ses. As security against fire there are fire.
plugs in each story, with hoes attached, and
four wide starcases in such parts of the build
ing as will afford easy egress from every floor.
Electric clocks are placed in each story and
class room. There is tower to the building,
rising 40 feet above the roof, which is SO feet
above the ground, thus giving an attitude to
the tower of 1873 feet. Besides bells and speak
ing tubes through the building, there is a bell
in the tower, which can be rung by electrici-
ty. The cost of the building, SI5O,OOO, exclu-
.sive of the grounds, which cost $40, 900, is fur
nshed from the resources of the Sisters from
the earnings of the school in Baltimore, which
mas been very prosperous, and has always en-
Ioyed high repute as an educational institute.
The complete building, when the wings are ad-
ded, will cost $500 900.
