We are pleased to record great CONVEX
s;on. II is not the work of Moody and

rick Kelley has run for some time Wash

ciples," and it is to be presumed has made
money. Notwithstanding the fact that he
has occasionally appeared at the police
court and deposited his little ten dollars for
selling and ten dollars for keeping, with
liberal allowance of costs in each case. By
vigilantly appealing his cases, he has avoid
ed a heavier fine than this till the last
county court. A conviction was FOUND
against him then, and the drinks thereafter
would cost him some forty dollars and costs
each. This was rather steep and Pat exc
cuted a nice little ''lease" to one Frank
Johnson. When some unfortunate, TINS

Washington market, Patrick walked into
court with the air of a suffering martyr,
and produced his little lease. Judge OF his

validity of the lease and piled up some Soo

Especial to the Troy Times,l
The New York and Canada Railway
Excursion.

PLATTsBURoH, Nov. 10, 1S75,-The ex-
cursion train inaugurating the opening of
the New York and Canada road arrived
here at $50 o'clock, and the guests num-
bering 925, were handsomely received.
The train stopped and discharged its load
of humanity directly in front of Fou-
quette's hotel, and the guests were escorted
up the short incline leading to the hotel on
q walk made for the occasion. Along the
entire route demonstrations of joy were
made at every station at which the train
stopped, cannons were fired, bands serenad-
ed the excursionists, and general good feel
ing was manifested. The excursiopists
were kept in excellent spirits by Manager
Bresin, who had charge of the distribution
of viands on the train, and wine was free
and plenty as water. At Plattsburgh the
hotel stoop and piazzas were crowded with
representative ladies and gentlemen of the
town, and serenade was rendered by the
Pittsburgh cornet band. An hour and
half was spent assigning rooms and resting
places, many of the guests being compelled
to go to private residences.
PLATTsBURaH, Nov. 17tb.-Over $50
guests we're banquetted last night at the
Fouquette house, the entire first floor of
the building being monopolIzed by the

The Condition of the NAVY.

w ASHlNuION, NOV. IL
The annual report of Isaiah Hauscom,
chief of the bureau of construction and re-
pairs at the navy department, now being
prepared, will, after reviewing the work
done at the several navy yards during the
year, refer at some length to the condition
of the American navy as compared with
the navies of Great Britain, France, Spain,
and other European powers, and show that
while we lack powerful iron-clad sea going
vessels similar to those In foreign navies,
our own will compare favorahly with that
of any European government so far as dis
cipline and general efficiency are concerned
and that our vessels for mere police duty
are equal if not superior to those of greater
tonnage and of more formidable armament.
The condition of our iron-clads will also
be referred to and their fitness for coast
defence shown, as also the fact that there
were not two of such vessels fit for service
in 1870, while now we have sixteen which
can be placed in service within five days.
The report will recommend that policy
be adopted of building certain number of
war vessels annually, Of both iron and
wood, until our navy shall be able TO CON-
pete with that of any nation of the world.
The report of Joseph II. Walmaugh,
paymaster of the navy, has been submitted
to the secretary. He recommends that a
plan somewhat similar to that provided for
the army by the act of Congress approved
May 10, 1872, be adopted IN the navy, to
encourage thrift and economy among sail
ors, and suggests as to the manner of car
rying this plan into effect, that upon the
close of each quarter any balance remain
credit of sailor shall be at interest at the
