 GEN. GRANTS funeral services were held at Mt. McGregor on Tuesday, and the same day the remains were removed to the capitol at Albany. The funeral train was beautifully draped. No woodwork except the sashes of the windows was visible. The engine tender was draped with plaited black radiating from rosette's center. The sides of the cab were covered in like manner Black cloth was draped from the boiler rails and the front was fixed with taste. At the rate of eight or ten miles per hour the train moved eastward out of Saratoga. The bells in the steeples of Saratoga tolled as the black train trailed slowly out of the village toward Albany. There were nine cars in the train. Next to the engine came the funeral car "Wood- lawn" The other ears were occupied as follows: Car No. ?, clergy and Dr. Doug las third. the sons and notable mourn CTS; fourth, Gen. Hancock and staff i; fifth, Gov. Hill and staff; sixth, the press ]; seventh and eighth, the military escort j; ninth, the baggage. Mrs. Grant chose to train. In the funeral car the U. s. Grant Post, who were with the remains, were mounting guard at the casket. The re- mains rested upon a black dias and the compartment in which they lay communi- cated with the main saloon by folding doors, which were open. In every village through which the train passed rows of uncovered heads and f1uttering scarf1ets of mourning were seen, while above the rush of the train arose the sound of booming cannon and the ringing of village bells.
 The remains were viewed by thousands of people while in the New York capitol, the constant line continuing the march through the day and almost all through the night About II a. m. on Wednesday the train containing the coffin and its at tendants, under charge of Gen. Hancock, started for New York. All along the line crowds of people, with uncovered heads, silently waited beside the track. At New York, the pressure of people at the depot and along the line of march was immense. As the procession entered Broadway, the show of black became profuse, and flags everywhere were seen at half-mast. The crowds down town were denser, too, and the police had greater difficulty in repress- ing them. But they fell back, on persua- sion, and the route was at no time inter- fered with. More than an hour was con- stunned in reaching city hall. When the right entered the park, the left was still mile away, at Houston street. Yet only the military with few exceptions, marched ih this parade.

Two ways of looking at it

That the men whom Gen. Grant whip. ped.i in the great rebellion should be ready to act as bearers and sincere mourners at his funeral, is the crowning fact of his ca. reer that will rivet the attention of the world. There never was a spectacle like t.-S1ori'aafeld Republican.
 There are thoughtful people to whom it may seem strangely suggestive that the men who did most to destroy the govern ment are on such an occasion given post of equal honor with the greatest of the loyal chiefs who aided Gen. Grant in preserving lt.-B0aagO7' (lfe.) Whi0.

The local mar kets have great difficulty in obtaining a supply and on occasions are entirely out of stock.

The bluefish have probably struck off the coast for vacation but before the fall they will return all the latter for the tripon a feeding ground D

The i've story tenement, 26 Canal-st., was found to be mined and, fixed in the most thor ongh manner with powder trains and fuse and shavings soaked in alcohol for a noe turnal confagration that would have im- perilled half hundred human lives. The plot miscarried by accident. The proprie- tor of barber's saloon on the first floor an Italian by the name of Frank Sciacca fled, and is hunted by the police as the projector of the crime
