The Saratoga Excursiops.

The party which left this city on the ex- cursion over the Housatonic railroad last Monday for Saratoga arrived home Thurs day evening shortly after g o'clock. They found everything as advertised in every detail and all were highly pleased with the trip.
 Wednesday about two hundred went on the excursion to Lake George over the Delaware and Hudson Canal railroad. They left Saratoga at 10 a. m. going up by the side of Lake Champlain and around to Baldwin's, where they took the steamer down Lake George. The sail down the lake was very fine and all greatly enjoyed the fine views afforded. The Delaware and Hudson Canal company give the very best of transportation service, sending out the train both ways ahead of the regular, so there was no delay or hitch to mar the pleasure of the party. The party was large enough to warrant the manager to put the rate down to $2.75.
 A number of the party stopped at the American hotel, which is situated in the block between the Grand Union and the United States. This hotel is kept by Mir. Farnham. All who stopped there were much pleased with the management. Most of the party were quartered at different private boarding houses, but they report ed the aecommations very nice. The fourth of the excursions starts next Monday and the prospect is that it will be even larger than the last, when little over three hun dred in all went.
 MT. Peck and the manager of the Housa- tonic railroad are entitled to much credit for the very systematic and complete man. ner in which he has arranged these excur- sions, and all who take advantage of them will find all the arrangements thoroughly systematic and satisfactory.

 General Graham's Threatened Move.
 It is rumored that General Graham, the busted commander of the National Guard, may put summary stop to General Wat sons incumbency of the position by serv- ing a temporary injunction, restraining him in the performance of hA duties as brigade commander until he could prove to the courts satisfaction that he rightly held the office. A move of this nature might be held back until short while be- fore the hour of the state encampment. General Watson would then be prevented from from taking the command of the en- campment at Niantia, and much personal inconvenience to him would result, though no Ipermanent harm could be done, as some inferior officer would immediately as- sume his position.

 Referred to the committee on supplies with power to decide.
 The matter of the principalship of the high school was brought up before the board by Chairman Graves. MT. Leigh made the motion that the board proceed to formal ballot for the principal. This was strenuously objected to by Captain O'Brien, who thought that such an impor- tant matter ought not to be transacted in the absence of the members. The gentle men not present were Messrs. Avis, Adler and Howarth. The views of Captain O'Brien as regarding postponement met with little favor among the other mem bers of the board. MT. Leigh pointed out mer for the securing of good principals and that the election had been too long postponed as it was.
 In reply MT. O'Brien urged that an cleo tion of a principal at the present time would be in the nature of snap decision and the taking of an unfair advantage. The board finally decided to pr oceed to ballot with the understanding that five votes were necessary to a choice. The first vote stood: Thomas 3, Gulliver 1, Adams 1, Blank 1. Second ballot, Thomas 4, Adams 1, Blank i. At this point MT. O'Brien was very anxious that the matter should be deferred as, he said, it was evi- dent that no election could be otained. The next vote, however, showed Thomas 5, Adams 1, and Mir. Thomas was declared elected.
 The secretary was instucted to give no tiicat1on to the successful candidate of the result, At 9:15 the board adjourned.
