gentlemen greeted us with an appropriate address, 
and the entire party proceeded to explore the great 
natural curiosity w liich has made Watkins famous, 
and is winning it popularity as a summer resort— 
Freer’s Glen. 
The Glen is unique in its attractions. It is a rare 
combination of the grand, the beautiful, the pic¬ 
turesque and the romantic. Beetling cliffs, tower¬ 
ing two or three hundred feet straight upward on 
either side; musical cascades, with the water laugh¬ 
ing softly to itself as it trinkles down them; sin¬ 
gular pools, hollowed out of the solid rock as 
smoothly as though chiselled for the baths of wood¬ 
land nymphs; overhanging foliage, making a per¬ 
petual twilight;—these are some of the character¬ 
istics of the place. It was lirst brought into notice 
as a resort in lNfi3, and six sections are now open to 
the public, extending nearly two miles. Our party 
passed through the first section, Glen Alpha, and 
then lunched at the little rustic establishment 
known as the Glen Mountain House, 
Tmutdens Stevens has prepared new articles of

Senator J. B. Hendersou from Missouri, was mar¬ 
ried on the 35th inst., to Miss Mary Toot of Wash¬

the Cabinet, several Chinamen, and other distin¬ 
guished persons attended. It was a brilliant affair. 
The nomination of Collector Smythe as Minister 
to Austria, causes considerable talk and surprise in 
Congress and in political circles. It appears that 
Mr. Smythe has been working for the place for some 
time, and has assured the President that he can he 
confirmed. 
The Senate confirmed the nomination of General 
Martin T. McMahon of New York, to be Minister to 
Paraguay. 
The Secretary of the Treasury has published a cir¬ 
cular to the effect that only Collectors and their

trict Attorneys, Inspectors, special agents, and 
others, are not authorized to make such collections.

A GOOD TIME TO SUBSCRIBE! 
As the Second naif of Volume XIX of the Ritual 
New-Yorker commences this week. July 4th, now in a 
favorable Him to subtteribe or renew. Agents, and all 
earnest friends of the Rural, will please note this, bear¬ 
ing in mind that every new subscription will tcM In ena¬ 
bling us to make the paper more acceptable and valuable. 
And now that splendid crops are being vouchsafed farm¬ 
ers and planters In almost every section of the Union, we 
trust they wifi not forget the Rural and other journals 
which seek the best Interests of producers. 
— In renewing, as wc trust all soon will,—either by 
remitting singly, or joining or forming a club,—we hope 
no one will neglect to invite others to give the paper 
a trial for six months or a year. Single or club sub¬ 
scriptions will be received for six months at the same 
proportionable rates as for a year, and free copies, etc., 
allowed In proportion. 
Nail Works Burned. —The extensive nail works 
and nail plate mill belonging to the Pittstown Iron 
Company, at Pittstown, Pa,, were totally destroyed 
by fire on Sunday last. The fire originated in one of 
the heating furnaces. The loss is estimated from 
outside sources to be from 8100,000 to 8150,000. 
Thence we 
proceeded through the upper sections, as far as the 
Glen is opened, carefully creeping under the beauti¬ 
ful Rainbow Falls, ICO feet in height; and on our 
return gathered in it sort of natural amphitheater 
to he photographed by the artist who has obtained 
so many fine Glen pictures. Returning to the 
Mountain House, wc were the partakers of a splen¬ 
did collation prepared by the citizens, after which 
the Committee on Resolutions reported. Among 
other resolves was one that President GANO de¬ 
served to have his name set in Caps throughout the 
remainder of his natural life and forever after, for 
divers and sundry reasons which were satisfactorily 
given. (So deserving, we say to our typos, Amen.) 
The resolutions being adopted and a speech or two 
had, we ascended Glen Mountain, from which a 
magnificent view opeued before us,—the village at 
our feet, its neighbor and rival, Havaua, at our 
right, and the Lake stretching away into dim dis¬ 
tance at our left; descended to the village, where 
Mr. CnAMMAN, of the Pleasant Valley Wine Com¬ 
pany, held open bou&e at Capt. Tuttle’s residence, 
and treated those of the party wh© were not “total 
abstinence” to Eparkllug Catawba; and then such 
as were not too weary were agreeably “taken iu” 
(to carriages) by citizens of Havana, and carried 
over to that pretty village, there to “do” another 
Glen, the People’s College, and have a pleasant time 
generally. 
And thus ended the annual business and social 
gathering of the Fraternity, sketched hastily and 
brielly, as time aud space compel. There are bright 
spots in life—even an editor sees them, now and 
then. Such as the last one can never grow dim !

paper In Contents, Appearance, Ac., Will! any similar jour¬ 
nal, weekly or monthly,—or with any reprint of a dally or 
trashy literary pnpnr. State the tact that the first cost of 
the Rpeal (for Editorial and other Contributions, etc., Ac.) 
is far greater than that of any of Its contemporaries,— and 
moreover that It is far cheaper now, at *3, than It was nt ¥2 
before the war, A little examination and figuring will satisfy 
any candid,intelligent person that the Rural NewYojshbb 
I s really the cheapest paper of its class.

Thet have artificial ice works in full operation 
near New Orleans, and thousands flock to them 
daily to Bee the process, which bids fair to obviate 
entirely the necessity for importing northern ice. 
The artificial ice is sold at % of a cent per pound. 
The manufacture is said to be peculiarly attractive, 
from the pumping cf the water from the turbid 
river, near at hand, t> the slipping out of the pol¬ 
ished, glistening slabs of alabaster-looking ice from 
the tin moulds iu which they are congealed. Arti¬

A recent meeting called by the Liberals to 
consider the Irish church question, which took 
place in Guild Hall, London, was the scene of violent 
disorder. The majority present were lories and their 
interruptions of tl/jjiroeeediugs finally ended iu a 
general uproar when the resolutions were read. 
Fights took place in various parts of the hall, and 
the Lord Mayor and other gentlemen were obliged 
to retire from the platform. The tories held it fora 
time, and harangued the assemblage, declaring that 
the bulk of the English people were opposed to the 
suspensory hill. 
In the House of Commons the Irish Reform bill 
has been read a tliird time and passed. The Kegium 
Donum, the Governmint grant annually made to the 
Presbyterian Church of Ireland has been voted. The 
new postal convention with the United States is still 
pending in the House. The Government is en¬ 
deavoring to make uniform terms with all mail 
steamship companies. 
A mutiny broke out recently on the American 
clipper ship Nercus while lying in the port of 
Antwerp, during which her officers were severely 
handled by the crew, aud ucarly overpowered. The 
police were notified and hoarded the ship. The U. 
S. steamer Ticonderoga, which was lying near by, 
sent some of her crew to the assistance of the police, 
and after a desperate fight the mutiny was suppressed. 
Prince Milan IV. has been publicly proclaimed to 
the militia of the fortress as the ruler of Servia. In 
the proclamation the government returns thanks to 
the army and militia for their loyalty and good con¬ 
duct, aud exhorts them to be firm in their support 
of the new prince. 
The KiDg and Queen of Belgium, accompanied by 
a hrilliant retinue and the nobles of the kingdom, 
recently reviewed the United States squadron, under 
the command of Admiral B'urragut, at Ostend. 
Extensive preparations are being made at Worms 
for the celebration of the Reformation, and the 
unveiling of the statue of Martin Luther. 
News from Japan Is important. The Tycoon has 
accepted the conditions of the Mikado, viz.: to cede 
nearly or quite one-half his territory, disband 
his army, surrender hifi navy and himself and retire 
to Mito, for which place he left on the 12th of May, 
on foot, in token of humility. He gave orders to hiB 
admiral to surrender the fleet, but that officer left 
Jeddo with all the vessels, and it is not certain 
whither he has gone. He is probably somewhere on 
the nothern eoast ready to cooperate with the 
friends of Stots Bashl, The trouble is by no means 
at an end. A strong coalition has been formed in 
the interest of the Tycoon, and all the most power¬ 
ful of the northern Daiinios have joined it. Aidesan 
attacked a body of the Mikado’s troops on the 10th 
of May, twelve miles from Yeddo, routed them and 
took possession of a castle recently surrendered by 
the Tycoon. On the 17th he attacked another army, 
killed 800 and captured 300, all of whom he beheaded. 
A large army occupies a strong position near Jeddo 
and another is threatened, thereby cutting off the 
retreat of the Mikado’s troops. On the 22d of May 
another engagement took place only six miles from 
Jeddo, also ending disastrously to the Mikado's 
army. Fourteen hundred were killed and 800 
captured.

Rates of interest are very low, particularly on Government 
securities. In New York call loans are made as low as Sai l 
per cent. The next quarterly statement of the banks Is to 
be made about the first of July, aud their easy condition 
will prevent any derangement of business In consequence 
of making preparation for it. 
Foreign exchange 1 b high, sales during the past week being 
at about 110. Wc arc shipping to Europe but little just now. 
and our payments for goods, interest on railroad and Gov¬ 
ernment bonds arc to be large for tbe next ten or fifteen 
days. To meet this tbe Government, for Interest and princi¬ 
pal, on the first of July will disburse about $35,000,000 In 
gold. These large payments, so near at hand, keep down the 
price of gold. The sales lu New York were made at 140«. 
The shipments of specie to Europe were ¥2,651,000. 
U. 8. securities are firm. Slxty-TWOB and Sixty-Fours are 
particularly firm. These are being bought up largely for 
shipment to Europe. The banks continue to Invest In con¬ 
sequence of the ease of tbe market, and tbe difficulty of 
making satisfactory loans. New Five-Twenties and Eignty- 
Oues are favorites with home investors. The German U. S. 
stock market has recently been Quite active. The Frank¬ 
fort demand for U. B. securities has been steadily Increasing 
since the failure of Impeachment. 
Cotton.—T he supply m the country is light, and prices

ports nave rather increased In the last ten days. 
Woon.—The sales of wool of this year’s clip In Western 
New York have thus far been small,producers being unwil¬ 
ling to sell at pi Ices offered. The price bus ranged from S3 
to Sic. In Michigan sales are made at 35@40u.; in Ohio most¬ 
ly at 38<S»10c., though some sales are reported at 15c., and 
fancy clips of thoroughbred Saxon at 5bc. A very small por¬ 
tion of the clip in the country generally has passed out of 
first hands, and the amount of new wool that has reucked 
the seaboard Is not large. 
Tbe sales In Boston last week, mostly old wool, foot up 
625,000 lbs. at a range of 13®02.^c. for fleece, and 42>4<&52c. 
lor the various grades of pulled. Low and medium grades 
of the now clip are quick of 6ale In Boston and New York, 
as the market was nearly bare of these descriptions until 
the arrival of new wool. The market for woolen goods is 
quiet but firm for heavy fall styles. 
Tire Local Market has the usual repose characteristic or 
tbe near approach of the harvest season. The receipt of 
products keeps about even pace with the demand, aud prices 
ure consequently without material change, though wheat 
lias receded a trifle. Dairy products are firm at quotations, 
and may advance somewhat during the hurry of haying and 
harvesting.

Stale Editorial Convention. 
AMONG “ THE BRETHREN.” 
Over seventy “knights of the quill” will long 
cherish 6nnny memories of their two days’ tarry in 
Watkins, Schuyler Co., last week, while attending 
the Annual Meeting of the Editors’ and Publishers’ 
Association of the State of New York. The days 
were perfect gems of June,—bright and beautiful, 
the sky still smiling over young Summer’s radiant 
charms. It were well worth while to drop pens 
and forsake sanctums, and hie away with our wives 
to enjoy such days as these, when the invitation so 
to do comes from a pleasant village, coyly hiding 
itself on the shore of the fair Seneca. 
The Convention assembled on Thursday morning, 
the 25th tilt,., in Freer’s Hall. Our genial brother 
Gang, of the Watkins Express, the very efficient 
President of the Association, presided gracefully, 
and both in and out of the Chair aided greatly to 
enhance the profit and pleasure of the occasion, 
The opening Address by Rev Thomas K. Beecher 
of Elmira was happily adapted to the time. It was 
sensible, practical, suggestive, satirical and enter¬ 
taining. Many ideas which it contained, relating 
to editorial management, would prove of much ben¬ 
efit could they be carried out by the Fraternity gen¬ 
erally. The Address at the beginning of the after¬ 
noon session, by Marcus H. Rogers, of the Berk¬ 
shire Courier, Mass., was also one. of great interest. 
We should like to give some extracts from each of 
the addresses, but space will not admit.

lutions, reported during the afternoon session. The
