A Negro Charged with Burning the Dwelling of a Recent Employer—Sum- mary Justice=The Chief Actor Hanged by a Mob. Baurniore, Md., August 1, 1872. A letter from Elkton, Cecil county, Md., states that on Sunday night last the house of Mr. Grimith was burned under circumstances warranting the suspicion that the fire was the work of design. The house was totally destroyed, the family of Mr. Grif- Mth berely escaping from the flames. On Monday three negrocs—John Jones, his son and another— ‘were arrested in Cecll county charged with setting fre to the house, and had a hearing before a magis- trate. During the examination, or soon after- ‘wards, the son of the negro Jones confessed that his father fred the house, and that the father and gon went together and fixed the material, when ‘the son ran away, leaving his father to set the fire. On Monday night, about ten o'clock, while the negroes were being taken to the jatl at Elkton, in charge of a constable, a party of ten or twenty men fu disguise took the prisoners from the officer and hanged John Jones to a tree, where the pods was found suspended on Tuesday morning. The fate of ‘the other negroes is not known. The letter adds ‘that Jones was discharged from the employ of Mr. GriMtn on Saturday last and on leaving used threat- ening language. TIRED OF SING SING, Attempted Escape by a Notorious Horse Thief, A notorious horse thief, named Francis Gertarrd, who is at present serving outa term at Sing Sing | Prison, made a bold dash for liberty on Wednesday. Taking advantage of the temporary absence of his Keeper, who was attending the funeral of his child, Gerharrd left off work, and, Daving bridied @ horse owned by a@ foreman in one of the shops, mounted the animal and started at a brisk pace in search of freedom. By taking a circuitous route, the fugitive Borseman succeeded in eluding a cordon of guards; but owing to the abrupt nature of the southern route, leading from the prison to the main road, the escaping convict emerged from ® ravine, at a distance of not more than fifteen or twenty fect from the second guard post.

FATHER RENAUD EXAMINED. Religious Instruction and Other Serious Charges Looked Into. ‘What the Several Officials Say Upon These Pointe—The “New Shop” and the Boys’ Earnings—The Executive and Indenturing - Committees, The investigation regarding the alleged irregu- larities In the management of the House of Refuge, before the State Commissioners of Public Charities, Was continued yesterday morning at Randall’s Island, There were present Dr. Nathan Bishop and Professor John Ordroneaux, of the Columbia Col- lege Law School, members of the Commission, with President Strong and Manager Edgar Ketchum and N. D, Herder, together with the prominent offi- cials of the institution. Without loss of time work ‘Was proceeded with, the charge regarding religious instruction first being taken up. As preferred the charge is as follows :— RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION. In that the managers of tho sald House of Refuge have neglected to provide proper religious instruotion for sald inmates, and have, by corporal punishment inflicted upon hove reusing to aticnd the services in the chapel on Sun- e Hee em to e partin the wors! as pre- scribed by the rules of the institution, ae With respect to this charge the President, Strong, offered the act of incorporation of the Refuge, their bylaws, daily journal of the institution and the books used for the purpose of worship, presenting in this connection the annexed statement, which is important :— In the use of means for the reformation of our Inmates we have always found that the teachings of the Biblo were ainong tlie most efficacious we could employ. With but few exceptions those eommitied to our charée have either forgotten all that was ever taught them of religious truth or have never received from parents or teachers even the plainest truths of the Gospel. But very tew of them can repeat the Lord’s Prayer or have any well de fined idea of their duty to God aid man, ‘The proper ob- servance of the Sabbath, therefore, by cessation from all Work, by the assembling of the: inmates and officers for Divine worship in. the chapel in the forenoon, by the simplest and most direct application of the truth’ of holy. writ from the rey ularly appohited chaplain of the institation, and by a Sabbath school service {n the atter- ly, guarded from all sectariah or denomina- neies 4s considered necessary and binding ‘Tho for of service which has béen adopted by upon us, the inanagers has been framed with the greatest care {hit nothing therein, im the way of pratse or prayer, shall offend ‘the religious scruples of any one of the inmates Who may havo been born or educated in the observance of any special creed. Our chaplain is of course aware that Rothing is to be inculeated of a denominational character, and has most carefully observed this rule during the nino years of his incumbency, and every clergyman, of whatever persuasion, who occupies the ulpit on the Sabbath, and every Sabbath school teacher is cautioned to confine himselt in his instraction to the simplest truths of the Bible, as received and tanght in common by all sects, | We subinit herewith printed forms. of worship in use in the institution and the edition of the le. PRESIDENT STRONG was then examined by Professor Ordronaux, and in sub- stance said that only one, denomination had complained Togarding the religious instruction at the House, that being the Roman Catholic; it had been asked to separate the children of such belief from the others, with a view of such teachings, but their rules would not allow this; all were given the’ truths of the Bible with no sectarian in- culcations, their moral reformation alone being sought; rlests of the Catholie faith also desired to generally dis- ribute tracta grnong, the inmates, but that was no} mitted, as it would not do for any one outsidé to come between the officers of the Refuge and the inmates. Such Fathers have always had full access to the build- ing, and at no time see'a ‘a8 Application been made in vain to sick child, who desired their attendance ; have never m parents of the boys to complain that the religio ings were denominational; at one period attende religious services in the chapel every Sunday for seven years, and after much observation at this time, the eer- Vices were shortened, having but one Church service in the morning. and but one Sabbath school reunion in the afternoon; there was more music, aud with the other alterations @ more decided interest was taken'by the in- mates; the manual of worship waa compiled at quest of the Managers, and so well did it prove to be ‘was required, other Houses of Refuge hav BRADFORD K, PIERCE, D.

Here Professor Ordronaux referred and read from the HERALD a letter signed by Father Renaud, and published on Thursday, in relation to the relig- ious instructions of the Refuge. He took up that portion in which Father Duranquet was. mentioned and asked Dr. Pierce regarding it. In answer the chaplain said his intimacy with Father Durangquet had been of the most traternal and kindl: nature; letters that would be Presented would establis that beyond cavil: and after conversations upon the sub- Ject it was ag he should once a month visit the chapel and speak; he did come and delivered a fine ad- dress, was greatly pleared with our manual of worship, and then took no exception as to the restrictions regard: ing the administering the sacrament; never .advised a boy when leaving the institution to go to any particutar church. The letters above referred to as being sent to known Dr. Pierce from Father Duranquet were then oifered in evidence. They are important Sr. Francis Xavier's Contece, Jan, 6, 1871, Rey, Mr, Prence, Chaplain House of Refuge : Rev. Dean Sin—It has been a pleasure tor me to relate to my friends the kind reception and treatment I have met at the House of Refuge. f must observe, although I fevl a delicacy in taking the liberty to do so, that, upon { reflection, I find something objectionable, fer me, in one of the features of our proceedings three weeks ago. Itis the blending of the Catholic priest and that of the Prot- estant minister, T would be anxious to know whether, when T come to the Refuge again, I could go into the hail, only after you have concluded your prayers, and so have thy instruc. tions entirely dfstinct from your service. Tam well aware that from your standpoint you can hardly ac- count for our scruples in this matter; yet I thought I had better candidiy let you know my own feelings. And T assure you that even If—to my regret—T could not preach the Resuge, could ‘not appreciate the less the and fairness with which yon have treated me, ope that hereafter we shull not be altogether strangers to ench other, Twill make it a point to see you before the end of the Present month, I remain very'respocttully, FATHER DURANQUET, Sr. Francis Xavier's Cortece, Jan. 19, 1871. Rey. B. K. Prexce, Chapinin House of Retuge :-— You had made me an offer which was quite free on your part, Thad made no petition nor put in any claim. Your offer was made in the most delicate manner and carried | out with the greatest cordiality. T have every right to be thankful, and Tam glad itshould be known, | May it tend to promote that spirit ot charity which ought to prevail in all and most especially in such matters. But if the action of the Catholic priests apon Catholii children has to be confined to an instruction of a general character once every two months; if that instruction forms but a part of a Protestant service; if the children have no access to the sacraments of thelr Church except in time of sickness; if, in his instruction, the priest eannot exhort them to the reception of these sacraments, then the exercise of thelr religion eqptinues to I ractically exchided from the instithtion, ‘My consenting to give lie structions to them under such circumstances ‘would only convey a false impression to the public at large and to the cpiigren, themselves, Unfortunately, your kind offer and my acceptance of it, for an experiment, do not solve the momentous question of the religious Tight of those children and of their parenta. The system pursued in the {nstitutions under the charge of the Commissioners of Charity seems to. you to lead to dissensions. Speaking of it, You alluded to the trouble in the other part of Randall's Island. Tf you | would examine into the matter you would find that it originated altogether in the breaking up of that unfair arrangement by which the Catholic children had to attend both “services, while the Protestant at- tended only their ‘own. It was not created | by the introduction of different services—they existed botore; but by the disappointment of Protestant ministers | whose congregations were considerably reduced, when | | they could no more have the Catholic children, having had them betore, they resented very much the reduction, ‘uir as vas. | gol fepeat auain that Tam, very thankful for vour cour. | tesy to me. There remains A question yet untouched | about which the public mind has been more or Jess aul. ated tor some time. Tt is one which cannot be sattled us. Whatever may come TL hope you will always find mie on the side of chuirlty. “Respectiully and gratefull yours, FATHER DURAAQUIE As I wish my course should be fully understood, Ima; communicate this note to the Managers uniess, Indve you would ommunteate it yourself, Examin 1—There have been tracts in the hands of Catholic childron in the Refuge, and are now; only a little while ago, alittle boy came running up to me showing Me one; never knew & boy refuse to.go to the chapel; never knew a boy to be whipped for not going.

FATHER IGNATIUS RENAUD, of St. Frances Xavier's College, who had been sent. for by the managers during the morning because of 4 letter in the HERALD over his signature regarding , the subject of revgious instruction jn the fuge, | _Lfeel 1 owe you an explanation for my apparent incon- sistency in back! wement, and pro- fessing at ‘with the manner | in which T the House of Refuge. “to shoot Hondurian commander surrendered on | ment, and that you might to giv benefit of your knowledge we sent you a note ask- ing this Visit, Are you willing to testify in the matter? A. Tam, sir, Father Renaud was (hen sworn, and said that he was Priest, and beside his college duties had others, puch as 8 mnissidnary ; was in charge of Randall's Island by direc: tion of the Archbishop of New York, visited the Honse of Re! ‘aasked Superintendent Jones'+ pe ‘jon, and never was refused; never Was admitted the girl's department. By Professor Ordronaux—You have especially qualified one charge in your letter, about not having access to the fumates, whetlier healthy of slok. Were you ever refused - ay i the privitege of secing or girl? ‘A/T once met a wo F the boat house; mother of James Davis, an inm sked me to see ‘the latter; asked Mr. Jones’ permission to do so, but was refused; he ‘Was notin the Bospttat, and Mr. Jones said that it was hard for him to refuse the request, but he could not go lations of the institutions, which torbade ion to distribute some books around ion being that it might go on step by step, with no ond. Superintendent Jones—When Father Renaud asked to circulate the tracts Ldid not understand that he meant he wanted to take them to the hospital; had I so under- stood it permission would have been granted; no other denominational tracts are ever asked to be distributed, ang asTecoustrue the rule in the case, such are not ad- pitted. Rov. Dy. Pierce—As an instance of this kind T would fay that some time since the Westminster Catechism was acest fo be, introduced and the managers refused their sont, Superintendent Jones—The bounils of ministrations by reverend gentlemen under the rules are confined to the attention of tho sick. Father Renaud, continuing—I am sure there is a feeling in t tholic Church that their priests are debarred free access to the institution, and among the Catholic communtty that this is a Protestant institution. When Father Duranquet wppeared in the chapel here he was Rot allowed to preach Catholic doctrines; hg did not act 48a priest: tho impression. exists that the Catholic chil- dren must attend the chapel with Protestant children; 1 haye heard that a boy uamed McDonald, once an inmate, had been whipped tor not going to church, and he showed me a scar over his cye, where he sald Mr. Jones struck jm. Superintendent Jones—With permission I could say Me- Donald had 2 natural swelling, a wen over his eye, and ag to my striking him it is unqualifiedly false. Father Renaud, continuing—Have heard that girls died hore without the sacrament being administered; nover ‘was asked to go into the girls’ hospital, ev. Dr. Plerce—Priests have been called to sco girls, and are always sent for when the request ia made. Father Renaud, proceeding—As fur as the improvements of their morals, I think the Refuge isa better place for tho boysand girls than tho streets of New York; think many that are sent here attend mass and church when at homo, but not all; there are many of these yery bad, Manager Ketchum to Father Renaud—Is it fhe opinion among Catholics that whatever religious teaching is given. not Roman Catholic that it is Protestant teaching ? Father Renand—No; Jewish teaching is not. ir. Ki um—Is it mong Catholics that any religious teaching given that is founded on the New % it is Protestant liké the question clearer, Mr. Ketchum—Suppose they tauzht the existence ot God, the fact that the Bible Ix the word of God and that Jess Christ is the Saviour of mankind, and that coming to Jesus Christ above they may be saved from their sins and obtain eternal life ¢ Father Re! hat is part of the Catholic teaching. It depends on the way you come to Him. If you come by the reception of the “sacraments and the observance of the Jaws which He has promulgated to man, that’s Catho- ie teaching. Mr. Ketchum—fle that belicveth In Me shall be saved; he tliat believeth not shall be condemned.” “Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden’ and I will give you rest.” Let t he teaching on Sunday, Father Renaud—We admit the truth; but that is not enough; with it should be joined good works. To accept such matters in faith alone is not enough; there must be the sacraments and observances of the Chureh. The theological discussion, for such it seemed to resolve itself into, was continued for awhile, when the Matron of the Refuge was called, Father Renault remaining in the room, JULIA BROWN, being sworn, said that sho was the Matron of the House; hed been in the institution about twenty-five years, and held present position ten years or more; came in daily contact with the girls; kiow when they are sick; never heard them ask’ for a _ priest when ' sick; have seen Catholic fathers visiting the hospital: he was invited tocome by me, after acking the sick girk ifshe wanted to see him; have not had a death in the girl's department in two years: never dissauaded any girl om her religious hellef; think that what they wish to be- lieve in this respect they should without interference ; the girls attend the chapel and like to go there; never heard them complain of the Refuge's religious teachings. Mr. String—There are two members of the Board of Managers who are Catholics, Judge Charles P. Daly and Nathaniel Jarvis, Jr. Father Renaud then asked Matron O’Brien a few questions, when James Downing, an inmate was called. He was told by Professor Ordronaux that no harm could come to him, and that he could speak without hesitation, James had attended chapel, and sup- posed he was expected to; did not consider himself @ faithful Catholic, but rather would attend that church and hear the priest. Father Renaud drew out the last admission, E. H. Hallock testifled to the manner of conduct- ing the Sabbath school at length. CHEATING THE INMATES, The fifth charge was now taken up, lows:— The said managers hold out inducements to the boys to earn money for themselves and then defeat thelr hopes and take away thelr earnings wrongfully. On this point, Superintendent Jones was exam- ined at length. Much interesting information was deduced regarding the “new shop,” where the boys receive pay for their labor—three dollars a week after the first three months, and then five dollars a week, receiving after nine months’ services are honorably scharged. John Boyd and John Frazer, two names selected from those at work in the shop at random, were called and testified at len; -—They were well satisfied with the shop and its rules, each boy haying a book showing what he had earned; they were never cheated out of their money; the Commission- ers looked into this matter very thoroughly; thero was shown by the books of the House that $1,324 were credited to these boys in this shop; each one has ® memorandum book with thelr earnings en- tered. IGNORANCE OF MANAGERS., The charge regardil the inefficiency of the managers, the Commissioners besitos had already been answered as they progressed, but President. Strong on the point offered in evidence a sketch of the duties of the management, which was very full in its details, ‘The charge is as follows:— ‘The said managers of the said House of Refnge are igno- it of its internal workings and condition, and that be- canse thus ignorant they have retained in office as Super- intendent for several years Israel 0. Jones, a man wholly undit and unworthy o the position; whose administration is characterized by brutality and neglect of the great in- terest committed to his care, In this connection the managers present by Pro- fessor Ordroneaux’s questionings, certified that had Superintendent Jones ever been a brutal and neglectful man, they would have certainly known it, N. D. Heider, of the Executive Committee, and Edgar Ketchum, of the Indenturing Committee, testified fully as to the working of these commit- tees, when the Commisrioners adjourned until eleven o’¢lock on urday, The chance stiil remains for any onewho desires MY testify in this matter before the State Commis- sioners, CENTRAL AMERICA, + Advices from Costa Rica and Columbia to the | 2ist ult. have been received via Aspinwall, and from Honduras via Havana to July 23, Costa Rica.

Jordan, were also present, The Connecticut troops were re- ceived by a committee of the Lincoln Association at ten o'clock in the morning from the steamer State of New York, and marched to the association head- uarters, South Fourth street, Wilifamsburg. ere they partook of a collation, and a procession was formed of tho three com- panies of militiamen and the Lincoln club, This body, preceded by bands of music, then marched out to the park, The Connecticut militia- men made a very creditable appearance and were uniformed in dark blue frock coats and Hight blue pants, aud wore white crossbelts and shakos, with umes of red, white and blue feathers, They num- red about seventy-five men. The second part of the Brogtamme consisted ot oratorical displays, but there was but one orator Beans to “orate,” This gentleman was from {ssissippl, colorea, of course, and though he lacked declamatory genius, he was fully up to the mark in vigor, He went “right hack" on Greeley, and struck out for Grant, in the language of a gentleman present, “teeth and claws.” It was quite observable that he did not swing the whole audience on to the administra- tion track, At the close of this the only address of the day, with the exception of a brief address of wel- come by President J, A. Trower, of the Lincoln Republican Committee, Mr. Giles read the Fif- teenth amendment to the constitution of the United States, and the afternoon's programme was con- by President Trower of a gold medal as a souvenir to each of the three commissioned oficers of the Connecticut troops. This took place about five o’clock, and there were then probably not less than three thousand persons present, the ladies being especially noticeable for the gala display they made in their attire. In the evening the park was brilliantly fliamin- ated, and the entire scene was one of the most boisterous, though pleasant and good natured, en- joyment. Dancin, was indulged in up to near midnight by an assemblage of prob- ably one thousand persons on a single dancing platform. A few small quarrels occurred, but nothing of a serious nature. Sergeant Rogers of the Brooklyn Central Police OMice, was on the ground with a squad ofmen, but was not called upon to make any arrests, and the entire afuir passed off with satisfaction and credit to the colored peo- ple. At Highground Park and Boulevard Grove siml- lar peaaiviniee were indulged in, though on a lesser acale. The Hudson River Negro Jubilee—En- dorsement of Grant with Enthusiasm. ba Hupson, August 1, 1872, The colored people of the Hudson River counties celebrated the anniversary of the emancipation ot the West India Islands in this city to-day. Early in the day a great crowd came up on the chartered steamer Neversink, which vessel had a fine band of music on board. The sable visitors were met at the dock by a delegation of Hudsonians and the greet- ings were curious and numerous. The old-fashioned darky was here from away back in Greene county. He wore 8 heavy winter overcoat, and had a red bandanna handkerchief sticking out of his side pocket. His pantaloons were of heavy gray cloth, and on his feet he wore number ten cow- hides. His head cover was a caution; it was a stove-pipe hat, of the style of twenty years ago, and the rim was bent in every direction. However, he had cs much fun as any of them. Columbia county darkies were in high glee, and the way they spent their money was a caution. The females were attired in harmony with the recent fashions. At various points along the streets impromptu stands were located, and on them were edibles of a substantial nature, in- cluding raw clams, pork and beans, huge chunks of beef and spruce beer and lemonade. Scores of country “darks” patronized these stands and put appalling eran 8 of provender down their capa- cfous mouths, Long after dinner a procession was formed and marched to Court House square, where the exercises for the afternoon were to take place. Rev. Mr. BurLER, of New York, opened the pro- ceedings with prayer, and during his divine peti- tion he prayed that whoever. was elected in No- vember next the colored people might be the gainers, GaRReET Deco, of Hudson, then nominated Mr. Richard J. Fry as Chairman, This gentieman is a Sayshaited Man of about seventy years of age. els decidedly an intellectualiooking being, and made a very good Chairman. The first speaker introduced was a Mr. Johnson, of Albany. He commenced his remarks by referring to the condition of the colored race twelve years ago. The political horizon was then darkened with strong prejudices against the negro race, but the war came and then the slave advanced first to the dignity of a contraband, and when the war closed he became an American citizen. Alter referring in detail tothe Filteenth Amendment he | took occasion to mention President Grant's name, when he was Leamesintely interrupted by uproari- ous applause which continued some time. When it subsided the speaker rejoiced, he said, to witness | such an Co eh wget and said that im November | next the vote for General Grant would be swelled tenfold by the votes ef colored American citizens, and that vote will be the more sacred because it will be the first time the colored people have a | right to vote for a President. Again Mr, Johnson wasdoudly cheered, and then he attacked Mr. Charlgs Sumner’s letter. He said it had a sweet sinefl and pleasant sound to Greeley demo- crats; but on the 6th of November it will be writ- ten that Grant is again President and Henry Wilson his. sreparter, and that Charlies Sumner has gone up Red River, with no party to accompany him. Any democrat who voted for Greeley was a democrat still, therefore colored people could not keep his company. The speaker was sure that unless Mr. Sumner was reasoned with he would do more harm for the colored Peto than even Greeley has, Mr. Johuson denounced Greeley’s Poughkeepsie A} in measured terms, and denied his allega- tlon that the colored people are lazy. When he concluded the applause was deafening. The day passed off quietly, aud the colored folks behaved quietly and orderly. INDIAN HOSTILITY. The Red Men Determined to Oppose the Northern Pacific Railroad Expedition— Reported Attack on the Cattle of the Explorers. Cntcaco, August 1, 1972. A despatch from Fort Sully, Dakota, received at Sioux City yesterday, says the Yellowstone expedi- tion, which was rendezvoused at Fort Rice for the | renthee of guarding the surveying party of the | Northern Pacific Railroad, was all ready to mareh | on the morning of the 26th of July, aud undoubt- | edly left at that time. je Indians are very hostile, and it is almost cer- tain that they will attack the party.

BURNING OF DEAN ACADEMY, Boston, August 1, 1872. The Dean Academy, in Franklin, Mass., was totally destroyed by fire last night, The total loss will probably amount to $120,000, on which there is } insurance of $80,000, The pauding, grounds and paratus originally cost $200, e fire is sup- posed to have beem accidentally caused by plumbers, who had been at work about the building | yesterday afternoon. The entire philosophical an aratus and the cabinet were saved, together with most of the planos and furniture of the parlors aud reception rooms, Later, Boston, Mass., August 1, 1872, The total insurance on the Dean Academy is $106,000, of which $10,000 is in the Home, and $7,500 im the Citizens’ and International Companies of New York. The balance is;mostly in Massachusetts offices. At @ meeting of the trustees to-day it was | ing CALIFORNIA DIAMOND EXCITEMENT. ———— Alleged Discovery of an Almost hdless Quan- tity of Diamonds and Other SAn FRANCISCO, Angnst 1, 1872. The San Francisco and New York Mining Com- pany, to work the new diamond fields near the head waters of the Rilo Colorado Chiqnito, has been incorporated, The trustees are:—Albert G. O'Neal, William Lent, Thomas H. Selby and Maurice Dore, of San Francisco; and Samuel Barlow and General George B. McClellan, of New York, The company has been very secret about its operation hitherto; they have in the Bank of California $100,000 worth of large diamonds, the value of which is ascer- tained and a dozen of which have been cut; they have also one rough diamond, weighing 102 carats, and about a quart ef small diamonds—rubies, sapphires and emeralds of no small value, The emeralds are of good size, but of pale color, The fact that the Aztecs, before the time of Cortez, derived large supplies of such stones from the north of the Gila River has been a matter of tradition, and many rubies ana small dia- monds have been brought from there within a few years past. A number of rubies and an emerald of small value, brought from Arizona six years ago by Colonel Albert S. Evans, are now in the cabinet of Wells College, at Auburn, N.Y. Quite an excite- ment has been excited here by the exhibition of the large diamonds, THE PRESIDENTS PROGRESS. eae A Trip from Utica to Trenton Falls Reception by Rustics and Stray Pice nickerseAnothcr Reception at Watere town—The President and Party Highly Pleased. Urica, N. Y., August 1, 1872. General Grant, with Senator Conkling and his party, started from here this morning, shortly after eleven o'clock, in two carriages, for Trenton Falls, There was no excitement about thelr movements And no notice in particular was taken of their de- parture, The ride was a most enjoyable one throughont, and the Senator and his guests made the most ofit. Five miles of a continued upward | Slope, through a fertile and generatly delightful country, brought them to the top of “Big Hill,” the summit of whose range forms the northern bound. | ary of the famous Valley of the Mohawk. ‘There the carriages stopped a few moments, that their occu- pants might enjoy the pleasure of LETTING THEIR EYES WANDER over the broad and varied expanse beneath, includ- ing the entire valley, with the city of Utica lazily smoking in its bosom and bathing her feet in tho winding Mohawk River, whose silver thread showed itself here and there along the entire length of the valley. The party moved on and went headlong down an irregular descent of some nine miles until they drew up at Moore's romantic hostelry, imme- diately adjoining the Falla. A PICNIC RECEPTION, They were met at the entrance to the grounds by a long procession of the farmers of the district and some picnic parties from the neighboring towns, headed by the Inevitable brass band, and escorted to the hotel, which they entered amid enthusiastic cheering; then came the usual forms of introducing and handshaking, which fasted nearly half an hour. Indeed, the President's reception at ‘this romantic country resort was much heartier than any other he has received since he last left Long Branch, and | he appeared to enjoy it hugely. After the hand- | shaking came dinner and after thet a scamper through the woods and an inspection of the really magniffeont falls which give this locality part of 1ts name, After thoroughly enjoying themselves THE PRESIDENT’S PARTY started for home at six o'clock P. M., and arrived here at paler eight, highly pleased with their day’s rustication. he President will leave here to-morrow mornin; at eleven o'clock by special train and arrive at Watertown at half-past two, where another civic reception awaits him, THE JAPANESE EMBASSY. The Japanese Embassy, consisting of over forty persons, whose names have already been published in the HERALD, left the St. Nicholas Hotel yester- day afternoon, at half-past four o'clock, en route for Boston. A large number of persons collected | around the hall of the St. Nicholas tosee the curious | Eastern visitorstake their seats in the barouches | Mning the sidewalk in front of the hotel. A lon; line of carriages containing the distinguishe visitors drove — rapidly down Broadway, attracting considerable attention, and tle members of the Embassy were quickly placed upon “the Providence” steamer. Mr. ‘harles W, Brooks intimated that a very favorable reception was to be given them by the Boston Cor- poration on their arrival in that city. They will remain in Boston atthe Revere Hotel until the 6th inst., whence they will start on the Olympus (one of the Cunard line of steamers) for London. They intend to remain about a week in London, when they will go to Paris, and spend considerable time travelling in Europe, | THE OONTRAOT COMMISSIONERS, The Contract Commissioners met yesterday at half-past four P.

He referred to the excavation of the culvert as scan- dalous as regards the price levied for excavation; $1 40 per cubic foot would not be too low, and Afty cents for filling would not, in many cases, be un- reasonable. On being asked by Judge Sutheriand | whether he had examined the rock constituting the | grading of part of Madison avenue, he replied in the negative. { In the second case Charles F. Chandler was | brought up for examination, to testify that certain | streets supposed to be paved with the Hamar wood | avement were not regulated according to con- | Tact. | The next case was J. D, Moore, for regniating, grading, curbing, gutter and flagging 113th street, from Third avenue to Harlem River. | Mr, West, 115th street, testified to the non-fulfl- ment of the contract, The next case was that of Thomas Owen, with | Thomas Feely assignee, for regulating and pavin; Fifth avenue, from 130th to 138th street. Joho H. Strahan acted as council for the Comptroller. EF.

The story of OMcer Bloodgood, | as related to Justice Cox yesterday morning, is as follows:—He had heen married to his wife, who fs an attractive-looking female, ~for several ears, and lived happily with her. On going to his home’ in Thirty-first street, Tuesday evening, he | found a portion of nis furniture had been carted of, | his wife and adopted child gone and a@ sweet little | note lying on the table, which informed him that she had sought @ more congenial spirit, and destred that in the future he should keep away from lier, ag his presence was obnoxious to her, After recovering from his surprise he learned “she hal gone with @ handsomer man” named | George Moore, and was living with him in Twenty- | first street, under the name of Mra.

Four Trotting Races—Lady Wheeler Wins the First, Schutzen Boy the Second, Slim Dan the Third and Bully King the Fourth. The attendance at Hall's Driving Park on the Coney Island road yesterday afternoon was quite satisfactory to the proprietor, and the sport that came off was equally satisfactory to the spectators, Three trotting contests were announced to coma off in the advertising columns of the HERALD; but another one was added by an impromptu match being made, when one horse distanced the other the first heat of the third race, ; The first race was for a purse, which had fou® starters, These were bay mare Lady Wheeler, driven by James Campbell; black gelding Mate; driven by Asa Whitson; bay mare Lily, driven by Mr. Johnson, and bay gelding Bay George, drive by Mr. Carroll. The latter was distanced the first heats” Mate was a great favorite in this race, about two to one over the ficld, His backers were vel cunning, or i least yer supposed they were, 1 utting a driver behind Mate that would be sure e beaten the first heat, so that the betting would the other way. Mate was badly beaten the first hea’ according to advisement ; but when Asa Whitson oR in the su Ky. and the odds increased in favor of L Diack, to the great astonishment of the Bull's Head financiers Lady Wheeler won the second heat. Some pumping in the shape of hedging was in- duiged in, but not enough to save the wreck, Many wallets owned between Third and Lexington ayes nues were considerably callendered during the afternoon, } The second trot was a match between a French man from Limerick and a Dutchman, said to be fot $1,000, but one or two cyphers might be taken off without injuring the integrity of either party, The race was mile heats, catch weights, to road wagons. The horses were called Schutzen Boy and Pleasure Boy—the latter a well-known roadster, old enough to have a vote, for Greeley—and the other a great shapeless creature, very suitable for the purposes for which he is at present used. Schutven Boy won the first and third heats and the race, Pleasure Boy and party considerably “bent.’” y ‘The third event was a match for $400, between bay gelding Slim Dan, to wagon, and gray mara Dolly, la harness, This adwir was quickly settledy as Slim Dan distanced the mare tho first heat. ‘The sudden termination of the above trot led A match between Mr, Gildersleeve's blind bay geld. ing Bully King and bay gelding Slim Dan.
