The Ilollis Long l blandor , the second number of which lia s been Issued , is printed in pamp hlet fo r m , and presents a n eat appearance.

If , however , it continues to boom the Is- l and in general as a desirable section in which to l o cate , and do e s n o t d e vote its energ ies wholl y to Ilollis , it will do a good w ork and should receive ils reward. It is a novel appearing paper , and is certain- l y very readable. Bu t it s publi s hers did lir o.

His ideas and me thods were so near what we have heen putting in practice for the past 20 years , that nothing fur t her n ee d b e said except that Bro.

Next came aa interesting talk fro m E.l gar Parker , of llio Geneva Advertiser , on tlie subject ol' \ Newspaper Advertisin g. \ A general discussion followed on the subject pre- sented. The Pre sident theu announced that in- vita t ions had b e en re c eived f r om v a rious transportation companies for the Asso- cia tion to visit Saratoga , Baldwin (a t i he foot of Lake George), Mt. -McGregor (the last home of Gen. Grant), Glens Falls , Au sable and other points of iutorest. These of course could uot all be accepted by the Association in a hody, though it \ ev entuated \ t ha t smal l de ta chmen ts ol editor s succe e d e d in \ taking in \ a bout all that was offered. In the evening, a very enjoyable hop w a s indul ged in at Sagninore Music Hall , throuuh the courtesy of the hotel manage- men t. On Wednesday morning the invitation o£ the Gham p Utn Steamboat, Uompany to take an excursion over Lake George wns accepted , and tlio steamer lloricon was placed at the service of the Associa- tion. Steaming down t he lak e , th e mos t m ag ni f i c e nt s cenery of water , shore and mountain is spread out to the view—al- m ost every foot of whicli has connected wi t h i t a de e p interest as the scene of trag ic or romantic events in the earl y his- tory of the country. Throug h t he vall ey of tlie Champ l a in , Lake G eorgo and tho upper Hudson the Canada Indians made annu a l r a id s u pon the M o haw k s , a nd her e tliey were often met and ambuscaded b y tlieir intended victims. Before the white man c a mo t he se valle y s a nd passes formed a continuous trail of blood. Later the Eng lish and French , aided by savage allies on either side , f a irl y watered the ground with t h e b l oo d o f each o t her. Tho w o rk of carnage ceased onl y with the surrender of Burgoync at Saratoga. Lake Ge orge is studded wilh islands , some improved and occupied by neat cot- tages , others densel y w oo ded and in a state of nature. All along the shores are deli g htful summer resorts , well provided wilh hotels , or ornamented with private residences , a ll showin g r e fined tas t e a nd u nstinted expenditure. Back from the shores en both sides rise the towering peaks of the great Adirondack range of mountains. These are too numerous for us to name , too grand for us to describe. Near the foot of the Lake the party lauded at Rogers ' Rock Hotel , and through the hosp itality ol ' the proprietor were extended the freedom of the p loce. The hotel is a delightful resort , admirabl y kept , and famed lor the charming views obtained from the elevations in its imme- diate vicinity. The most prominent of these is tbo famous peak known as Rog- ers ' S lide , an almost preci p itous moun- t ain n e arl y 1 , 000 feet. hlg h , over h a lf o f I t s side lacing the Lane being a smooth rock about 1000 feet wide at its base at the water , and reaching nearl y to the top of the mountain , at a sli g ht angle from per- p endicular : This rock is said to have re- ceived its name from the following cir- cumstance. In the winter ol 1757-8 , Mnj. Rob ert Rogers , with a small par t y o f rangers , was sent to iniike observations at Ticouderoga and Crown Point. In a skirmish with the French and Indians liis party was routed. Rogers escaped and was pursued by lhe savages , being easil y tracked b y tho prints of bis snow shoes in tho solt snow. Re made his way to the summit of this mountain , descended to tbe top of . the bare rock , ond throw over his luggage and overcoat , whi ch rolled oil' on the ice. Reversing his snow shoes , he descended to the Lako h y a ravine , [sicked up his belonaings and made his way on tho ice to Fort Wi ham Henry. The savages , observing two sets i.f tracks heading up to the rock concluded that both men must have gono down , and as n o ordinary man could go that way and live , concluded that their intended victim was under the protection of the great sp irit , and refused to pursue hun further. aVfter a hurried inspection of the sur- roundings the h >me run was made , and the balance of the day devoted to rowing and rambling about the beauliful sur- roundings of the Sagamore. This hotel is without doubt the fines' - on Lako George. It was erected some live years ago by a c ompany of w e a l t h y gentl e m e n from Philadelphia , innny of whom had cottages on the Lake shore. We had the pleasure of an introduction to the princi pal stock- holder in tho company—Mr. Burmett— nnd accepted an invitation to visit him at hi s charmin g summ e r hom e , opp \Site lhe Sagamore on lhe west side of the Lake. H ero our party were most agreeably en- tertained by our new-found iriend aud his amiable and accomplished daug hter. The Sagamore represents an expenditure of about $360 , 000 , and can accommodate about 500 guests. It is deli g h t full y situ- ated on Green I sland , 10 miles north of C a ldwell , and 70 north of Albany. Those who visit tbe p lace once are quite sure to go there again.

On Frid a y mornin g m o st o f th e edit o r s took leave ol their genial entertainers at the S agamore—some for direct return home , others to visit Iriends , etc. en route. The Bub y lon party, accepting the invitation of Br o. Norman Cole and family, to s pend a day or two at Glens Falls , soon found themselves at tno home of their friends in t he outski r ts of that hi s t or ic tow n , Unl ike most editors , Mr. Col e is enabled to indul ge in tbe luxury of a farm , to- gether wi th almost every other p l e a s ant surrounding. He ia a geologist and min- eralog is t of known abili ty , aa wel l as an e nthusiastic collector of Indian relics. Ho has, perhai.s , the fine st private collec- tion to be found in tbe country. Here we were must hosp itabl y enter tained , and shown every point and p lace of interest. Notably among these ale tho immense lim e and marble quarries , the Glens Falls Pul p and Paper (Jo. ' s works , tho Ter ra Co l ta and Br i ck Kiln s , the fa.nous Falls of tbe Hud son , the Indian Cave , made f a mou s by F e nim o ro Co o per ' s r o mantic account , etc. Glens Falls is ll beautiful town , its re sidence portion being particu- larly attractive. T he industry that at- tracted our attention most wns the Glens Fall s P ap er C o mpany ' s , emp loying 300 men , and repre senting over $1 , 000 , 000 in vested in buildings aud machinery. Th e power consists of 4 , 000 horso power of w ater and GO of steam. I t may not be g en e rall y kno w n , but a vast amount ol new s printing paper is made from wood. Here the huge logs aro hauled up fr o m t ho river h y machinery, and after being cut t o a given length are barked and gr o und int o pul p, which , alter a sli g ht ad- mixture of e.itton liber , i s r un in to paper , wi th whicli such pap ers as the New York W o rld , Brooklyn E a g le , Brookl yn Times , and host* of others arc supp lied. The vast array of machinery , running wi th cl oc klike p r e cisi o n , formed a m a gnificent sight to the eyes of a country editor. We d id not learn the amount of paper Drotliiced at these mills , but i t is evid e n t l y enormous. Glens Falls has six newspapers—two dailv and four weekly—the Messenger (weekly), bv Norman (Jule, who has pub- lished it sinco 1803 ; Hie Republican (weekl y), by If. M. H arris & Sou ; the fimes (dail y and weekly), by Funnell & Ti ppetts ; and tlio Star (daily and weekly). Among the local newspaper men wu mado many pleasant acquaintances , aud at the Times oilice renewed fiiendshi p wi th E. A. S. Marsh, ni g ht editor , who was a resident of Babylon a tew years since. R e luct a ntl y t a king le ave nf our hospit- able entertainers, Saturday afternoon found us at Congress Utill , Saratoga , where a quiet Sabbath was spent at that delightful resort. Monday was devoted tn tlio return trip, and thus ended one of the most restful and enjoyable meetings of lhe State Press Association. NEW YOHK STATE PRESS NOTES.

Many people would ho astonished ii they knew what a large business is being dune in the buying und selling t.f horses and carriages , and to prove this fact , we made a rail , lhe other dny, ssn Mr. Andrew Mowbray, of 233 Scherm erhorn street , Brooklyn. On entering lhe large and spacious sta- ble s , we were met hy a stout , ruddy an d affable gentleman , and making our business kn o wn , i t immediately dawned upon us that we were addressing tho proprietor , who bega n to give us some general infor- mation regarding tho commission and sale business . Mr. Mo whny inaugurated his commis- sion nnil sale stables about twelve years ago , and since that lime , a s hundreds of our best citizens can testify, has done more tu promote antl stimulate (huso who are lovers of burse flesh than any one man In Brooklyn. The stables are centrally located on one of the finest streets and principal driving thoroughfares. Each year Ml' . Mowbi' uy has seen the increase of a prosperous biisin-ss , anil , with keen foresight , ciime to tin conclusion that a branch repository would bo necessary to accommodate the consignments in car- riages and harness that were constantl y being [.laced with hi.n. A ca reful consid- eration was taken of this mntter . nn.1 after n inny solicitations from Ins friends he cuti - cluded to lease the large wai'erooms nt 104- Ailantic avenue , near Clinton street. This branch will bo under the able man- agement of Mr. J. Davis , who has beeu Mr. Mowbray ' s assistant fur years. Th e disp lay of first-class carriages and harness at these war troonis cannot he sur- passed by any in the city. The slock is large and varied , and the carriages are built b y some of the best makers. M essrs. N. J. Demnrest &. Co., of New Yurk , hnve a l so consi gn t d a v ery l u rge stock of first-class harness and have ap- pointed Mr. Mowbray their sole agent for Brookl yn. Mr. M o wbr a y ' s personal attention is g iven to all patrons , both of those wish- ing to buy or sell , nnd that alone has made him many Iriends. He thoroug hly believes in honest deal- ing wilh a small profit ; making a customer onc e , always one , is his motto , a nd a s no misrepresentation is allowed to consum- mate a sale , his reputation is fully estab- lished as an honorable , upri g ht gentleman , as his large , increasing business bears its icstim.ininl. T o t ho s e cont e mp l a ting purcha s in g horses , carriages or harness , wc say that it will amply pay them to visit his stables and warerooins , where it is most cerlain that iheir wants can be supplied.

The recent death at Elkton , Md., of John B. Hogg, who nearl y sixty years ago waa emp loyed in railroad construction , revives recollections of tbe manner in which tho first railroads iu llii. country were built. Mr. Hogg did his first work in connection wilh railroads in August , 1S29 , when ho waa ono of tho persons emp loyed by John Ran- d a ll , Jr., to assist him in laying out the New Castle nud Frc-nclitown llnilroud , wbich cou- necled thoso towns aud formed an important link iu the great route of travel by steam between tho Northern and Southern Slates. It was tho lirst railroatl iu the worltl upon which steam power was used for tho trans- portation of passengers , nnd among lhe very first roads in this couutry to use it for any purposo. Tho corps of eng ineers began work at New Castlo by p lacing tho first leveling peg in position , after which Mr. Randall directed each person to strike the peg, saying, \ This is tho first peg for a rail- road in the Stato of Delaware or uny other State. \ The road was seventeen miles long and was intended to be , and for a short was , used for horse power. It was of p*jg>:liar construction , the track consisting of long wooden sills laid on tho earth with p ieces of iron wagon tire nailed ou the upper sides of thein . The undermost sills of these wero called mud sills , and as they were at the foundation of the road tho term afterward came to bo used to desi gnate tho lower order or stratum of society, aud , tinali y, to be used oa a term of opprobinm nud reproach in tho political world. The tiro or top of the mud sills had an ug ly fashion of getting loose at tho euds , which would elevate them- selves like the hoad of a smiko in the grass , which they much resembled , nml which, iu tho parlance of railroaders of half a century ago , they were culled , and niauy aud serious accidents to life ami limb were caused by these snake heads forcing themselves throug h the hultoms of the cars uud iiitiituiiig tho unfortunato passeiigers with whom they come iu coutact. There being nothing to keep the mud sills from spreading apart , iu order to remed y this defect the other sills on which the tiro was nailed were p laced on stones set iuto the grouud, to which they were fastened b y means of sp ikes driven iuto p lugs of wood inserted iuto holes made for the purposo ; but still the rails would spread , and finall y the present system of usiug ties was adopted. The iron rails usc-tl to supersede tho wagou tire were called O rails , and were shaped thus : ft. They were xnado from thin burs of irou , rolled or fash- ioned iuto the proper shapes , much as the rails now iu use arc made. An Old Tims; Railron* * . (I.E. SEIiLMAN Local Editor . J ohn G. Terry of Brooklyn , a vetera n of the 13l)lh New York Volunteeis , met with a serious accident ou Monday evening. The old soldier has been an inv a l i d f o r so me years , in consequence of w o unds r e c e ived dur i ng t he w a r , and in the hope that the pure country air would bo of some benent to him had come to stay during t he BUi nm e r months wi t h Mr. 8. J. Styles , of this village. Ou Monday e vening he sought , ns usual , solaco in his pi pe , but in tilling it with his favorite weed he mistook tho box c o n ta ining it tor one filled with gun- p owder. All unconscious ol the danger before him , he lit it. A slash , a report , and the old man reeled . Kindl y hands at onco hasteued lo his assistance , aud throug h everything was done to make him comlortuble the old soldier has b e en grea t l y prostrated , but at last accounts was doing as well as can be expected. Edmund Seaman , a f te r weeks of intens e su f ler i ng , died on Wednesday afternoon from chronio gastritjs. The deceased , prior to his illnes s , was a man of active temperament , nnd wa s gre at lov e r of horseflesh. lie owned some of tl.e fas test teams in the vicinity. Kind aod c o ur t eous t o all , he w i ll be sadl y missed among our people. He outlived his aged father by only a few months , and was buried on Saturday, in the Quaker church yard. Pe a ce to l i is ashe s. J»*e8i.!>iir)y. I onoo k'jeiv a liul y who kept every boa* net she over wore and a sli p pinned to it with the year ami seasou. It' s a good iden , but she was rich , very rich. Sho wasn 't obliged to wear ono n . *eral seasons , having it looped here nud taken down there , and reconstructed ns thoroughly as a southern rebel, to suit uew times ami conditions. Neither was 6ho obli ged to take off tho feathers to be d yed and curled and turned into pastures new , so to speak ; to ri p off the ribbons , to loop curtains aud tho laco to ruflle into sleeves , while tho fancy p iu! either weut on tho new head gear or wero used for hairp ius , as , as—well , ns some women havo to do. She 'd be just tho one to fall iuto a new project in New York , n bonnet museum loan , which is being talked op. Such a museum would grow very valu- able iu time and would crystallize much of Iho feminine history of the nges. Ita cata- logue, would becomo stnn.lard litcratnro like Leck y ' s \ History of Morals. \ Think of the opportunity current celebrities would havo of \handing their names down to prosperity, \ a. a dear blunderiug friend of mine used to sa}* , just au Madam Pompa- dour , of infamous memory, stamped her tapering heel, into our snuds of time. There wonld be the \ Davenport flare , \ the \ Cleve- land poke , \ the—wh y, g irls , our Easter bonnets would become state events. As one ¦peaks of the Morgan collection of paint- ings , how odd it would be to follow up the \ Vere do Yero collection \ from the tiny bonnet of white lace , which the dainty bab y wore throug h th. various st yles of hor child- hood , bellehood , motherhood , to the p lain black silk bonnet which last covered her gray hairs. The bandboxes oug ht \ to be- lon g \ too , ranging from th. wall-papered boxes our grandmother had , or , if they wero swell , the ribbon bound ones , to our own two-story wooden ones which contain our French imported. It' s a great scheme and baa my full approval. Theft ot a Root, Henry Winkleman , a homesteader , living about three mile from Newport , Nob., wiu awakened earl y one morning recently by a noise on the roof , and looking up, saw that about half of it was goue. Greatl y puzzled , he hurried out just in time to see tho miss- ing section of his roof on a wagon , which was disappearing around a curve in the road. Securing his rifle , be waited. Presently the wagon caane in si g ht again , and its occu- pant , a nei g hboring homesteader , named John Peters , drove to within a few yards of tho house and stopped. He then approached on foot , carefull y removed another section of lie roof , and was carrying it to the wagon when Winkleman halted him , aud with the assistance of his son drove to Newport and delivered the prisoner to the constable. When asked what his motive was for this uni que bit of larceny Peters said he bad just completed the walls of a sod shanty, and being unable to buy lumber for a roof , waa tempted to appropriate hia nei ghbor ' *. .
