Lawrence, who has been under Mr. breed's tuition as teller for the past nine ears, aod in our opinion no better ehmee could possibly be made, as he has the ability and good will of the patrons of the bank and can fill the position to the satis- faction of all concerned. His many friends will be pleased to learn of h's promotion.' AIBY POINT, the site chosen for the new northern Ne* York insane asylum, is cooamandKig promontory jutting into the Lawrence river a^out a mile from Og- Abont 1,000 acrwi have been selected. The Plattsburgh Telegram says ''this includes a farm of between 150 and 200 acres, owned by a wealthy oil mer- chant of Philadelphia, named Humphrey.

A farmer there lost two horses aud sent out bills with a description of the men. Th< men answered the description given an< hey were locked op to await the arrival of the Canadian farmer. It is thougbi there will be considerable trouble covering the original horses as the alleged thieves have traded three times to the knowledge of tbe officers. THE match game of base, ball he. twaen the Malonea and Rutland? at Malone on Friday last resulted in a signal triumph for the Rutlands, the game at the close standing 13 to 7 in favor of the latter.

THI vocal and instrumental given by Madame de Angelis Waters, as- sisted by several of her pupils in Fort Cov- ington and Montreal, at Dickinson's Islauc en Tuesday evening, was largely attendee and proved to be one of the most happj events which has occurred on that delight- ful island this season. J&e ** Grenada' took down a full load from Dundee, an< tbe \ Princess Louise \ came down fron Cornwall with a large number. When al were joined with the many visitants at Du- qaita's, the large dinning Ijall of the \ Richelieu \ was filled to its utmost capa- city—iu fact too full for comfort, TL programme of tbe concert, embracing som fine selections, with bat on* exception, not- withstanding the oppressive heat of tb< room, was rendered ia a highly satisfactory manner. We regret our space is so limited that we are unable to give this really en- joyable occasion a more extended notice. THE kiwq social and baud ooncc in front of tbe residence of Mrs. Alien Matthews on Water street, in aid of tb< Mi E. church choir, Friday evening, largely attended, and, as we apprehended, proved a splendid success. At the begin- ning of the entertainment both t£e evan- ing and weather were simply delightful, but the portentious appearance of the heavens as time wore on compelled an early departure of tfe* many assembled their respective places of ahode. To pleasure steam yacht \ Ivy \ belonging J. R. Duquette of the Richelieu House, Dickinson's Island, brought up a full, load of passengers, wfcq enjoyed the trip and social wiUs great pleasure.

In the afternoon he enjoyed ran down Salmon river to the islands, d in the evening was the recipieuf of beajrty congratulations from many friends n his recent appointment to an honorable lucrative position in the custom house in New York.

Wm. F.

Conductor Richardson ami station agent Leslie, gave Mr. Creed a full description of Giilan—his clothes, looks, etc., who at one* unhesitatingly declared the man Gihan who had com« up to the Fort on Shturd;\y. etehing was the W. E. Giilan being shadowed and tracked by detectives from Boston westward, as the guilty parry to the recent clever bauk check forgeries. Mr. Creed at once sought an interview in St, Lawrence county, and the valuable prizes offered lor fcorstts on Thursday will insure a field of bon»es on that day f that for numbers and superiority have never been excelled or equaled at any fair bald in this State. ; J Ia addition ta the many other attractions of this fair, there will se a aeries of three days trotting extending over four days com- mencing on Tuesday, the first day. The large sum of $3,700 will be distribute^ in prlcas during this pertod, which of ltaelf cannot fall to make the Fair highly interest- ing and attractive.

THE New York Herald of Wednes- day of last week contained tbe following intelligence, which, we feel sure will be perused with pleasure by a large number of people in Franklin county: \There were a number of appointments made at the Custom House yesterday, the mosi important of these being that of Wm. F. Creed, of Franklin county, as auditor. When tbe reorganization scheme w«at into effect the division of audits was divid- ed into two parts, the old auditor, Mr, Treichel, becoming head of oce part, uow called the disbursing division. The other new division—that ofacconntantor-rfalts to Mr. Creed. Under tbe old system the same ma$ paid the bills and audited accounts, too. Mr. Creed is banker, a member of the Democratic Committee and chairman of hi* county committee.\ ft is authentically ed that Mr. Creed has aceapted the posi- tion and consequently tendered his resigna- tion as cashier ef the Farmers' Natio&al Bank, and will remove to New York in the near future. Bis withdrawal will be tbe canse of regret by the public of the county generally, and, we feel confident •ore particularly by lbs customer* of that staid aod reliable financial institution, the Farmers' ifcionaL We know ijjat this step will he a causa of extreme- regret by Mr, Crted's many friends in th* town aod village of Fort Covingtou. In connec- tion with Mr. Creed's retirement from the di£zcult and responsible po*Uixjn as cashier of the Farmer*' National for tbe past eleven years, one pleasing aad flattering incident has coma to our knowledge. Dgriag tais period Mr, Creed, in hit capa- city, was compelled to protest the large nuabar of tare* thousand six hundrwd notes, in which hat on* ainfU mistake Qcourrad, and that on* resulting ia no loss to the bank or kimatlf personally. W* doubt if man? bank officials in the country can show as good s record. a short consultation Mr. Lee was despatch- ed with all speed to Malone bearing a letter to F. D.

Meantime Mr. Lawrence despatched officer Palmer, who was accompanied by F. E. Norton, to Brushton to hunt up and arrest Oillau if found^Hiisfatl where it was supposed he would be. GILL&X ARRKSSffD. six o'clock a telephone from Ma- lone announced that Gil Ian had been arrested at the residence of Rev. Father Normimdeau iu Brushton, where *he had gone during the afternoon, and was held in custody on a charge of forgery. It would seem that Mr. Kilburn, acting upon in- formation conveyed by Mr, Creed, at once dispatched officers from Malone who ef- fected the arrest in a prompt but quiet manner. It is said that something over $900 was found on Giilan when he taken into custody. We are informed that the yoan? man who has tkns beeu brought into such un- enviable notoriety is a son of William Gillao, a highly respected farmer residing a short distance from Brushton, ia town of Bangor. That he has received a good edu- cation his band-writing as well as his gen» eral appearance and actions at the Stafford Saturday evening, was quite apparent. Many people of that section had heretofore looked j^on, him as a kighly exemplary aod respectable young maa.
