' i number of ladies dressed in very rich and
fashionable attire, and would like to name a

We note with pleasure thu establishment in

the success it so well deserves. There cannot

Mr. Freeman, living in this county, brought
uto or.r office :i paper the dated January
4th, 1S00. The "Ulster county Gazette," is
the 1)21110 it bear, published at Kingston, New
York. In size it is about 21x24, and veryneat

of Jhe opening ol congress. Also an account
ofthe battle of Zurich, as taken Irom the Lon
don Gazettt, in which ilsptaks or the defeat or
the Russian army. AI-o sheriff-, sales from
which we di-covcr that in those days of our
country's history they could sell all a man had
to satisfy the claims of creditors, allowing no
re-ervation whatever. ISy the way a very dif
ferent state of things exist now-a-days. On
the inside it gives congressional and foreign
news. Al-o an account of the death ol Gen.
Washington, and the speech of 3Ir. 3Iarsh.il
on the death of Gen. Washington. Aiso a set
ofresolulions passed bythescnate, which were
sent to Pre-idtat Adam, and his reply. Thu
in-ide Is dres.ed in nioraiug. The column
rules are from one-eighth to one-half inch
wide, and it does terlaiuly present a mournful
appearance. It gives a full account, editori
ally, ol the burial, the order of the proccs.-ion,
names of the pall bearers, etc The paper is
terlaiuly a curio-ity, and valuable a such.
On account of the Iiaptits in this city hav

their quarterly conferrcncc meeting, whitb
should have been held on that and the pre
tediiig davs, to some future day, of which no
tice will be given in due time, and propose to
join with the lSaptit on that day to help
make their dedication a success. This is as it
should be, and we hope the other thurthc in
the city will follow the example set by tne
M-thodit. and set a-ide their sen ices for that
day and knd their assistance to help forward
