Schenectady used to M celled a "finished" city, tat I find many improvements that have been made daring the last tea yean. Considerable building las been done, and the bnainoia of the ctcy baa largely increased. This H due in do small degree to the IncieaM In manufacturing Industry which hat taken place. One of the largest locomo tive factories in the country is situated here. There are also extensive engine and boiler ma naiac tones, agricultural Implement establish' stents, etc. etc The oity also is something of a rail road point, the two branches of the New York Con trl, the one from Albany and the other from Troy, anitlng here, besides a third road lrom here to Sara tega. Add to this the presence of the Collem, so Ions rendered Illnstriooi by the eloquence of its late venerable President, Dr. Nott, and a most thorough and efficient system oi publlo schools for the city, and we have sufficient elements not only to account for toe present flourishing condition of Schenectady, but to give assurance ol its future growth. The Commencement exercises of Union College this year were oi somewhat unusual interest, as they were the lirst since the death ol Dr. Nott, and the first anuor the tall Presidency ol' his able saccissor, Dr. llickok. 1'bey were commenced by the Dacca laareale ol President llickok to the graduating c.as on lasi bunday altemoon. Ibis I did not tiear, but it is spoken ol on all bands as one ot the finest pro ductions ever 1 stoned to in bctiencctady. Presi dent Hickok is one of the foremost thinkers of our time. As a metaphysician he takes rauk by the sido ol such men as Hamilton and Mill. Uis various works upon mental aud moral science are held in the highest repute by those quail, ed to judg Intel!! gently oi such matters, wuile his "Kauonal Psycho logy" is one ot the most prolound and exhaustive treatises upon the w nolo subject ol mental phllosopuy to be found in the language. Added 10 all this, he is a man ol great practical wisdom and sagacity, ol epon and ingenuous character, an excuhout instructor, and a moat oflicieuc Coleie executive. Moreover ana what 1 ci neiuer of groat importance in so intluential a director ol young men he is lull? in sympathy with the ami-it ot tue times. Hebe-, lievoe in Iree institutions, equal rights, and human progress, lam thus particular in speaking oi Pre sident llickok, because his venerable and lamented predecessor was so widely Knoun and honored ihat the question ol who bis mantle has fallen up in is one ot interest to the intelligent pub io generally. 1 he Alumni meeting was largely attended, and. as those inoeiings usually are, veiy interesting. Jndge Ixitt, ot Iiew Vois, presided, and the annual address was deinerod by Dr. Arfttlejotin, of Brook lyn, 1'he orutor chosen tor next year is Hon. Alex ander U K ce, ot Boston, of the Cass of 1816, and lor alternate, tbe Bon. Jo' n K. 1'orter. ot Aiouuy. The main toic of interest attne alumni meeting was tho movement which bns been some time on loot to erect an Alumni Hull a bui.ding sufficiently large to luruish a suitable room lor the A muni mooting, ana a chapel for too co lego, which may be ued in stead ol the city churcnes for commencement exer cises. The Inundation of such a building was laid come time ago, but it has n-ver progressed turther than the foundation, Steps were taken to lay this matter belore the Alumni in a practical shape, and it is to be hoped that the re-ponse a ill be as generous as the object is worthy. The Alumni ot Um n Col lege are numerous enough and wealthy enough to do the bandeonie thing by their Alma Mater. Hitticio, however, they have doue almost nothing, other colleges nave had large and repeated donations irom a membership or graduates far lest r.nuierom and influential tnan that ot "0 d Union." This un pleasant singularity Bhould not lougor continue. On .Tuesday afternoon a vorv .urge audience asscmb.ed at the First Duxh Church to listen to a eulogy upon the late President Nott, by Alexander Bradford, Esq., ot New York city. The production was very Jong, and was so miserably del vered, that it tailed to give i he satisfaction winch its merits were really calculated to afford Jt is to be printed, 1 suppose, and will read better than it sounded. Many were the footsteps that during the three days ol Commencement wandered te the quiet spot in "Vale Cemetery," where tho mortal remains of that immortal man now rest. For more than sixty years he was th honored President of this College. 1'wo whole generations bad grown up and passed a ay before he left the stajre ol action, lie had graduated men, and their sous and grandsons af er them. He was a minister in the flush of early manhood when Aaron liurr, in a uuo , k lied Alex ander Hamilton. His most eloquent sermon preacued npon that memorable occssiou did more to braak down the barbarous practice of duelling in the United btates tnau any or an other causes combined, For more than halt a century President Nott was mo.-t influential in moulding the policy and history of the btate of ew Yora. He was on intimate terms with ail her public men, and was wont to bo c .in sulted bv them on ail important occasions. He is said to bare been the trusty counsellor and guide ot Kecretay reward in that earlier career oi his, so brilliant and honorable, because o wholly devo.ed to the great pnncip es of justice and human ad vancement. Ue was the father ot the common school system in Mew York. Ho had a mind ot great mvouiive powers, and was particularly influen tial in promoting the early use ot antnracite co.il, both for tlio ordinary purposes of fuel aud in the various branches of manufacturing industry. IiluS' trious man I Ue was a line example of the splendid possibilities which American institutions hold out to tiient and genius, however humbl j tueir origin, or limited their early resources. 1 have lelt mvself no great space for speaking of the firauuating class ou Weduosuav. 1 will not particu arize, but will content mysea by saviug ttimthe character of those exercises, as to "speaking and writing, has greatly improved during the last lew year. The elocution of the young men wu re markably fine, and the thought was marked by a ma urtty aud conden atiou unusual on suon occa sions. Another thing worthy of remark was tin hiih tone of all tbe speeches. They were full ot generous sympathy and enthusiasm, abreast with the tendencies ot the times, and thoroughly imbued with liberal and progressive ideas. Corrupt ana counterfeit "conbcrvatium" had no representatives anting those young men just steppinv upon the arena of active life May thuyalavs remain true to tholr present exalted and generous ideals I It is a custom at Union lor the vamus o'asses to ' assemble npon each tenth anniversary of their gradu ation. The Classes thus brought together on tbis oo-. casion were those oi 1866, 1840, 1830, 1820, and 1810. 1 do not know how well the other classes obeyed tho summons, but the class of '66, to which the writer belongs, turned out in considerable strength, oome thirteen or lourteeu metnbors being present. It was Jound that quite a number of the class had taken part In the late great war of the Rebellion. One of them, Major Weed, was kulod upon tae field ot battie. Another, and who bad come from the far West to be present with us, Lieutenant-Colonel Muenscher, bad lollowtd Sherman in bis great march to the sea, and bad lei his regiment in the splendid assault upon Fort McAllister. Others bad held various responsible Ipositions. The reunion was a delightful one, and will make a bright spot in the memories ot all who were prcout. And thus this annual feast of one of the homes of learning was over, and the guests departed. The colleges of our country are among nor noblest insti tutions. Tney are the centres of thought and intlu-, ence They mould tho men who mould tho policy' and career of the nation. The; stand at the springs of national life ard cbaraotor. Let us rejoice that their li tiuence are so generally ol a kind calculated to ennoble and bleed the young men who gather within their walls, LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.

Two hundred and ten thousand shares will be sold, and those who receive ao pure will be given a fine engraving of the opera 'house. ' V ' . , . It seems needless to particularise tbe great features o this plan. Its pnrpoe is a most laudable one, and each subscriber, through the magnitude oi tbe workings, re ceives a full equivalent for his money, besides tthe chancel ot obtaining a most valuable prise. The plan Is not a mere gilt humbug, but has the patronage ot many leading citizens and srtlsts of Chicago, Niw York, an 1 Philadelphia. In our city Mr. T. B. l'ugu, at Sixth and 'Chesnut streets, has the sgercy, and can affotd ail needed Information on tbe subject. A BOIAL ART ASSOCIATION SCHEME.

It Involves the distribution of property worth nearly a million of dollars. It Includes tho dis posal ol Crosby's Opera House, toge'her with Its superb I art gallery, and other woiks of art, to an extent limited only by the membership. Tbe price ot each share will be five dollars. The first prlre will be the palatial Opera House, worth over half a million of dollars. Ibe second, Blerstadt's unrivalled painting, "The Yosemlte Val.ey," valued at tJO.OUO. Next to this is a autiuii painting and so on in a con stantly decreasing progression. Nothing so grand waj ever belore coi.celved involving inucli provert, and ' In which the public could invest their uionev, wltn tlio same certainty that tbe transaction would be con ducted by bonorab.e men. The best men In Chicago give it a cordial endorsement. This plan does not pro pose that a iew members ot the association shall receive a lew yiitsaud tl,e great majority none.

From the New York "Dally Times" This enterprise for the relict' ot Sir Crosby from the difficulties to which he had rendered himself llaole by building the Chicago Opera douse, has at length taken tangible form, and comes vividly belore the readers ot our columns as we presume it does bctore those o; every other Journal in New York. It bears wLh It tne Indoise nicnt of tbe leading eittzens of Chicago, and what is almost of as mm-h Importance, the Indorsement of tbe principal artists oi the tbree great Eastern ulties Of course, the lndorsemen oi bis prlncl'ia. leliow-oltlzei.s mav be aocepted as a guarantee ot Ui good faith in tne enterprise while that of tue piiintcis mav be received s tes.lmony that he Is dotu great good to art. '' 1 THE CROSBt ART ASSO JIATION". From the New York ' World." - We call the attention of our leaders to a lengthy ao vtriisementln another column of the' World," thlj morn ing which gives In detail tbe prospectus of anew A't Association, formed by a company of prominent citizens of New York and tbe Western cities, lor the purpose of compensating Mr Crosby tor tbe loss of the magnificent fortune spent by him In his genoroub and praiseworthy attempt to establish the opera In bit native city. Ihe chunces are omv ht euch, aud the premium is ibe mag nificent Opera House Itseii, lulJ of the choicest Kerns by the greatet names in American art) the buhding costing In itselt over SSbliU OUO. We commend the object o' the association to every c'tizen who Is cau.ible or desirous ot rewaiding tbe generous aud iua..nnlceut spirit dis played by Mr. crosby in his munificent liner dity. THE CROSBY OPERA HOUSE. From the New York "Leader." . ' By an advertisement In another column It will be seen that the Crosby Opera House at Chicago, worth half a million of dollars, and producing by the rcntul of Its stores, offices, and studios a large Interest upon that sum, is to be put up as a prlncoly prize lor the holder of the lucky ticket. Besides all this, other prizes, hardly less attractive, are offered In splendid oil paintings bv such artists as Bicrstadt, Church, Schussele, Bart, Kennett, E. Mora a, and othets. The price of a ticket Is only five Uoliais and with eauli ticket the purchase: receives un engraviug worth more than five uollarx at our retail stores.
