Tbb First or tbb Season. We notice
in front of tbe Petroleum Exchange Res
taurant to-day, some of tbe finest specimens
of venison tbatjwe bave ever seen. What
w saw is not only a " specimen," but in
cludes a sufficiency for a multitude of peo
pie, all of whom may leave thejr orders,
and bave as fine a piece of venison steak set
before them as It wai ever their good for
tune to taste of, savored as Is every dish
gotten up at this place, with every ac
companying uavor. its nuge, delicious,
beautiful. Messrs. Soutberland Jk Taylor
save aiso on oaau a iresn supply ot wild
came, quail, squirrel, duck and SDlendid
turtle steak. Tbe proprietors are alive to
jiQtt wan's oi their customers.
YoOno Men's Fasbioxb. Tbe New York
correspondent of tbe Philadelphia Tele
graph, writes: Some sweet fashions for
young men are out. One of these Is the
low-necked shirt, so low, indeed, that the
shoulder blades are all but visible, and the
Adam's apple is fully revealed, nestling in
virgin purity amid a nook of linen. The
masculine throat baa been too long con
cealed, and, among expressions oi feminine
admiration, we may expect this autumn
to bear in addition to "What handsome
teeth Mr. So-and-so baa got," tbe corres
ponding remark, "Yes, my dear, and what
a dalioious neck!" Shirt fronts, too, are
elaborately embroidered, and lined with
rose colored silk. A jeweler's masculine
bracelets, inscribed with memorial names
and dates, are displayed, and even hand
kerchief fings for lull dress occasions. Add
to these tbe Fra Diavolo bat, with pea
cock's plume, ebecked vest patterns of all
possible shades in combination, and pat
terns for trousers, consisting of small
squares rainbow in hue, underlying larger
ones. Add to these again buttons of pearl,
amethyst, and carbuncle, and it will easily
be understood that tbe male belle is just as
"finnibky" as the female one about per
sonal adornment. I say nothing of mascu
line powders and cosmetics, because this is
a tbeine or which nothing is supposed to be
known; but 1 simply put tbe question
whether tbe creature who sports Bracelets,
and wears a low-necked shirt for the pur
pose of displnytng a snowy bo , that is
throat, is not equally susceptible to tbe
blandishments dormant in rouge vtntgrt and
oxide of bismuth.
New Billiard Hall. Messrs. Brad-
street & Sherwood, pioprletors of tbe Roch
ester House, bave purchased the billiard
tables In tbe room formerly occupied by A.
O. Farnbam, and bave been at work for
some days past refitting and arranging the
room preparatory to opening a first class
billiard parlor. Tbe room will be open to
morrow te tbe public.
A Beautiful mouunaent.
We bad tbe pleasure of visiting Glenweod
Cemetery, in tbe city ol Lockport, a abort

the many fine monuments which bave been
erected since tbe new enclosure was dedica
ted, one, which lor magnitude, both in
beiBbtb. breadth and massive proportions,
Hands pre-eminent, and is the ricbent and
most elegant or an. i ne case is oi l,ock-
port Limestone; it is accurately chiseled,
and weighs eleven tons. Tbe column, ris
ing above. Is nearly square, with tasteful
ornaments of various designs. It is of
American-Italian marble, and has a beauty
of proportion and graduation of shades wbicb
we bave never seen surpassed. Tbe snmrait
is surmounted with marble, foliated in tbe
fo.m of a cross. Tbe monument is 35 feet
blab, and stands near that of the late Gov
ernor Hunt. Tbe plot contains 6.C0O feet,
superficial measure, with handsome grading
and warns of pleasant curve. At eacn oi
tbe four corners are hewn stone posts bear
ing tbe name of "Hodge," tbe man whose
enterprise and wealth caused tbe erection of
mis appropriate family monument. rno en
tire cost ol tbe plot of ground and monumeut
borders upon six tnousand dollars. Mr,

Oil Firb on Bull Run. About five

Straight's refinery, Bull Run, containing
one hundred and seventy-five barrel! of oil

instantaneously, and burned furiously for
two hours. About twenty-five barrels
tbe oil was run under a dam and afterward
dipped up. Tbe loss will not fall short

A Saturday nlgbt special from Nashville
saya : " Andrew Johnson did not go to
Franklin to-day, after all, and tbe knowing
ones bave it that he was to busy election'
eering in Nashville to risk going out of
town. He was on tbe street and around the
hotels, during tbe day, and tbe general re
port is that be was working briskly for the
main cbance. Tbe opposition are straining
every nerve to beat bim, and ever and auon
tbe rumor gets out tbat Andy can not pos
sibly bo elected. Johnson's friends, bow
ever, are confident, and thus tbe matter
rests."
Since tbe organizatlen of tbe order of
Odd Fellows In tbis country, in 1830, up to
and including 1869. tbe amount of revenue
received by tbe order has been $31,324,014-
43. Tbe reoerpts from 1860 to 1869
amounted to $13,111,133 an increase over
tbe preceding ten years cf but $150,000.
Tbe amount of relief afforded, as appears by
tbe records of tbe order, from 1830 to 1869,
was $14,775,030 42; and tbe number or
members initiated 660,259. Tbe ten years
between and including 1850 and 1859 were
tbe most prosperous the order has ever
koown in tbis country.
The National Capital Convention, soon
to be held at St. Louis, will be made np of
gubernatorial - appointed delegates from
Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Nevada, Oregon,
Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Nebraska. There will also
be district delegatea from portions of In
diana, and, possibly, a few of tbe other
States. Tbe voice which the convention
utters, however, will bardly claim to be
"tbe voice of tbe nation."
The will of Madam Jutnel. who married
Aaron Burr in bis old age, Is up before the
New York Supremo Court, on a report of
tbe testimony which tbe Commlissoner bas
been two years taking. Tbe property left
by Madame Jumel is estimated at $1,500,-
000, of wblch a Mr. Chase, one of her rela
tives, is now in full enjoyment. Ooe Cbara
plain Bowen claims to be a cousin of tbe
ady, and demands a share of tbe property.
His right depends on establishing tbe legit
macy of the testatrix.
Tbe Herald states there are rumors in
Washington of a decided Senatorial opposi
tion to confirming "Robeson as Secretary of
tbe Navy. It Is held that Pennsylvania
deserves a place In the Cabinet, and New
Jersey does not. Senator Drake, of Mis
souri, who aspires to the Chairmanship of
tbe Committee on Naval Affairs, is person
ally opposed to Porter, and as a consequence
to Robeson.
A cautious itemlzor tells what is the mat
ter with a noted lady in tbe following terms:
"Tbe Princess de Motternlch is to retire
from society for a little while, and is buying
lots of edgings, muslins, and so on, which
she is making up into little garments too
large for a doll and too small for herself."
Agntha States, the prima duuua, bas ob
tained an Injunction against tbe bold sailor,
her husband, restraining bim from following
ber into tbe New York Academy of Mnsio
and tberein boating ber. Tbo court rules
tbat it is a States' right to be "let alone."
