ed, "Sir my father and my mother have
taught me from my childhood to lisp your
name with reverence and affection" The
General much affected, clasped him in his
arms, and said, go yes you are all my chill
dren."
As an instance of the kindly feelings which
prevailed on Tuesday last, it may not be I'M
worthy of remark that the Deputy Sheriffs
kept their Offices, and participated in the
hiarity of the occasion. One of them
placed upon his door the following dis |
itch -

"Sacred to freedom and to freedoms S friend"
On Tuesday, Mr.. Ebenezer Claugh, pre-
sented to General LA FAfETTE, Wal |
king Cane, on which was engraved the follow
ing inscription 3
City Of Boston, august "a, 1924.
Presented to General La Fayette, by full
blooded Yankee, as a token ofrespect for SER
vices rendered America, i'll her struggle for
independence"
! brilliant but Premature Wumnation.-
| By the steam boat United States, which left
| New Haven at o'clock and arrived here at
9, we learn that that city was brilliantly
illuminated last evening in compliment to La
Fayette, who, however, had not arrived
there, till nights candles zvere burnt ont"
and after the steam boats departure. We
are happy to learn, however, in profession
al phrase, that three guns, the appointed
signal of his arrival, were heard distinctly
on board the steam boat as she left the har
Dor.
CROPS.-A gentleman who has returned to
the city of New-York from u tour through that
state. and who has particularly visited almost cv-
cry Wheat County, and taken considerable pains
to obtain the best information respecting the
crops, states the wheat crop to have been sccur-
ed without any injury whatever. The quantity
sown, is perhaps larger than on any previous year,
and the quality this season has never been sur
passed by that OF any other year The crop Of
Oats has been got in without injury, and is also
uncommonly fine. The crops of grass west of
Albany are unusually heavy, and have been got
in in fine ORDER The appearance of the corn
crop is unfavorable from the backwardncss of the
Spring together with the wet season; it is un,l-
s,ially SMALL and it is feared that, even should
the remainder of the season be favorable, it is too
far advanced for the to fill, and the hopes of
the farmer to be realized.
: REMARKABLE EscAPE.--We seldom have
had to notice a more remarkable circum-
stance than the following extraordinary es-
cape from destruction. A daughter of Mr..
J. ID. Beaumont of Maidstone, being on a vis-
r, it at Folkestone, attempted, on Saturday
se'nnight, to conduct a young acquaintance
down the cliff by a very narrow path near
the church, were the descent is almost per-
pendcular She had not proceeded more
d than three or four steps, when her head be-
c coming giddy, she pitched forward and roll
. ed to the edge of declivity, from whence
she bounded to SMALL projection nearly SO
? feet below from this spot she rolled onward
with increasing velocity till she reached the
: foot of the cliff, fall Of nearly $50 feet, and
O here she was picked up covered with blood
q though not bone broken Mr.. Beaumont
was walking with his daughter at the top O
II the cliff, and witnessed the commencement
c of this appalling scene but his daughter dis
e appeared i'll an instant, and in an agony o
mind not to be described, he hurried by
=, circuitous path to the bottom, expecting tt
d see his child dashed to pieces, but to his un
y speakable happiness he saw her taken up a
st live by a gentleman who happened to BIZ
q near the spot, by whose kind attention she
was conveyed to place of safety, where
matical aid was Immediately procured, ane
!. although many severe bruises were occasion
ed by this frightfuI fall, yet we are happy t.
} state that the young lady is now perfect.
