Mr.. Livingston was this day visited
in the Governors room, in the City
Hall, by the city authorities and seve-

be in excellent health, and enjoying
his mental and bodily faculties in a
much higher state of perfection than
generally falls TO the lot Of men at such
an advanced age. He is now on the
eve Of his 18th year, but in appearance

Guickness and vivaci,y, and retains all
the elasticity OF muscle that nigh, be

in the room and received the hearty
greetings OF the visiters.
