comfortable quarters the private residence oil Jo-
seph Warren Tompkns, gentleman oil some
amiabe qualities bur who, at the same time is un.
like his great namesake OF Bunker Hill notoflety,
as under circumstances requiring the exercise ci
courage, he is very unfortunate as 10 lose MS

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, our village
presented scene of unusual animation Mes.if
Tompkins and Purdy had arrived from Sing slug
with band OF music, the darkies began TO flock Ia
from g the hills, with the axious inquiries alter ihe
" Gubbernor," the military, and the gentle men on
horseback began to collect at the place oil rendez
vous near Tompkins' offce-the music pealed forth
its.stirrng notes, the cannon sounded, and every
thing seemed TO ADJ 10 tne lntSies' anu eAc"oNei
OF the occasion
The Westminster County Guards, under Captain
| 5. G.. TompkIns, with the band. commenced tn
| line Of march, followed by about thirty OF our CT
| Zens on horseback, whose object was 10 meet thr
| Governor in the town OF Greenburgh and escort
| him TO this village. And, Mr.. Editor, had l the
| pen Of an Irving, or the pencil OF Crukshank,
| could convey TO your mind some idea oil the ap-
pearance OF the cavalcade but as have not, all
nv SMILES and attempts at deneatIon must neces
| sary prove abortlve. Neither the gallant Hud-
bras, when mounted and equipped Tor his

ceiying the frst and last farmer Governor OF the
| Empire state
Among those on horse back, noticed ~ II. s 3,
with his iron pray and il can be truly said of HIM

| "Abetter cavalier ne'er mounted horse,
| And being mounted, pe'er got down again"

| That Cesar's horse, Who as fame goes,
| Had corns upon his feet and toes,
| Was not by hall tender hoold,
| Nor trod upon the ground so soft
| And as that beast would kDeel and aoop

| So Nicholss' Qt is well knowD)
| Would often do 10 set him down"
