Saturday last. was splendid affair, if we
may be allowed to anticipate the Hawkeye's
description Of it. A gentleman, an old wing
acquaintance. who saw the grand procession
as it passed through the streets, informed ms
that yonng coon, Of thin visage, pale and
wan, was perched upon an ash bush, and
borne in the procession. He looked, he says,

the wings can make 1000 out Of them. We
