EAST HAMPTON, July 49, 1916.
Manners and Customs Of the Pcople-Er- President
Tyler and his Lady-Accopchmen of Mrs. Ty-
Ter, &c.
AS you have correspondents in almost every
nook and corner of the globe, perhaps you may
have heard of little isolated village,
Son old Long Islands sea grit Shore
remarkable for the romantic beauty of its stua-
ton and the primitive simplicity ofits inhabitants
You may have heard Of them as an antiquated
race, dwelling together like band Of brothers
united in religious and political faith-scarce send
ing thought beyond their native village, and
numbering their three score years and ten with
out a wish u cross IS boundary line. Their pccn-
arities, in this respect, have no doubt been exag
gerated, but il is indeed true, that they cling with
more than ordinary fondness to the manners and
customs, the homes and the burial places Of their
fathers; and amid surrounding change and limo
walton, have. for long time preserved the dis
tinctive features OF their purltanlc origin.
My present purpose, however, is not TO give n
description of East Hampton or its inhabitants.
but to inform you, aud through you the rest OF the
word, OF an important event which has lately
! transpred within its limits. You already
aware that this is the place ofthe lady of Elk
President Tyler, and that, with her honored lord,
she has been passing the last few weeks IN the
delightful home of her childhood The circum
stance, OF which It was my hint to speak, is in
connection with these two important personages
In quiet village like East Hampton, anything
out Of the ordinary course of events is calculated
to awaken curiosity; and as for several days pre-
vous to the 18th inst, the village doctor had made
more frequent calls at the residence OF the Eek
President than either courtesy friendship SEEM
ed 10 demand, many conjectures were atioat as to
what might be the object of his visits. Early on
the morning of that day, he was again seen wend-
ing his way thither, with as much alacrity was
consistent with his professional character And
if he was aware of the many enquiring chances
that were directed after him. he could not fail to
have been more than ordinarily impressed, not,
only with the "digntty of the profession" general
ly, but also Of his own individual importance in
particular
About 10 o'clock the mystery of the doctors
visit was explained, by the announcements that
Mrs. Tyler had given birth to noble boy. When
the event was known, the old church bell rang
out ioylully, lit was just church tme,) and the
smiling looks Of the villagers evinced the pleasure
las they were pleased to dub the youthful stran
ger,) and their heaI4et sympathies for Mr.. lyle,
and his lovely bride. Both mother and child are
doing well. The latter, we understand, IS to be
christened David Gardiner-after her ladysbips
iather-one of the unorunates OF the Princeton;
a more touching proof Of the reverence and afiec-
ton with which a parents memory is cherished,
than the neat monument recently erected over his
remains.
STATE CoNvESTIoS-Juy A.-1he Convention,
on assembling, went into committee ON the re-
port on the Executive Department.
The pardoning section was under discussion, the
question being on the power Of committing SEN
fences, conditional pardons, pardons for treason
be granted by the Executive, and the power Of
hardening or communication to be given to the.

ment in state prison for life. He may grant par

TONS and limitations as he may think proper

power to suspend the execution of the sentence,
until the case shall be reported to the Legislature

reprieve. He shall annually communicate to the
