borFALO, June 30, ICoO.
Mr.. Fillmore's reception was the greatest
demonstration that ever transPired in this city.
early in the morning the stores and public
buildings were lavishly decorated with flags
and banners and devices in the best taste i'm.
aginable. Maine street was perfectly cover
I'd with ornaments in the shape of aags.-
Nearly every building for seven or eight
squares was decorated. The shipping in the
harbor had bunting flying Mt their mast
heads.
Mr.. Fillmore arrived at o'clock in the after
noon, via the Falls road. The procession
formed Mt the depot, il was composed of mill
t'ry, the city firemen, the Board of Trade,
and private citizens. 1t was hnlf an hour in
passing given point. 1t paraded through the
principal streets to Niagara square, where
stand was erected. After renching the plat
form tn irleeu young ladies'. dressed in white,
came forward and each presented Mr. Fill
more with bouquet. H.W. Rogers then
delivered an address on behalf of the citi.
zens, welcoming Mr. Fillmore home. Mr..
Fillmore, replied, thanking them for the com.
pliment bestowed by his fellow citizens, with.
out party reference, and reverting to his tour
in Europe, contrasting the condition Of that
continent with this, adding he received con.
gratulations, not MS party affair, but rs
from old friends, whom he had known for
thirty years. lie closed by thanking his
friends for the cordiil manner with which
they had welcomed him home.
He then retired to his residence, escorted
by the military, and cheered by the large
crowded, but everything went of in perfect
order.

"As GOES New YoRK so GOES THE
UNIos."-lf there be any truth in the old
saying that "as goes New York City 80
goes the State" the Baltimore American
thinks Pennsylvania favorite sons chances
are very small. The Journal of Commerce
and the Sun are the only two papers of re.
spectability in the city of New York that
will support Mr.. Buchanan's nomination.
With such auguries it would seem tina; the
Cincinnati nominee may MS well give up all
hope of the Empire State; whatever he may
be able to do in the Keystone where to say
the least, hard fight awaits him.

THE SHADOWS IN THE VALLEY.

There's mossy shady valley tti fft|
Where the waters wind and flov.
And the daisies sleep in winter
'Neatha coverld Of snow:
And violets, bIue-eyed violets
Bloom in beauty 10 the spring.
And the sunbeams kiss the waveleta
Tll they seem to laugh and sing.
But In autumn, when the sunlight
Crowns the cedareovered hill,
Shadows darken in the valley,
Shadows ominons and still;
And the yellow leaves. like banners
or m Elfin host that's fed,
Ting'd with gold and royal purple.
Flntter sadly overhead.
And those shadows, gloomy shadows.
Like dim phantoms on the ground.
Stretch their dreamy length forever
On a daisy covered mound. ~.
And ] loved her, yes. ! loved her,
But the angels loved. her, too.
So she's sleeping iu the valley,
Meath the sky so bright and blua
And no slab NJ pali5 marble. 81.
Rears its white snd ehustfy head,
Telling Wanderers in he valley
or the virtues Of the dead.
But lilly is her tombstone,
And dew-drop. pure and bright,
Is the epitaph an angel wrote,
In the stiffness Of the right.
And I'm mournful. very mournful,
For my soul doth ever crave
For the fading of the shadows
From that little woodland. grave
For the memory of the loved one,
From my soul will never part:
And those shadows in the valley.
Dim the sunshine Of my heart.

"What besides Democratic does the part,
