tenden's appearance on the occasion is thus de-
scFibed BY the Cincinnati Gazette;
Mr.. Crittenden, who stood in the carriage
during the delivery Of the welcome address, was
visibly agitated. He is a much more youthful
looking person than we had imagined. He is
about seventy years Of age, but does not look like
it. His form is erect and spare, well. formed and
vigorous; his dark gray syes CLEAN wildly be-
meath heavy gray eyebrows, and are canopied by
long lashes his nose is aquilne his mouth and
all his features large, lips firmly set chin square
forehead broad, high, and massive; head long,
spendidy developed, and covered with gray-but
not white, as it has been described-hair, and

Mr.. Crittenden's responses to the welcomes he
received were Characteristic of the man, and con-

which guided him in his recent course in the SEN

Cincinnati he said;

which awards political dishonesty. All trickery
and knAvery amount to nothing. It is like burnt

and justice, and personal and national prosperity
will assuredly follow.
The effects of the little business calamity,
which have been wide spread, are rapidly passing
away, and as basis Of reflection and future ac-
tions will be useful TO both government and peo-
pie. Those who have suffered as well as those
who escaped the tornado, will alike profit by it,
We should encourage American industry and
American labor, and by that means depend unon
ourselves. (Applause.) When saw those little
boys at the factory, as passed from the depot
