GEN. GRANT.-This, our great commander,
of whom the country is justly proud has been
making hasty visit to New England. He
passed through Springfield, Mass, last Satur-
day, where he made short stay and was re-
ceived and treated with the utmost cordially
and respect. On his way thence TO Boston he
was met at several stations by crowds of people
who wished to see and greet the man whom all
delight to honor. At Boston he was welcomed
by the authorities of the city, the Governor Of
the State and others, and shown every atten-
ton and honor which that city is so ready TO
bestow on distinguished men. He visited
Charlestown and was shown what was most
worthy Of being seen in that city, and on Tues
day had a reception at Faneuil Hall, ''the Cra-
die of Liberty" which was thronged by men
and women eager to give him the cordial right
hand. On Sunday he attended church at the
Old South, and listened to discourse from
Rev. Mr.. Manning, the junior pastor of that
church. From Boston he proceeded to the
State of Maine, intending TO visit some of its
towns and cities. We are glad he is making
this visit. 1t will do the people good to see
him, and it will do him good to see the people,
and receive their hearty greetings.

sination for he expected it. The Shenandoah

of the captured whalemen joined her.
The whole amount of the 7-30 bonds dis
posed of within single year. in the home mar
ket exclusively, and at par, was $3.50, 100000,
which was divided as follows: The first series
of $500 100000, bearing date of August 10,
1864, and row quoted at par and interest; the
second series, also Of $500, 100000 bearing
date of June 10, 1865, and now selling in this
market at 90 3-4 a 90 7-s, adding interest, and
the third and final series of 10000, 900, bear
ing date Of July 10, 1865, and just closed out
at par and interest. Between the LIST of Feb
ruary and the Goth of July, Mr.. Jay Cook, by
his admirable system of sub.agencies, sold
S700,000,O00 of these bonds, making daily
average of nearly $5,OOO,OO0. Never before
has there been such financial success as this,
and its success is honorable alike to Mr.. Cook,
who has so efficiently managed the sales, and
TO the people who have taken the bonds.
Gen. Saxton has within his present district
over hundred thousand negroes. He claims
that all these are now absolutely self-sustain-
ing, save those sweptin tho wake of Sherman's
march. Even the rations issued to these are
charged to them, and the thrifty negroes make
all haste TO quit leaning on the Government
lest their debt should swell TO too great pro.
portion. Most of the older settled negroes
who were originally dependent on Government
support, have already repaid the advances thus
made them, and many have besides accumula
ted what is for them a handsome competence.
A commodious chapel has just been com

YALE COLLEGE Sixty-six graduates Of Yale have
died the past year, among them the venerable Dan.
Huntington of Hadey, Mass. Of the class of 1894, and
Daniel Waldo, of the class of 1888 At the alumni
meeting on Wednesday, Hon. William NJ, Evarts OF

Rev. Horace Bushnell, Ii. D., of Hartford, was the
orator of the day. who delivered an eloquent com
memorative address, in the course of which he said
that the work of reconstruction must be well done
that the sacrifices and devotion of the patriot alumni
shall not have been in vain. The leading traitors
must be punished, and every vestge of slavery blot
ted out. The act of emancipation must be made to
work we'll ana the lately despsed colored race be put
on the footing of men, for whom equal suffrage is @
right and duty.
The list of former students of Yale, who have served
the country during the war, includes over hun
dred names, two hundred OF whom left college to en-
ter the service. The roll of those who have given
their lives to the patriotic cause, embraces eighty
three names.

The CRors.-The crops with the exception Of ap-
pies, are looking finely in this region. The hay crop
large and the weather for getting it in has been good.
Corn never looked more promising at this season of
the year; potatoes are doing well and all kinds of
grain and garden vegetables will be abundant. The
pastures thus far have furnished rich repast for the
domestic animals, and the amount of butter and cheese
is sufficient for our wants. and sufficient we should
think to reduce the price. Thus far the season has
be en- most propitious one.
