Some interesting iacts in regard to
the first fIag OF tho United States are
given in Hdrpcr's Magazine for July:
"The construction Of the first nation.
nj standard Of the United States, Us n
design, from which the Stars and
Stripes was aiterward adopted, took
place under the personal direction OF
General Washington, aided by q com.
mittee Of Congress authorized to de.
sign suitable flag for tho nation, at
Philadelphia, June, l777.
"This took place ut the residence Of
Mrs. Ross, 4 relative Of Colonel Ross,
in Arch street, between Second and
Third, where General Washington and
tho committee completed the design,
and employed Mrs. Ross to execute the
work. The house is still standing mo.
230). Mrs. Ross was afterward Mrs.
Claypoole. Her maiden name WIS
Griscom, and, according TO the fashion
OF the times, she was called Betsy.
"Betsy Griscom had, before the Rev
olution, acquired some knowledge Of
the 'upholier' trade, rs it was then
cAlled-an occupation synonymous with
that OF the modern upholsterer-aud ut
the time was carrying on business on
her own account in her little shop. One
day, probably between the 23d Of May
and the It'll Of June, 1777, during which
period Washington was in Philadelphia,
there came to her the cOmmander.in-
chief, the Hon. George Ross, and other
gentlemen, members Of Congress, who
desired to know whether she could make
them flag according to n design which
they would produce. She intimitated
her willingness TO try. The design was
for flag OF thirteen red and white
stripes, alternate, with union, blue in
the field, spangled with thirteen six.
pointed stars. Mrs. Ross expressed her
willingness to make tho fling, but sug.
gested that tho stars would DO more
symmetrical and pleasing to the eye il
made with 1--WE points, and she showed
them how such star could BIO made,
by folding sheet of paper mud produce
ing tho pattern by single cut. Her
plan was approved, and she at once pro.
ceeded TO mike the flag, which was
finished the next day. Mrs. Ross was
given the position OF manufacturer OF
flags for the government, and for some
years sho was engaged in that occupa.
ton. Tho business descended to her
children, and was carried on by her
daughter, ClariSSa Clnypool, who vol

The Growing Crops.

Tho late intelligence concerning the
crops is encouraging. Our exchanges,
ON The whole, are iubilant. In Wiscon-

wheat is nearly all bladed out, and with
favorable weather the 10th OF July will

yield to the acre is expected to equal SO
bushels. Reports from Texas complain
Of excessive rains, but in Collin and
Dallas counties harvesting has COM
