c A singular circumstance (illustrative of the strong fa:nily likeness which still exists between the English and American branches,) occurred in tlie village of Westchester a few years since. Oliver Cromwell, a resident blacksmith of that place, was accosted by a friend, who at the same moment presented hiin a likeness of the Protector ; the former (unable to read) involmitarily exclaimed as he gazed upon the portrait, " wliy there is our old blacksmith himself." For a portrait of the Protector see the Hon. John Hunter's collections of painting, Peiham ; and for ft further account of this family see genealogy.
