CommendabIe Liberality.

Mr.. s. II. SMITH, who has lately established
himself amongst us, permanently VIZ believe,
as a Silversmith and Daguerreotypist, has
presented the new Presbyterian Church with
an elegant circular clock, valued at fifty dollars
and has one of the same kind ready for the
Methodist Church, when the repairs now going
on are completed; and likewise, another similar
one to present to tile Catholic Church, when
that is finished. Such liberality and public spirit.
as this, exhibited by one who is comparatively
a stranger amongst us--and from a source that
does not evidence wealth or any great ~pecuniary
prosperity--if by no other means, should find
its reward in the breasts Of. every member Of
this community, connected or disconnected with
the religious fraternity, for it is indeed an ex.
ample Of generosity rarely extended, and such
that should ever be recorded. We will take
the liberty here, on the part Of our citizens,
(fQr we are sure there are none who would not
coincide with usO to extend to Mr.. Smith their
warmest thanks, with the hope that his life will
be heightened to an old age of peace, prosperity
and happiness, and that circumstances will
never induce him to leave the place where he
has himself reared his own monument-a monu-
ment that will live while time exists.
