could not vote for him but, owing him debt
of grateful obligation, they desired some suit
able means to testify it. With this view they
caused to be purchased handsome service Of
silver, and commissioned their other halves to
present it in their names. Thus was the edi-

for he was the very last to be informed of the
complimentary intent.

form and fnish consists of pitcher, COB
