AnouT the year lst5, DR.. j. V. G. Surl, Of
Boston, Mass being considered the home,is.t
man in the bited States, WAS presented by bis
admirers with large jack -kuifc, to which ira
dition assigned q long list Of homely owners,
dating back to the early days of New England.
In that year, the Doctor met tho Lieut.. General
Of tho British Provinces, w. II. SrEyrSsoS,
and, struck by his suIerior claims at once sur
rendered the valusble relic to his keepiup, In
1851, tfc Lieut.. General mot OssrkS II. DopCR
and, with eloquent speeches on both si,loa the
knife was transferred to that celcbrsted humor-
ist. Whilst giving concert, In 1859, DopaH
wss accosted ~ Mr.. j. A. FRESCH, Of Nashua,
N. H., who inqui od something In relation to q
concert to be given in that village. Stunned
for the moment by the personal appearance Of
the gentleman, DoDGK could scarcely answer
the question, but huuiedly presented the knife
with a few words Of explanation. In tho pos
session Of Mr.. FRENCH the knife has remained
until few days since, when, conceiving that he
bad grown hsndsomer than Of old, he returned
the relic TO DopoE.
Recently, CsAAN 4. was Impressed with the
wrong ho was daily committing In keeping
the relic from It's rie htfnl owner, and therefore
presented II, with due solcmnity, To CHAs. +.
BRowN, the local editor Of tho Pldinoisaier. That
gentleman was overcome with modesty, and at
tempted to surrcptitiously transfer tho valuable
testimonial TO soue other member of the Glove
land Press, but his superior claims wcro &C
by all, and tho knife remains In his

that his grievances would eceiye attention he
had thus availcd himself u tho first favorable
opportunity Of giving practical turn 90 his in

that this Deputy Attorney General, after fev
