Proposed Testimonial TO General shsr-
LANCASTER. ONO De, IA

LANCASTER, OHIO, De-. IA.
EDS. GAzETTE.-It has been suggest
ed from various quarters that some
suitable testimonial should be made to
the distinguished son of Ohio, Major
General VIM. I Sherman, and thai the
movement for thatpurpose might, with
propriety, originate here in his native
city. 1t is thought the people of the
State would be glad Of an opportunity
to unite in rendering him Home
stead Farm as substantial and endu-
ring token of their appreciation of
his genius and his achievements, and
as an evidence that they desire that
his name and fame should be forever
united with his native State.
Somo steps have already been ia.
ken to this end. Tho plan proposed
is, that, as soon as il is ascertained
that an interest is generally felt in tho
undertaking, meeting shall be held
at Columbus of those who vii! bo &C
tive in it, and then and there Trustees
shall be selected to receive contribu-
tions from all wishing to unto in the
object, and invest the Fund by the pur-
chase of a suitable farm, which shall be
presented to Gen. Sherman by them
on behalf Of the contributors.
Acting as committee for those who
have originated this movement, we
submit this suggestion to you, among
others, and will be glad to have your
advice and corporation in the matter.
AS it is desirable to have the proposed
meeting soon after the 1st of January
we would be obliged by an early re-
ply.
Very respectfully your ob'dt serv't,,
