PREsENTATION.-Last night, committee of
the Seventh Ward Exemption Club, headed by
&. T.. Anderson, Esq, Chairman, proceeded to
the residence of John II. Semmes, Esq, their
mission being TO present TO that gentleman a
testimonial of appreciation of his valuable
vices treas of the club, and in filing the
quota of the ward.
The spokesman of the delegation, Mr.. Samuel
A. Amery, made the Offering in exceedingly
felICltOus terms expressive of their apprecia-
ton of the interest and solicitude for the well
fare OF the people OF the ward eyinced by Mr..
Semmes, and especially his invaluable services
during the late drafts. In conclusion he placed
in the hands of Mr.. ;. a very handsome and
valuable gold watch.
Mr.. Semmes responded with evident feeling,
prior TO the formation of the club to have
nothing more to do with drafts, but when
elected treasurer had felt 1t his duty to accept
in view OF the fact that the people of the Sew
enth Ward had never refused him anything he
had asked At their hands. The present occa-
sion gave HIM the gratifying assurance that he
had discharged his duty TO their satisfaction.
He begged the committee to convey to the men,
bers of the club his sincere thanks for this me-
mento, and 10 say TO them that he should cher
ish il as jewel to be preserved by himself and
family for all time to come.
In conclusion, he said that a recent affliction
In his family disqualified him from responding
In the manner he would have wished.
The watch presented TO MIR. =. is superb
English chrOnOmeter, with heavy gold chain
and pendants, costing altogether SS3I. 1t bears
the inscription, ''JOhn II. Semmes, from the
Seventh Ward Draft Exemption Club Wash
ingtOn, ID. c., rs testimonial of esteem and re-
spect- August Il, 1851
The presentation was made privately, as
above stated, in view of the recent heavy affiic-
ton IN Mr.. Semmes family, in the loss OF a
