PRESENTATION. \ Pleasant SIR
PRIsR.-On Thursday evening the Editor
OF the Burlington Free Press, while hard
at work in his sanctuTh on New Years
article, was requested to step into the
composing room. On entering. he found
all the employees gathered at one end OF
the room, while before him an imposing
stone" bore the unwonted burden of an
elegant Silver Coffee Urn.
Mr.. A. l.. Papineau, Foreman OF the
Job Room, made brief address, conclud-
ing with presenting Dir. Benedict, with
letter signed By each one of the en-
ployes of the Free Press office, asking his
acceptance of the gift. Mr.. i. replied in
fl ting terms in accepting the testimonial
Of friendship and regard, so handsomely
teno' cred him by those in his employ. 1t
is eve pleasing remembrance, that such
cordiai relations exist among employer
and emf ,loyes, and make bright the hours
of an oft time weary life. The recipient
of this toke n of regard, has won not only
the esteem o. those associated with him
in the publication of his journal, but en-.
joys in large measure, the esteem and
confidence Of his fellow citizens of Bur.
lington, and in the State at large, as a &c.
NAL heightened gentlemen, and an accom-.
