of Seventh street and Pennsylvania avenue,
was voluntary gin from Mr. Chas. Pierce
to the committee having the inaugural cere-
monies In charge. In his letter to the COM

and his exhibition contributed over twelve
thousand dollars to the relief of the suffer
Ing soldiers and sailors. ask your accept
ance of him to be disposed of In any manner
you may deem proper. He will be delivered
In Washington free of expense. His exhibit
tion would, no doubt, crafty many who
have not had the opportunity OF seeing him,
and the proceeds might be appropriated to
some charitable object TO be named by YOU"
By reference to the following extract from
the letter Of Hon. Thomas l.. Tullock, ac-
knowledglng the receipt of the OK In this
city, 1t will be seen that the animal Is re-
served for better fate than to be roasted and
eaten on the 4th Of March:

the 4th of March next, at which time 1t will
be presented to the distinguished chieftain
whose name 1t bears, and sent by him TO his
