WATCH PRESENTATION.
After the adjournment of court Thurs
day afternoon a little affair came of at
the court room worthy of newspaper no.
tice. The venerable crier, Mr.. J.. r.
NOBLE, who has filed the duties of that
post for over twenty years, being about
to remove from his present residence,
Niles, and probably retire from duty at
our sittings of court, the members of the
bar, together with the presiding Judge
and others who have formerly occupied
positions in the county, thought
the occasion a proper one for rendering
10 MIR. Noble some token of the esteem
IN which he is held by those who have,
for SO long g time, associated with him.
The idea took shape in the form of a
Upon the occasion referred to the Off
,ers of the court, and a large number of
he members of the bar, with others, as
'embled and were called to order by
Judge Sutlif, upon whose motion Judge
Spear was called to the chair. The pre-
'entation was then made by Hon. John
Beaver, who, in an appropriate ad-

services of Mr.. Noble, and at its
lose rendered to him, as a token of the
good will entertained for him by thosef

With hating words and a heart full of
emotion, Mr.. N. in accepting the present,
responded, returning his sincerest
hanks, and assuring his friends that
occasion would be ever remembered
IS one Of the happiest of a long life, the
compliment being all the more timely
welcome, as that day was his sixty
fifth birthday.
His Honor, Judge futile, was then
allied out, and responded feelingly and
happily. Judge Sutlif, the chairman,
Mr.. Palm, each spoke of his long
md satisfactory acquaintance with Mr.
n, Of his faithful services, and Of the
ieep regret felt by all at parting with
him, and after a brief, but hearty and
Tell-expressed exhOrtation from Bro.
stull, on motion Of Gen. Ratlif, the
Meeting adjourned. A.,
