thors, without one exception, in the or

LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE.


Ger. %, 1872.
Mr.. EDITOR The managers of
the late Fair and Festival held at
this place for the benefit of the St
Michml's Church, of Frostburg in con-
sideration of the friendly and valua-
bic assistance so freely given by
Mr.. WILLIAM WoNN and his family
during the progress of the fair, there
by adding much to the complete sue
cess which crowned their efforts, re-
solved to present him slight token of
their appreciation.
In accordance with their previous
arrangement, the managers met at the
residence of Mr.. WILLIAM MCMILLAN
on Friday evening, the 18th, to COM
plete their arrangements: then, in a
body, accompanied by the Eckhart
String Band, which had been invited
to enliven the occasion with music,
proceeded to the residence of Mr..
WoNN. They were met at the door
by that gentleman. He was surprised
much but cordially invited them into
the house After an Interchange Of
friendly greetings and order having
become restored, Mr. WILLIAM
KIRBY, of the firm of NELSON, KIRBY
& Co., of Frostburg, arose and, con.
fronting Mr. WoNN, in a clear voice
spoke as follows:
Mr. WoNN No doubt the presence
of this company has occasoned a con-
lecture in Your mind as to what NAV
be the cause of it. The honor has
been conferred upon Inc to explain
why We are here.
During the late Fair held at this
place for the Benefit of the st. Mich
ael's church, we were much gratifod
to receive your support and encour
agement. You also labored with
seemingly untiring exertions not
only yourself Dut also your famllV.-
, Others seeing this labored more zeal
ously to make the Fair a success,
which we are happy to say was com
plete. The managers, desiring to
show their appreciation Of your
friendship and services rendered, have
procured as a slight testimonial of
their regard this Cane which | now,
in behalf of these persons, present to
you. Its intrinsic value conveys but
Il very small idea in comparison to
the estimation in which we regard
your friendship and aid toward US
Accept it, Mr.. WoNN, in the spirit
with which it is rendered, and may it
aid you to tread the path of life for
many years Of increasing prosperity,
health and happiness.
