When the letter was read, Mr.. Herwig
attempted reply. but his emotion pre-.
vented utterance. He felt-he must have
feIt-that he deserved the good will Of his
official subordinates, for his daily official
intercourse had always been ruled by his
generous nature and CHEEKY temper, and
nothing, therefore, could be more pleasant
than his relations with all who were sub
ject to his official control: but that this
friendly feeling should take this emphatic
torn, was altogether unexpected. 1t was
a genuine surprise. The emotion 0. the
superintendent was contagious: speaking
was out the question. After a tew mo-
ments deep silence, tie visitors, each with
a feryent shake OF the hand. one ~ one
departed.
The testimonial thus offered and ace pied
in the spirit of genuine friendship, consisted
of a service OF silver plate and heavy sig
net ring Of gold, eighteen carats ',ue. The
setting of the ring is large jasper (which
is of the finest species of onyx. containing
a splendid cameo cut in the highest style Of
the antique. On the inner side OF the ring
Is engraved the words. Joseph l.. Nerwig.
Esq. from his friends
The service of plate consists Of four beau
tiful silver pieces. all of novel style. y waiter
of unique shape. being oval at one end and
square at the other. ornamented with TWEEN
~ emblems. spiendidly designed. The ac-
companying pieces are silver pitcher.
tastetully ornamented with sylvan EN-.
blems. an ice bucket and goblet. worthy
companions of the pitcher. The whole four
pieces are Of silver frosted on the service.
Both the ring and the service Of plate were
designed by Mr. Edward LilieEthal, of No.
% Canal street. well known for hi, superior
taste and ski. in jewe.rv, and this matter
certainly does credit to his splendid estab-
iiehment.
1t need hardly be added that M. J. L.
Herwg leaves the position he has so elii-
