A number of gentlemen met at the resi-
aence of Gen j. n. Conger last evening,
to present to himself and wife an elegant
testimonial commemorative of the 25th
anniversary Of their marriage. Mr.. Con
ger has for the last four years occupied the
position of Genl Freight Agent of the Il.
R. |. & St L, r. r., and this testimonial
shows that he is not only popular with
the patrons of the road but that he
is also appreciated by the officers, agents,
and employees of the company, who in this
substantial manner show the high esteem
in which he is held by his associates.
The presents consisted of most beauti,
full clock and side pieces, also an elegant
silver tea service; the former purchased
at ST. Louis, and the latter of Mr.. Baker,
of this city.-the whole costing some three
hundred and fifty dollars.
Mr.. Alexander, station agent at Alex
andria, on behalf of himself and the other
friends along the road, made the presen-
tation, and in a few briet but well chosen
words expressed the pleasure it gave him
and those he represented to show their
appreciation of the officer and the man
Mr. Conger was so taken by surprise that
he was unable to make any heightened re

dent that he felt grateful for this mark
of esteem from his associates Mrs. Conger
