The Rector Of the Episcopal church in this
city WAS the recipient OF d well-flIed purse
as u new years present from his parish
oners. He returns his thanks for the gift 30
gracefully bestowed. The money, of course,
was acceptable, but the manifestation Of
good will is more highly priced. In the
memories of life oft do the acts prompted
by affection come up. They never die.
We regret that Nj. Van AnyIen voted
Against Capt. Hiram NJ. BIedsOe for Ser
seant-at-Arms of the house OF representa-
tives. as the change of his vote from Gard
ner to BIed>oe might have resulted III the
election of the latter, MI. Gardner only being
elected by a majority Of one. We certainly
think that there was no election OF house
officers Ia which the people of Lafsy cite
county took so much interest, and that on
Capt. Bledsoe's account.
