MEETING OF THE PRESS ASSOCIATION.
Owing to pressure of job work we found
it impossible to attend the fourth annual
meeting of the Pennsy lvania, Ohio and West
Virginia Press Association, held at the Sew
enth Avenue Hotel, Pittsburgh on Friday
last and not having authorized any one 10
act in our stead, the Telegraph of that city
must have been mistaken when it said that
the FREEMAN was represented on said occa-
sion. Be that, however, as il may, we fully
endorse all that was done by the Associa-
tion, and especially in its renewed express
sions of confidence i'll Messrs. ". l.. Foulk,
Sons s. Co, who as agents of the Association

extended by Col. Unger, of the Seventh Ave
