AN INTERESTING RELIC.
A Cabinet which WaS Presented Il
MANhIngLOn BY Webster.

''s---eNN-- ~ 'NNH'uAN
STAUNToN, Va, April lS.-An old wal.
nut cabinet, Of antique style, has been
discovered In the store Of second. hand
furniture dealer in this place. In moving
the desk, his eyes fell upon an inscription
which read as follows: ITO George
Washington, by D. Webster, iny ear l777."
And In another place: aye desk was pre-.
sented to George Washington In ya year
Of Ye Lord 1777, by D. Weh,er." The
inscription is quite distinct, except the
"D" preceding Webater. The cabinet
was bought recently at sale ot the effects
Of the widow OF the late Samuel Clark, q
former Mayor Of stauntOn. 1t Ia
about three feet long and QUO foot deep,
and stands on four slender, crooked
legs. A drawer runs the whole length
OF the cabinet at the top, and there are
smaller shallow ones beneath this with
old.iashioned brass handles. 1t has been
asCertalned that Samuel CLARK married a
daughter OF Sampson Mathews, who kept
the first tavern In StRuntNn, which was a
rendezvous for Continental soldiers. Gen.
Mathews, q brother OF the tayern.keeper,
was a friend Of General Washington, and
was Governor OF Georgia after the war,
The old desk evidently passed from Gen,
Washington into the hands oil Governor
Mathews, and so into his brothers. family
Its identity is much strengthened by the
strong resemblance between The insCrip'
ton upon It and the handwriting oi

up and compared with II. The Historical
Society Of Virginia will purchase the Cabi
