Presentation.
We noticed last week briefly the pres
emit made TO Mr.. w. T.. Anderson, lately
of this city. The Phillpsburg Democrat
Of last Thursday gives the following in
teresting and full particulars of the affair ::
On Saturday last, w. l.. Anderson,
Esq. of Belvidere, Superintendent of the
Lehigh and Hudson River Railroad, was
made the subject of novel surprise
visit, which turned out to be most pleas
ant affair, 1t was not a surprise of the
hash basket variety, which usually
carries away larger quantity than it
brings of "good things The time Sc
lected was during the absence of Mr.. An
derson and his wife. The visitors were a
committee of officials of the Belvidere
Division Railroad, consisting of Messrs.
A. G. Davis, Train Master r. Mcdowell,
Master Mechanic; r. P. Showden, As
sistant Engineer and W.. II. Wilmot, of
the Telegraph Department. These gen
tlemen represented the employees Of the
road in the presentation to MIR. Anderson
of a splendid gold watch, service of sill
yer and two sets of fine porcelain ware
suitably inscribed, as testimonial of
their appreciation of his kindly inter-
course with them during his long con-
nection with the Belvidere Division. The
project originated at the time Of his ac-
ceptance of the Superintendency of the
Lehigh and Hudson River Railroad, and
was carried through very quietly until its
successful termination on Saturday. The
contributions to the Purchases made were
wholly voluntary, but came from every
branch of the service, and embraced pref
ty nearly the entire force of the division,
every man of whom wanted TO be counted
in. The sum obtained largely exceeded
the purpose of the originators, who after
procuring a watch of most superior work
manship aud finish, found themselves
possessed of an excess service of silver,
and full dinner and tea sets of exquisite
reclaim ware. As the scheme contem-
plated the complete surprise of the re-
cipient of the testimonial, the time and
manner of its presentation required his
absence from home. The opportunity
presented itself on Saturday, when. Mr..
Anderson accompanied by his wife was
making run over the new road. 1t was
to be quiet surprise, without formality
of presentation and the customary festive
indulgence, and 1t proved success III
every particular. On his return home,
the articles arranged to catch his atten-
ton upon his entrance to the reception
room, arrested his progress and for mo-
ment served to bewilder him. The com
mittee were gone and nobody remained to
explain what his old associates had in
their hearts conceived, and by their liber-
ality procured, to testify to him of the
affectionate esteem in which he has been
held by them. 1t is perhaps well for his
reputation as man capable Of clearly
and forcibly expressing himself in all
affairs pertaining to his Office that he was
not called upon to meet the committee in
the usual chin service = of such occa-
sions, as lie would have most assuredly
proven himself, under the pressure of his
emotions, as complete an incompetent as
a "talkist" as he is the accomplished
man in the work of his profession.
The three-year old son Of Mr.. Anderson
took in the situation, and helped us to a
childish description of the probable feel
ing of his parent when he remarked to
his sisters, who had received the COM
mittee "Oh won't mamma be 'sprised
when she sees the bOoful dishes"
+ 1t was a part of the design of the
donors that there should be no newspaper
report of the affair; but we cannot allow
our rights to be interfered with by the
we'll meaning committee, and must resist
the, wishes Of the party by thus giving
them away"
Mr.. Anderson has reason to be proud of
the surprise - and the gentlemen who
contributed for it may rejoice with them
selves that they have performed deserv-
ed and highly appreciated act of fraternal
good will. sew
