Presentation.

X pleasing and interesting scene was wit
messed at the residence of +. 4. Ellis, Esq,
on east Main street, on New Years evening
Mr.. Ellis is tue leader of the Monday night
class connected with the Methodist Episco-
pal church. and has been for years past, and
90 the evening named ~ large body of the
members ot the class called to present to
him as II token of their esteem and regard
II handsome easy char. The presentation
was informal no set srre,h hes being made.
In receiving the beautiful present the re-
cipient was greatly moved. The whole thing
was genuine surprise 20 Mr. Ellis. he lIav
ing never dreamed OF such 4 thing. The
chair is a large, handsome and omfortable
one, covered with reps and tufted. Such ex-
pres>ions OF estsem are very pleasing, and
in their effect of great benefit to both doners
and recipient, binding them still closer in
the bond of friendship, not in view of the
intrinsic valne of the article presented, but
because thereby a clear idea OF the feelings
OF friendship and love of the one to the other
is conveyed. Would that there were more
of such expressions of generous aud kindly
feeling: the world would not he half AZ bad
as it is.

upon the ground, evidently upon the spot
where the fowl fell when shoE by the
poachers. The latter had disappeared! and
so our farmer friend had TO return home

Elkton during the Christmas holidays, hav-

The Race TODAY.

Probably the topic most generally
discussed in the city yesterday was the
race appointed this afternoon between
Steriff' j. NJ. Browns brown mare
Jennie Oliver and Johnnie Peters
sorrel Bob, for 81 900 Il side.
Mr. Brown is the well known Sheriff
of Lee county and very clever gem
tlenan. Jennie Oliver is about eight
years old sired by Billy Boy by shiloh,
dam Price Anna, grand dam, Little
Bueen. and has no record. Peters
sorrel Bob has never been beaten but
has no record in the common accepta-
ton of the word. The race takes
place in the pasture across the Trim
ity back of the courthouse at 4 o'clock.
Jennie Oliver being taller than Bob II
is agreed that the mare shall have
twenty pounds for every inch she =
taller than Bob. Jennie's rider with
saddle will weigh 125 pounds. Betting
was quite Lively last night but no odds
was offered on either horse.
