him good bye.

to the many friends and acquaintances

they gave me on the evening of the 9th;
also for the tokens of friendship they be-
slowed upon me, which to me are more
precious than rubieS." The presenta-
ton was made by Fannie Dodge, in a neat
manner. aud would have been a credit to
any Senator. L do appreciate those gifts
from these friends; also their kindness
toward me. Shall always remember
them, wherever my lot is cast. Shall al
ways remember with pleasure the many
social gatherings of mirth and song; also
the winter of 'S5 and 'S6 among the
grand old hills of Vermont now glisten-
ing with snow and ice, and her white
robed hill-sides and valleys, and her
rivers and lakes now chained down by
letters of ice. All musical with sleigh
bells and the merry shouts of the coast
ers. In my Judgment. for pleasure and
health during the winter season, give
me old Vermont, rather than the sunny
South or the western prairies. l never
want to Danish entirely from my mind
