most toothsome and the drinkables
guaged down to temperance principles.

flowers at once pretty and fragrant.
With such provision, environment and

of the enjoy ment by rising aud reading
the following paper:
FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF FRosTBURG Mp,
December IS, 1891.
The undersigned Directors Of this Bank de
sire hereby to attest their high appreciation
of Mr.. A. E Krlse's qualities us refined and
courteous gentleman and of his qualifications
as a trained, accurate and conscientious bank
officer and
Their unfegned regret at the loss they in
cur in his removal to another field of useful
ness, and
Their desire to commend him without re-
serve to his new business connections and
acquaintance as worthy of confidence and
patronage, and
To wish him the great success in life to
which his business attainments and talents
entitle him.
To the objects of this paper above stated
we desire to add that in the service OF this
Bank as its Cashier Mr.. Krse has been in
dustrious painstaking and faithful; that he
has diligently, carefully and constantly
guarded and promoted the welfare of the
Bank, and brought it, as we believe, to its
present high monetary condition, and that
he has shown a business intelligence and
energy which fit him for higher place in
financial administration.
We, therefore, tender him both our regret
at losing his valuable services and our con-
CALCULATIONS upon his promotion to position
he will honor and adorn.

B. Colborn, Clayton Purnell and the
JOURNAL, to which both Messrs. krise
and Porter made grateful and we'll ex-
pressed rejoinders.
The occasion was most happy one,
darkened only by the reflection that it
emphasized the loss to our social and
business circles of two of our best
young men.
The JOURNAL will conclude this
account by yielding to the special re-
quest of large majority of the as
semblage to publish a portion of its
own remarks. AS sentiment for the
occasion it chose
From the Mountain-Top to the Sea
Shore.
This, not because of the mere Typographical
transition implied, but rather because it ex-
presses with great metaphorical force the
change / believe our young friends are
making.
With you, therefore, this opportunity of
formal expression is to me one of both grief
and Joy. We sorrow because we believe we
lose, and rejoice because we are sure they
will gain. We regret that so much of social
and business excellence goes out of our COM
munity, and yet are glad that our friends are
to make newer and more profitable connec-
tons.
For | believe. Mr.. Chairman, that these
gentlemen are settling alta point destined some
day to be the worlds greatest trading me-
tropols on the Atlantic seaboard. The time
is coming-is not far distant when Norfolk
will export more Of the great staples-grain
probably excepted, than any other city on
the American coast. What place, then,
