Very Handsome Present.-When Mr. Stuart
Kearney, secretary and treasurer of the Canton

his friends to mark the end Of his bachelor
days, as he will next week join the happy army
of benedicts.
When the first moment of surprise was over
Mr.. Upton 8. Brady formally presented Mr.
Kearney to the assembled diners, and his
health was enthusiastically drunk. Then, as
course after course of an excellent menue was
enjoyed, wit and merriment flowed freely, and
Mr. Kearney took very good naturally the
chaff that was directed toward him.
At an OppOrtune moment Mr.. j. BurklOe
Brown proposed the health of the bride elect
which was drunk standing Then came the
event of the evening. Judge N. Charles Burke
was called upon and delivered neat little
speech. 1t was clearcut and polished, spark
ling with noble thought and tender sentiment
He declared that what the sun is to the world
so are love and friendship to humanity. Life,
he said would be dreary waste were 1t not
for the friends we have and love. Mr.. Kear-
ney, he said was one of those whom men de-
light to love and honor. He paid fitting
tribute to his manly qualities, and concluded
by saying: "As q token of the esteem in which
we hold you we desire to present you with this
testimonial"
Then was brought in beautiful silver
pitcher and tray.
Mr.. Kearney for the moment was quite over
come and visibly affected. II cannot begin to
thank you," he said finally. II have been
ambuscaded and ambushed, but it is plain that
l have fallen into the hands of friends"
