. We are indebted to Mr. W. L- Akers. of
Johnstown, for the, following poem., which
was written for and published in the Elect
burg Sty, a paper priuted tu this' fla?
upwards of fjrty years ago. pWe arg unablo.
to give the date of its publication, as jtwas
copied by Mr. Akbs from a scrap book in
hia possession, into which it was pasted" with-i
cut any record beinp made of the tirn'e of its;
appearance. Jt is a production of pa little
poetic merit, and for that ae well as for its
local cliaracter we have-no doubt It' will be
appreciated b' our readers :
