, A large and interesting meeting of the
work Men and inhabitants of Catasatiqua, was
held on Friday evening, Jan. :30th, on the
occasion of presenting_to_SAmuEL-and JOHN
THOMAS, each with one of Tobias's full jew
eled Gold Watches, procured by the work
ingmen of Crane Works, as a testimonial of
their respect and regard.
The meeting was called to order at 8 o'
clock, Mr. Gwen Rice, was called to the
cliair, Mr. Noah Davis, appointed Sec'ry.
The Chairman stated the object of the meet
ing,'-and that Mr. JOHN WILLIAMS. had been
l'selucted by the Donors to make the presen-
Oation which he did as follows :
Mr. Samuel and John Thomas : to.
ken of i t :;:ncet trona the workingmen of the
Lehigh Crane Iron Works, to Samuel
Thomas, (same to John 'fitomas,) for the
superior skill and ability displayed . by him
in the management of the Crane Iron
mice, at Uatasauque, Pennsylvania."
"Sve'st thou a man diligent in his busi
a:,ss, he shall stand before Kings."
Such triy friends is the inscription on
eac h of th ese m ei ,;!mtoes, which the work
ingmen, attached to the LOligh Crane Iron
works, are, through toe about presenting
{'cu. They are aware, you are still young
in years, Inane of them have known you
from your childhood, and now, that you
have grown to inure mature age, and have
the management of these Furnaces in your
hands, they come forward with these testi
monials to present you. They can say
with pride, that you have both shown such
shill in the management of
. Furnaces, that
those farther advanced in years and expe
rience might well be proud 011.
The Crane Furnaces have during your
management, in an average length of time,
made more Iron,(also taking into considera
tion duality) than any other Furnaces in the
United States, at the same time, and work
with a regularity, unequalled in the history
of Furnaces.
Again, the men desire to acknowledge to
have received such treatment at your hands,

sons that the workingmen, with a will as of
one man, present you with these testimoni
als—they do not for the future ask more at
your hands than what has been received in
the past. Your respective stations are ar
duous and responsible and ofttimes require
your utmost energy and decision,. they would
not for a moment wish you to deviate from
this path of duty.
In conclusion, the workingmen of Crami

This is one of
the proudest moments of my life. Language'
fails, yes, words falter, when endeavoring
to express myself.
Wou blive presented me with a Gold
Watch, beautiful in appearance and doubt
less excellent in its operations. You say,
it is presented by the workingmen of the Le
high Crane Iron Works. Now, Gentle
men of the comvittee, accept my thanks,
and please convey the same to the working
men at this establishment, and assure them,
that though it is uttered in feeble language,
it comes from a sincere heart. Please also
assure them, that this token of their respect
will be highly esteemed to the end of my
life. I appreciate it the more, as it comes
from those who have had every opportunity
of knowing my capacity, deportment, and
disposition. The majority of you are my
senior in years, who well knew the in my
boyhood and acquainted with my boyish
experience, and have seen my growth in
years, with the growth of these works.—

save for sickness and old age. And above
all, 1 am proud to say. that they are not in
the habit of visiting Grogshops and other
IoW places as spendthrifts do.
You are aware, gentlemen, that in con
ducting the business of any works, there
will of necessity, arise an honest difference
of opinion upon matters between the em
ployer and the employed, though in real
interest, they sail together in the same boat,
in reality the interest_of ono is the interest
of the other. lam happy to say that this
difference of opinion, has never to any ex
tent manifested itself at these works. And
I would ask, why ! the answer is at hand,
because the employer and theq!mployed arc
always anxious to do as far as their judge
ment went, what was perfectly just and
kind towards each other. Gentlemen let
us all cultivate this principle of right on
both sides ; as long as we do this, though
some honest difference of opinion may ex
ist, that difference will soon give way to a
harmony of action to the good of all. This,
gentlemen shall be my taint. Your good
and advancement, in Consistence with prop
or regard to the interest of my employers,
which line of conduct, I intend to pursue
without wavering, to improper partially on
either Side: You say, I tun ready to im
part proper infOrmation when asked for. I
have been taUght by a venerable father and
and a hind and tender . mother, to be cour
teous to all, everywhere, and in every sta
tion of life. You desire ine not to forget
the working men of Crane Iron Works of
this present period. Never gentlemen. so
long as my senses do not foil me, will I for.
get them ; but as I behold the minute. hour,
and diurnal revolutions indicated on the face
of this watch, my heart will revolve with
emotion, in reviving the transactions of this
night; and when 1 am called to a final ac
count, I will leave this memento to poster
ity, to show them your regards for me. I
will close by wishing, all assembled here
this night, all the prosperity and happiness
for you and your families, that this world
can bestow ; and let us look to the great
rule the universe for guidance through
sstuous world. Again gentlemen,
the thanks of a sincere heart.
11 . 1 r. Jolts THOMAS, replied as follows:
11r. John Williams of the committee, and
my dear friends :
It is a happy moment in a
man's life, when he is called upon on an oc
casion like the present, to return thanks to
a kind and grateful people for a testimonial
of their esteem.
The position in which I am placed this
evening, is to me a very gratifying one,
from the fact that you,in presenting, me with
this elegant watch, have shown, that you
regard me as deserving of your love and
respect. Many of you have known the
from my childhood, and I will never forget
the many kindnesses I experienced at your
hands, during that, period of my life.—
When in my school-boy days, and on that
account necessarily absent from home for
short periods of dine, I well remember, with
what kind and heartfelt welcomes you ever
greeted my return. Such kindness, shown
to a child are never forgotten, they make
so deep an impression on an youth fu I heart,
that a long life of care and toil cannot erase.
I have undoubtedly been guilty of many of
the indiscretions and follies incident to youth,
but you with n parental kindness have over
looked all these faults, and now when I
have arrived at more mature age, you come
forward in the goodness of your hearts and
prsent me with this beautiful memento.
It isdoubly acceptable, from the fact, diet
it. is not the result of any national party or
sectarian feeling, many of. you are of the
warm hearted and jovial sons of old Erin ;
some hail from Scotland, others from Eng
land, and others again, who like myself re
cognize old Cambria as their mother coon.
try. Some of you are from gay and sunny
France, some from Germany, and there are
some among you, who can proudly call
themselves the sons of Columbia, and with
justice hail their native land as the "Land
of the free and the home of the brave:"
In presenting me with this beautiful
watch, you present me with a-fit and appro
priate emblem of the flight of time, the mu'.
tability of all things here, and one, that for
cibly reminds us of the changes that are
continually taking place around us. It
seems but as yesterday, that I was a child
among you and looked up to many of you
as a child would look to its parent, many
who were with us then, are now no more.
In the few .short years that have elapsed,
since these wet ks wore - established, many
who are here assembled have been,called to
mourn the death anent' and dear relations
and friends, others haVe been culled upon
to bid farewell to kind rind much loved
friends, who have separated from us and
settled'in various parts of this vast conti
nent ; many who were then in the summer
of life, now show by their furrowed cheeks
and silvered locks, that they are in their
autumn and are slowly yet surely approach
ing their winter. We, who were then chil
dren, have now arrived at more mature ago
and have just taken our stand on 'the plat
form of life,
NUMBE R 21.
May God give us strength to face allthe
dancers and difficulties, which we may en
, counter with the skill and courage of those
who have gone before us, and in future
wirS, if God spares my life, when my head
becomes heavy and silvered o'er with age,
how often when I look at this beautiful me-
Monte, will my thoughts wont back with
pleasure to the happy time, I received it at
the hands of the kind and grateful work•
ing men of Lehigh Crane Iron Work. To
say I feel proud of this expression of your
kindness, would but partly express my feel
ings ; were Ito attempt it, my tongue would
fail in giving expression to the sentiment of
gratitude, my heart is fain to utter.
You have complimented me on skill and
ability with which I have assisted in super
intending these works ; much is due to the
teachings of a kind and indulgent Father,
who for many years has toiled and ctrug
gled with.the tbillculties of life, that we, his
children might profit by his experience,
much is due to you also, for the willingness,
and alacrity. you have ever displayed in
performing those duties entailed upon you.
You have also complimented me on the kind
disposition I have ever manifested towards ,
you. Thanks be to a fond mother who has
ever impressed upon me the necessity of
displaying a kind and COUrtIOUS demeanor
towards all, with whom I may be brought in
contact, and while I at all times feel it in
cumbent upon me to treat you rill kindly and
affectionately, yet dillerences of opinion will
in establishments of this kind, occasionally
arise between the employers and those em
ployed. In such instances I feel it impera
tive upon me, from the responsible situa
tion in which I am placed, as well as the
confidence reposed in me by the very hon
amble 2entlemen who compose the Lehigh
Crane Iron Company, to removed these .dif
fereaces, as far as compatible with
.the in
terests.of the company and sterling integri
ty in the discharge of try duty. I have, at all
times endeavored to act justly and impartially
if I have wronged any person, it has been
au error of the head and not of the heart
and that God may bless you all and grant .
you long life, health, and prosperity in every
situation of life in which yeti May be placed;
is my humble and sincere prayer.
On motion it was
Rese/ved.—That the proceedings of this
meeting and the Addresses be published in

Severals years ago, when one ofour pres

by himself. Court weeks ho used to occu
py a bedroom at Colonel Lewis's who kept
the principle hotel at the county seat. Ho
had his indictments—and in important ea !
see he used to direct the sheriff to bring up
the people's witnesses for preliminary ex
amination.
It happened at one court that ho hod an
important murder case coming on. The
celebrated Gen. (now Judge) Nye, was
counsel for defendant. Ho examined the,
witnesses as usual, and took careful min
utes 01 What they would state on the stand.
He found that a lady was the most imponr,
tart witness for the people, and ho also
discovered that she was rather exciteablo
and high strung, end a fast talker.
Apprehensive of trouble he thought he'd,
caution her a little. So he told her when
she came on to the stand not to talk, "Pay

And when Nye comes to examine,. yen .
must be very careful and not get excited,
for he's a great blackguard and will, try to.
get you mad. Just pay attention to hie :
questions and ansWer them,no matter how,
apparently silly, but don't allow hint to get
you off your balance."

her evidence, on the part of the people
to his perfect admiration, and handed her

"I won't answer any more of your con
temptible questions ; you are a nasty, dirty ,
blackguard, and the District Attorney told
mo so !"
After the laugh partlall,y subsided, Nye
says—
""What, the District Attorney told you
so !" When and where•dld he tell you to 1"

may be readily imagined. In the midst of
