For now nearly the eighth. part • of a 'century the Local Editor of our contemporary, the New gra, has from time to time been favor- ing the readers of that paper with some of the outcomes. of his poetic genuis, muoh to their delight and sat- isfaction. He may at times have been somewhat discouraged .because of the tardy recognition a his abilities In the poetical line, but time, which so se- Verely sifts all men, has at last brought justice to him. A few clayshge_some of his young lady admirers believing that a more substantial recognition ought to be made for his labors on be- half of mankind, and that in some way his local reputation as a poet extended, waited upon that gentleman, who was at the time, we understand, in the act of inditing e, burning poetic pliillipic againsi the cow nuisance, and presented him with a•maguilieent leather. medal, engraved in the most splendid and uniqu,e manner..
