Brought home Nice Work

William J Wetherill, who at the age of sixteen years has just returned home from 
the soldiers Orphans' School at Scotland, Pa has brought with him some pretty 
specimens of woodwork which he made while in the shop there. For his mother, Mrs. 
Joseph F Parker, he brought a pretty workbox nicely inlaid and he has also a couple 
of stools, a drinking cup and other pieces done with the lathe and by hand. William 
was one of six boys who worked on the famous coat of Arms of Pennsylvania which was 
carved by them and is photographed and reproduced in the State Report. He has not 
yet decided where he will live.
