A GRAND CHRISTENING.-011 'Sunday, a grandchild of
Mr. W. Wells, farmer, of this parish, was christened by the
Rev. H. Mitchell, and at the ceremony were no less than
five generations, viz.,— one great great grandmother, one
great grandmother, three grandmothers, and the ntother of
the infant. Also one great grandfather, two mrandfathers,
and the father. The babe has one great grandfather, who
was unable to attend The oldest of the party is in her
94th year, and still brisk and hearty, having walked nearly
a mile and a half on that day to join the party. It was a

infant to the minister, and of course richly enjoyed by
herself and the happy party. We understand that this
ancient dame undertook a walk of three miles the next day
to drink tea with one of her numerous progeny,— West,
