This Annual Meeting was more generally
attended than any of the pre-, ious ones. About
two hundred Old Settlers were present
Everything passed eff in spirited manna.
and the entire company seemed to enjoy them
selve to their utmost extent. Such occasions
cannot be too hig ly recommended, They
are fruitful in good results. Such re-uni,ings
tend to cnliven all the sympattics of social
life and brighten the golden links which bind
together the hearts of the early pioneers. We
have no doubt that these annual gatherings
will continue to increase in tntere3t as the
race ofpioneers becomes less numerous, and
our present state Of society gives way 10 a
wider and brighter civilization.
