GATHERING OF THE HOWE FAMILY There
was an interesting social gathering of the Howe
family, many members of which are residents
of this city as well as of various other parts of
the county and state, at Harmony grove Franz
ingham, yesterday. The exercises Of the oc-
casion began at 10 O'Clock with an address of
welcome from Col. Frank f. Howe of New York,
who was president of the day. After the singing
of a song of welcome written by Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe, the orator of the day, Hon. Joseph Howe,
secretary of state of tue Canadian
dominion, was introduced, and made an
eloquent address, After referring to the old an
cestral homes of England, he traced the history
of the Howe family from the time of Henry VII,
to the present, showing that its history was one
of honor and credit. OF their ancestors he said
they were God-fearing men, sprung from the
sturdy middle class of England who could not
endure submission to usurpcd authority After
further remarks relative to the antecedents of
the Howe family, he concluded by saving:
''If it be wise to gather the HoweS together
and renew old family ties, how much more i'm
portant will it be to bring together the three
great branches Of the British family and unite
them in common policy as indestructible as
their language, as enduring as the literature
they cannot divide. Out of such an union bles-
sings of perpetual peace would How-no for
eign power would venture to assail us-ships to
keep the peace of the seas would be all that
would be required; capital would ebb aud flow
freely over the whole cOnfcderacy; our trans
ports instead of carrying war material might
carry the surplus population to regions where
labor is wanted and land cheap; ocean tele-
grams would come down 10 penny rate; and
our national debts would dappear by the grad
us increase of the population, and the growth
OF general prosperity"
A song, entitled "The Name we Bear"
written by Mrs. Caroline Dean Howe of Port
land, Me-, was then sung to the tune of "Bon-
ny DOOM" after which fine address was de-
livered by Mis-. Julia Ward Howe, who was fol-
lowed by Judge William Writ Howe of the SUI
premc court of Louisiana, in entertaining re-
marks song, entitled "Thc good old name
Of Howe, written by Mrs. NJ, K. Howe Hinck-
ley of San Francisco, was next sung to the tune
of "Auld Lang Syne." Brief remarks followed
from other speakers, after which, at about one
O'Clock, dinner was served in a large tent upon
the grounds, and the remainder of the day was
spent in pleasant social intercourse.
1t is stated that upwards of one hundred and
fifty families by the name of Howe have resided
in Marlboro, which may properly be called the
hire of the family. John Howe is sad to have
hppn the first settler there
