Reunion.-A large number of the
pupils of Rev. John A. Munroe, OF
Passaic, N. j., formerly of this city,
gave reunion on Christmas evening
in honor of his visit to this place. The
evening was pleasantly spent in social
intercourse, with vocal and instrumen.
tai music. About 8 o'clock the com
pany partook OF refreshments, and nuts
and jokes were cracked" for sometime,
whilst the bountiful supply of other
good cheer was equally enjoyed. This
reunion was no doubt very gratifying
to Mr.. Munroe, as it has been several
years since he taught in this city, and
it shows that time has not effaced the
friendships formed in childhood. We
know Of no one who seems more at
home 10 the company of his scholars,
and who so thoroughly enjoys the love
and confidence Of those who were under
his instruction. As an evidence of his
success as a teacher, several of our citi.
zens have been sending their children
to him at Passaic.
