We can not congratulate ourselves
ts much on the fine weather we have

Yesterday morning upon their arri-

sic was very fine and entertaining.
1t ia with great pleasure we record
the fact, that, Notwithstanding the Re

around the globe from the Western hOr-

are freely offered that he will APP

The following distinguished gentle
men arrived in town yesterday, to at
tend the Reunion: General Doubleday
and family; Major Halsey, paymaster
Of the United States army; General
Charles Devens, accompanied by Gen.
Sorague and Col. Douglass, of his staff;
Governor Converse and wife General
Benjamin s. Roberts, of the United
States army.
We hope there viii be no cause at
the Reunion for the pertinent inquiry,
from those who are ignorant of the point
IN question, of "who is Old Tom ~
which inquiry at present, according to
John Paul, extensively prevails through
gu, the country. "Old Tom is sly
old dog. Intimate acquaintance with
the latter is very productive of highly
coored noses and ''sich."

patent backing, the pie litter, and last
bot not least, we anxiously await the ar

Il Sic: What with the bands and Thomas
full concerts, we are floating on sea
Of heavenly sounds. The bands were
playing most beautiful music in all di-
rctjons last night, but the Thomas con-
cert was confined to Grove street. The
full or-cats-tra was present, but the
mew-sick was pitched rather high, and
some of the instruments were slightly
out OF tune, otherwise, however, it was
avery felin(e) concert. There is one
4 regularity about these concerts-the
same audience never wish to hear them
twice. This is probably not owing to
the music, but to the loss of boots,
shoes, crockery, etc, which Thomas
concert is sure to entail upon the au-
dcncc.
