his summer vacation, us has been
his custom for several years, is thus
described by Globe reporter:
"As the coach drew up before the
door, the scene was beyond descrip-
ton. Not cheer WAS given, but
every eye was fastened intently upon
him. A few handkerchiefS tfuttered
TREMENDOUSLY in the air for u moment,
and then there was a spontaneous
rushing to the spot where he stood ;
friends, acquaintances and strangers
crowded promiscuously around him
and grasped him 10y the hand. la
dies present, who were attendants at
his church, but who had never spoken
with him, were fairly overcome with
emotion. Mr.. Beecher bore it all with
his accustomed calmnesS ofdemeaUor,
and his face lit up with smile, which
venture to say, it has not worn for
many Il day. He looks somewhat
Cal eworn, but maintains his old iovial-
ness and humor. He will preach here
