f our aged and respected citizens, who
lad assembled to participate in the ex-
'rcises. and to be made happy by letting
heir eyes behold, and their ears hear,
What had been familiar to them in times
If old. An ancient clock stood at the
end Of the hall. and marked the pulsa-
lions of time with as much precision as
It did hundred years ago. A bible
that was owned by Mr.. Cutler, and
printed in 1888, was so we'll preserved
that the clergyman read without Difficult
ty psalm for the occasion. We have
rarely attended meeting where all APP
peared to be so happy and so well enter
tanned as they were here, and hope these
friendly and social gatherings may be
more frequent. The sum of $50 was
realized from the admission fees. and
will be applied towards furnishing the
new church.
