On Saturday, the 2lst inst. compa-
ny of the former students of Derby acad-
envy, representing Derby, Troy, Lowell
and Westfeld. met for day of social
enjoyment at O. P. Wright's of Westfeld.
The day bidding fair to be propitous, it
was determined by unanimous consent
to ascend to the summit of Jay Peak.
Accordingly the party started off in the
best of spirits. and soon reached the
Mountain House, which at present is
unoccupied. After caring for the horses
the march was commenced. The party
had not progressed far when exclama-
tions could be heard which the forest
scenery had no part in calling forth. In
deed, they were not EXPLANATIONS of ad-
miration or joy but were accompanied by
vigorous motions of the arms and hands.
The heights were soon gained, land though
the atmosphere was slightly smoky, the
view presented to the eye was truly
grand. No one, however Indifferent to
natures charms, could gaze entirely I'M
moved from this point upon the picture
spread out before him. After dispos-
ing of the contents of the lunch basket
and building FIRE to intimidate the ad-
venturesome black fies-blood thirsty
little villians-some time was spent
with the glass, looking upon distant
towns and waters which dotted the land
scape on every side. Lake Memphrema-
cog on the east and Lake Champlain on
the west seemed like vast mirrors glow
ing in the sunlight. "reminiscences of
school days, teachers and schoolmates
not present, together with the varied OBJ
jects of beauty and interest presented to
our vision, formed the themes of discus.
sion for the hour. AS we decended from
the rocky heights to the wooded path
below, we encountered an old acquaint.
ances of the morning. But they were
not alone; each one had his brothers,
sisters, aunts, uncles, and all the rest of
the family and more, too, along with
him. Our reception was warm (6gura
lively speaking) as we assembled; it was
warmer now. But the struggle was
short though desperate. We soon were
"out of the wilderness" and on our way
to Mr.. Wright's once more, where the
beautifully spread table and cordial re-
ception by the whole family made us
soon forget our WEAKNESS. Several
closely contested games of croquet CON-
pleted the outdoor amusements of the
day. Our best treat was yet to come.
We repaired to the house and listened
to several varied and beautiful selection;
of instrumental music, skillfully execu
ted, on the rich toned parlor piano, by
Miss Alice Haseltine. Altogether it wa
a day of rare enjoyment, only alleged BY
the absence of other schoolmates, whose
memories are fondly cherished by thos,
who participated.
