A Home Gathering Surprise.

pleasant surprise was given To Mrs. Samuel
Il. Baldwin, at her home near HOpewcll, on Sat
urday last. Ii had been quietly arranged between
her children that they would all go home at that
time to celebrate the Goth birthday of their moth
er. The matter was kept a profound secret until
the children began to come on Saturday morning,
when Mr. Baldwin, her husband, broke the news
to her by telling her he had had dream that all
of their children were coming home to-day. He
finally told her that the dream would he realized
as per arrangements. The children, men and
women, eight in number, boys and girls,
all having families but one brother. They were
all present except sister, who lives in Toledo, q.
Some of the children had not been home for a
year or two, and several OF her grandchildren
Mrs Baldwin had never seen at ALL bountful
dinner was provided, and heartily partaken of by
all present. There were present hVe sons and
two daughters, four of the sons having their
wives and the two daughters their husbands
Eleven grandchildren made merry music with the
pratte of innocence and beaaty. There is scarce
ly inch difference in the height of the five boys
and not more than IL lbs. difference in weight
The average height is feet inches, and average
weight los lbs. A pleasant feature of the occa-
sion was the fact that each child took present
memento for remembrance of the day. Robert
L.. Baldwin, the baby of the family. enltvened the
occasion with few lively airs in imitation OF
colored brethren, which were followed by II SER
mon eolored man once preached on o tiles and
the raising of the pastors salary. iGung Mr..
Baldwin is an imitator and singer of mean
ability, and bids fair to take u still higher place
with his natural and gifted ability in the field of
song and melody. The whole affair was most
pleasant to parents and children. Y.

to this feeling and States for many years the

The New Railroad Bridge over the Sns.
qurkanna.

by the act Of 1882, chapter 223, before the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad can build their
bridge across the Susquchanna river and
lidcwater Canal the project must first re-
ceiyc the approval of the Board of Public
Works. On Thursday of last week Chief
Engineer Douglass appeared before the board
in reference to the construction of the pro-
posed bridge. Before giving their consent
the board determined to hear what the Citi-
Hcna of Port Deposit might have 10 say ON
the subject, and deferred action until ycstcr,
day, 50 that they might hear the views
Of those interested.
The people Of IIavrc dc Grace and
Iupidum are also interested in the matter,
because anything that increases the lilicl-
hood ni an icc.gorgc cndangcrs property at
both those places rs well ms at Port Deposit.
II piers are built in the river on either side
of Walson's island the people of Port De,
post had better remove farther inland or
they may be washed out by Il frcshct.
The bridge which will be built nj Walson's
Island, is TO be 50 feet above high water mark,
and will have no draw. 1t must interfere to
some extent with business at Port Deposit
and lapidum, MS vessels frequently come to
those points for lumber and grain whose
