The argus has an extended ac-
count of notable gathering in Cabot
of the children and descendants of
the late John and Betsey Graves,
late of Middlesex. Mr.. Graves was
the father of M. M. Graves of this
town. There were present four broth
ers and one sister, after separation
of more than forty years. The fami-
ly originally came from New Hamp-
shire. The writer in speaking of the
gathering SAID: 1.-The father and one
of the uncles were in the war of 1872
IA, the one at the battle of Platts
burg, the other lost his life at Ports
mouth, N. H. The grandfather on
their mothers side, while yet lad of
sixteen, sbouldered his musket in
1875, and lent hand in the historic
battle of Bunker Hill, and one of the
brothers, the youngest, was captured
in the late war, on the Weldon rail-
road, in Virginia, and died of starva-
ton in Andersonville prison.
Six of the children remain and six
have passed away. These six, and
all their descendants are total alb
stainers from alcohol, and all but
two or three from tobacco and the
hardy virtues they have practiced and
these undermining vices they have
summed, have kept intact the stand
ing of the race"

Rev. G. H. Parker of North Troy and
Rev. S. II. Greene, D. D., of Washington,

ings and tokens of remembrance. Besides
several articles OF glassware, gold
watch was presented to Mrs. B. by hel
father for keepsake, having been in the
family SO years, and purse of money and
sundry other valuable articles of private
and domestic use. The people of the
Baptist church in Jay are few in numbers
but of the "wide awake" order, and wher
they see any thing that needs to be done
they proceed at once to do it. The young
people take a very active part in the
work carried on, showing their goot
will and interest in their pastor. Mr.
Buzzell and wife seemed considerably
moved by the kindly attention shown
them. Mr.. Greene, with well chosel
words, spoke in behalf of the friends, ane
presented the gifts, to which Mr.. Buzzel
very feelingly replied.
