PLEAsANs REUNION.
The Lancaster Gazette, one of the
oldest and ablest journals in the state,
has large number of graduates who
have achieved honorable distinction
in life in the walks of law, literature

thought vain in us, one Of the hum
blest of the number, to allude to an
occasion at which several OF them
were present during a recent visit to
Lancaster, to greet an old friend, MIR.
A. p. Miller, editor Of the Worthing

ger. The reunion was a most pleasant
and enjoyable one and WAS notable ir

had at some period in life been init
mately connected with the Gazette
The dinner was a royal one and th'
host and hostess. Mr.. and Mrs. Kook
