EAST ELMoRE.-The event of last week
was n social visit to B. f. Morse, on Feb
ruary q, the sixty-tirst anniversary of his
birth. His friends assembled to congratu-
| late him and express their good wishes for
the future. just how many persons par
tiCipated in the pleasures of that visit is un-
known, but that the number was just right
no one who was present had the slightest
doubt. The musical element in East Ell
more is strong and was well represented,
many selections being finely rendered, with
Mrs. Potter as accompanist on the organ.
If there is a place where there is more
music to the square inch than in East Ell
more the writer has not found it, and no
| other Gift seem. to equal it in any social
gathering. Here it was fully appreciated
and added much to the enjoyment of those
present. During the evening an excellent
supper was served and jolity a d good
humor reigned supreme. Age and care for
the time were forgotten, and youthful com
ra eship took their place. The participants
will often recall this pleasant affair and it
will cement anew the ties of affection and
respect which neighbors should always
| cultivate.
