Related-And Yesterday They Did II
Again-Pointrd Personal Paragraphs.
ALMOST with the breaking of the MORN
ing yesterday began the celebration of the
sixteenth annual reunion of the Euwer-El-
lott family at Mr.. Jacob II. Walters house
1T Springdale, Pa. The family history is an
interesting one. A good many years ago
there was Mr.. Elliott who married Miss
Euwer. Their descendants ts to-day number
between 800 and 400, and for 16 years it has
been custom for the various branches to
meet upon q certain day. With the growing
years the interest has grown. historian

THOUGH stated some time ago in these
columns that the Church of the Good Shcp-
herd, in Haselwood, would be dedicated in
September, il is scarcely likely that that in
teresting event will be so early. The Rev.
MI. Hebron, the rector, expects to be absent
out of town, SO THAT probably a deferment
will be decided upon of few weeks.
GROUND has been broken on the Episco-
pal Church Home grounds, and the work of
excavation is being rapidly pushed against
the coming winter weather, which promises
to be so cold as to hinder most of the out-of-
door work.
A high boarded fence divides the grounds
into two parts and religiously prevents the
small orphan from viewing the preparations
for his new home. to say nothing of hinder
ing any active cooper alton in the work on
his part. A flock of seven sheep indicates
a pastoral atmosphere in the diminished
grounds about the old home. All stiffness
and misun derstanding that generally exist
between them and the human race has been
ban1-hed, and the sheep and children mingle
together with never baleful thought of
mutton to enter into their paradise.
A VERY amusing and, from the point of
view of athletics, instructive sight was wit
messed on the grounds OF Mr.. Carter Curtis
Beggs' house on Fifth avenue. Mr.. Beggs'
young daughter and a girl friend, in the
temporary absence of the gardener, under

suit. which probably somewhat clashed with
hts plans, but nevertheless afforded them
vast fun.
The moral since the paragraph promised
one, was the ease and energy with which
one girl wheeled large barrow, upon which
reached the side of mound of cut -rass,
with "malice aforethought" the wheelbar-
row was tipped over and q grass bath
is rapidly being removed by the American
maiden.
A CHARMING evening musicale was
given by a number of the young friends of
Mrs. Elizabeth Dauler's family, on Darragh
street, on Wednesday evening. The young
ladies of the house are exceedingly fond of
ment of playing very well, indeed, them
selves. Quite frequently such pleasant
evenings as that of Wednesday are given,
and an invitation to one is equal to a note in
hand for some hours most delightful hoSpi
tality.
