vile Mills, near Wakefield, was the scene of
n charming family reunion and sumptuous
Christmas dinner on Monday last, given by

the same fond desire to spend the day at the
old home. At one o'clock all We're invited
to the dining-room and to large table filed
to profusion with viands appropriate to the
season, which were amply discussed by all.
After full justice had been done to the good
things at the table, the grandfather called
upon the boys to exercise their muscles by
to split huge log that measured
FIVE feet in diameter, and they fell to it with
The will and zeal of youth, that "knows no
such word as fail, and soon the stubborn
wood yielded to their sturdy blows and gave
them the victory. This interesting feat ac-
grand reception and all honor
were given the venerable couple by their de-
scendants. Several hours were spent in this
pleasant family reunion before the guests de-
parted for their several homes leaving the

gratitude and JOY that they had been able to
gather all their children, with their husbands
or wives, with a single exception, and all
