WEST CORNWALL.
A DELIGHTFUL REUNION.

l DELIGHTFUL REUNION. As announced in THE BEE, the annual ! reunion of the Cornwall Hills association l occurred on Saturday and Sunday, Au- gust 17 and IS. The picnic on Saturday was held on Seoville Heights, and proved very enjoyable. Many of Cornw walls sons and daughters came back to see their old mother, and greet again the friends of youth. Among them were no- ticed Henry Baldwin of Lee, Mass, and his brother, James, a successful farmer in Ohio, George Bradley and wife, nee Rogers, of Stockbridge, Mass, Fred Gamsby and wife, nee Sterling, of Bridgeport, Robert Whittlesey of New Preston and Gould Hart and wife of New York. Mingling with these were many summer guests who came to enjoy the beauty of our hills. The residents of the parish were out in force, and the ladies provided most tempting dinner, fully maintaining the reputation they have as | excellent cooks. As soon as possible af- oSA NALiL1S1 AlOiA I AO' oOAl1, bnC ItdU, called the assembly to order and then the fun began. Rev J. A. R. Rogers of | Hartford told of his delight at being pres ent again in the town of his birth, and l said he hoped soon to have here a place of his own, to which he could come and bring his friends. Rev William B. Clarke of Durham, pastor of the church here 40 years ago, spoke on his Joy in coming back to his first parish and the hills he loved. Rev Samuel Scoville of Stamford was full of delightful memories of the times when the boys went skating after sunset Sunday, or else went to singing school and held and snuffed the candles for the girls. Rev Dwight M. Pratt of Portland, Me-, spoke of the value to him of the training received on the old farm. All these remarks were richly interlarded | with jokes of local flavor, much enjoy | ed by the audience. One of the best I things was by c. E. Baldwin, a sketch of the men of Cornwall who have passed away, setting forth their peculiarities in his inimitable way with some good story, and by voice and gesture making those 1 of whom he spoke live before us. But perhaps after all, Sunday was the great day of the feast. The showery morning gave place to perfect day, and de- lightful breeze swept over the hills. The young ladies had decorated the church very prettily, banking the pulpit with maiden hair ferns and dssweet peas. The four ministers, Messrs Clarke, Scoville, Pratt and Pierpont, occupied the plat. form and took part in the service. MT Clarke spoke of Eddy, Eldridge and Reid as pastors whom he had known when he was pastor here. MT Scoville spoke ot the simplicity of the Christian life, MI Pratt emphasized the value of Christian character and the pastor reviewed briefly the history of the church for the past 1e years. It was service well calculated
 to strengthen the loyalty of all born 1T
 the country, to their old home. The
 voices of religion and patriotism, of past
 and present, blended here.
