Belfast, and as to that many of the immedi.
ate relatives, who lived near drove IN from,
the Camp Ground, where they had been to
listen to Senator Frye, who spoke there in
the afternoon. The occasion was intended
as surprise to Mrs Merriam, and was
eminently successful in that particular. She
however, received her visitors very gracious
