On March the '29th, 1900, Mr.
H. R. Stembridge celebrated his
sixty-fifth birth day. Early in the

seventy-five people were present.
He sung a hymn and read chap
ter in the Bible, and after prayer
by A. j. Eskew, the table being
ready the congregation was invit-
ed to feast on the good things that
Mrs. j. A. Stembridge and Mis-
Didame Stembrige had prepared
for the occasion, and after dinner
the old people conversed on the
topics of the day while the young
people enjoyed themselves as it
suited them.
Mr.. Stembridge is old Baptist,
and has been a member of the
church A years; he has IL children
living, the Youngest being % years
old; he has two chairs, one is so.
years old, the other IS; he also has
a dinner horn, he said was older

Mr.. Stembridge has been an in

that he may be spared to celebrate
several birth days yet.

FRIENDLY SONS OF ST. PATRICK
Origin Of this Historic Society of irish
Americana.

The society known as the Friendly
Sons of st. Patrick was first organized
in Philadelphia, and the first regular
meeting appears, from the minutes, to
have been held at Burns Tavern. on
Tuesday, September II, I'LL, when
fifteen regular and two honorary men,
bers were present, says the N. Y.
Gael.
From the records there appears to
have been twenty-three original men,
bers. besides seven honorary members
Philadelphia at this period was the
chief city of the nation, and the focus
of every political and diplomatic move
ment Later OH national independence
was declared there. Conventions and
Congress met, and it was the seat Of
the confedcrated Federal and State
Governments, the residence of foreign
ambassadors and ministers, and oc-
casionally the theater of war.
The following are the names of the
|
phcn Moylan, president; George Meade,
William West, George Campbell, Mat
thew Mcase, James Mease, John
Mcase, Thomas FitZsimmons, John
Mitchell, John Maxwell Nesbitt, Gener-
al John Shee, Thomas Barclay, Colone1
John Nixon (born in America), John
Boyle, George Fullerton, George Davis,
Samuel Caldwell, Benjamin Fuller,
Trench Francis Oborn in America), Col
Onel Turburt (born in America), and
Andrew Caldwell.
The attendance at the first meeting,
September II, 1771, as has been said,
consisted of fifteen ordinary and two
honorary members. At that meeting
President Moylan appointed his coun-
ell, treasurer and secretary, which con-
stitutcd the administration during his
term Of office.
The objects OF the society were pure
ly social and convivial, want of distress
being ut the time Of it's formation rare
in the Province of Pennsylvania, did
not require the union of individuals
into associations for the purposes of
charity. Yet it would be great mis-
take to infer from this that the So
'iety was Il useless one. An associa-
ton could not be deemed useless which
brought together in friendly contact
such men rs Dickinson, Barry. Morris
Wayne. Fitzsimmons, Peters, the Moy,
lans, Iopkinsons. and many others dis
tinguished for their genius. talents. wit
and patriotism-which bound them to-
gcher by the tic of friendship, and
made them acquainted With the charac,
ter and qualifications Of each other
The society was formed. too. at !:
time when unity of sentiment and pur
poses among men of influence was vi
tai to the success of that mighty move
ment for universal liberty which had
already begun to agitatc the minds OF
men.
The regular meetings of the society
were held on the 18th days Of March
June, September and December. Each
member was required to furnish him.
