The entertainment given by Capt. Peene's
guests on Saturday evening, Aug 10th, was
thoroughly enjoyed by the people who at
tended. Some thought the little church
never looked prettier than with its decora-
tions of flowers and evergreens on that
evening. Mr.. Peene furnished a piano
ever which Miss Holden presided in very
pleasing manner. Miss Jeanette's presence
with her violin was delight to all. The
children could think of nothing else.
Those who had had the pleasure of hearing
Mrs. Pelton sing expected treat and were
not disappointed. Mrs. Ide's name did not
appear on the printed programs but her
help was appreciated. The Misses Nc
Duffee, elocutionists, gave selections both
grave and gay that seemed to give equal
pleasure to the audience. Our parsonage
fund is increased by $46.45 and we feel very
grateful to all who made the entertainment
such success in every way.
Reunion of ID, and x, Sd, 18th and 10th
Regiments.
Again on the 10th inst Old Proba bilities
favored the old soldiers with one of the
finest days for their gathering, on thir
years calendar, when the members of the
above mentioned companies met in Lyons
Grove, Willoughby Lake, for their annual
reunion. Before 9 O'Clock the teams began
to come in and continued to do so until Mr..
Smith at the south of the grove had put up
| fifty and Mr.. Hunt at the north about the
same number. OF course not all these be-
| longed to the soldiers. Co. K had IA menu
bers present, the largest mum Der for several
years. had Is, three less than last year,
and ID had 6. There were nine present fro m
| other organizations, making forty-seven
old soldiers in all. Most of them had heir
wives with them and some of them their
| sons and daughters. All went merry as
usual up to the dinner hour when we gath
cred around the table to partake of our
bountiful supply, when it was discovered
that some dastardly rascal had at some
time previous swooped down on the cottage
and stolen the dishes, or a good part of
| them. This was at first sumner for the
ladies who had the meal to prepare, but
/ the old boys showed them trick that they
| had not thought of and an hour after all
had eaten plenty of bananas and beans,
cake and coffee, on down through the al
| phabet. Two members from f have died
| during the year, Peter Young and Samuel
| lifting. K has also lost two mem BERG, j
n. Daggett of New York City, who at the
| time of his death was superintendent of
the Wanamaker store, and Harry Cheney
of West Burke. There were two deaths in
Co ID, but we did not get their names.
The Orleans County Veterans Drum Corps,
six pieces, was present that day and
played martial music till it made the older
inha bitants of the vicinity think of forty
years ago. At the business meeting of F.
