The spring meeting of the Glouces
ter County Historical Society, held
here On Monday afternoon, was highly
interesting and instructive, but was
not largely attended by SwedesborC

attend were well paid, and several
new members were gained. And we
venture the opinion that when the His
toricaI Society next visits us, Swedes
borO will be better represented.
