CELEBRATE PETER SKIFF'S
 BIRTHDAY.

| CELEBRAlE HEl lER ShlF I ,
 BIRTHDAY.
 Peter Skiff of Skiff Mountain cele-
 brated his S4th birthday on Thurs day last. About 130 met there and helped him make this one of the bright and joyful days in his long life, of which so few can boast. MT Skiff is the oldest Mason in St Luke s lodge, F. $ A. M, if not in the c0Un- ty and he began this last season by asking them all to spend the day with him and all enjoyed it so much that they then and there planned to meet there just as often as he be- came a year older, not because if is desired that he should grow older but really because of the good time. The way he treats folks only in creases their desire to stay, and the nice cool breeze one met as they drove into the yard seemed to wait a welcome through our veins. Then the rattle of the drum and the boom ing of the little cannon which had been placed on the hill back of the house and made the hills echo for S4 times, once for each year that he had spent sowing those fields and climbing the mountain. He is still as nimble as a man of 40 and ready to-day to shoulder his gun .Or fishing rod with any of the boys. His entire family were present, also his two re- maining brothers, Paul of New Haven and Giles of Ellsworth; also his sister and her husband, MT and Mrs George Scoville of Gloversville, N. Y. It was a family reunion and a picnic all combined ead all did their part to make it a pleasant gathering of which all speak with praisel The large table in the yard and the big table with that chowder, of which one lady remarked that she had eaten four quarts and wished she could eat more, all bore evidence of how we'll this thing had been planned and carried out. Giles Skin was called on for some remarks and spoke of the things that had hap pened along the line in a very touch i ing and earnest manner, spicing It now and then with a story which l made it an oration that could not but please all. Adjournment was then taken for one year. All hope to meet again and find Brother Skiff in the same good health.
