 The item in the "Ochepetuok notes" last week about 8 Oorbin re- union, in connection with the old home day meeting on Bald Hill, is attracting considerable attention. No doubt the author of this plan had only the kindest of motives, but the arrangement seems to have been made for and not by the Corbins. At the meeting last Tuesday different branoh- es of the family expressed regret that any preparation of this kind had been made for them at this time, for they feel that an old home day is not for any one family in particular, but for all families interested in the old town of Union, and that an old home day nleeting is not propitious place for family reunions.
 Those in town who are interested in it's history, and especially residents whose ancestors served in the revolu- tionary war. feel very grateful to Judge Henry E. Back of Danielson for procuring and setting the bronze markers at the graves of the soldiers CTS are very artistic. a wreath of laurel surrounding 8 star on which the thirteen stars are engraved, with the words E Pluribus Unum, and 1775, A Patriots Grave, 1783. They are furnished by the Sons of the R evolution. It is we'll that there are those who see the value of mark ing in a permanent manner interesting Rraves~and sites, and the marking of these graves and the site of the old meeting house, which was done last year, are to be commended. We hope the selectmen will soon find time to attend to the walls about the old cemetery and the unsightly gap in the wall of the new cemetery.
 The home of MT. and Mrs. Wm. J. Myers of West Woodstock was the scene of very pretty wedding last Wednesday, when their daughter, Mary Rachel, was married to Rev. Hugh Finlay Graham, pastor of the Congregational church in Union. The ceremony was performed beneath a maple tree on the lawn. At 3 o'clock the familiar strains of the Lohengrin wedding march were heard, and the bridal party came from the house in the following order: Rev. T. A. Turner of East Woodstock, who per- formed the ceremony, the groom and best man, Raymond Oorbin Barrows of Union, the bridemaid, Miss Clara Myers, sister of the bride. and the bride on the arm of her father, who gave her away. The ring service was used. After congratulations and good wishes had been given the newly welded pair dainty refreshments were served. There were many pretty and useful gifts, including a liberal sup ply of table silver from the brides immediate family. There were several gifts of money from MT. Graham's s parishioners. Besides the relatives and friends from Woodstock nd Union, guests were present from Quinnebaug, Putnam, Hartford and New Haven. The wedding march was played by Miss Waite of Hartford, a cousin of the bride. After the oere- mony Miss Boyoe of New Haven and Miss Barbara Morse of West Wood stock rendered some beautiful selec- tions on the piano. The brides dress was white net. prettily trimmed with lace and insertion. She wore a veil caught with white sweet peas. The gown of the bridesmaid was also white net. MT. and Mrs. Graham were compelled to weather a veritable snowstorm of confetti throughout the reception hour. Their loving but too oficious friends decorated their horse and carriage in a truly bridal style. and the wedding bells ohimed merrily as they drove to their home in Union. MT. Graham has beer
