Union convened in Milton NJ. b. Church
on Wednesday afternoon of last week. On
the noon train of Wednesday the women
came down / 20 strong, and the evening
train brought many more. During the
three days session of the Convention the
women appeared to be enjoying them
selves, when on the streets, taking in the
beauties of Milton; and we Opinelthe town
will not suffer any detraCtlon in the esti-
nation OF the State by having had the W.
g. 7. y Convention in our midst. While
We must concede that the women attend
ing this convention are of the genuine
type of American beauty. yet we cannot
believe the aesthetcism of the ladies of
Milton has been intensified by the per
sonnel of their visitors. Truly, age hath
its triumphs as well as youth, The con-
vention adjourned on Friday evening and
on Saturday morning the visitors left for
their homes.

from all the fools of Milton, left the town
with his troupe on Friday morning for

the past week, this week we are ex-
periencing the reaction. 'Tls ever thus.
