BLUEHILL REUNION.
Old Home Folks Meet in Boston For
Annual Good Time.

Annual Good Time.
Boston, Feb. 10 Especially One OF the
pleasantest Of the Bluehill reunions in
Boston, which may now certainly rank
with the annual events, was held in
Sewell hall Saturday evening. Charles A.
Slower, the president of the association for
the past and coming year, had charge of
the arrangements. He was assisted by his
wife in receiving the guests, OF whom
there were larger number than at any
previous meeting.
The president and Msrcellus Coggan
made few remarks, as did o, theirs, in an
informal and social manner. This, with
music furnished by Prof. lansing upon
the banjo, accompanied by two OF his
pupils, and the singing of the Bluehiil
song written by the late Mrs. Anna Foster,
was the only break in the flow of CONVEX
sation and the greetings of old friends
glad to talk over early days and "dear old
Bluehilln.
A message from Mrs. Sarah Parker Bent.
aged ninety-two, given by her riece, DIR.
Anna Palmer, came as greeting to her
many friends from one OF BluehilI's oldest
inha bitants.
One OF the surprises OF the evening was
the appearance OF a group OF ladies', fresh
from the hsllowed village, who had upon
sudden inspiration packed their suit eases
and taken team for Ellsworth en- route ioE
Boston.
