two years ago he has been deprived of his eye

to see him now would believe that he has
reached the age of 88 years. for he is as fail
and erect as in the days gone by. The guests
| from Searsport, Belfast and Swanville included
the young and the middle-aged. but none were
more erect than this genial old gentleman, who
received their hearty congratulations. and al
present hope to cong ratulate Uncle William
many times more.
