The date of the Weiser family reunion at Mrs. Heidman's near Stratford, is Thursday, August 10, 1805. The relatives are looking forward to one of the best yet held. On the same date the surviving members of Company E. 66th Reg't. OVI will hold a reunion at the home of Anderson Moore in Bellpoint, where they also anticipate a good time. At both places a grand spread will be one of the main features. As some of the members of this Company live in or near your city, as a matter of course they will, providence permiting, be looked for to put in an appearance. At Comrad Moore's (who lost a brother in that Company) the latch string is always on the outside. At the reunion of the Water's family in your city a few days since, some were present from Delaware, including that jolly sodier boy of the 121st regiment O. V.

Waters, a former Sheriff and Probate Judge of Delaware county, having lived for some time in part of the same house in Delaware with he and his family. The Gast grove in Prospect seems to be an attractive place for many Delaware young people, and I don't think that the shade and the good things to eat, have all to do with this attraction either.

The Delaware County Pioneer and Historical Association will hold their 35th annual meeting at the Court room in Delaware on Thursday, August 24th.
