A pretty song was given by two daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Hill of Mount Healthy.

Hill, the son of the president, to Miss Victoria Carey of Sidney, which was solemnized at Sidney, Thursday, and many of those attending the reuniion will go to Piqua, Friday, to attend the reception given in their honor.
