| | Antiquarian Supper |
 | | A beautiful supper was furnished, consisting of the veritable bean porridge of the past, pumpkin pie, fire cake, parched corn, and sage tea, which were eaten with as much apparent relish, as if it had been a more fashionable supper. |
 | | The members of the club held their annual Antiquarian Supper, Feb. 25th, 1857, at the dwelling house of uncle N. True, and at half-past 2 P.M. the latch string was thrown out, and the grandfathers and grandmothers began to arrive on sleds covered with quilts and chairs to the music of antiquated sleigh-bells. |
 | | The old-fashioned tin trumpet called the company to supper, a few remarks of welcome were made by uncle True, and the president, uncle Josiah Brown, called on the Patriarch to crave a blessing, when the bean porridge was served out in abundance. |
