Mr. Stephen Elliot reached his 88th milestone today, and this morning his old friends and fellow travelers on life's journey gathered at the office of Dr. Samuel Ferris and proceeded in a body to the residence of Mr. William Clift, where congratulations were extended him. The young fellows spent a very pleasant hour exchanging reminiscences of by gone days, and remarks appropriate to the occasion were made by General William Grose and Rev. William C. Bowen.
