Growing Up In Paterson 1846
| Juvenile Tea Meeting: - On Tuesday evening, the 6th instant, J.H. Boughton, Esq., invited the children under the tuition of Mr. J. Hollingworth, of the Paterson township, to a public tea. They walked in procession from the school house to the residence of their kind host, who, anticipating their approach, hastened to meet them. He appeared highly gratified with the juvenile procession, which was truly interesting, as it moved towards the edifice (contiguous to his house) set apart for the evening's entertainment. The building was most tastefully decorated with flowers and evergreens, exhibiting the appearance of an alcove. At 4pm fifty children sat down to tea. The provision was most abundant, varied, and of the best description. The tables literally presented a magnificent appearance. After tea, innocent and mirthful recreation was indulged in by the pupils, until the shades of evening, when they were led by their teacher to express their obligations to their highly esteemed host and hostess for their condescension in having personally waited upon them during the happy season of their festivity. (January 16 846) |
