SIMON DUNN'S 88TH BIRTHDAY

   Simeon Dunn, father of Mrs. George Eddy, was at home Wednesday to his friends in commemoration of his 88th birthday anniversary. Mr. Dunn was born in 1815 in Groveland, N. Y.. and since 1837 has lived near Hillsdale, Mich. He is one of Michigan' pioneers, having helped lay out the government land. In 1852 he took the overland trip to California in search of riches. He served in the army under VanBuren and Polk and was made captain, and loves nothing better now than "to tell of all the maneuvers that took place in the war."  Mr. Dunn is in excellent health and is young among his seventeen grandchildren, and is honored as a strong man and good.
