The descendants of the late Holland Weeks, of Salisbury, Vermont, whose ancestors emigrated from England in 1830, and who are lineal descendants in the maternal line of John Alden, the stripling who "first leaped upon Ply- mouth Rock," are to have a social reunion at the house of Ebenezer Weeks, in Salisbury, on the 12th of September next. This will be the fifth gathering of the family since 1840. They meet every five years, the relatives being in nearly every state, from the New England to California.
