September 24,1874 Pioneer Happy. If any one wants to see condensed happiness let him observe for a moment the facial muscles belonging to J.H. Aldrich, whose countenance so, exactly fac similie and illuminated watermelon that you cannot tell the difference until you find the seed. He seems to be swimming in a sea of molasses and all because a little 7 1/2 pound girl of the female persuasion insists upon calling him papa. Smile on Harry, “A good beginning is a thing half done.”
