Laht week Socorro was visited by a
cloud hurst which destroyed a great
deal of property and caused the loss of a
number of human lives. The frequency
of disaster of this kind in New Mexico
of late lias proved the wisdom of the
races which inhabited this portion of
the country before its settlement by Eu
ropeans in building their towns in ele
vated places out of the reach of Hoods.
People who have had the curiosity to
examine the ruins of these villages have
noticed that they are invariably located
in high places entirely out of the way of
flood. Had the practice of the people been
followed by the builders of Silver City
and Socorro, the recent disasters which
have overtaken these places could not
have occurred.

Isaac Siggins has just returned from
his old home in Pennsylvania, where a
remarkable family re-union was held at
Irvineton, on June 25. It was the oc
casion of the first re-union of the race
which was held in the beautiful and
picturesque Brokenstraw park at Irvine
ton, Pa. There were about 500 of the
connections and immediate friends pre
sent, and a more happy, pleasant and
enjoyable family reunion had never been
held in Pennsylvania. In many respects
it was a most remarkable family gather
ing, as many of the connections had not
met for thirty years, while the majority
of those present had never seen each
other.
The day was spent by listening to ad
dresses covering the family history from
the first ancestors in France ; then to t he
settlement in America in 1791! and down
to the present day. It was decided to
have another re-union in June next year.
Mr. Siggins reports a most enjoyable
time. He travelled farther than any
other member of the family present and
says he has never realized that he had so
many relatives in existence. Mr. Siggins
is also c mt'.-mplating 'another visit east
at the time of the annual re-union next
year.
