CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
India China. The exact date is not known, but it can be traced back from its connection with the family of the exhibit- or's grandfather, the late Dr. George deBenneville (third of the name) for one hundred years. Mrs. Kemble, on one of her vis- its to the exhibitor, while resident of the neighborhood of Miles- town, when shown this set of china, expressed great admiration of its antiquity and beautiful style, as she had never, in all her opportunities, seen any like it. The sets were composed of two tea pots, cream pitcher, two bowls (one of which was used for broken sugar as formerly used and handled with silver tongs), tea caddy, twelve cups, and twelve saucers.
