ON the evening of the 17th inst. there assembled at the rooms of Mr. J. Rogers Rich, No. 151 Tremont Street, quite a number of that gentleman's friends, among them a delegation from the H H Society, of which Mr. Rich was an active member in "Ye olden time." The occasion of this assembly was a private reception given to his friends, that they might visit his art rooms (The Cluny). Mr. Rich has brought from France the art of bronzing plaster casts, and he had arranged in his rooms, with admirable taste, statues, busts, vases, etc., exhibiting the beauty of the preparation. The name Cluny is taken from the Paris house of that name, which is the main fountain; of which Mr. Rich is a "wee sma'" stream. His guests wish him all success, and many happy returns of the season.
