SILVER WEDDING.-A very delightful re-un-
ion took place on Friday evening last in Cor
ham, at the residence of Mr. Joan L. Curtis,
the occasion being the celebration Of the twen-
ty-ffth anniversary of the wedding of Mr.. and
Mrs. Curtis. The homestead of the late Capt.
John Curtis was we'll filled with the immediate
relatives and friends of the family, and among
the number were several who were present at
the ceremony in 1916. A table was spread in
the parlor with numerous and valuable gifts,
and among the articles was silver tea-seryice
by the members of the Waters family Col
Geo. w. w alters of Newton, Mass, the father of
Mrs. Curtis, with his daughter, was present, but
Edw. Waters, Esq, his son, the well known pro-
prietor of the Boston Daily Adueriser, was I'M
avoidably absent. Miss Abby Waters, a cousin
of the above, who has been confined for long
time at her fathers residence in Gorham by ILL
ness, was greeted by her many friends with
congratulations on account of her convalesence
She will be remembered by the Portland citi-
zens as having formerly been one of the able
aud efficient clerks of the post office in this
city. The affair was very pleasant, and the re-
union of relatives and friends an exceedingly
happy one. The singing, by Mr.. Sam'l Thurs
ton, the favorite tenor of the First Parish
Church in this city, and others, was most
pleasiog feature Of the occasion.
