On Wednesday of last week. Dec
6, about 100 friends gathered ut the
house of Mr.. and Mrs. John Chubb,
of East Orange, to celebrate with
them the fftieth anniversary of their
wedding day.
The arrivals commenced at one
o'clock. p. NJ. and continued until
six, during whic' time all were gra-
ciousiy entertained, and bountifully
supplied with choice refreshments.
The parlor in which the aged
couple received their guests was
beautifully decorated for tho occa.
sion, wreaths with pendant crosses
of evergreen were hung in the win
dows and above the host and hos
Tess was "a large and beautiful
wreath. with a cross and anchor on
either side while above the wreath
and wrought in evergreen were the
words "Half Century"
The bride of fifty years WAS dress
ed in black silk plainly but richly
trimmed, while cap of heavy black
lace trimmed with white, adorned
her silver hair. The calm spirit
which had for long years been at
peace with God and the world, had
left its impress on every feature !;
and we could but exclaim,
"Shesbonnier than o her daughter'
The bridegroom was dressed in a
faultless suit of black and his hap
py face told us that he had bridged
Times swift river with span, and
crossed to where their lives began.
AT seven o'clock, the guests re-
paired to the little church and
little later the wedding party enter
ed, the bridal pair being conducte d
to seats in front OF the altar. After
music, the Rev. Mr.. COwell Of East
Orange, in few appropriate and
touching remarks, presented the
collection ofchoice gifts, in behalf
of the friends and neighbors. The
Rev. Mr.. Dickey of Washington,
formerly a pastor of this place, re-
piled in behalf Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chubb. All were then invited to
come forward and greet the bride
and bridegroom of fifty years ago,
and examine the costly presents
that were spread out for view. The
social hour was enlivened by in
strumental music from Prof. ID. A.
French who conducted the music of |
the evening.
Among the presents were some so
as to be worthy of men.
tion--a pair of easy chairs in black
walnr' and hair cloth, from the
children of the worthy pair-also
in elegant sofa from the older peo-
pie of East Orange, and a set of nice
window shades with neat pattern
in gold, from the Young peoplt of
this place. Among some presents
sent from the West were a heavy
gold ring withthe inscription "Aunt
Lucy" and pair of beautiful brace
lets set in Jet.
The evening passed plea sanity |
with short speeches and converse
ton, interspersed with music.
What added much to the interest of
the occasion was the presence of
some who fifty years ago attended
the wedding which they were now
celebrating The absence of one
daughter cast a shadow over the
otherwise happy hearts of Mr.. and
Mrs. Chubb; and some saddening
memories mingled with the golden
ones as they
Looked back across their fifty years,
And were again the man and maid
Upon whose youthful hopes and fears
Gods sweetest sacrament was laid.

RADICAL PERSECUTION.
A Base Attempt to Defame and Iniure a
Leading Democrat.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, July Pr.
J. Bright, State printer, appeared be-
fore Justice Fisher this morning to
answer the charge Of perjury, for
which he was arrested Tuesday on
the affidavit of Mr.. F,ishback, OF the
Journal. By agreement the case was
referred to the grand jury, which
meets in a few weeks. MIR. Bright
gave bail for five hundred dollars,
William Henderson and John Fish
back, a brother of the plaintiff, be-
coming his bOndsmen. The charge is
brought for the purpose Of opening an
investigation into the alleged frauds
said to have been committed by the
State printer, whereby the State is de-
iTauded of several thousand dollars.
CINCINNATI, July 27.-A special to
the Gazette says the case of Il. j.
Bright, OF the State Sentinel, Indian
apolis, charged with perjury in swear
ing to false accounts as State Printer,
came up before Charles Fisher, Justice
of the Peace, to-day. MIR. Hendricks,
attorney for MIR. Bright, stated that
when the counsel Tor the defense had
come into court Tuesday evening,
they thought the case so plain that
they stated their Willingness to go
into an examination Immediately,
according to the wish Of Mr..
Bright, but since they had examined
the papers and the case they found
it involved points OF law of more inn
pOrtance and would require full ex-
animation of the history of the State
printing and the practice OF State
printers 10 do justice to their client ;
the grand jury would meet ia few
days and no injustice could be done by
waiting; they mad therefore decided 10
waive examination and let the case go
to court without preliminary trial,
bail being given in the sum of five
hundred dollars.

from. The speech was received by

Hagan Green, a negro, prominent

LITTLE Rock, July 27.-Jos. Brooks,
leader OF the faction of the Republi-
can party opposed to Clayton, made a
speech Wednesday to q crowd of ne
groes near this place, in which he was
particularly severe on the Clayton
party, charging them with many
wrongs and 0utrages against the peO-
pie. He advised the negroes to vote
for honest men, even if they were
Democrats; that many OF the latter
could be trusted a great deal more
than some men in their party. He
favored amnesty. The speech was
loudly applauded by the negroes.
Quite war has been going on for
some time between the Clayton and
Brooks factions. In this county, for
negro strength, the latter has it all
his own way so far.

IMMENSE DESTRUCTION
The Hail and Wind Of Last Week-Their
Woeful TraCks-LOss Of Property
and Crops.

NEW YORK, July H.--RepOrts Of
the very destructive hail storm that
passed last week over portions of Sui.
livan county in this State, and over
Wayne and Pent counties, Pennsyl-
vaDia, are just coming in,
In Sullivan county, FOrestburg and
Bethel suffered severely by the storm,
which was accompanied with terrific
thunder, lightning and very high
wind. Trees were blown down, grow
ing crops cut to the earth, and two OF
three barns were struck by lightning.
Considerable wheat ami rye was still
uncut, which was totally destroyed.
The corn crop has been seriously
affected, and as the drought of early
summer rendered the hay crop very
light, the prospect confronting the
farmers Of the country is anything
but cheering. 1t is even considered
doubtful whether half of the stock Of
the country can be Wintered.
In Wayne county, Pennsylvania,
the stOm was very violent; the ground
in many places was covered from one
TO two inches deep with hail stones.
In Damascus, corn, oats and buck
wheat were seriously injured. Some
fields of corn were totally destroyed.
HailstOnes, of extraordinary size, de-
moIished windows, fruit and gardens,
as well as crops. Three barns were
struck by the lightning, all of them
being Just filled with new grain and
hay. Some farmers estimate their
damage at from fifteen hundred to two
thousand dollars. Two bridges were
also blown down in the northern part
Of the county. In Sussex county, New
jersey, the storm seems TO have been
very destructive. In the vicinity OF
AndOver hailstOnes fell in immense
quantities and lay on the ground in
piles several inches deep. After the
storm had ceased sleigh-riding was
possible, from Freedom to Anderson
hall. The storm made q complete
sweep, cutting corn and oats to pieces.
Corn is mere stalks and stubble, en-
tirely stripped of leaves. Fruits and
gardens received lasting injuries, and
the damage to farmers was very great.
Jason Wickh2m's barn, near Gale
vile, was struck by lightning and en-
tirely destroyed. Loss $500, inde-
pendent of the contents. The scene
in the track of the storm, after it had
passed, was fearful. Fences down /;
fields Of grain riddled. The winds de-
mOlished the branches Of trees. and de-
bris Of all kinds formed q discourage
ing sight to farmers. Up the Erie
railroad, north Of NarrOWsburg, the
storm did great damage to property
of all kinds.
