turbed, on Saturday evening, Sept 18th,
by the celebration of the silver wedding
of Mr. and Mrs. f. NJ. Wright. A large
party of friends and relatives were in
attendance there were the usual number
of beautiful flowers, tasteful monographs,
and handsomely dressed ladies' while the
wedding feast was furnished with rare
and costly decorations. The gifts were
numerous and appropriate and some OF
them very elegant. A few brief words
of welcome were extended to the friends
by the present pastor, to which Rev. r,
S. Cushman responded in his happiest
mood AS the officiating clergyman Of
the former wedding, he claimed the right

years, and follow the couple round by

summit, in the outlook which they now
enjoy. Rev. DR.. Post from ST. Louis wa!
