a fly blister, and log chain fastened

would try the new stoves, 50 touche.
'em off and in a twinkling away he went
like rocket, he few up the hue, Fred
grabbed him by the boot, which was
lucky for Warner for 'ninetecns' den t
easily 90 through an eight inch pipe.
OFF came the boots, and up went War
ner. Fred ran out doors in time to
see him shoot out the chimney, a little
blacker than usual with a length Of
stove pipe in one hand and his hat in
the other, shouting Stoves and Hard
ware" As he passed the weathcrcock
on the spire he left his coat tail and
shot off toward the -four mile" Lat
err in the day, he was found in the
German settlement negotiating with 4
good natured German for ''t'rontler'

SOUTH LONDONDERRY - GOLDEN
ENTHUSIASTICALLY, April 8th, being
the fiitieth anniversary of the marriage
of Mr.. and Mrs Nathan Buxton of
South Londonderry, they we're invited
to spend the day with few relatives at
the house of E. +. Rugg, Esq. Great
was their surprise as members of the
Baptist church with which they are con-
nected, over fifty years of age, began to
come in filling the room. After a very
pleasant social time, E. F. Rugg gave a
short sketch of the Buxton family
The parents died recently at Rhode
Island, having lived nearly century.
Nine children are now living whose
united ages are COS years But one of
the seven adult children of Nathan Bux-
tou is living. The oldest, Mrs. Harring-
ton, died at Keene in 1861 Horace, aged
eighteen, died at Fort Slocum, Washing
ton, d. c., April Sd, 1868; Capt. Albert
B., was killed in the Wilderness battle
May 9th, 1864; Maj. Charles B., was
killed at the battle of Winchester, Sept.
18th, 1864; Martha B., Mrs. Stewart,
died of diphtheria in 1864. Thus FIVE
died in less than two years" Mr.. Rugg
presented package of greenbacks in
behalf of the friends, and remarks were
made by Rev. j. S. Goodall, who spoke
of the state of our country when Mr..
Buxton was born-77 years ago,-of
some events since that time,-of how
highly the aged couple priced The
Word Of Life, and bringing from its
hidden recess, splendid Bible with this
inscription, in golden letters upon the
lid: "A Golden Wedding Gift to Ma
than and Elisabeth S. Buxton" present
ed it for the friends. Thanks we're re-
turned for this, and the other gifts from
ovet flowing hearts, wishing that God
would reward the donors, as they could
not" After bountiful repast interesting
remarks we're made and prayer offered
by Rev. Mr.. Buckley of the Methodist
Episcopal church. We parted, believing
that this happy meeting, will be remem-
bered as an oasis in many of our lives.
In the evening the aged couple were
the recipients of scramble, which was
duly acknowledged. =
