Silver Wedding.

On Friday last occurred the twenty 9Th an
niyersary Of the marriage Of Col. and Mrs. II.
d. llorKiNs, and il also occurred to the
ladies Of Bethany church that this would be a
very proper occasion to show, in some degree
at least, their appreciation Of the services of
both to the church. For period Of twenty
seven years Col Hopkins has acted as chorister,
faithfully performing the duties, direct as well
as indirect, Of that laborious position no oc-
cupiod for long term Of years the important
post Of Superintendent Of the Sunday school
while the numbcrlcss good works he and Mrs
Hopkins have rendered, outside as well as in
side the church, fully justified the Indies in
their undertaking The matter thus initiated
by the ladies', was earnestly seconded by the
many friends Of the pair outside as well as
within the State, and resulted in one Of the
plcasantost social re unions we have had for
many a day
Large delegations of friends and relatives
were present from different sections, embracing
five brothers Of the host as follows Silas, Of
East Berkshire; Daniel, of Waterbury Henry,
Of East Berkshire Ben D., Of st. Adams, and
Stephen D., Of Burlington An interesting
feature Of the occasion was the singing Of a
four part song by the younger four Of this
songloying group Of brothers. The song was
composed by Geo II Fullerton, Of South Bridge
water Mass, and set to music by our former
talented young organist, Mr.. II G. Edo
both the words and the music being composed
for the occasion. We give it in full

SrowE.-Thc appletree worms are destroy
ing some valuable orchards A large orchard
in Stowe Hollow is entirely stripped of leaves,
and they have even eaten the bark from some
of the limbs. People owning fruit trees should
use great care, and destroy the worms on their
first approach. Grass is looking well, aud the
farmers are calling for moving machines and
horse rakes earlier in the season than usual.

DuxBuRY. The heavy rain of last Thursday
caused land slide to come against the clapboard

with such force that it moved the mill about
one and one-half feet on its foundation, and
caused a serious delay in their works, as their
logs are being injured considerably by the

BuRGtRiors A party of burglars visited
this village on Monday night, and made yar-
ous calls upon our citizens quite late at night
Thoy did not succeed in securing any booty
excep; in single case. At Mrs, Charles Reed )
house, taking advantage Of a partially opened
window, they ELECTED an entrance, and thor
oughly ranncked the lower part of the house
They procured two dozen solid silver spoons,
and eight napkin rings, some Of which were
solid, and some plated They helped them
selves to what edibles they could lay their
hands on, and packed up what they could not
deyour, and carried them away With la
mentabe Ignorance Of the habits Of Mrs. Reed $
family, they uncorked every jug and bottle in
the collar, but Il is safe to say that they got
nothing to satisfy their spiritual wants. "
They also made a call at the rooms of John b..
Thurston, in the Riverside, and at the residence
Of W. G. Ferrin, but were frightened away
We also hear of their being in several other
places, butdo not understand that they secured
anything We do not learn of any attempt
on the part Of anybody to effect their capture,
50 we may reasonably look for another visit,
whenever they find it convenient

cherry trees.
