chievous among the neighboring sheep,
and had killed 10 or 20 of them.

SILVER WEDDING The friends OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Porter Monroe of this
place, gave them very pleasant sur
prise on New Years day, by calling up
on them to celebrate the 25th anniver-
sary of their marriage. As the trains
came in one after another, they brought
delegation after delegation from Fitch
burg, Ashburnham, Leominster and Ac-
worth until nearly one hundred guests
arrived with their Happy New Years .
greeting and their silver remembrance.
From P. NJ. until Z, the genial host
and hostess dispensed an open-handed
hospitality from heavily laden tables, to
which the guests did ample justice. AT
s P. Nj. the bride and groom of quarter
of a century, were ushered into one of
the rooms where was uncovered table
covered with glittering silver, some of it
rare and all beautiful and costly. 1t
was presented to them, in the name OF
their friends by Winchester Wyman, Esq,
of Fitchburg, which was responded to by
the host in few words, thanking them
for his wife and himself, for their kind
remembrance and costly gifts, whose
chief value to them would be that each
article was rich in the kind feelings
which they represented, beyond silver
and beyond price. 1t was one of the
pleasant things of life that we like to re-
member, when after twenty-five years of
domestic happiness they can gather their
household gods about them, an unbroken
circle, and, while receiving the gifts and
congratulations of their friends, can say,
with the Roman matron while pointing
to her children, " These are my jewels. .
Betwee one and two hundred dollars
worth of silver was presented and their
friends left at late hour with the {. r
tain conviction that they had indeed had
very happy New Years day, and that
all had gone merry as a marriage

Lecture,

The next lecture of the course will be
delivered at Onion Hall, on Tuesday
evening Of next week, Jau. 18Th, by
Wallace Bruce. Subject, -Landmai ks
of Scott. Mr.. Bruce is not so well
known in this place as his predecessors,
but where he is known he is spoken of
with equal favor. He has been received
at various other places with much favor.
The Poughkeepsie papers say that at
that place, he had been preceded by
Cough, Collier, Talmadge, Anna Dickin-
son, and others Of equal celebrity, none
of whom excelled him. The N. Y.
Evangelist speaks of his lecture in very
favorable terms, and we are confident he
will give entire satisfaction.
Doors open at 7 o'clock. Tickets
may be obtained at o. ID. Gray's, john
son q Rabbits, II. Ii. & S. M. Davis
and Geo. o. Guilds.
The lecture course thus FAR this season
has not been SO fully patronized as last
year, the expenses having exceeded re-
ceipis, and the committee desire us to
say that upon the patronage of the next
lecture will depend the continuance of
the course.

THE GAZETTE.
FRIDAY EVENING. AUGUST q.

The experiments of scientists have demon
strated the following facts respecting the
strength of certain materials: Gold may be
hammered so that it is only one three hundred
and. sixty-thousandth of an inch thick. 40 iron
bar would support its own weight IT stretched
out to length of 81 miles. A bar OF steel was
once made which would sustain its own weight
if extended to length Of 49, miles. Bunker
Hill Monument might be built more than
mile in height without crushing the stoues at
its BASE When bars ofiron are stretched un-
til they break, those which are the strongest IN
crease 10 length less than the weaker ones A
piece of wood having breadth aud thickness
of three inches, and length of four feet, II
supported at it's ends, would be bent one mii
lionth of an inch by weight of three POUNDS
placed at its centre, and weight OF one tenth
of an ounce would bend it one scven-mlllonth
of an inch.
EXPERIMENTATION oE GLASS. If drawing
be made upon ordinary ground glass with
mixture of boracic acid, gum and water, and
when dry the glass be heated to temperature
sufficiently high to melt the boraclc acid, the
latter will render the glass transparent, and
thus the drawings are fixed Metallic oxides
may be mixed with the boracc acid, and thus
any desired color can be impaired to the draw
ing. We have no doubt that good results Can
be obtained by this ingenious French method,
but do not think it will be able to supcrsede
the sand blast for ornameDting glass.
