SILVER WEppNa ATTuRNER HALL
Yesterday was the 18th anniversary oil the
marriage Of Cletus Hauser and Louisa
Feinler, and several hundred Of their
friends assembled ut Turner Hall to Cele-
brate the happy occasion. The guests be-
gan to arrive early in the evening, and
were welcomed by the genial host and
hostess and COterie OF relations and in
innate acQuaintances. The Crescent Band
discoursed sweet strains OF music, and
gentlemanly ushers politely looked after
all newcomers. In this large asscmblage
We noticed many Of our most prominent
citizens, and we do mot remember an OCca-
sion Of tho kind which was characterized
by u more orderly spirit or more gen
erous desire to make everybody happy,
Mr.. Gustave Crude acted as master OF
ceremonies, and was indefatigable in his
efforts to entertain everybody. Numerous
costly presents had been sent to
the residence OF Mr.. Hauser, us he
expressly desired that no demonstration
Of that nature should bc made at the
hall. In the course Of the evening I'D
dresses were delivered by Rev. DIR. Mayer,
Mr.. Crude and others, which We're lis
tened to with the closest attention. Tho
Reverend Doctors address was delivered
in German, in very feeling manner.
About II o'clock the guests were mar
shalled to supper, and partOOk Of n
most elegant repast. The usual num-
Der Of toasts and well wishes were
INDUCED in, and after all present
had participated in the good things, the
company returned to the main hall and
spent an hour or so in pleasant conyersn-
ton, promcnading, smoking, etc. Mr.
Harry Hauser, n son Of the cstimable
couple in whose honor the guests had as
semblcd, was most assiduOus in his attcn'
tions to the company, and We desire TO
here give him our small testimonial.
It may DO imagined that nothing but
the sacredness OF the day could prevent
such genial company from indulging in
the dance. Considerable persuasion was
brought to bear upon those having the
matter in charge, and 1t was finally
agreed that dancing should commence
some time after midnight. No further
invitation was deemed necessary, and the
old town clock had hardly done tolling
the midnight hour before llfty or more
merry couple were gliding TO and fro
upon the floor. The dancing continued
until late hour, and was participated in
BY nearly all who were present.
Mr.. Ilauser, who is now forty-Iiye, was
married at the age Of twenty. lie left
