Celebration of an Interesting Event.

On Thursday last, the friends Of Dea and Mrs.
Henry Woodward Of Winthrop, visited their
residence and completely surprised them.
The occasion was the twenty-ffth anniversary of
their wedding day. The question of having sill
most intimate friends, but Mr.. Woodward and wife
did not deem it desirable to have such time, be-
cause their friends in such a case would feel
obliged TO contribute, which they refused to allow
in these hard times. But their friends were not to
be put Of! in this summary manner, and accord
ingly three busy, industrious and capable ladies
resolved that they would get up surprise party.
The evening was very windy and severely cold,
but notwithstanding this misfortune about hun
bred Iersons assembled, and so great was the sur
prise that Mr.. Woodward, sometime after the
rival of the guests, was found at his store doing
his usual work. The party brought with them
bountlul supply of food for supper, besides val
liable amount Of silver ware Among the articles
presented was an elegant silver service, one dozen
spoons, solid silver silver knives silver vases,
nice cake basket; but that which pleased the eye
most in these initiation times was a large number
of coin silver dollars, which indicated to the
guests that the time for specie payment not
far distant. If there had been day or two more
notice, several friends would have been present
from Auburn and Boston, but congratuatory let
tiers and costly presents were sent IN their stead.
In behalf of the contributors the articles were pre-
scented 10 mass by Rev. II. w Jenkins, in a most
pleasing, witty and eloquent little speech. In be-
half of the twain Mr.. Woodward responded in his
usual happy manner, thanking his friends for the
gifts, the value of which was not in high prices of
art Giles, but in the inestimabe value of friend
ship di played therein, and expressed his sincere
Utica tion at their presence, after which the
