Another Silver WsddlnR.

| Mr.. EDITOR Perhaps your readers will think
that silver weddings in Winthrop occur quite often.
To this we plead guilty. There have been not
less than ten public silver weddings the past year,
and how many twenty fifth anniversaries of mar
risges have occurred unhonored and un,ung your
deponept saith not. The year 1851 must have
been prolific Of hymenea unions. Temperance
people everywhere will read with interest con-
corning the following happy occasion.
| The friends of Mr. and Mrs. b. S. Kelley of Win.
throp assembled at their residence the evening of
the 28th inst. to congratulate Mr.. Kelley and wife
on the twenty fifth anniversary of their married
| life. Every room Of the large house was literal.
| ly crammed with people. The number ofpersons
present must have been two hundred. The feast
of which the guests partook abundant and
costly. The presents given were simply enormous
and eclip ed everything of similar sort witnessed
in town for several years. Prayer was offered by
Rev. Mr.. Bosserman, and the presents were given
away by b. G. Toisey in behalf of the reform club
in a most happy aud eloquent sreech. Mr.. Tor.
scy referred to Mr.. Kelley as the king of the tenn
perance movement in town; as having done invalu-
able service for the cause Of temperance, good or
der and sobriety and the consequ ent welfare Of the
town, and said that the presents were not gwen
| because of the custom Of silver weddings but to
express the gratitude which the temperance peo-
pie in town fel, for him. Many presents were do
mated by others than active members of the club.
There was general singing of religious songs, and
the piano was skiully played by Miss Eva Bos-
serman. The !arty was in the he light of merri-
