SALISBURY

Last Friday evening. during The
shower, a gale Of wind struck the premis.
es of Mr.. Moses s. Sheldon, unrooGng
about one quarter of his barn aud taking
up rail fences bodily and carrying them
forward 10 it's path toward the mountain.
The severe gale was only about five rods
wide, and one rod beyond OH either side
of this juvenile hurricane there was no
disturbance Of any except the lighter
m~oyables.
V-There was a large and brilliant panty
at the beautiful residence of Columbus
Smith, Esq, in Salisbury last Wednesday
evening, on the occasion of the tenth an.
niversary Of their marriage. The wealth.
er was untavOrable, bnt in spite of the
rain, the attractions were sufficient to
draw q large crowd of gay and happy
people, who were put at ease al once by
the charming and easy manner of their
reception by the host and hostess. Mrs.
Smith was dressed in her wedding suit OF
ten years ago. All the guests were in
vited to register their names 10 q book
prepared for that purpose. There was q
band Of music, and for those who wished
an opportunity up stairs for dancing. The
presents were characteristic OF the occa.
sion, merely for the purpose of affordiDg
amusement for the time, and we're well
calculated to produce the desired result.
The Refreshments were super. excellent
and abundant, and the occasion was one
to be enjoyed. Many OF the guests liz.
gered until the rain ceased.
