SILVER WEDDING.

A party of friends and neighbors, old
and young, amounting in numbers to sew
euty-tive, assembled at Mr. Hugh NJ. Cam
eron's residence. near Zion, on the evening
of the Gath, 20 celebrate the twenty-ffIb
anniversary of their marriage.
1t was hardly the surprise that was in
,nded, for some one had kindly y, sent
them postal, with the words, Hold the
fort for we are coming" Notwithstanding
one awaited them.
About nine o'clock, Mr.. w. walked in
the parIor and placed stand before the
bride and groom. Mr.. NJ followed, bear
ing waiter, on which was arranged a hand
some silver tea set.
Rev. Mr.. Johns stepped forward and
presented it to the astonshed recipients,
in the name of those present, as token OF
their respect and appreciation Of MIR. and
Mrs. c., as neighbor and friend. After
they had expressed their thanks, few
verses of the familiar hymn, shall we
gather at the River" were sung, followed
by an appropriate prayer.
While they crowded around the stand,
some of the ladies' were busy in the dining
room, arranging Il table of refreshments
to which every one did ample Justice.
AS time waits for no man, so it did no,
delay that night, and the hours seemed al
too short for the merry company who were
| loath to leave, yet knowing they ought moi
| to trespass on Sabbath hours, and must no
| be late at church on Sabbath morning.
| We imagine Mr.. and Mrs. G. feel very
happy to have their friends remember then
thus but we think the JOY of the donors il
| greater. and know the pleasure of tina
evening will long be remembered, togethe
with the many good wishes for the futur
welfare of their mutual friends-Mr. ant

hauled six miles and dropped in the rows
between the hills of corn aud potatoes, and
produced a luxuriant growth; but the ma
nure was not lasting, and the offensive
smell, and annoyance from dogs and crows
tearing them up, caused the use of behring's
as Il manure to be abandoned.
During an active fishing season the most
exaggerated reports were in circulation,
and | heard an old fisherman say. that there
were more lies told during the fishing sea-
son than in all the rest of the year. The
roads to the fisheries were thronged with
teams, and among them the large Conestoga
wagons, with powerful horses and heavy
harness, and ringing bells above the col
lars. The price of behring's was frequently
AS low as one dollar per thousand, and the
price of shad at Bulls Mountain. for a
number of years, was six dollars per hun
drei.
The herring is the ciupea harengus, in the
language of Linuaus, and is too familiar to
require a description. Its power of pro
creation is most extraordinary. The inven-
tion of picking behring's is ascribed to one
Beukels. a Dutchman, who died in 1897.
His grave was visited by the Emperor
Charles V. and a magnificent tomb was
erected by that prince to his memory.

this time no very great quantity of the

We have noticed several wagons vending
their way toward the scene of operations
but on account of the slow catch, they
seem to be slow returning.

OUR FISHERMEN.
Many of our fishermen left for the fish

exists among them for the honor of taking
the first shad of the season. The proprie

of five dollars for the first five shad taken
in Elk river.

Judge Davis could no error make,
He was too pure man;
The Demmies would have had the stake
Without 'partisan."
Our picture represents the game,
The party emblems too:
The rooster slightly known to fame,
In attitude "too blue
The "seven in the Rebel field
Alas they found too late;
Was by the rules of whist TO yield
Unto the Union eight
The spade symbolic of the grave
For Democratic rest;
The club that beat their little game
Will by all men be best.
For our President has said,
Come, now, let's stop the fight;
Let passions in the grave be laid,
And every one do right"
Let's be as brothers, all "well met"
And you shall surely see,
That of our new made Cabinet,
I'll trust you with the "Eey."

Or you will surely rue it;

We knew too much: were "up to Snuif, -
And while intent to cheat and steal,

We quietly began to deal.
They changed the game from bluff to whist
Because they found bluff wouldn't pay;
And on the game did SO insist,
Aud forced us 'gainst our will to play.
Then Hail Columbia Happy Land,
How they did fret and swear;
Judge DAVIS did not get Il hand,
Which made the game to them unfair.
But still they had to play the hand,
Aud to dire distress were driven;
They cried and yelled throughout the lane
That the " eight spot beats the seven
They knew it well enough before,
Then why uneasy feel;
They shutfled, cut. and forced the score,
But they didn't have the deal.
They charged corrupt conspiracy
And treachery in the land,
