evening, Jan. 81, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. G..
Swan were very pleasantly reminded
that it was the 25th anniversary of their
married life by the unceremoniOus en-
trance of 60 of their friends and neigh
bOrs into their house. The host being
away for an hour, the hostess very
politely surrendered the domicil to the
invaders, who at once proceeded to
light the lamps and fires through the
house, making themselves perfectly at
home. When quiet was restored, the
silver began to be put upon the table
the sum total of presents and coin be-
ing $40. An original poem was read
by Mrs. O. r. Collins, after which the
bride and groom were congratulated by
Rev. B. 5. Adams ON their prosperity
and that they had been spared to see
the present anniversary, and that theil
friends were permitted to make them
some slight return for the many kind
nesses they had rendered to this com
munity in which they live. Miss Dora
White of Washington, then read al
original poem written for the occasion
The next in order was coffee and cake
This over j. p. Lamson, Esq, wa'
called out and in brief speech i'll be
half of Mr.. and Mrs. Swan, thanked the
company for the pleasant surprise anC
the tokens of friendship they had left
and hoped the recipients of them would
be permitted to pass the 5Oth anniver
sary of their married life.

gagged for 81 900 and there being about
$4,000 of other debts. The farm is
called a $4,000 place, but in these
times there is little hope of getting very
near those figures. We presume the
banks will lose but little by this failure,
as the well-to-do farmers of Waterford
are generally on his paper. Noonan,
his hired man, loses between one and
two thousand dollars-some say S1100,
and some $500. He had loaned all his
wages to his employer, and was just
about ready to buy farm for himself
and settle down. Report says that
Thomas Mason is in about an equal
amount, and that neighbors Kinney
Felch, Hill, Hoag, ETC., are all in for a
sum varying from a few hundred to a
thousand.

Miles Hovey's mourners met at st.

propositions to Nh. Hovey looking
towards paying per cent, and they
would probably have taken 25 per cent,
but he would not commit himself to it.
Their effort is now being directed to
have all the creditors come in to this
arrangement: Mr.. and Mrs. Hovey to
quit claim the farm and all the personal
property to an assignee, including an
hundred acre lot decided to Mrs. Hovey,
which the creditors are to take, and
give back in money the $500 right of
homestead. There is little expectation
that this will net them even 25 per
cent. of their claims, as the debts amount
to about S23, 00O-the farm being mort
