The citizens of this town to the num-
Der of sc, assembled at the residence of
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Goodrich, on Fri
day evening of week before last, it being
the thirty fifth anniversary of their mar
riage, to express their feelings of esteem
and of obligation for benefits received in
times of sickness and bereavement, for
sympathy in days of sorrow and Attic
ton, and for all those acts of kindness
that come from one whose happiness
consists in the happiness of others, and
whose greatest joy is in self-denial, sac
rifce and duty. The motives which
prompted the gathering gave character
to the occasion. 1t was time long to
be remembered. The social interview,
the luxurious entertainment, the tokens
left behind, together with the circum-
stances of the occasion, moved the hearts
of Mr.. and Mrs. Goodrich to feelings of
the deepest emotion and gratitude which
they desire to express by one present.
