On Saturday evening" July 6, Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. Colburn of this city were agreeably sur
prised by large number of their friend. and
relatives fromSIsllowell, Gardiner, Augusta and
Lewiston, who had come to pleasantly remind
them of the twenty fifth anniversary of their mar
risge. They brought with them rich testimonials
of their friendship, in the shape of a goody num-
Der of silver presents. The evening passed away
very pleasantly. The Judge showed himself as
young as the youngest. and all appreciated the
cooling cream and rich cake served during the
evening. At a late hour good byes we're said
and the company departed with good wishes for
the happy couple in the future.
Mr. Dnglev Of this city, who badly in
iured in the store of Messrs. Leigh & Wingste
last week, is recovering, and will soon be able to
attend to business as usual.

emily irreparable damages to hay rack to which

started on rampage on his own hook. Mr.. Potter
