The residence of Mr.. Dorr Benson
of Andover was the scene of a brilliant
party, Tuesday evening of last week.
Ladies' and gentlemen to the number OF
about one hundred assembled TO cele-
brate with Mr.. and Mrs. Benson the 10th
anniversary of their marriage. As Mr..
d. was born and brought up in this place
the village was well represented. The
spacious house was lighted up from cell
lar to garnet. Music was provided and
the light fantastic toe was tripped by fair
msidens and comely matrons, led by gay
youth and sober manhood; while others,
whose inclinations led into different
channels, enjoyed themselves in vocal
music and social Intercourse, and every
thing went right merrily until supper
was announced, and bountiful collation.
was served, after which the merry-making
was resumed until the never falling clock
upon the mantle would persist in striking
the "little ones" At this juncture ice
cream was served to the entire party.
Obeying the summons of the usher, one
OF the upper psrlors was soon filled to
over fl owing, also the entry. In the
centre OF the room stood table laden
with costly presents, formal presenta-
ton of which was now made TO the host
aud hostess In behalf of those present by
Mr.. G.. T. Shanks of this place, to which
Mr.. Benson happily responded. Among
the presents was very beautiful silver
cake basket, a silver castor, beautiful
glass pickle dish with silver holder and
fork, solid black walnut carved what
not, three lamps, a pair of vases and
number of gold and silver coins, &C., &c,

the base, and an immense tin jews-harp
The speaker in his brief presentation re-
marks, humorousIy referred to these,
saying "that Mr., Benson, being very
modest man his friends had thought best
TO remind him that in the present age II
was very necessary that man should dc
some blowing for himself, and had thus
provided him the means whereby be
could, judging from the size of the horn
do some efIectual blowing" And taking
up the jews.harp, said at had been re
lated that Ia the days Of his boyhood
after receiving the reproof or correction
common for boys TO receive from the pa
ternal ancestor, be had been known tC
seek consolation Ia some secluded spot II
playing the jews-harp, and this was pres
ented as reminder OF those days" TIT
whole affair proved very pleasant to all
and not until the gray dawn Of morning
did the party break up.
