The friends of A. B. Rich and wife.
to the number of about fifty. gave them
surprise on Monday last-it being the
tenth anniversary of their wedding-by
going up there en- masse with their bags
and baskets and taking possession of
their dwelling. The tables were spread
with rich and bountiful repast and a
goodly display of presents. The famous
Foster tin horn Give feet in lengthy was
made to discourse its melodies when the |
procession arrived in sight of the house,
and Austin, who was busily engaged IN
back room painting buckets, came
rushing out with his hands and clothes
beautifully adorned with Venetian red
and linseed oil, telling his wife that
some Of the neighbours buildings were on
FIRE, as he could hear the horn blowing.
| Both rushed to the door when, instead of
the expected fire, they beheld the smiling
faces of large company of friends, who
at once marched in and run household
matters to their liking (Which liking
conferred upon the oysters) until evening.
The gifts were presented in an appropri-
ate manner by Mr.. S. N. Clark. The
occasion was highly enjoyable to all
present. At an early hour, with mutual
| good wishes and congratulations, the
company left for their homes, feeling that
such gatherings were promoters of social
and kindly feelings among neighbors and
friend. ONE Who Was THERE.
