Legislative Notes and Gossip.

The Kennebec County Delegation, after
several full hearings, have decided that the
salaries of most of the county officers are al
ready sufficiently low. and no cut-down will
be recommended. They, however, recon-
mend a reduction in the pay Of County Com
missioners from So to $3.50 per day, and
mileage from IL cents to 10 cents. The del
egatiOn are in favor of the utmost possible
economy in the county expenditures, and it
will be gratifying to the taxpayers of kenne-
bee to know that the county estimates, which
were last year $40, 600. will be cut down this
wear to $50. OO0-a saving Of more than seven
thousand dollars. The salary of the Superior
Judge is still under advisement.
The delegation of Lincoln county have had
under consideration the reduction of salaries
of officers in that county, and voted to report
that the salary of the Judge of Probate. which
is now $780, be placed at $500: County At
torney, now $500, to $3.50; Register of Pro-
bate, now $3.50, to $500; County Commits
sioners So per day, instead of $3.50, and eight
cents per mile travel each way.

A Golden Wedding at Spadra,
SPADRA, May II, 1879.

SPADRA, May II, 1879.
VIM. Wiley Rubottom, proprle-
tor of the Rubottom House, aged
seventy years, and his two years
younger wife, who, when he won
her, bore the name of Sarah Ann
Edwards, had the rare felicity of
celebrating their golden wedding
last evening, In the enchanted val
ley of Spadra. At dusk over one
hundred and fifty relatives and in
vited guests were assem- bled, and
found ample accommodation and
more than even wonted welcome in
the spacious rooms and cool corri-
dors Of the Rubottom House.
Four generations of the family
were represented. OF the first, the
bridegroom, younger in appear.
ance than many a man of forty,
and his bride, fairer in the chiseled
lineaments of kindly character
than ever youth could have made
her; Elijah Belts, ESQ long
known to public life in Los Ange-
les, and Mrs. Susan Rubottom, rep
resenting the second generation; of
the third, Mrs. E. M. Ross, Mrs. B.
f. Drakenfeld and Mrs. A. M. Law
renee, all Of Los Angeles; Mr.. and
Mrs. Kewen Dorsey, of Spadra, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Jefferson Greemade,
OF Pomona; while three beautiful
little children represented the
fourth generation.
The family RibIe was prodooed
and Prof. Martling read to the
couple and their guests the record
of marriage and poem which may
ne found IN another column. Four
maidens arrayed In white then
sang an appropriate hymn, after
which came the congratulations,
and the bridal party passed to the
supper room under /. shower Of rose
leaves.
Such supper! Have you ever
eaten in the Ruboltom House. If
not, you should repair the omission
speedily that you may have some
s'aA bottch ~ thO oLh Ptu'aSA ACoot
Of the mountains of bridal cake,
adorned with emblems aud dates;
Of the gigantic turkeys, fat and sue
cuient aud brown; of the wines,
such as maketh glad the heart oi
man; of the golden oranges of the
valley, fit fruit for a golden wed
ding. Such table, surrounded by
gravity and beauty, may be pic
tured; but not the genial glow, the
smiles, the laughter, the wisdom
aud the wit, wherein youth came
again to the hostess and the host.
After supper the dining hall
was cleared, the vio!ins were
tuned, the musicians-the chief,
bent and gray, fit model
for Allan a Dale-called youth and
beauty around them, and the fes-
tivities eliminated in a dance,
which lasted till the fading of the
stars.
To Andrew Caldwell, our popu-
lar merchant, is due praise with
out stint for such admirable ad-
justment of the guests at table,
that there was neither Stiffness nor
friction. He is born executive.
