About nine o'clock last evening q
party numbering about 10 persons,
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. w. Ellis,
called very uncsremoniously at their
residence, No. G09 Poplar street, and sta
tioning themselves in front Of the door,
commenced singing "Shall we meet
beyond the river" which soon brought
the occupants Of the house to the door.
Surprise and establishment were de-
picted upon their countenance and for
a time they were the willing captives
Of the situation. They were soon in
formed hoy ever that q few others be-
side themselves had become aware that
Il was the date Of their 5th anniversary
of their marriage and the visitors had
come to pay greeting to the event.
After few preliminary congratulations
the choir of the "Household Of Faith"
of which Mr.. Ellis il leader, led in sing
ing, after which prayer was offered by
Mr.. Charles Betelle. The company then
took possession Of the house for the
time being, aud innocent amusements
were taken part in and seemingly en-
joyed BY all until the night was far
spent when they returned to their sew
eral homes satisfied that the surprise
had been q complete one. Many kind
wishes and valuable and useful presents
were left behind "a tokens Of esteem
and to encourage the happy couple or
their onward journey.
