A GOLDEN WEDDING.

On Saturday, Nov. 1, at the residence
of J. G. Robinson Esq, in Holland, oc-
CURED one of those pleasant reunions:
A Golden Wedding; being the ceIebra-
ton of the fiftieth anniversary of the
marriage of Mr.. J. G. Robinson, and
Miss Mary Fletcher. About forty of
the relatives and friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Robinson assembled at their house
early in the afternoon. After a few
hours pleasantly spent in social inter-
course and singing, prayer was offer
ed by Rev. Mr.. Blake. Hon, John
NJ. Bartlett Of Wisconsin with some
verv appropriate and happy remarks,
then presented TO the young couple the
numerous presents that had been pro-
vided for them by.their friends. Mr..
Robinson responded for himself and
wife. After which, he gave some remi-
niscences of the early days Of the town,
of which we give few extracts.
Mr.. Robinson said his fathers family
moved from Connecticut to Holland in
E1002, and settled in the south part OF
the town near the other two families
who then comprised the whole popu.
lation. There were then no worked
roads in the town. Each settler struck
off into the forest by foot-paths OF
"b!azed" trees and made his pitch
wherever the land best suited him
The town settled rapidly until the
breaking cut Of the war of 1912. Be
ing frontier town and wholly unpro
tected, most of its inhabitants left, ant
many OF them never returned. Mean
: time their farms were unoccupied ant
, their clearings grew up to bushes
About 20 years after the warclosed, on
r of these refugees, a Mr.. Batchelder, VIII
t lived on what is now known as tn
| Jonathan Hall farm, visited Hollau,
! and traded his farm for a horse, Dun
! ing his absence a fine crop of secon

SHALL WE HAVE 4 FIRE COM
PANY3

The necessity for organized work
in case of fire is growing more and
more apparent at every temperance
of the fire fiend. 1t has been noticed
that on every occasion of this kind our
people exhibit remarkable zeal and
courage and willingness to do anything
possible for the relief of the uniortu-
nate whose property is being destroy
ed. But each from necessity goes to
work in his own way and all fall TO
work in an irregular manner without
contributing to any general design
thus instantly putting in operation as
many inconsistent systems as there are
persons present. II there chance to be
there one or more cool men who can
zee plan in which if all were to act
in concert the property could be care
fully saved both from the fire and the
furious misguided zeal of the workers
they have no opportunity to put it in
to operation. In the excitement nc
one looks for leader, and in the con
fusion no wise, cool suggestion cal
command even attention. ALI are viii
ling but each acts on a plan en-
tirely inconsistent with every Other
mans, and the occasion is past be
fore any cool enquiry occurs as tC
what ought to have been done. New
all this would be obviated by q well
disciplined Hook and Ladder company
under the command of some cool prac
teal man who would quickly conceive
and put into operation All eifectiv
method of saving the property. II
nine cases out Of ten he would adop
such Il course aS cool reason would no
criticise even after the occurrence. II
any event, We should have less hal
burnt and half demolished buildings
. and less furniture and other propert
destroyed by violence and i'll all prot
ability, this, with our splendid ny
drants, aud the immense water powe
just being completed, would effect
great reduction from our presen
enormous rates Of insurance. Wha
say you who are interested in the>
matters?

THE POEM.

a pleasant greeting friends and neighbors
As We meet together here
To celebrate the wedding day
OF these our parents dear.
Fifty years ago dear mother,
You, bride, was young and gay;
But no dearer to our father,
Than you are TO him to day.
Though perhaps your face was fairer,
And no silver in your hair;
Father too was straight and eomely,
On his brow no trace of care.
But the years have touched you lightly
On the way as they have sped;
And we scarcely can believed it,
Half a century has fed
W! remember well our childhood,
And have thought it DER and DER;
Would we tould roll back the years
And be children evermorel
How we loved that darling sister,
Only those who know can tell;
But she passed through deaths dark portal,
And with Jesus went to dwell.
And the Uncles, Aunts and Cousins
We have often met before
Some of them have crossed the river,
They are on the other shore
And the dear ones that are left us,
That long years views loved and known
How to-day we love them better,
They have nearer, dearer grown.
As we look upon their faces
Falling tears we scarce restrain;
| For we think perhaps that never
| Shalt we meet on earth again.
Father, Mother dear, we thank you,
But we never can repay
All the loving, tender kindness
You have shown us day by day.
We have brought you golden presents,
But we know they'll not compare
With the crowns, and hlrps, and mansions
Which await you over there.
May OOU flCueSl CuOlCSSt plcSslllSo
Evcrnore rest down onyyou;
May your bible be our guidebook,
And your Saviour be ours too.
But the sun Is slowly sinking,
} o! the hours have down 80 fast;
Soon this day will be as others
Ever buried in the past.
In the past but may Its memory
Like blessed halo light,
Help us ever in lite's pathway,
shun the wrong, and choose the right.
Help us join in realms of glory,
As we see the great AM:
All the dear ones gone before us
l At the marriage of the Lamb.
