CHINA WEDDING.

Last Fridry evening the spacious parlors
of the Occidental Hotel were filed to their
utmost capacity by the many friends of
Prof. Jos. Emery and his estimable wife,
the occasion being the twentieth anniversary
of their marriage The affair had been
kept, SO far as possible, a secret from the
parties, and although not a perfect surprise
yet SO little of the nature and extent of
the party was known to the interested par
ties as to make the evening very pleasant
one to all who were present. About $50
the guests were invited to the dining room
where a splendid lunch with coffee was
served. After the guests had assembled in
the dining hall the Professor and wife were
conducted to large extension table placed
in the center of the room, and loaded with
the presents of the evening, conspicuous
among which was a magnificent china din
ner set, a joint present from a large number
of friends This set was presented to the
Professor and wife by Judge Chenoweth
with pleasing and appropriate remarks, to
which Prof Emery responded in few well
chosen words, expressing not only his
thanks for the munificent gift, but also his
high appreciation of the people of Corvallis,
by whom he had been so pleasantly sur
rounded for so long time. After lunch a
short time was spent in pleasant conversa-
ton, and all went home well pleased. May
Prof. Emery and wife long remain in our
midst, and may they live to celebrate their
golden wedding.
