DR. and Mrs. w. w. HIbben's silver
Wedding.

DIR. and Mrs. w. w. Hibben's Silver
One of the most successful and en-.
joYable parties which have been given
here was held on Saturday evening, the
Sth, at the spacious residence of Dr. and
Mrs. W. w. Hibben, for the purpose OF
celebrating the twenty fifth anniversary
of their marriage. The day had been
cloudy, but the evening turned out clear
and fine, and there was large attend
ance. The guests began arriving about
half-past seven, and from that time until
nine a constant succession of arrivals
filled the house. The accommodations
for the entertainment were very CON-
plete. One parlor was stripped of its
furniture and carpet and devoted to
dancing, and here the merry strains of
violins in the skillful hands of Messrs.
BIrdsall and Hopkins were heard, and
very lively and pleasant dances were car
ried on the entire evening until mid
night. Two other parlors were also full
Of guests, and in the rear parlor were ar
rayed the presents, presenting a very at
tractive appearance, and being the sub
ject of continual inspection and admira-
ton. We give the list below. There
was very nice variety, and every arti-
Gle was elegant and appropriate. The
host and hostess received the hearty con-
CALCULATIONS of the company, and num-
berless good wishes for their continued
prosperity and happiness. About ten
O'Clock the dining room doors were
thrown open, and the guests sat down to
a splendid supper-a repast which did
infinite credit to Mrs. Hibben's culinary
skill, and has never been surpassed on
any occasion we have had the pleasure
of attending.
Gilchriest & Fritz, and Mr.. Burns
kept their carriages running, and the
omnibus was also on service through the
evening, affording comfortable transpor
portation going and returning. The easy
and cordial manner which the guests
were received and entertained made all
feel at home and acquainted, and the par.
ty broke up at midnight, all agreeing
that it was one of the most social and
successful wedding parties in their expe.
rience. We congratulate DR.. and Mrs
Hibben on the entire success OF this an
niversary celebration, and wish that
time may touch them so lightly that their
golden wedding may be among the events
that are to come. The presents were as
