Wedding Anniversaries at Fayston.

Dea. Leonard Harrington and wife of
North Fayston were very agreeably sur
prised on the eve of January 2lst by u
number of their relatives and friends, who
without any warning whatever, invaded
their quiet domicile, took entire possession
and had things their own way. They hav-
ing laid in large supplies for the commits
sary department they dealt out rations with
an unsparing hand until all were fain to
cry, enough" After pleasant social
visit, the invaders left about ten dollars in
money to remind their host and hostess
that this was the 30th anniversary of their
marriage day.
The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs. d.
S. Stoddard of South Fayston had quietly
planned to give them genuine surprise
on the goth anniversary of their marriage.
The more easily TO carry out their plans.
the worthy couple were invited out to
meet some other friends there convened,
and they, unsuspicious of any designs
upon their household, went. In the early
evening an army of invaders, numbering
about one hundred took forcible possession
of their domcile, and after all things were
ready message was dispatched to them
that some relatives from Duxbury had
come, and their presence was desired ut
home. Somewhat 10th to break up the
pleasant party where they were visiting,
but still desiring TO give their relatives a
most hearty welcome, they started for
home. As they neared the house and saw
it brilliantly illuminated. it suddenly
occurred to Dorric that it was just twenty
years since he persuaded Diantha Dudley
to change her name to Stoddard. though
that amiable lady did not take in the situ-
alton qaitc so quickly, but when she got
into the house, she became fully convinced
that their Duxbury friends had n most
numerous family if all the laughing faces
that greeted her belonged to them. Cor
poral Stoddard protested somewhat

most gracefully when he found the invad-
ers masters of the situation.
About halfpast eight Geo. o. Boyce
called the house to order, and after sing
ing, poem was read by Miss Lucy L.
Boyce, entitled, a Seven Years Court
ship and How it Ended" which the bride
and groom thought referred to them. G
o. Boyce made brief speech, presenting
to them the contents of the table, rs a
small token of the love and good will OF
their friends, and Mr.. Stoddard responded
returning the thanks of himself and wife
in well chosen words. After these briel
services the social element again prevail.

that were passed among the crowd.
Among the presents were dozen silver
knives, q nice tea set, a pair of silver
napkin rings, brackets, vase. picture
frames, ETC., and four dollars in coin.
! At late hour the happy company dis.
persed, wishing many happy returns tc
the bride and groom of twenty years, and
that they might never be less pleasantly
surprised than at this time.

TRAIN IN OILDOM.
Ready 10 Explode the Whole Story Of the
Credit Mobllier.

[Tltusvllle (Pa.) Petroleum World.l
1t is not generally known that
George Francis Train was the orig.
inator of the Credit Mobilier, and
yet such Is the fact. He did not,
we believe, make any money out of
it, and his name was not used in
connection Herewith. After
it was pretty we'll along Train
stepped down and out, and left the
politicians to make the most of 1t.
1t has forever shelved a number Of
them. For some time back Mr..
Train has been preparing a history
of the great scheme for the columns
of the Petroleum World. On Fri.
day last Mr.. Dana offered Mr.. Train
good round figure for his manu-
script. Train would not dispose of
1t elsewhere, aud we will be ena-
bled to give 1t to our readers from
first hands.
George Francis Train, with all
his peculiarities, is one OF the most
remarkable geniuses OF the day.
He is man Of great learning and
wonderful energy. Doing nothing,
he is the busiest man in NewYOrk.
There Is scarcely q subject under
the sun with which he Is not fas
miliar. Literature, the arts and
sciences-he knows them as many
men know their A b G. He has
travelled the world over. For his
utterances he has been locked up
in the Tombs and Imprisoned in q
French bastile. His arrest In Paris
was ordered by Gsmbetta, upon
whom Rochefort, the dynamite
journalist of Paris, is now waging
bitter and vindictive warfare.
Train was at one time o man of
great wealth, owning among other
valuable properties almost the ell
tire city of Omaha. He yet has q
large income from his real estate,
some of which Is located in New
port. In 1858 James McHenry
placed at the disposal of Mr.. Train
Sl00, 900 in first mortgage bonds of
Ohio and Pennsylvania in consid-
Grafton OF the services rendered by
Train In negotiating the bonds Of
the Atlantic and Great Western
road and building the line. In ad.
ditiOn to this, McHenry engaged to
transfer to Train one-tenth Of six
tenths interest which the great
English capitalist had secured in
railroads in New York.

- The Times says that the camp
meeting which has been going on
near Santa Ana for some time past,
was closed on last Monday. This
has been one Of the most import
ant meetings ever held in this por-
ton of the county. Throughout,
it has been largely attended. not
only by Methodist people, but
members and ministers of other
denomination have participated In
the meeting, and through their
Joint efforts many of the world,
who profess no religion, have been
drawn to this place OF worship. On
last Sunday about one thousand
people were in attendance, and a
feature worthy Of remark (consid-
ering the mixed crowd) was,, that
there was perfect quiet and good
order throughout the entire time.
A great number have been added
to the Church during the course Of
this meeting.
The latest Tombstone notes come
to us in o letter written by Mr..
Myron III. Kimball to friend in
this city. Bishop Simpson and
family lad arrived in this new and
promising mining camp. While
there the Bishop preached to an
immense audience in specially
fervent and eloquent manner, and
ordained clergyman for Tomb
stone. The Messrs. Peel and Kim
ball have thrown themselves into
the business of discovering and
bonding good mines with energy
aud success. Mr.. Kimball is
about to contribute to the APP
preaching Fair mineral cabinet
which will contain valuable tpe0i.
mems from over three hundred Ari-
zOna mines. The cabinet is valued
at five Thousand dollars, and will
