, of very pleasant company assembling al
the residence OF DR.. j. w. Stark to celebrate
the forty-ift annsversary Of the mar.
raige of L. s. Walker and wife. parents
of Mrs, Stark, Miss Fl. e. Walker and
Chas. L. Walker. After mutual congrat-
ulations Mr., C. e. Stodddard on behalf oil
the friends. in few and we'll chosen re-
marks presented the aged and now feeble
itinerant with = very handsome easy
chair, and Mrs. Walker With an eleRan,
silver pickle castor, which was respoude ed
to by father Walker not by eloquent words
as they once flowed from bis lips, but with
heart that could not find expression
through feeble lips.
After partaking OF a sumptious
supper prepared By the lady of the
house, the evening was spent
by relating incidents of fifty Ave years
ago; Of how the young preacher harnsssed
his horse ut Irquois. on the Irquois river
aud started for Oregon, on Rock river,
facing storms and fording swollen streams
till he reached Rock river, where he was
obliged to abandon bis horse and cross on
the floating ice. He was all safe till be
