China Wedding.

On Friday evening last, Notwithstanding
the inclemeut weather, the portals Of the
spacious residence of DIR. and Mrs. Shoe
maker were thrown wide open To friends.
The occasion was the twentieth anniver-
sary OF their marriage-their China We'd
ding Day, and was celebrated inan appro-
pirate manner by rom Que hundred to
one hundred and fifty guests. The pro-
gramme OF the evening was one OF general
enjoyment. The evening was most pleas
antly passed in congratulations to bride
and groom, social conversation and games,
music, and in discussing splendid sup
per. Also. a serensde from Meinie's Band
and recitation by Miss Lillian Chase,
added to the enjoyment of che evening,
and especially were the guests entertained
by Miss Chase, who rendered selection
in her usual lively way. As an elocution-
ist and character reader Miss Chase
stands high, and we are pleased to hear
that her efforts are appreciated by crowded
houses wherever she appears. The gener-
Gus hospitality OF DIR. and Mrs. Shoemaker
is noted far and near, and never had guests
more enjoyment than at their silver we'd
ding, and with one accord all join in wish
| ing them a continued life of health and
prosperity, so that they may celebrate
many more anniversaries of their wedding
day. The presents were numerous and
exceedingly fine. We append list:
