DIR. j. S. Petrie and wife celebrated
the twentieth anniversary OF their we'd
ding day on Monday by entertaining
number Of their friends in most delight
full manner 1t was the china wedding and
we presume that the family was amply
supplied with articles appropriate to the
occasion. There is very noticeable and |
certainly not very commendable neglect on |
the part Of the married people of our city
in the observance of the various anniversa-
ries of what should always be known as |
the happiest day of their lives. The neglect |
is objectionable. No good reason can be
given why the wedding day should not be
celebrated in some way in the poorest of
families No matter how poorly the de-
monstration may be, it will yet have the
effect Of frightening tho home: Of binding |
more closely, il possible, the hearts of the
family circle and reviying the affections,
which have in some cases, probably, been
allowed to wane. For the benefit OF all |
married people, we give in conclu-
sion, the names and time of the various
wedding anniversaries in the hope that
there may &c closer and more general
observance of that most important day in
life The following are the time and
names of the wedding anniversaries First
year, cotton second paper; third, leather;
fifth, wooden seventh, wooden; tenth, tin:
twelfth, silk; fifteenth, crystal; twentieth,
china; twenty-fifth, silver; thirteth, pearl;
Iortlcth, golden, seventy-ffth. diamond.

It out and keep it for reference.
There is very great and unnecessary
waste of human happiness in supersensi-
live people, They are better known per
laps as "touchy" people They are not
)nly too quick to construe an intended
INTO an insult, concerning them
selves, but are very frequently getting
hurt when nobody was bothering them
It all. Editors, perhaps, come in contact ,
WITH tins dcplorable malady more than any
'lher class because OF the middle position I
hey occupy between individuals and the
great indefinite something called the
'publc'-as though the public was com q
'oScd OF some other material than the indj
ldual. An editor is supposed (by these
representative lolks) to know the private
history and conscience Of everybody and the =
Xact application and bearing his every :,
emark will have on each individual SO :,
nat when he writes paragraph that is
almost bIuntcd to dullncss in striving TO
make 1t a paragon Of generality as to an.
his complaccncy is completely
ratified by the advent of a "touchy" per. =
'on, who perceives in it a thrust at HIM.

lines thought that these good people laid V
