Golden Wedding.

Tho golden wedding of Charles Davis and
his wife was celebrated last evening at the res
idence of the youngest daughter, Mrs. Albion
Keith, there being present all their children
and grandchildren, and most enjoyable time
they made of il. The presents we're valuable
as well as practical.
Mr.. Davis was born in this city in 1908, and
his wife "a native of Massachusetts,, was born
just eleven months to day later. They were
married by the lamented Rev. Asa Cummings,
then editor of the Christian Mirror, Mr.. Davis
being typo in the office. OF those present at
their wedding fifty years ago, but few are now
living.
Mr.. Davis is a graduate of the Portland Ga
zette office, OF the "Old Portland" The pa
per was issued weekly, the population OF the
town not being large enough to sustain daily
paper. During his apprenticeship the Gazette
changed hands several times. and after the es-
tablishment of the Portland Daily Advertiser
by Messrs. ]. g. W. e. Edwards it was merged
into that paper. At the time Mr.. Davis entered
the Office Arthur Shirley had Just sold the pa
per to Adams, Paine & Woodbury-and then
Adams & Paine, David and Seth Paine, and
Hill g. Edwards, were in turn editors and pro-
prietors; and among the able writers for the
Gazette during that time, besides the forego-
ing, were Charles S. Davies, William Willis,
W. B. Sewall and others. These have all
passed away except Mr.. Edwards and so have
about all the journeymen and apprentices in
the office except our venerable fellow-citizen,
Ira Berry, and Erastus Brooks of New York
city.
In his early married life Mr.. Davis moved to
the South and for several years resided in Sa-
vannah, Ca, where he published and was
halloween of the Savannah Daily Republican,
one of the oldest journal in that State. His
health failing he returned to his native city in
1847, and was inspector of customs during the
administrations Of Zachary Taylor and Mil
lard Fillmore. Since 1872 he has not spent
much time here, having business interests in
Massachusetts and is not now in active bust
ness. We trust both he and his devoted wife
will live too see many returns of their wedding
day. We understand they leave in q few days
for Florida, where the expect to spend the
winter, ~

Lively Runaway.

Yesterday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, horse
attached to a country mans team took fright
on Middle street and ran down the street al
full speed. In front of the Falmouth he COL
lided with wagon loaded with coke, belong
ing to the Gas Company, smashing both wag-
ons and splitting the coke all over the highway.
He then collided with Mr., d. H. Ingraham' g
victoria breaking that vehicle up and throw.
ing out the driver. The driver, however,
chung pluckily to the reins, but was compelled
to let 90, after he had been dragged short
distance, receiving severe bruises. The In
graham and Gas Company horses we're soon
caught, but the country mans horse continued
down Middle and turned into Market street,
where he smashed up Mr.. John Hobbs wagon
and was then seized before further mischief
was done. For ten minutes Middle street pre-
sented lively scene, especially when one Of
the runaways tried to take to the sidewalk.

portland cadets.

The ball given by the Portland Cadets drew
of course an audience that crowded the gal
laries and every seat on the main floor of City
Hall last evening. 1t was a very brilliant and
fashionable audience too. The hall was ele-
gantly decorated by Beal of Boston, who
furnished the decorations for the Grand Army
Fair, and they were, Of course, very elaborate.
At the back of the stage was full length
painting, representing Victory presenting the
laurel wreath, emblematic of fame, hanked on
either side by two miniature tents. Streamers
of red, white and blue depended from the
centre-pieces to either side of the ball. The
galleries and walls were adoarned with
paintings heraldic banners, red, white ard
blue drapery and glittering brilliants, taste
fully arranged.
At 730 o'clock Chambers Band rendered
the following programme in splendid style:
March Camp Plaisted). .................G rafu'la
Overture Grown Diamonds. ......,..... Amber

Before the close of the concert the distin-
guished guests entered the hall and took seats
reserved for them. Governor Plaisted was
escorted by Mayor Senter, and the members Of
his staff by the Board of Aldermen, followed
by Lieut.. Berry OF the Tilson Light Infantry
of Rockland, Col. O'Donoghue and Surgeon
Shaw of Gen. Chamberlain's staff, and the
officers of the LIST Regiment resident in Port
land At $40 the Cadets under Capt. Wins
low marched into the hall and the drill began.

music, silent bayonet exercise, the drill by the
little markers, johnson and Stillings. the fancy

ELECTED the loudest applause, we're performed
with remarkable precision, and in several in
stances with hearty encores. The little fellows
were awfnlly cunning and smart as steel
trap" while the fancy drill and the champion
eight were striking features of the evening.
AT $50 the Grand March was sounded and
from that hour until late long order of dances
was thoroughly enjoyed by the large and
elegant party who participated. The twelfth
annual ball of the Cadets can be set down as
an immense success.
