Golden Wedding.

The golden wedding of MT. and Mrs. A. B. Clark, of Millstone, N. J., will be appro- priately celebrated to-day. Mir. and Mrs. Clark are the parents of Mrs. Rev. N. l.. Garfield of New Haven. Mir. and Mrs. Gar field have gone to Millstone to participate in the festivities. May their golden anticipa- tions be fully realized.
 The subjoined poem, which is truly appro- priate, is the work of one of the craft, A. l.. Childs, Esq, of the Seneca county Nesos. You and to night, amid the golden light,
 With fifty years of welded life now crowned; The dear ones here rejoicing in the sight
 Bear heartfelt thanks, while words of love abound Your golden wedding comes with glad surprise, k On wings of love the years have travelled fast, And every golden link of memory ties
 The blessed present with the precious past. With songs of praise, the songs of other days
 Come back through echoes of these fifty yearsli The treasured memories in a thousand ways
 Are borne upon the sounds that greet your ears How many back along ife's beaten track.
 Started with joy when you in love were wed, Meeting the Great Destroyer's cold attack,
 And now numbered with the silent dead! Among ten thousand you are favored onesI
 Your hour-g of life with golden sands Sparkes with hope, and still the current runs,
 While you in love still clasp your loving hands.
  And yet these hands have never lost their hold Full fifty winters OCT yonr heads have passed,
 Yet warm affection never groweth cold. What though Oneida's hills were capped with snow The sweet Verona flower bloomed with grace, And charmed this groom of fifty years ago
 With love that passing years can ne'er enace. Many of Brainerd stock, comedy, fair,
 Daughter of ''Israel," chosen one, to you Was granted with manly heart to share The joys and sorrows of your whole life through The little daughters whom you trained aright Have grown to womanhood and bless you here; That little son whose presence gave delight In manhood loves his parents to revere One daughter weds s.King, yet none the less Is every of royalty the heir. Most joyfu1ly to night they all confess In fathers and in mothers love they share. Your childrens children, too surround your chairs Bringing their incense sweet to soothe your cares With reverence and kind regard to you. Your blooming spring of life indeed is gone,
 And summer with it's blessings could not stay, But you have reached at last the golden dawn That brings the gorgeous Indian summer day. The golden sheaves of treasured hopes seen, And hearts and hopes and home are richly blest While to contented spirits, calm, serene, The promise comes of final heavenly rest. God bless this family group as now they meet,
 Wishing 'much joy" to bride and groom of old May all united walk with gladsome feet
 That home above where streets are paved with gold

The High school Fire.

The Loss about 93,00O-The Repatrs-l working all saturlay Night-schoot
 To-day as Usual.
 The loss by the High School fire Saturday night will not probably much exceed $3yOoo. The fire was discovered at about seven o'clock The janitor, MT. w. H. Clark, who was about the building attending to his work, having returned after short absence, dis covered flames and smoke in Vice Principal Whitmore's room, which is on the first floor
 He tried to put out the fire with the school hose and finding the attempt useless rushed out crying fire. Soon two boxes were pnlled, boxes 2I3 and 52. The fire department was quickly on hand and after about 20 minutes the fire was subdued. The whole building was filed with smoke and matters looked pretty serious. Hundreds of people had soon collected and there was considerable ex- citement for few minutes. The fire, it was at first thought, originated in Mir. Whitmore's way. The front part is fitted up with desks for recitation room, while the rear portion | is the school laboratory, in which are kept all ! the usual appliances for chemistry. large ! amount of chemicals for experimenting pur- poses, consisting of acids of various kinds, ! all the nitrates, sulphates, the combinations of potassium, phosphorus, etc., were in 8 \ case which stood very near register. The
 fire originated in this locality, but an investi- gation made yesterday by various prominent gentlemen led them to the opinion that the fire started from the hot air Hue. The case containing the chemicals was charred entirely from below and not in the upper parts, indi- eating that the fire came from underneath it.
 Several members of the Board of Education came to the fire. MT. M. Zunder was one of I the first to reach the premises and took charge of the schools property until the ar- rival of President H. M. Welch and despatched hacks for Messrs Parish and Day
 and sent also for Mir. Whitmore, pal Curtiss and Mr. Gile of the Board were also at the fire. All felt deeply that it was much cause for congratulation that the fire had not started at late hour at night, in
 which case the loss of property to the city | would have been serious and the school sadly interrupted. By advice of Chief Hendrick a
 couple of policemen were detailed to watch the building, ready to give 8 new alarm in case the fire should chance to break out
 again. Carpenters were placed at work and
 were busy all night repairing the flaws where
 holes had been cut to let off the water, and
 to repair the window frames which had been
 broken. Women were at work all day yes-
 terday also restoring the premises to their
 usual state of cleanliness and everything we
 learn from Mir. Zunder, is in readiness fol
 resumption of school this morning at nine
 o'clock. Room No. ? not being in condition
 for school the scholars attending in that
 room will be distributed in rooms 1, and f,
 and the night school will go on this evening
 as usual, with no interruption. The loss ii
 covered by insurance, distributed among
 twenty-seven companies.

A Taxation Question.

The HIutual Benefit Associations and the
 Bin Before tho LeGfslature-A Lively
 Legislative Hearing Expected.
 As has been stated bill is before the Leg islature to subject to taxation mutual benefit associations connected with the various secret orders, Masonic, Odd Fellow, Knights of Honor, Knights of Pythias, and place them on the same footing in that respect with life insurance companies. Much opposition to it is aroused among these important bodies, and l the view is entertained among those promi- nently identified with the organizations that the bill will fail to pass and be summarily re- jected The societies will be ably represent ed at the hearing. MT. Botsford, MT. I Moses, Secretary Waldron, J. K. Bundy, Secretary W. A. Beers, Grand Dictator Frank D. Sloat and other gentlemen will take steps to oppose the bill, and they will probably make matters lively before the committee. | At the annual meeting of the Governors s Guard Mutual Benefit association, held Fri day night, the subject was discussed and c. E. Fowler and J. W. s. Peck were author ized to go before the committee and oppose the passage of the bill. The Knights o1 Honor, Masons, Odd Fellows, United Order
 American Mechanics, Knights of Pythias, the IT. o. B. B. and the various Catholic benevo
 lent associations will unite in fighting the bill
 The following petition has been set in circu
 Iation, started Saturday afternoon:
