About seventy-tive of the friends
and relatives of Mr.. Jacob Dutton and
wife gave them an agreeable surprise
last Wednesday afternoon, reminding
them that it was their fiftieth anniver-

dozen silver knives and forks. Appro-
pirate remarks were made by the Rev.

"PiIgri,nage OfIhe Funny Man.

Robert j. Burdette, the humorist of
the Burlington Hawkeye, appears in
the course this Friday evening. He is
not Il stranger To the st. bloomsbury
people, and on two or more occasions
he has lectured here delighting large
audiences by his genial humor and wit
ty sallies ut the foibles of the day.
Burdette's humor is always clean and
high-toned. He never prostitutes his
powers of ridicule to an ignOble pur-
pose. The shams and vices of the age
are punctured with clean-cut sarcasm.
aud it cannot he said of him, as of most
humorists, that his humor is demoral
ling. His writings contain much that
is helpful, and he thus reaches "A class
that is not often reached through other
agencies. While his mission is to make
people laugh, he is making the world
better for his living in it, 1t is safe to
say that those who attend will find him
an agreeable travelling companion as
they accompany him on his pilgrim

A Religious Awakening.

The Conference of New England
Christian Workers, held in this place
last week, eliminated ON Saturday and
Sunday evenings in mass meetings of
marked religious interest and power,
from one hundred to one hundred and
fifty people, mostly young men and
young women, either surrendering
themselves to the Lord or rising and
asking an interest in the prayers of
Christian people. 1t was the spectacle
of seven years ago repeated. There
were the same persuasive and tender
appeals from the men from Massachu-
sets whom this people have so learned
to love and esteem, and the same ready
response ON the part of their hearers.
This marked manifestation of the pres
ence of the Holy Spirit is just what the
Christian people have been praying
for, yet they are led to exclaim, "This
is the Lords doing, and it is marvel
lOus in our eyes"

cluded. In the effort to ride all o.
these horses, the hall rider is likely to
be thrown.
Nevertheless, a cOmmOdious room for
lectures, concerts, mass meetings, etc,
is a great want in this place. The Cal
edOnidn feels it has done its duty in di-
recting attention frequently to this
want. Generous men have made gen
erOus offers looking to the relief of the
place in this regard. If hall accommO-
datiOns are not secured now, where will
the blame rest

At the town meeting held last week
it was voted to raise fifty cents on a
dollar of the grand list, twenty-five
cents being for town expenses, ten
cents for state tax, nine cents for state
school tax, and six cents for a cOntin-
gent fund. The per cent raised last
year was lS2. The collector was in
structed to collect the balance of S. S.

Wednesday, the 9th inst, was the

Spring with its bursting buds and flowers.
And summers richer bloom,
And autumn's fruit aud falling leaf,
Precede the winters gloom:
80 youth bright spring time summers flowers
anu autumn 3 dreamy weather
Have come and gone since hand in hand
These two have walked together.
Sunshine and shadow joy and grief
Alternate hopes aud fears.
Have mingled in their welded life
Now numbering fifty years;
But strong and true, when in youth
Their VOWS Of love they plighted
They stand tonight with faith unchanged,
And heart to heart united.
And gather here tonight
With golden gift and greeting
In thought again they travel DER
The tfty years hoeting;
Again they feel each added ioy
The parent heart possessing,
I'LL eight dear children fill their home
With love and care and blessing.
They watch again with anxious hearts
Beside the couch of pain,
Trembling lest some dear blessing lent
Should be recalled again;
But far beyond the Golden Gate
That shuts from mortal view,
trio watches DER this scene
To love and memory true
Again with mingled grief and Joy
They bid kind farewell
As one by one their treasures pass
To other homes to dwell
Some, lingering 'mOngst their native hills
Make glad this season bright,
And some from distant prairie homes
Send greetings home tonight.
And often echoes through this home
Their childrens children tread
The crown of glory God bestows
Upon the aged head
And though. perchance in life's young morn
Some clouds Obscured their way
They only make the sun more bright
As nears the close of day
And as the wheels of time roll round
May each succeeding year
Bring added joys and blessings still
To crown their path way here
And when at last lifes labors past
They lay their armOr down.
May they with joy exchange earth's cross
For heavens immortal crown.

Attempted BurgIaries.

On Saturday evening the office OF
Charles S. Hastings, cashier of the st. j.
< l.. c. X. X. Co., was entered, in
gress being effected by cutting hole
some fifteen inches square through
the partition from the hallway. They
pried open the cash drawer with cold
chisel, which was empty, the chisel be-
ing found on the counter. They open
ed several other drawers, which they
found unlocked, but their search prov
ed unavailing. They were undoubted-
ly amateurs, as to have removed the
panels in the door would have been Il
much easier way to effect an entrance.
An attempt was also made to enter
the postotfice through the rear door
opening on Eastern avenue, by cutting
out the door-panels, which was not
completed. As the postmaster's dog
was in the office over night it is
thought that his barking must have
frightened them away.
