February 22nd being the twenty
fifth anniversary of the wedding of our
townsman and lady, Mr.. and Mrs. Je-
rome b. Cherbino, his many friends
here and in the adjoining towns
thought proper TO join them in the Gel
ebration of the same, and 10 make il
the occasion of presenting TO them
some testimonials oft he high esteem
and regard which they cherish towards
them. Accordingly they gathered at
their residence on the evening of
that day to the number Of one hundred
or more, and were heartily welcomed,
as friends are always by the honored
host and hostess. Alter a general
greeting, Mr.. Milo Williamson of,
Cornwall, an intimate friend and part
ner Of Mr.. C%herbino's, called the COM
pany 10 order and in a few well timed
remarks presented the gifts to Mr.. and
Mrs. Chertino. They consisted of a
very fine black walnut bookcase and
secretary combined, elegantly carved,
from a New York mandatory, to Mr..
Cherbino, q black walnut stuffed
rocking chair with patent springs TO
Mrs. Cherbino. These were presented
by the company in common. A beau
tifnl and costly hanging lamp with sill

a poem composed for The occasion by
Mrs. Williamson, which was appropri-
ate and apt. a poem composed and
sent by the Rev. and Mrs. j. G..
Houghton, Of Cornwall, was then read
by Prof. Austin, of Middlebury col
1ege. This was very nicely fitted for
the time and place and was filled with
fine thoughts. After a few remarks,
Professor Austin offered a., prayer.
Then came the merry hour of refresh
ments, so necessary for the preserva-
ton of good feeling among all. Sand
witches, cake of three different makes,
cheese. pickles, ice cream, and oranges
were scattered about with bountfful
hands, enough for each, enough for all,
and it seemed it would be enough for
always. Some very fine singing by
the company helped to enliven the oc-
casion, as did the instrumental music
by Mrs. Professor Austin. The COM
pany broke up at an early hour and de-
parted, leaving earnest wishes to the
happy couple for a pleasant journey
down the now decline of life. Mr.. and
Mrs. Cherbino have resided in this
town ever since their marriage and
of the time before, and

uprightness in all matters, and especi-l
ally in charitable acts, of which many a
