SILVER wEpDING-BErHEL.

The twenty-ffth anniversary Of the mar.
riage OF Rev. S. l.. Bowler and wife was
celebrated by the members Of his church
and congregation, at his residence, on Sat-
urday evening, May IL
A very large company assembled, and
the house was completely filed. Ad-
dresses of congratulation were made by
Abner Davis, esq, aud Hon. Euoch Foster
and magnificent cake, wreathed in flow.
ers and crowned with twenty-five silver
dollars, was presented to the pastor and
his estimable lady.
Mr.. Bowler returned thanks to the COM
psny for their kind wishes and congratu-
lations, and in the course of his remarks
referred most happily to the success of
his own married life, and the great advan-
tages matrimony presented to all.
Some very pithy and entertaining letters
Of congratulstion from friends in other
parts of the State, were read for the ben
eft of the audience, showing the high es-
timation in which Mr.. and Mrs. Bowler
are held in other places than Bethel.
A bountiful supper was provided, and
served by the ladies'; and entertainments
of various sorts made the evening pass
most pleasantly. Prominent among these
was poem, written for the occasion, by
Mrs. A. +. Herrick, which was read by
Miss Philbrick. The conception of this
poem was most delicate and appropriate,
and 1t was finely written. It's rendering
by Miss Philbrlck was no less delicate and
effective. A recitation by Miss Parker, is
worthy Of especial mention. The selec.
ton was The Ferry of Galloway" and
the delivery was every way worthy of the
high rank this talented young lady has
taken as an elocutionist.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bowler received many SUBJ
stantisl gifts in commemoration OF the
day. The entertainment at their house
was an entire surprise to them, and its
success largely due TO the efforts of Mr..
and Mrs. Abuer Davis, who originated the
idea and carried 1t through. S.
