Apparently happier company never
assembled than was seen at the residence of
Paul NJ. Coombs, on the evening of the 22d
inst. The meeting was appointed for the
purpose of celebrating the fifteth anniver-
sary of the matrimonial life of the venera-
Bile couple Mr.. and Mrs. Paul NJ. Coombs.
Although the night was very severe and
cold. vet the welcome and cordial reception,
the hot, steaming and bountiful plates of
clam chowder, generously filed cups of cof-
fee, together with other good articles sutfic-
lent to make up good supper, was enough
to fully compensate any one, for frozen ears
or frost bitten nose. Such an occasion is
rare and only known and designated as
golden wedding :" and we were pleased to
notice few gold presents, which were sent
in from absent friends-together with many
other valuable presents carried IN by their
numerous friends which added much to the
pleasure of those whom we assembled to
please. After lndulglng in numerous games
and fashionable gymnastics, II was dlscoy-
cred that one was presest who sometimes is
honored with the title of esq, and 1t was
then decided to invite the honored couple to
again have the marriage ceremony pro-
nounced, to which consent was given; and
after living together fifty wears they were
again united in wedIock, which event seemed
70 he very much enjoyed b. Mr.. and Mrs.
Coombs. 1t was surely pleasant to be
there. and was pronounced by all to be a
good time. May the venerable couple be
attended with many more wears OF happ!-
ness.
