dawned upon Mr.. and Mrs. L. that ii
was the 50th anniversary of theil
marriage. The friends took the
management of affairs and spread a
well laden table, and prepared for
the presentation of a large number of
valuable presents. Space prevents
the naming of all the presents, but
among them were an easy chair from
their sons a set of chairs from theil
neighbors, with articles of silver
glass, linen, etc., from others
Among those present were three sons
and their wives, three daughters, 6
)n-in-law, sister of Mrs. L. and
her husband, Mr.. Hitchcock of West
field, Mrs. Hagar, sister and husband
from Newport, brother of Mrs. L.
and his wife, Mr.. Buck and wife OF

Among these present were five who
were present at the marriage fifty

agreeably spent. Rev. King happily
presented the articles contributed an6
offered prayer. Mr.. and Mrs. Law
renee have not only an honorable
descent and record, personally, bu
are descended from revolutionary ant
patriotic stock. They had five son:
