A very pleasant and happy company of
about one hundred relatives and neighbols
gathered at the house of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Blanchard at Cumberland Centre on Satur-
day evening to celebrate the 10th anniversary
of their wedding. The occasion was one of
great interest, it being complete surprise to
the aged couple who were invited to spend the
afternoon and take tea with their pastor and
his wife, and returning in the early part OF
the evening, found their home brilliantly
lighted and filled with friends awaiting their
arrival. The surprise, pleasure and happiness
manifested in the meeting, with those who
had been absent in distant towns and States
will long be remembered by those who were
present. After an hour of social enjoyment,
refreshments were served, followed by re-
marks from Mr.. Blanchard expressing thanks
for the tokens OF love and friendship received
among which were beautiful gold headed
cane from o. S. Themes, an elegant silver
service from the family, several gold coins
from friends and an easy chair from the
neighbors. Rev. T. S. Perry of Cumberland
read an original poem appropriate TO the oc-
cason. With renewed congratulations, the
friends dispersed, each wishing Mr.. and Mrs.
Blanchard many years of love and peace on
earth and a happy union in the eternal home.
