Silver Wedding.

From the Austin Statesmen of Saturday
we copy the following uotice of an interest
ing event in the lives of well known and
much esteemed former members Of our
community:
DIR. and Mrs. A. N. Denton celebrated
Yesterday, tho twenty-iifth anniversary OF
tn eir wedding day. For five and twenty
years, q quarter of century, they have
lived happily together in the holy bonds OF
matrimony. During those years many Old
friends have passed away. Since June 20,
1861. they have seen fond ties severed that
will never again he reunited on this side of
eternity. But within those years new and
fonder ties have been nude that bind them
more closely together and to this world.
Bright blossoms of young life have grown
up around them, whose pride and privilege
it is to call them Father" Mother"
bringing to them scenes aud faces of their
own young lives unalloyed by griefs or sor-
rows, untraced with care or wearing pain.
To have seen the faces of the kindly cou-
pie, who yesterday saw the completion OF
their twenty-fifth year of welded life, was
to believe that their cares and troubles had
been few. or if any had been met, they had
been forgotten in the pleasure of the pres
ent In celebrating this land mark in their
life Journey DIR. and Mrs. Denton yester-
day evening rendered their friends n recep-
ton at the ASYLUM, and large number OF
elderly and young people assembled there
TO offer their congratulations, and to wish to
the happy couple many more years togeth-
er.
AS tokens of the regard and esteem in
which the celebrants are held, many hand
some momentoes Of silver were sent them
by numerous friends. The elder members
of the company present INDUCED in CONVEX
satIon, going over scenes and actions of
their own lives and those of fir ends, recall
ing "reminiscences of happy by-gone days.
The younger portion INDUCED in topics
of the present and hopes and plans for the
future, in conversational lines, while 10
further amuse they whirled the time away
with merry feet in dancing in the hall OF
the asylum, and hands and hearts, and both
old and young joined appetites together
around n festal board that would have
brought delight to any one who enjoys
good digestion, and all present seemed gift
ed with that great aid to supreme earthly
happiness. DIR. and Mrs. Denton enter an
other year with the wishes from many
friends that it will be repeated until they
can celebrate their 5olden anniversary.

With regard to what Judge Kone said at
Dripping Springs, we have made some in
quiry and are prepared to respond to Mr.
Sam r. Koues inquiry which appeared in
our last. AS we then told him, we derived
onr impression from incidentally hearing
something of q conversation between Mr.
James H. Storey and our junior. We have
since conversed with Mr.. Storey, and he
Informs us that said conversation took
place soon after the meeting at Dripping
Springs. That he said Judge Kone, in
noticing the FREE PRESS, gave as reason
that he had no newspaper, or words to
that effect One of the young men then
remarked that this might be construed to
imply that Capt. Storey had newspaper,
and supposed it was the FREE PRESS. The
other said it did sound that way.
We do not undertake to give the exact
words of the conversation, but the substance
as given us by Mr.. J. II. Storey, to whom
we refer all anxious inquirers. 1t will be
seen that the impression We derived at first
was but natural, but we correct it with
pleasure. We never knowingly misrepre-
sent, and if we should inadvertently do SO,
never hesitate, upon information, to make
the proper correction.
It is but just TO the young men to add,
that neither of them expected that any pub
lie notice would be taken of the conversa-
ton. So far as that matter is concerned,
we only are at fault.
If, as the most authentic report goes,
Judge Kone said IN his Dripping Springs
speech that he had no newspaper, wasn't
it rather rough on the would-be organ down
the street, which has been pitching in" for
the Judge all the season?
