silver WEDDING.
Mr.. Editor

lAt x/1GCVSs /
As matter of serial news I would
pen the following lines. in which q |
brief statement Is attempted to be
made of the Horville Silver Wedding,
occurring on the 3lst Of December, 1887
and which 10 point of numbers attend
ing, and elaborate preparation, a. we'll
~ real enjoyment, proved the event of
the season.
Att o'clock p. m. the guests COM
menced arriving, but in consequence
of the extreme cold weather 1t was al
late a. $50 O'Clock before they had all
arrived.
After INDUCING in social converse
ton for an hour or 90, supper was an
nounced, and being led to the dining
room our eyes met feast we will not
soon forget. Ten large tables extend
ing the full length Of . spacious din
ing room were loaded down with the
substantials of life, AZ we'll a. . SEEM
ingly inexhaus tiole supply of the most
tempting PASTRY, all calculated to
tempt the appetite. and as evidence
that it did 80 it was only necessary to
see the zeal manifested by those who
participated at the festive board. The
cooking, baking and general prepara.
tons of this event shows that after Is
years of married life, our esteemed
hostess, and her daughters who have
now grown to womanhood, know well
how to manage a household. About
one hundred persons partook of supper
and yet such abundance had been pre-
pared, that there remained q large
surplus. Well knowing the kind and
hospitable disposition of our host and
hostess; however, we have no fear that
there will be as much trouble in dis
posing of 1t as is occasioned by the sur.
plus in our own national Treasury.

After partaking Of supper the guests
were left to entertain themselves as
they deemed best without any re-
lstraints or formalities. social CONVEX.

year 1887 was nearly or quite gone

themselves as highly pleased and in.
dulging the hope that our host and
hostess might live to enjoy their gold.
