GOLDEN WEDDING.

The Golden Wedding of Mr.. &
Mrs. Ezra Pierce was adjourned I'M
til March goth, when about fifty of
their friends assembled to congratu-
late them. The hand of time has
dealt gently with our friends in the
years that have come and gone, since
that other wedding day so long ago.
Mr.. Pierce is still one of our most ac-
tive business men, and both are rs
ready now to wait on their friends as
in the olden times.
Mr.. Pierce was the recipient of
beautiful Elgin gold watch, chain and
charm while Mrs. Pierce received a
pair of gold-bowed spectacles, besides
various other tokens of goodwill and
esteem from her many friends. The
gifts were presented by Rev. Geo.
A. Beckwith in very clear and APP
propriate words for the relatives and
friends, and suitably acknowledged
by Rev. b. F. Tuck. Mr.. & Mrs.
Pierce made some very good remarks,
thanking their friends not only for
the kindnesses of that day, but for
the kindness which had been mani
tested during the whole period of
their acquaintance, both in prosperity
and in adversely. Mrs. L. A. Bal
lou read poem written by Mrs. A.
o. Metcalf for the happy golden an
niversary. Their adopted daughter,
Mary, also read very appropriate
selected poem, dedicated to "Father
and Mother" The musical part of
the entertainment was conducted by
l.. A. Ballou. Then bountiful ia
BILE was again spread and the golden
hours glided swiftly away, filed with
pleasant social converse and pleasures
until late in the evening, when all the
guests departed, leaving best wishes
for the continuation of many happy
years to the bride and groom of fifty
years. Few people live to commence
rate this anniversary, but from pres
ent indications Mr.. & Mrs. Pierce
bid fair to celebrate their diamond
wedding.

rhe wntsr CLOCK At Canton.

The famous clepsydra, or water clock,
that has been keeping time for $50 years
without loss or irregularity, is an affecting
monument as viewed. by reverent or
sentimental tourist To the cold eye of
reason it is only clumsy arrangement of
four stone jars placed one above another,
and arranged with troughs from which
the water runs drop by drop from one pot
to another. In the lowest and smallest
jar wooden float supports brass rod
that is lined and marked with Chinese
characters, and as the brass rod rises
through the cover of the jar the course OF
the hours is seen. In this temple of the
water clock, perched high on the city
wall, the priest sells time candles that
record the passage of the hours as they
burn.-"Ruhamah" in Chicago Times.

The stock Exchange. Business.

In speaking Of the enormous business
of the New York Stock Exchange, Mr..
Moses Smith, in a recent work, says that
in one day the commissions have reached
S262, 500. The secretary of the exchange
reports the following transactions for the
year 1886: Shares of listed stock, 108, Co.,
S04; government bonds, $13, 1857. 100;
state and railroad bonds, $685., 937 ,32O,
and Al 600, 900 shares of unlisted stocks.
BY Jumping the listed and unlisted shares
of stock at $50 per share there is a value
of 81, 247, GAO, 200 in stocks alone. If full
rate commissions were exacted on these
sales of stock they would represent : Isl
119, 100.50 to divide among 100 brokers
in the exchange, which would give each
S16,47l.90, exclusive of commissions on
all other securities. Orleans Times

"Who's Afraid.

A celebrated photographer while max
ing pictures along the rough coast of
New England, set his camera to take
the view of double row of rocks off
York Beach, Maine, with the waves
dashing over them, when three sunny
faced children appeared on the scene
from behind the rocks where they had
been hidden from view, running toward
che water as though to plunge into the
surf and by accident halted directly in
front of the camera already set, when a
clear manly voice, flom distance, rang
out the warning to the younger child,
my darling, don't go near the water!"
They turned, each in characteristic pose
and the reply came from the little one,
":Who's Afraid 2" Snap went the rub

Another Tribute to ..Kenosha's
Favorite Soprano.

Lily Runals surprised our musical
people with her superb voice. Very
few probably know it, but her rendi-
ton Of the Swiss Echo Song was a
feat accomplished only by limited
rumber of singers and only one Of
them reached a high degree of per-
lection in it. And that was Madam
Sontag. Patti has sung the song
perhaps a half dozen times in this
country and that is all. Singers avoid
it as mountain of musical difficulties
as it involves a number of high D
flats, which must be sustained. Gers
terused to sing the song and the New
York papers advertised it week in
advance as marvel of musical at
tainment; and yet this little western
girl took these high notes as easily
as if it was common every day oc-
curance. There is probably no other
soprano now on the concert platform
who can repeat the performance
