 Ira H. Lewis, Esq, and his wife very happily celebrated the fifty fourth ami versary of their married life last Friday, April 5th, which was also the seventy fourth birthday of Mrs. Lewis. MT. l.. was seyenty-six last month. All their children now living were present, with their companions, and all their grand children excepting four. Two of these are in the far west, and are children of their recently deceased daughter, Charlotte, who passed from this life four years ago, just after the celebration of their golden we'd ding. She is still sadly missed. It was greatly gratifying to have the son and his wife, MT. and Mrs. Henry Lewis, of Hart ford, present, as their absence last year caused much regret. Mrs. l.. brought from the city beautiful artificial flowers, her own handiwork, as present, and many other presents were given. The supper was most bountiful, crowned by nineteen pound turkey. The writer was invited to meet with these friends, and the cordiality of his welcome was very pleasing.

"Open the door and you'll see where I am P was the energetic answer.
