GOLDEN WEDDING GREETING.
Amid the golden glory
OF these bright october days,
With grateful hearts we gather
To greet in love and praise
This couple who were welded
Full fifty years it's now,
And have not yet repented
Their holy marriage vow.
Sometimes serenely flowing
Lies river glided on, |
Anon the stream was ruffied,
Anon the clouds were gone; l
Yet through the fifty summers, |
The fifty winters through, l
Our God hath richly blessed you, l
His hand hath guarded you.
Though dear ones of ife's springtime
Have gone before to him, Il
Yet many still remaining
Forbid your eyes to dim
With tears, for dear ones falling,
With whom you yet shall meet,
You change for joys most sweet
Keep then, in grateful gladness
Your golden wedding day,
Although the bright Octobers
Too quickly pass away,
There comes glorious season
Within the summer land,
Where every brow uplifted
Is by gentle breezes famed.
Well join their glad hosanas
OF heavenly peace and love,
And keep the festal season
OF earth with joys above,
Where none will there be missing
To mar the pure delight,
And where your diamond wedding
Will shine forever bright.
God spare you many seasons,
And spare your children dear,
To greet the fair Octobers
AS they shall oft appear,
Through many year OF blessing,
The life Of welded gladness
That you have lived so long and well
The occasion was one of great interest
and was heartily enjoyed by all partici-
pating Mr.. and Mrs. Graves were the

In our Fair Haven notes yesterday an
error Internationally was made in the
haste of news gathering regarding q we'd
ding Saturday night. Captain Mallory
was united in wedlock to Mrs. Hiram
Barnes, not to Mrs. Andrew Barnes, and
the wedding WAS on East Pearl street mot
in the annex, and at the residence of Mr..
E. R. Miller of the telegraph corps of the
Consolidated road at Union depot, New
Haven, whose wife is daughter of the
lady who was united in marriage The
age of Mrs. Mallory, 30 far from being
three score and ten, is well on the sunny
side of fifty. Mrs. Mallory has always
until now been resident on the west side
of the Quinnipiac river. After the we'd
ding the happy couple repaired to Captain
who wish them joy and happiness.
The Ladies' Aid society of the First
Congregational church is to have one OF
their occasional suppers tomorrow even
ing, the pleasant character of which need
not be set forth to those who patronize
them.
The Middletown avenue section of Fail
Haven is enjoying the hope that the boom
in real estate looked for in that section for
twenty years is at last at hand, is at least
not far in the dim distance. Ex-Assessol
Donnelly, who has resided on that avenue
for many years, reports the prospects
bright for an early and dedided improve
| ment Of real estate values in that locality
and the erection of handsome new houses
in that section and the prospect of mum
Der more in the near future, seems to in
dictate that the representations are not
baseless. Rents are in fair demand in al
that part of the city also and a good class
of tenants as a rule occupy the houses, the
rents being reasonable and comfortable
with plenty of room at moderate prices
and yard room sufficient for the children
to turn around in, while access to the city
by horse cars is easy and convenient.
