very enjoyable occasion indeed was
the fiftieth anniversary OF the marriage
OF Mr.. and Mrs. David Seymour at Shows
vile, Monday evening. About one hun

many more years of happy married life.
A poem written for the occasion was read
by Mrs. |. ID. Williams, and both vocal
and instrumental music were furnished
during the evening by local talent. Before
refreshments were served Rev. VIM. Water,
in behalf OF the givers, presented several

these presents in behalf OF his parents.

of the 10th Regt. Vermont Volunteers and
served nearly three years. He was with
Gen Sheridan in the Shenandoah valley
and remembers his famous ride. They
have one son, Christopher, who served in
the LIST Vermont cavalry, enlisting when
only 16 years OF age. This was the third
event of the kind observed in this neigh.
borhood in six years. There must be

here which permits such long married
