very pretty, all in native woods, the sitting

neatly filed and vanished. Cathedral and

GOLDEN WEDDING.-A golden wedding
is always a notable event in the lives of a
man and wife, and of the relatives and
friends of those who have spent fifty years
of happy welded life. Such an event as
that occurred in this village on Wednes-
day, Nov 81, when the friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Gilman w. Seaver met in honor OF
their fiftieth marriage anniversary, at the
home of their son, Harley t. Seaver. Mr.
and Mrs. Seaver were born and brought up
in So. Albany, where they were married in
1915. They have spent all their lives IN
this county, living some years in So. Al
bany, No. Troy and Barton. They began,
as most people of their day began, poor;
but by hard work, economy and resolute
courage they succeeded in amassing fair
competence. They have been useful citi-
zens in all good spheres of life. Mr.. Seav-
er has been honored by his townsmen and
the people of the county in the gift and
holding of various offices. Mrs. Seaver
ELIZA E. RowelD was the daughter of
Eliphalet RoweH. There were about forty
guests present at the time of their mar
riage, only three being alive at this time,
two of whom, Tyler E. Rowell, brother,
and Guy E. RoWell, a cousin, were pres
ent last Wednesday. The other living wit
ness of the first wedding, Mrs. Agnes

her daughter, Mrs. John Bean, but she
was too feeble to be present. There were
present, besides those mentioned above
and the family of Harley Seaver, Ezra T..

from North Troy; Frank Glidden, a SON.
in-law, whose wife died a few years ago,
and his daughter, Ollie E. Glidden of
Craftsbury, Enoch G. RowelI and wife,
William Williams and wife, Mr.. and Mrs.
A. D. Patterson, Mr.. and Mrs. j. G. Page,
Mr.. and Mrs. j. B. Freeman, Miss Myra
King, Rev. and Mrs. Douglass and others.
The hours were chiefly spent in greetings
and visiting, but it had been arranged that
there should be something of the literary
and in the line of bountiful repast Mrs.
E. t. Seaver read very appropriate pro-
duction, Miss Ollie Glidden a timely and
touching poem, which gave something of
the family history. Letters received from
Luther T. Seaver of Boston, a brother of
Craftsbury were read, which expressed
much regret that the writers could not be
present. The friends in Albany had pur-
chased fine gold4headed cane for Mr..
Seaver,k the children a very pretty and
costly chair for both father and mother.
Mr.. Douglass made a very felicitous and
acceptable speech in presenting the gifts,
Mr.. Seaver responding in a few we'll
chosen remarks. The whole party sat
down to an overladen table, on which
there were two large "wedding cakes" on

Altogether, it was a most pleasant occa-
sion, and marks an event and a day that
will be specially bright in the lives of all
present. The congratulations of those not
present are extended, with the hope that
the good people may live in health and en-
joyment yet many years.
