February l2.-Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter,
well known and respected residents Of
this village, entertained a number of well
wishing friends and neighhors January
81, it being the fiftieth anniversary OF
their wedding day. Part of the evening
was spent iii listening to a cheerful adj
dress from Rev. Mr.. Murray, and in
pleasant conversation based chiefly on
"reminiscences of events that have trans
pred since Mr.. and Mrs. Carpenter came
here from ST. John, n. b., tweuty-seven
years ago, also in the reading OF items Of
interest to those present from papers
published near their former homes.
Special interest was manifested in an ac-
coant OF the golden wedding of Mrs.
Carpenter sister, which was celebrated
near her old home few days previous to
the 3lst. The effect of genial conversa-
ton could not possibly be the only excuse
that some OF our hearty neighbors had
for doing justice to the sumptuousrepast
set before them by the kind hearted Mrs.
Carpenter. 1t was indeed a wedding
feast. Following this Mr. Stuart Bald
win presented to the happy couple the
congratulations of the friends present
who hoped that their host and hostess
might both long continue in their present
active and useful lives. \ new ray OF
sunshine coming unexpectedly brightenS
all around it, and when it continues to
shine until it has warmed the heart it is
then that we appreciate its worth. Mr..
| Baldwin'S words expressed heartfelt
| sympathy With the occasion, causing
many present to look forward to the fti-
ture, not as youth often does. but rather
as those who have already entertained
serious thoughts OF rendering an account
of their stewardship. His words on the
| happy. loving, and useful life OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Carpenter touched the hearts of all
present and the more than suspicious Of
tears were chased away by the smile Of
approval from the friends in whose name
he presented to Mrs. Carpenter a beauti
full gold lined tea set and to Mr.. Carpcn
ter pair of gold bowed spectacles as
small tokens of remembrance and es
TEEN. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Carpenter ex
pressed their thanks, Mr. Carpenter
especially replying in we'll chosen words
to the expressed good wishes of Their
friends. Mr.. William Carpenter was the
only guest present who was present al
the wedding of his brother fifty year;
ago Among the other guests were Mrs
William Carpenter, Rev. and Mrs. Muir

last week Thursday evening by Rev. X.

his subject he portrayed the tenderest
clements in human life. Mr.. Fuller sur

The bride and groom of last week had
a misadventure at Sherbrooke while on
their wedding trip. They had planned
to take the early PassumpsIc train for
Brattleboro, but not knowing the train
started from the Grand Trunk station,
and not having enquired, they walked in
that terrible storm of last Friday to the
Canadian Pacific station, fully mile,
and there found out their error a trifie
too late to get back in season to take the
train originally intended. However they
took the mixed train and went as tar as
Newport, where they were able to take
in part of the musical convention, and
subsequently proceeded to Brattleboro,
which place it is hoped they reached with
out further mishap.

 ncss.

High-class spectacular plays have ever been accorded hearty reception by the general body of play-geers, and the visit of the gorgeous "Black Crook" to the Opera-house Saturday night promises iH every way to be the red letter event of the theatrical season. The magnificent manner in which the revival of this popular fav0rite has been placed before the public has secured for it general en- dorsement as one of the greatest spectacles placed upon the stage, and as the play will be given with all the remarkable splendor and complete ness which marked the phenomenal twelye-m0hths' run at the Academy of Music, in New York, the prOduc- ti0n may be anticipated to draw an immense house. There will be three grand pallets. one N hieh child ren exclusively take part, leading premieres from the continental capi- tals, new and elaborate scenery in which electricity will play an inn portant part The reyelsin the Fairy Queens Grotto, ia which large number of fair fgurantes, attir3d in the most beautiful and costly apparel, take part, will present scene of Oriental splendor The grand march of the stately Amazons, arrayed from head to foot in glittering armor, will eclipse anything of the kind ever seen in this city. No expense has been spared to make Black Crook stand put prominently as the greatest spectacular plays at present before .he public.
