Golden Wedding Celebrated.

! Golden weddings are not very common
occasions, but the tiftieth anniversary OF
the marriage of Mr., and Mrs. Sampson
| Thurston was recently observed at their
home in West Bradford. Sam and Elsie,
as they al e always called by their friends
and acquaintances, were married in
April, 1S48 They began life together on
the farm on which they still reside, and
during the eptire fifty years of their we'd
ded life have been respected and honor
ed residents of the town of Bradford
Monday, April 18th, was the date Sc
lected for the celebration of the event,
and plans were made for the assemblage
of the older friends in the afternoon, fol-
lowed in the evening by the gathering OF
the younger friends and those Of the ell
der ones who wished to remain. In the
afternoon about 20 persons repaired to
The home of the respected couple, the
hours very quickly and pleasantly pass
ing in social intercourse and remlnls-
cence of youthful days and events OF fifty
years ago. As darkness approached, re-
Inducements began to appear The peo-
pie continued to congregate until before
9 o'clock 70 were assembled within their
pleasant home. Friends from Bolton
vile, Corinth Fairlee, West Fairlee.
Post Mills and Bradford made up the
large party. The evening, which seemed
all too short for the festivities, was fully
occupied in conversation, music, games
and other amuSementS. MISS Mary kld-
der read poem very appropriate for the
occasion, and an original poem written
by Chas. O. Davis was read by himself.
During the evening $37.25 in cash from
many friends, a nice clock from the
daughter Jennie, of Cleveland, Ohio a
pair of solid gold napkin rings, from the
son Martin, of Spokane, Washington, and
a fine book from Mrs. Robinson OF Bolton
vile, were presented to the worthy
couple. The remarks of Mr.. Hiram
Carleton in making the presentation,
were in the right vein and fully voiced
the sentiments of the friends. Mr..
Thurston feelingly responded in a few
words right to the point thanking all for
their gifts and for their respect for him
self and wife made manifest by their
presence, Refreshments in abundant
quantities were served about II O'Clock.

Rev. and Mrs. A. II Webb returned
Monday from the Methodist confer
ence at Springfield. Mr.. Webb will
remain here another year by appoint
ment of the conference much to the
pleasure of the people of the MethO-
dist church and of Bradford in general.
He has now been here year and has
given excellent satisfaction.
The rains of the past week have put
a good color into the grass and started
the foliage on the trees which will soon
be covered with their beautiful green
dress. Spring now has undisputed con
troll of the situation and receives a cor
dial welcome. Jack Frost took his de-
parture several days ago and leaves no
mourners behind him. Although an
influential resident here several
months every year he is not an es-
pecially welcome one, his departure
arousing more enthusiasm than his ar
rival From now on until late in the
fall there is no more attractive place
in the country than Bradford, a iact
becoming better known every year as
the increasing number of summer vi,i-
tors testify.

SENATORS DIsPLEAsED.
Only the EtrOngly Conservative Speak
FavorabIy OF the Message

Only the EtrOngly Conservative Speak
FavOrabIy of the Message.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Presi-
dents message did not, after the first
reading, receive the Endorsement of a
majority of the Senators, and many
excused themselves from speaking
about it until they could have time
for careful perusal In general way
the objections were based upon the
ground that it did not go far enough
in recognizing the rights of the Gu
bans.
The senators who have been espe-
cially noted for their conservatism
were pleased, but they were the ex-
ception to the rule, and many of those
senators who had in the past few days
shown a disposition to slacken their
opposition to a conservative course
appeared to be disposed to return to
their original positions
A large number OF Dem ocratic sem
stors refused to express themselves at
all, as did several Repu blicans, upon
the ground that, as they could not
speak in complimentary terms, they
would say nothing at all One of the
most significant utterances upon the
message was that Of Senator Foraker
from TIE Presidents own state and a
member of the committee on foreign
relations. He said; II have no pa
thence with the message, and you can
say so" He refused to go into de-
tails
Senator Mills of the same commit
tee said: "Without referring to the
message specifically, you can say am
for the independence Of Cuba and for
war on account OF the Maine"
Senator Cullom, also of the foreign
relations committe e, commended the
document He said: ut is strong
paper, a we'll prepared and careful
review. The Senate may go farther
than the President recommends, but
it will have a strong influence in shap-
ing the course Of events"
