It is & curious coincidence that the birthdays of MT and Mrs Levi s. Beebe occur on June IA and also that June IA was the birthday of their son, William, who died several years ago. Also that Mir and Mrs Beebe were married June 14, 1851, just 51 years ago the 14th of the present month. This year the figures "51" coincide with the year in which MT and Mrs Beebe were mario d and the number of years sInce they were married. This year the snniver- sary was not observed by a gathering of relatives and friends as MT and Mrs Beebe were too busy with their farm work June IA When Mir and Mrs Beebe celebrated their silver wedding 175 guests were present and Mrs Beebe made all the refreshments entirely alone. This proved to be such A great undertaking that since then Mrs Beebe has not made an anniversary wedding feast.

We call the attention of Brother Jonei of LAkeville-who is much annoyed b, shad bones getting mixed up with hi palate-to the following lines whicl recently appeared in the Saturda, Chronicle. Brother Jones is in entir' harmony with the idea that angels mad' the toothsome fish, and he sighs fo someone to undo the work of the devil Brother Rodemeyer of the Chronicle ac cuses Shakespeare of tho rhyme whicl runs as follows:
 When the angels made shad The devil was mad,
 For it seemed such feast of de-
 light.
 So, to ruin the scheme, He jumped into the stream.
 And stuck in the bones out of
 spite.
 When the strawberry red First illumined it's bed
 The angels looked down and were
 glad;
 But the devil, 'tis said, Fairly pounded his head.
 For he'd used all his bones on the
 shad.
