Mr.. II. X. Field, representative of the
Grand Council, and others.
About ten O'Clock the council adjourn

room, which had been artistically pre-
pared for the occasion. The tables we're
invitingly spread and everything which
could have added in the least to the COM
fort and enjoyment of the company had
been anticipated by Mrs. Rammel and
her sons. The members OF George Ma
fson Council, the visiting grand officers,
the officers Of Alexandria Council and a
few invited guests having taken their
places around the tables which had been
arranged to form a capital letter T, a
blessing was invoked by Mr.. L. b.
Kemp, after which the company took
their seats with Grand Regent Arnold,
Past Grand Regent Berry and Others in
the seats of honor.
The menu was then discussed with
an evident relish. The best oysters
that come to Alexandria, prepared in
all styles, with Hofbrau beer in album
dance ,nl fragrant coffee formed promi-
nent features of the feast.
1t was generally conceded that the
banquet was one of the most successful
and satisfactory that has been given in
Alexandria for long time. Every one
present felt perfectly at home and good
cheer pervaded the entire company.
Mr.. Isador Brown had made all ar
rangements for the feast and the perfect
success of the affair was due to his per-
sonaI labors and foresight. He was
the one to arrange for the enter
tainment, and that he performed well
his task was the unanimous opinion of
all present.

A MOUNTAIN OF GOLD.
1t Exists in Queensland and is Making
Men Rich.

1t Exists in Queensland and is Making
Men Rich.
In oIden times it was said there were
seven wonders of the world'-the
Pyramids of Egypt, the Hanging Gar
dens at Babylon, the Colossus at
Rhodes, and other creations of the
genius and labor of man; but, COM
pared with these, the wonders of ma
ture known at the present day are as
seventy times seven, and are found in
every part of this grand old earth,
says Chambers Journal" We have
read in fabulous story of mountains of
gold; but we supposed that such mira
cles of nature existed only in the Wis
| ions of poets and romanticists., How
ever, it is known to many that a YER
table mountain Of golden ore exists in
Queensland, the sunny state of the
new Australian commonwealth. This
! mountain is now being tunnelled and
, Ievelled. and it's stone crushed and
passed through chemical processes. In
one year over three hundred and TWEEN
ty-three thousand ounces of pure gold
were extracted; and the value of the
mine once rose in the share market to
! jllUIc LtlStI seventeen ilIA4AOIAS SSSA
ling!
Travelling in Central Queensland a
few months ago, curiosity induced us
| to visit this mountain of gold, which Is
situated about twenty-five miles from
the populous city of Northampton.
The train by which we made the jour
ney runs some distance through open
forest country, timbered mainly with
bloodwood, boxgums and iron bark
trees, and up very steep ridge called
the Razor Back to a range of noun
tains stretching for miles from north
to south where the air is cool and
pleasant after the heat and dust of the
city. AS this famous mine is ap-
preached great activity Is apparent. A
busy and thriving township has arisen,
with it's hotels, stores, hospital church
es and school of arts; and though some
of the buildings are roughly construct
ed, and in the streets steep natural
runnels and blocks of stone are likely
to arrest the progress of the unwary
pedestrian. there is a buzz of business
and evidences of enterprise that augur
we'll for the future prosperity and
shapeliness of this mountain town. We
hear the changing of machinery, and
occasionally the sullen bonn of a
blasting explosion; and the smoke from
the furnaces and various peculiar
chemical odors make the atmosphere
less bright and invigorating.
On application at the office, the man.
ager readily gives permission to go
over the works; and after a change of
dress and payment Of half crown to
fund for the benefit of the miners the
visitors are provided with guide, who
shows them the process from start to
finish by which the common looking
stone quarried from this. remarka BILE
mountain is made to yield gold of the
finest quality for the mint or the jew
ellers' workshop.
In the immense tunnels made in the
mountain tier on tier, are men busily
at work blasting and hewng the stone
and loading it on trucks, which convey
it to buckets that are lowered down

FIFTY YEARS MARRIED.

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry w. Blakeslee, of
10 Park Street, Attain Half Century
of Married Life.
Married, in this city, November "a,
1852. by the Rev. Edward e. Strong, D.
D, Henry w. Blakeslee to Grace B.
Peck
The above is a copy of the marriage
notice of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs.
Henry w. Bakeslee, of IS Park street,
which appeared in the Journal and
Courier fifty years ago next Monday.
1t is customary to celebrate such an
suspicious event as golden wedding
in social manner BETTING the occa-
sion. This however, is denied Mr. and
Mrs. Blakeslee through the recent sad
death of their son, Walter II. Blakeslee,
the artist and while they are denied the
pleasure of seeing their family and
many friends around the festive table.
they will nevertheless have the inward
satisfaction of knowing that hundreds
known them during the long period of
their happy life will unite in rejoicing
with them that they have been spared
to travel life's rugged road hand in
hand for SO many long years, and their
earnest wish is that they may be long
spared to be a comfort and joy to each
other.
Mr.. Blakeslee is one of New Hayen's
best known and most highly esteemed
citizens having spent some forty-one
years in what might be justly termed
the public's service. He was for fifteen
years armorers for the Grays, and has
served the board of education for for
ty-one years. He was janitor of the
Cedar street school for thirty-three
years, janitor of the high school for
two years, and on the opening of Zln-
der school six years ago he was trans
ferred to that building, where he has
acted as janitor ever since. Of an
obliging and kindly disposition, he has
gained for himself the highest esteem
among all who daily come in contact
with him.
