Quiet Celebration of a Golden Wed
dina Anniversary.

Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Stockwel
passed the 50th anniversary of their
marriage, quietly at their home, Jan
g. and although the storm was heavy
outside, there was no storm inside
the doors. Few couples live together
so years and still fewer are the men
who can say that the wife never gave
him a cross word, even at half that
number of years! Ill health, as well
as storm, prevented reception, but
several congratulatory letters were
received, and number of valued and
useful gifts, all which are highly
appreciated, not for value alone but
far more for the kind remembrance
and good will which these gifts rep
resent. Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Stock
well were married Jan. 6, 1855, at
Worcester, Mass, and after living
there a few years came to this place
where they have lived since, with
the exception of six years in Athoi,
Mass, his native place. Mrs Stock
we'll has written more or less tor
newspapers and magazines, for many
years sending local news to one
paper every week. with one exception.

longer record, she will pass out the
cake at once.

HYDE STUCK TO THREE-FIFTHs CLAUSE.
To the elimination Of the Joker the
representatives Of the Hyde interests at
the conference refused to acoede arguing
that after the twent y-eight polioyholders'
directors we're elected II would be possible
10 amend the charter 80 as to destroy the
shareholder interest entirely. The Grim
minis committee then unanimously agreed
TO withdraw the demand for its elimination.
After this, the report says, II was dis
covered that the counsel representing the
Alexander interests had left the meeting
and when called on the telephone the reply
was received that they had decided not
TO commit their clients one way OF the other
to the withdrawal Of the demand for the
elimination Of the three-tifths vote clause.
This action the report says, had no bear
ing on the conclusion Of the agre ment,
so far IA the poicyholders' committee was
concerned. From this IL will be seen that
the policyholders' committee regards the
Alexander faction as having declared itself
satisfied on all the points in the agreement
except that regarding the three-hiths vote
OF the stock
The report says that notwithstanding the
