A GOLDEN WEDDING.

An interesting and enjoyable affair came off in this place, last Saturday, April 13, at the residence of MT and Mrs N. G. Hebbard. It was the occa- sion of the 5Otb anniversary of their wedding. Although no invitations or announcement were given out, large number of their relatives and friends assembled to~do them honor on that suspicious occasion. The parlor, sit- ting and dining rooms were profuSely decorated with flowers, with their per- fumes, together with the gayly cos tuned guests, made the scene exhilir ating, delightful. Two remarkable features of the occasion was that Mrs Hebbard wore a pair of large pearl earrings that were presented to her on the day of her wedding, fifty years ago. MT Hebbard wore white silk embroidered vest that he wore on that occasion and has never worn since un- til last Saturday. The earrings and the vest excited considerable interest. Unexpectedly, for MT and Mrs Heb ents, innumerable presents were re- ceived in gold coins, and other useful and valuable articles from Utica, Buff falo and New York City. The young couple were married on the 18th of April (the brides birthday in the old Episcopal church that formerly stood on the corner of Christie and Broom streets, by Rev Dr Price, rector of the church. The bride was the second daughter of Col Edwin J. Mercer, pro- prietor of the American hotel that stood on WassOn and Ann streets for many years. MT Hebbard was born in New York City and in his early years he attended old public School No. in Henry street. He afterward attended 51st Street School, from which he graduated in 1853, and was one of a few admitted in the Free Academy, now called the College of the City of proud title of Dean of the Alumni as- sociation. The rooms were filled with guests during the afternoon and until late or early the next morning. There were several pieces sung and fnstru- mental selections on the piano by Miss Laura Hebbard, daughter of the bride and groom, recitationS by the groom and several poems by Dr Gallup and MT Mo Donough. Among the guests guests present were Mrs Josephine Collins of Riverside Drive, New York City, MT and Mrs George Wheeler, M rs George Hebbard and Mrs Woodside and daughter from Bridgeport, MT and Mrs Charles l.. filling, pr and Mrs Gallup and the Misses Gallup, MT and Mrs M. G. Nc Donough of this place, and number of other friends who dropped in to offer their congratula- tfons. This affair, though informal, was certainly very gratifying to the host and hostess and will be remem- bered with great pleasure, and if the expressions of the guests at their leave taking, are any indications of their feelings, they, too, were well pleased with the evenings entertain ment.

Mir Pearson was born in York shire, England, but had been in this country some time. At one time he was an extensive grower of vegetables and small fruits for the markets, his knowledge of the business making him quite successful in it. Of late years, while following this somewhat, he had devoted more time to the canvaSSing for nursery stock. He was halter by trade and at one time carried on the manufacture of mapped hats. He is survived by wife, one son and two daughters.
