Golden Wedding.

On December 10Th, MIR. and Mrs. c.
NJ Carver celebrated the fiftieth ami
anniversary of f.their marriage. How
ard county has been the scene of the
joys and sorrows of this worthy couple.
Their acquaintance began here in the
fall of 1856, during the early days of
pioneering. They were married at
Prairie du Chem, Wisconsin, Dec. 30,
1859, driving from Vernon Springs to
that place, there bel: G no railroad
through at that time. After winter
spent in Evanston, ILL.,, they took up
their residence here and have always
made Cresco and vicinity their homo.
Although Mr.. and Mrs. Carver, like
some others who celebrate their Golden
Wedding were not able to gather about
them a host of children and grand-chil-
dren, they were the recipients of many
messages of congratulation and esteem
from relatives and old time friends
both far and near, tokens of kindly re-
membrance which will be highly priced
as mementoes of the happy occasion

"NHE visit of Halley's comet to
our skies is an event for which
u we have been waiting for thir-
ty-seven years and more, for
in 1873, when it had been retreating
into the depths Of space ever since it's
last preceding appearance in 1885, it
was at last brought up with a round

While every mile Of the way in with
drawing from the suns light and heat
it had equally withdrawn from it's re-
straining power, yet even 500,OOOOOO
miles beyond our farthest known plan
ct that power was still real, though
immensely reduced, and finally prevail
ed over the comets momentum so that
it was forced to turn back. It did it,
like a runaway child, reluctantly, and,
although with each mile of it's return
it has felt increase of attraction in the
sun and has thus been obliged to quick
en- it's pace steadily, it has nevertheless
refused to rush straight to the suns
bosom. Still retaining a fragment of
that original momentum with which it

Where the Transit May Be Seen.
This is made possible by remark
able combination of circumstances For
four months the comet has been north
of the sun. On the very day that it
passes it in going back from the morn
! ing to the evening sky it also passes
south of the sun. This brings it di-
rectly across the suns face Professor
See says that this will take place be-
tween p. n. and a. NJ, eastern time.
Professor Pickering names 9 p. NJ.
eastern time, as the hour popular
Astronomy says that lilo p. NJ, east
ern time, is the exact middle of the
transit, but that it lasts in it's en-
tirety from 1880 p. m. to HAS p. m.
The center of the comets head will
pass about four or five minutes of arc
above the center of the suns disk, the
diameter of the entire disk being thirty
| minutes.
Now, it is manifest that, vastly i'm
portant as this event is. it will be en-
tirely invisible to large part of hui
manity by reason Of the suns being
below the horizon at the hour named.

Spain and all the eastern part of the
United States will then be in the
shadow of night. Only on our western
borders is there hope that the transit
may be witnessed, and in the Hawai-
ian Islands there is a much closer ap.
proach to certainty. Professor Barnard
has estimated that the size of the com.
cts head as seen from the earth will
be more than sufficient to cover the
