Mr. and Mrs. Ebenezer Adams celebrated at their residence in the town of Plymouth [Chenango Co., NY], Thursday evening, the 24th inst., the fortieth anniversary of their marriage. This was the largest gathering of the kind that has ever been held in this vicinity, and the invitation was made general. A large number of friends and relatives assembled to join with them in passing a pleasant evening. After the guests had arrived, they were made mutually acquainted, and the enjoyment of the evening commenced; and then the guests separated into little knots and groups, which seemed almost lost in the spacious rooms of their great mansion. For a time conversation ruled the hour, and well did it reign, for many valuable thoughts were expressed, and happy reminiscences rehearsed. Among some of the amusing features of the entertainment which afforded much real merriment to the guests, were Mrs. A's, collection of gewgaw animals, artfully constructed of cloth, and made many years ago with her own nimble fingers. Music was voluntarily furnished by the members of the North Norwich Cornet Band. This additional aid was appreciated by those present, and helped to render the occasion delightful. At an early hour the guests formed in couples and sought refreshments, which were found in abundance. We beheld two large tables bountifully supplied with choice delicacies, together with oysters and other substantials, and well did the participants do the repast justice. Although no presents were solicited on this occasion, yet some very valuable ones were presented. Mr. J.V. Lewis held the attention of a large company while he made a few eloquent remarks on the part of the donors. He said that the tokens of regard on their part, were but a slight expression of the good wishes they entertain toward the recipients on this the fortieth anniversary of their wedded bliss. In response, G.W. Marvin, of Norwich, spoke in behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Adams. That they tender their hearty thanks to the donors for the valuable presents which, though unexpected, were all the more cheerfully received, and also, to the entire company for the interest each one has exhibited in making this anniversary an unequivocal success. Mr. Adams married his wife in the winter of 1838. The wedding took place in the house now occupied by Mrs. Reynolds, in this village but then by Mr. Bocker for whom both were working at the time. A goodly number of friends and relatives were present to enjoy that occasion. Though since, thirty-three of that number have died, leaving only two out of thirty-five who attended their wedding and whose ages not far exceeded that of the happy couple. One of the two left is Mrs. Curry, who was present at the anniversary, and enjoying good health. Mr. and Mrs. Adams' wedded life has been an exceptionally happy one. The latter has been in the true sense of the word a help-mate, and to her good judgment, and sound common sense, must be attributed in some degree at least their success in life. The tokens of respect--and friendship left them by their friends will doubtless be cherished for many years as reminders of the happy occasion, and the friendly donors. Altogether it was a splendid affair, and all returned home in that happy, friendly, and peaceful frame of mind, which generally prevails at similar occasions.
