_______________________________
The fifth anniversary wedding of Sanford Kingsbury and wife was celebrated at their home [New Berlin, Chenango Co. NY], Friday evening, November 2d. At an early hour a large number of guests assembled. The day had been stormy, but the "old weather indicator" wheeled into line, and all went merrily along together.
A very pleasant visit was enjoyed in the early evening. At about 10 o'clock the supper was announced. The happy state of mind in which the company already were, gave all a relish for the very rich repast that was provided. I must add that but few ladies, if any, can do better justice to the requisites of the table than can our hostess. The tables fairly groaned under the burden. The "inner man" did "himself" ample justice, after the craving of "Grace" by the Rev. Mr. Hawley.
Shortly after supper as all were seated in the parlors, it was announced that we would listen for a few moments to remarks from Rev. Mr. Hawley. These were very instructive and interesting first thanking the guests for their many valuable presents and gifts, on behalf of our host and hostess, and then on the part of the friends, for the pains taken to make this occasion, one long to be remembered by providing so bountiful a table and elaborate entertainments. The Reverend gentleman by his plain and effective manner, drew the friends and neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Kingsbury to take a very profitable survey of the friendly relations which each sustained to the other, and all joined in expressions that our worthy twain may enjoy to their latest days the felicities of a wedded life, and the enjoyment of warm friends and that hands and hearts united, prosperity and success may crown every day of their lives.
At a late hour we parted for our homes, feeling that this was one of the grandest occasions of enjoyment we had ever enjoyed.

BARROWS: In McDonough [Chenango Co. NY] Nov. 2d, Mr. Mellen Barrows aged 91 years 8 months and 2 days.
Although not unexpected, the death of the venerable Mellen Barrows of McDonough, causes a feeling of sadness, not only among those who have for many years known him as a neighbor and intimate friend, but among a large circle of acquaintances throughout the County. He expired at his residence at an early hour on Friday morning last, in the ninety-second year of his age. We hope next week to give a more extended obituary of one who was so much esteemed in life, and whose death is so generally mourned.
