Laurens, Otsego Co. NY:  After all there are a great many pleasant things in the life of a minister.  The 26th was one of those happy moments which come but frequently and are appreciated more because of their scarcity.  The many good people of West Laurens gave their pastor and his wife, Rev. Mr. Beebe of Laurens, a pleasant surprise party, that day being the fifteenth anniversary of their marriage.  To show the wisdom of these good people the older of the flock came in the afternoon, reserving the evening for the young people.  Among the presents was a fine buffalo robe and a set of dishes.

Wednesday evening last, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Morris celebrated the tenth anniversary of their marriage by giving a tin wedding.  About one hundred persons were present and the tinware was a rare sight to behold.  Besides scores of useful articles there was a tin cat hole, a tin "stove pipe" hat, tin collars and cuffs, all perfectly formed, a portrait of Mr. Lincoln cut upon tin, so that the shadow was a perfect resemblance of the original.  The parlors were adorned with tin souvenirs in all conceivable shapes.  A generous supper was served.  Mr. and Mrs. Morris's hearty hospitality always makes guests comfortable and at home.  We are sure all present spent a delightful evening and join with us in wishing for them another decade of happiness and prosperity.
