THE GOLDEN WEDDING OF ONE OF BRADFORD COUNTY'S OLDEST RESIDENTS: ,TmmrrowN, June 10.—=It is not; often that it is vouchsafed to the people of our day to live together , for fifty years in mar- ried life. Consequently such an occasion is' considered a rare event. The little village of Terrytown, .pleasantly situated on the Sirsquehamm river, about fourteen miles 14tw Towanda, was made lively over the celebration of the golden wedding .. of Dr. and 'Mrs. George F. Horton on Wednesday Kist 7th list. .A.sthe doctor has been an actitc and proMinent man of this county, and in fact in the state it 'would be inter esting to know somethi:g of his life. • Dr. Horton was born at Tt!rrytOwn, January 2d, 1806.. On both sides the family' lines run back to Puritan stock - and to those who served in the revolutionary war,his' father having served as a wagoner in that war, being too,young to act in any other capac ity. His mother was a daughter of • Par shall Terry, one' of the inmates of the Forty fort, the night, of the terrible •massacre. Slie"• , as also in the 'fort and remembers irividlY the scenes of that fearful slaughter. Dr. Horten received his elementary educa tion in the log School house 'of his native town, and afterwards entered the' Trov Polytechnic sclusal,.o here he .graduated in 1857, and' is to:day the oldest living gradu ate of that institution. He then studied medicine and began practice at , terrytown . in 1829. He immediately gained a :repu tation as an able physician and consequent lyan extensive ride. Ho has kept- himself fully abreast with the latest discoveries of medicine and has acquired an enviable reputation as one - of the best, authorities in the state. He "has been one of the most active.members of. the — Bradford County Medical society, president of the . Pennsyl vania State Medical society in 1862, a mem ber of - the :American Medical association', and honorary member of. several other similar societies.. He has been . in - ctive practice since he entered the. profession, always riding on horse_ bock: He issued a report on the glog-y of the county inlS5B, the first-contribution on the subject by any one ha theleeunty. _Neither has the doctor neglected his duties to society. For twenty years he was pistmaster at Terrytown and also held several important town offices. He wf}s one 'Ofthe foremost advocates of the abolition of 44ery. In 1872 he was elec ted a member l of the state constitutional convention. He has also been the most active in all moral, charitable and cam tional works in his town and county. The o:actor - is to-day' in the enjoyment of almost .perfect . health and bids fair to live to be a centenarian. Mrs. Horton is also deseerk. ded from revolutionary stock... Her grand father, Jonathan Terry; stood . sentry at the battle Of Wyoming and wrote a letter fully describing that important event, which letter is printed in full in Craft's History of Bradford county. . He . after wards came. to Terrytown and became . one 'of the pioneeri-of the place and in honor : of. whom the town was named. Mrs. Horton is the daughter'of William and Nancy (Sher _man) Terry, and is the oldest of a family of thirteen children, eleven of whom (seven sisters and three brothers) are living, one .having died in, infancy, and, another as full 'grown man having been killed by the fall of a tree. She is now in her seventy-fourth year. The youngest is now fifty years of age. This is quite an old fashioned family, I and it is safe to say that such another can seareely found within the confines of the State. Mrs.• Horton bears her years well and bids:fair to hold her 'youth with the doctor in his advancing age. There have been eight childrenloorn to Dr. 'and Mrs. Horton, 'three: daughters and ttaro sons of whom are living. All the children were present including . their husbands and wives and children, viz.: S. Hornet and Mrs. D. Craft, Wyalusing; Mrs. Will Sutton' whose husband is deceased; Tarrytown; Mr. J. B. Horton, Terrytown; and W. T. Horton sheriff of Bradford county, Towanda. The. sisters'otitrs. Horton were also 'present with their -husbands, Mr.' and Mrs. Renard Bramhall, Mrs: J. F. 'Chamberlain, Wyalusing; Mr. and Mrs. 3. r 3. Gale, Liberty Corners; Mrs. A.. P. Stephens, Great Bend; Mrs: James Stoneman, Towan da, and Mr. andUrS. B. Laporto.

Horton, a set of gold-band China, from the daugh-: tors, and a large gold ring frbru the grand daughters. Judge MorroW tendei.ed con gratulations on behalf of thn company in the following appropriate and very feeling speech: • "lir. Craft as his name implies, is crafty, and caught - me With guile. He has imposed upon me the pleasure of-congratulating you on thiS Stith anniversary of your wedding. It is not a light diitY, but lam happy to know that all present, 'whether in the bonds or out of them, are glad to' extend to you not only congratulations, but respect, love and honor: -Your well rounded and hon.; orable lives demand this of us all. The long road you .have traveled together has been rugged, but may be it has', been less beset with thorns than the common traveler experiences. It has been shaded at times, but the cloud lad its .silver lining. The home beyond where hived ones' . await you has been constantly in- view - and onward and ups and the, path has lead, and is still leading. The love of family Mid friends has been constant and not unfrequent have they placed fragrant flowers in your. path way. The hard" rule _of experience, con ; strains us sometimes to judge men by their acts rather than by,what they say, but your lives must be juged as well by your words as by your deeds. Words of kindness and cheer, of encouragement. and reproof must be considered with acts of benevolence and uniform christian lives, to estimate the measure of your worth. These .words, deeds' and exampleS will influence men's minds here and elsewhere for good, ong after you "sleep the sleep that knows no waking." The beholders of a certain painting in tended to represent the setting .sun, were plizzled to know whether* it did in fact represent the setting or rising sun. It was just above -the horizon. _The tints and colors of the clouds at evening are_ similar to those of the morning: • Fifty years ago you.would have said, it is the rising sun= the Oilening of a glorious day; but now you see the shadows of evening 'descending and do you think it is the settin4'sun? Well, it matters but little; for if it is the setting sun of the natural (lay, it will ba to you the Tising,Sun of an eternal day; and you will sing With joy, • 'Sun of my snui:my Saebr dear. ( , 7;_ •, It is not night,if Thou be r hear." We hope however, .and pray that you will live yet many years, enjoy life in the future as in the past, an& on every recur rence of the anniversary of your wedding _day; be as happy as you were fifty years ago.•and'as happy as you are to-day. ' Ac cept congratulations and love of all." • COMMENCRMENT EXERCISES OP TIER SUSQUEHANNA COLLLE;/- • ATE INSTITUTE.

"Hobbies" Wail pleasantly ireated by Miss Mabel Mei. Her essay; exhibited the most originality: As a -general thing the young hidies shouldivi criticised for not re.ading more distinctly. Miss Welles, and,M►.ga Biown, no 'doubt merited praise in no less degree thane the Otlmrs, but from the writer's position he , couM not hear them. • - - • Mr. John S. Bnia,gdon, delivered an oration tipm Mormonism, which set forth the origin and growth of this , "Cancer.iipon the body politic," and the evils which would necessarily result from its: unrestrained growth. It was a strong attack against the evil, and manifested' clearness of thought, and the ability 'to 7rite in an agreeable ad • convincing manner. The oration upon Daniel Webster, by Mr. WI: liam B. Kennedy unfolded the character of that great statesman. His life, pub liO, and private, was a noble one, and al though, having many imperfections, was ono of devotion to truth; , His defences -of Christianity are a valuable legacy to the christiati world. The writer has a good discrimination of character. • ' Russian Nihflisalkwas ably defended by kr. Herbert S. Putnam. The nihilists of Russia have been unjustly. condemned. While 'unprincipled men have identified themselves with the cause of the nihilists, nevertheless, It is supported by men, who desire honest government. A government that will, ennoble their countrymen rather than degrade them. One that will give, equal rights and privileges to all classes. The oration reflects credit _upon the author, both inits composition, and its delivery. Mr. George B. Taylor, the valedictorian of the class, presented an oration' upon the "Necessity of • Civil Service Reform;" a question of vital interest to the country.' His langinige was very fine. .The composi tion excelled in rhetorical finish. . The ar guments were strong and well directed.- After the oration he addreised a few par; 'ting words to Professor QUinlan, thanking him as the representative of. the teachers of, the Institute for the kind attention, and advice that had been extended to the class while under Weir instruction. He then ad dressed his classmates, speaking of -their pleasant associations as a class, and the wide field Of usefulness that' was open be fore them. • - ProfessOr Quinlan then presented the di: plomas.. Dli 'Mabel Black • and Mr. George B. Taylor, - graduated in the Latin-Seientific, Course. Miss Einma S. Welles, -Miss Anna -F. Thomas, Miss Stella A. Brown Cora M. Bowman in the Academic Course, and Mr. '.l - Ohn S. Bovingdoti; B. Kennedy and Mr. Herbert S. 'Putnam in College Preparatory Course. The hall was densely crowded. By Way of suggestion, some kind of provision ought to:he made in regard to seating the audleneefon these .oc .casions. Friends of tli school, who are interested in its welfare ought not to be put to such. serious inconvenience in ob-; taining.seats.
