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

a set of gold-band China, from the daugh-:

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." •

Among the young lady graduates, Miss .
Anna V. thomaS deserves praise for
her del enunciation. Her instrumen
tal; solo "Murtha,'.' .was also very finely
rendered': • • Miss Cora M. Bowman read an
excenen9_essay. It showed that the writer
base definable eommand of language. The
essay liewover 'wee toe long, and would
have lnist_ nothing by abridgment.
"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:

Course. Miss Einma S. Welles, -Miss Anna

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-;
