THEIR GOLDEN WEDDING DAY.

Doctor and Hn. Joseph F. Tuttle Cele--brste the Fiftieth Anniversary ofjggg ,V Ttaoir Marriage.

Long lives and busy, useful lives have characterized the family. Dr. Tuttle, as is well known, came of the old and sterling New Jersey stock, but few are acquainted with .his early history, although his life here among us lies open like a goodly book. His father was the Reverend Jacob Tuttle and he was, indeed, a remarkable man. Apprenticed as a carpenter when a mere child he resolved on higher things. He determined to educate himself for the ministry and he did. The reverend Dr. Armstrong became interested in him, and the lad every day, after working from sunrise to sunset, would walk four miles to recite his lessons to the good old man. In this way he prepared himself for the Bloomfield Academy from which he was finally graduated. Soon after graduation he married a Miss Ward and with her brother embarked in the woolen business. The free trade which followed the war of 1818 bankrupted them,' however, and resolved on success they walked 1,000 miles to Ohio and back on a prospecting tour. Mr. Ward soon emigrated to that State but Mr. Tuttle not for several years. He became pastor of the Presbyterian church at West Milford, N. J., which had a membership of nine. For many years he labored assiduous-' ly, it sometimes seeming that the "apple jack" mill across the road from the church' did more harm than he could do good, finally, however, his efforts were rewarded and after a gracious revival lie found his membership raised from nine to ei&hty-eight. In iasa he moved to Ohio and there engaged in the ministry, supplementing his rather meager salary by farming. At, this time Joseph Tuttle was fourteen years of age. He had had four years training in the best schools of Newark, where he had lived with his uncle, Win. Tuttle, a leading man of the day and editor of the Sentinel of Freedom. Upon arriving in Ohio Joseph was taken for a year by his uncle, Mr. Ward, then a prosperous farmer, and so great an aptitude did he display that he was made overseer of the place. Although young be was large and powerful and possessed of tireless energy. He loved his work and he resolved that he would devote his life to farming. It became hi* ambition to be one of the large farmers of Central Ohio, and he worked with this end in view until his course in life was altered by a rather singular circumstance. In 1836 his older brother, who had always been very dear to him, returned from the East. He had just been graduated from Princeton College and was a young man of excellent ports and rare culture. Joseph at once perceived the difference between them. He was as strong and as able as his brother in in every way but one. That difference seemed almost to place a barrier between them and he resolved to receive the education he had so far refused. His parents were delighted with his determination and he was placed in the preparatory school at Granville. From there he went to Marietta College, where he was graduated, entering Lane Theological Seminary at Cincinnati soon alter. ,Jn 1843. having «.

Fifty years ago last Tuesday at Rockaway, New Jersey, the Reverend Barnabas King, D. D., stood in the parlor of hiB own house and pronounced the beautifully solemn words which united the lives of his daughter, Susan Caroline, and Rev. Joseph F. Tuttle.

That substantial old brick house still stands in Rockaway, but of the eighty guests who gathered for that happy event on October 1, 1845, not over twelve still live to-day. Half a century has passed away and through all its changesfand its overturnings that evening's bride and groom have lived together after God's holy ordinances, and their married life, happy and serene, has been blessed to them and through them to very many others. Few are the couples whq live to observe this anniversary, and when two people so generally loved and respected as Doctor and Mrs. Tjittle are able to celebrate the completion of the fiftieth year of their life together, a double interest attaches itself to the notable event. Golden weddings are not new things in the family of Dr. Tuttle. Bis father and mother the Reverend and Mrs. Jacob Tuttle, celebrated their fiftieth anniversary and then lived several years longer before death dissolved a union so long blessed. Only a few months ago the older sister of the Doctor and her husband, Matthew Long, of Missouri, celebrated a similar anniversary and now Doctor and Mrs. Tuttle celebrate their golden wedding day.

completed his Junior year in the seminary he resolved to visit New Jersey and did so during his vacation. It was on this visit that he met at Rockaway, Miss Susan King, the daughter of Rev. Barnabas King, D. D. It was not a storied case of love at first sight but the young minister and Miss King met frequently and before the vacation ended became very much attached. When he returned to the seminary they began a correspondence and a correspondence in those days meant considerably more than it does at present. Among other things it meant fifty cents a letter. The young divinity student wat gallant and prepaid his postage. He also wrote often but rejoiced in so doing although at great expense. This courtship so begun was happily consummated by the marriage of fifty years ago Tuesday. It was just such another glorious October day

As to Bloomers.

The ministers of Terre Haute have taken a day off and discussed the bloomer situation. All had something to say, of course. The opinions of three of them, who are well known here by reason of previous residence, are appended:

Dr. Tucker, of Centenary church, thought the costume should be the beat suited to the work engaged in. So much has been said about dress lately that the women can wear whatever they choose to. If the women are to ride in the busy thoroughfares they must wear what will best protect them frpm danger."

Dr. Hickman, of the First Methodist Episcopal church is opposed to bloomers, because they do not consist with his conception of woman's place in family, chnrch and State.

The Rev. Mr. Hunter, of the Presbyterian church, the president of the Civie Federation, said he thought bloomers the only reasonable costume and the only thing against them is prejudice. Bloomers are the safest, and he Is not sure that they are not the moat modest costume. So far as he is concerned he. wouldn't care if all the women of hia church should attend services attired in bloomers. It wonld show good sense, and, while it would cause comment for a time, after the novelty had worn off nothing would be said about it. It would certainly show better sense than tight lacing.

For Beef.

B. A. Archey & Son Tuesday brought in a fine car load of fat cattle from Chicago. They were sold to the home butchers and will be used here for meat. Our portion in time past has not all been meat of this character. Broken down steers and superannuated bulls have figured to some considerable

extent on onr menus.

this—as brightly prophetic of happiness in their life of activity and labor as Tuesday was emblematic .of declining years crowned with peace and honor. That wedding of fifty years ago*as other weddings of that time, had little of the pomp and circumstance which grace the nuptials of to-day. There were no rehearsals, no attendants, no banks of

and roses, but how

much that simple solemn service meant, Tuesday and its memorleir bear evidence.

The wedding trip was to Ohio by stage and steamboat and it was a trip more formidable than encircling the globe would be to-day. They settled at Delaware, Ohio, where the groom was called as pastor of the Presbyterian church. Two years they lived there and Dr. Tuttle was then called to Rockaway, N. J., to become assistant pastor in the church of his father-in-law. A few years later he became the pastor of this exceUent man who was distinguished by a continons pastorate of 56 years at the Rockaway charge. The life of Doctor and Mrs. Tuttle in Rockaway was an ideally happy one, as it has always been, even when in 1862 they came to Crawfordsville,then a straggling western village, began assisting in the upbuilding of a struggling little college. Their life here is its own best commentary. Its rich fruitage speaks for it more eloquently than words can tell. Not only has their lif for others been peculiarly blessed but also their private life. Not a death has broken the circle of their immediate family. Their four children and their six grandchildren aU live. The children of Doctor and Mrs. Tuttle were J. F. Tuttle Jr., of Denver, Col., Arthur Ward Tuttle, of Oxford, Wis., Mrs. B. B. Thompson and Mrs. C. L. Thomas, of Crawfordsville. Naturally Tuseday was one of jby and thankfulness to these two, whose lives have meant so much and who have been greatly and so deservedly blessed. Tuesday afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock and from until 10 that evening they received their intimate friends who came to rejoice with thf in attaining what so few attein, not only years, but usefulness.

THE RECEPTION.

Dr. snd Mri, Tuttle Receive a Large Numbe* of Friend.."® 1mlme&

The receptions given Tuesday afternoon and evening by Doctor and Mrs. J. F. Tuttle in honor of their golden wedding were most enjoyable affairs and a large number of their friends were, present (to congratulate them. The reception rooms were decorated with salvia, the flower with which the home of Mrs. Tuttle had been decorated fifty years ago on her wedding day. There were also many other beautiful flowers imgevidence, they being sent by the friends of the Doctor and his wife. The guests were entertained most hospitably and the receptions attested that during their long wedded life Doctor and Mrs. Tuttle had acquired the art of entertaining perfectly. Many beautiful gifts, appropriate to the occasion, were presented and at the evening reception Dr. M. L. Haines on behalf of the Indianapolis alumni of Wabash College presented an elegant painting by the artist Steele. Its title is "October" and it is one of Mr. Steele's best efforts. To the remarks of Dr. Haines, Dr. Tuttle happily and feelingly responded. The guests adjourned at a seasonable hour wishing their entertainers many happy returns of the day.

The sports from CrawforSsvllle who. attended the Terre Haute races Tuee-'lp day deny having lost much on Que JF Allen. The reports from there, how*/ ever, are different.
