REMINGTON.

Old Father Time Hit—upon a rare I page of his calendar last Friday, Feb. 27th. It was the sixtieth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Roy. To commemorate the event in a befitting manner the aged couple had a solemn mass of thanksgiving offered, at which they assisted and at the end of which a special belssing was invoked upon them. Fathet Dire ’honored them with an excellent sermon In Trenefir reminding them of the exceptional privilege which is theirs, in having attained by the grace of God, unto ths wealth of years, and congratu lating them in behalf of all present. Father Henneberger, of Goodland, also assisted in the services. Father Time also exhibited one of his pathetic contrasts, when at the end of the mass the feeble, tottering, aged couple was escorted to the altar by two bloomnig children as attendants, Francis Mathew and Cecilia Lord. And to emphasize his suzeranity from age to age, from genbration to generation he (Father Time) placed five grandchildren of Mr. and Mrs. Roy as assistants at the altar. After the services in the church an elegant “wedding dinner” was served at the home of their daughter, Mrs. Chas. Sigo, north of town. Many invited friends were present, who all contributed in making the day a happy one; likewise in making Mr. and Mrs. Roy feel quite young again. Ad multos amos.-—Contributed.
