AT THE ORCHARD HOUSE. At this popular hotel Mrs. Ella
Orchard received her friends.
The parlors were filled at an early hour by gentlemen and their wives, representing the best fam-
ilies in the city. Music was furn-
ished by an orchestra and the ladies of the party saw that the pianos were not idle. About 10
o'clock the company was invited
to the dining room where a feast
of good things had been prepared
such as ice cream, cakes, cof
fee, nuts, candies, and fruit. The
guests highly enjoyed themselves
and the fair hostess is to be con-
gratulated upon the success of
the most brilliant affair of the
kind that has been held in
Bloomington for many a day.

Harrold. Besides the relatives
there were present Rev. and Mrs.
A. B. Philputt and their little daughter Louise, Prof, and Mrs. Atwater and their son Munson, In all a company of twenty-six. On the walls of the parlor in evergreen were the dates '32'82. The bed in the family room was covered with a quilt made for the bride of fifty years age, the very fine needle work upon it done by her mother with a skill and accuracy of outline unknown to the ladies of the present generation. At 1 o'clock the company sat down to an elegant din-
ner. The table extended the entire length of the dining room and was loaded with good things. The large turkey rested on a platter of rare blue china over fifty years old, and a bronze pitcher was used which has been in the family for half a century. In the center of the table was a minature lake on which floated a
duck made of butter bearing on
wings and back three twenty dollar gold pieces and on the head and tail two shining half eagles. May Mrs. Campbell live
'to make another duck of butter
as yellow, for her own golden wedding and find it covered with eagles. The delicious watermelon cake and basket of grapes and bananas brought by Mr. Cooper were highly complimented and the large bride's cake of snowy cocoanut was fully appreciated. After dinner the company assembled in the family skiing room and joined in singing old time hymns, Mrs. Philputt leading. The scriptures were read and prayer was offered by Rev. A. B. Philputt The following sketch of family history was read by Prof. Atwater: Joshua Hoover Was born Dec. 26, 1805, near Nicholasville, Jessamine county, Ky. He was married Dec. 20th, 1832, (just 50 years ago to-day) to Mary A. Rhorer, who was born in Brown county Ohio, near Cincinnati, Dec. 14th, 1812. The bridegroom lacked six days of being twenty-seven, and the bride was six days apast twenty. After the
birth, Dec. 15th, 1833, of their
daughter Martha, now Mrs. Henry Rhorer, they determined to
move to Indiana. They arrived
not live to see their three ren Mattie, Raymond and John - grown to maturity. In gathering here at the golden wedding of these aged friends I have no doubt that each one of
the guests revives many fond memories of times and scenes gone by, for this family home has
boon a central meeting place for a wide circle of friends and relatives. For myself I take great pleasure in calling up the many acts of kindness shown to me since, nearly 18 years ago, I was
received under this hopitable
roof. To this aged couple, on this glad anniversary, 1 desire to extend Congratulations and make an expression of my affection and my appreciation of many favors.
James Hawell, one of the best farmers in Monroe county, is the owner of a sow that is 17 years old, she
is the mother of 350 pigs, one of
which he is feeding now that is 12 y ears old. Mr. Hawell raised the sow, so there can be no doubt but that she is as old as he says she is. The trouble with farmers is that they generally
sell or kill their brood sows too
young, as they make better mothers after they are well matured.Frank Carmichael is
improving slowly; he has had a
long seige; been sick since the 15th of August.
Chrestein Davidson wishes to thank the public in general, and his neighbors in particular, for their kind assistance during his wife's illness.

Nathan Smith. After about five
years they sold their farm and
bought again a little North of
where Clear Creek Church now
stands. Here their only son,
Jerome B. Hoover, was born Dec.
22d, 1841. Being prosperous in business Mr. Hoover determined to have a better home than they had yet enjoyed. The result was the commodious sub-
stantial brick farm house which
now stands near Clear Creek railroad station. On this place they lived for nearly twenty years having provided a good house for himself and family Joshua Hoover was most active in securing the erection of the Christian Church near by for the worship of God, and he now has in his possession the old subscription lists and the accounts with the workmen who did the labor. Selling again, about 1858, ho bought the farm now owned by Henry Rhorer, lived on it a short time, and removed to Bloomingtott in 1860. Here he has continued to reside for more than 22 years.

After tb& tables were cleared dancing was in order, and it was kept up till about 2 o'clock in the morning.
