audience of refined people. There were
but few, if any, vacant seats, and the
lightning changes from one act to another

one of the finest parties that has
cycr visited Penn Yan, and those of our
theatre-goers who missed the entertain-
merit have reason to regret the fact.
Should they come this way again the
D era House would not be large cntugh
to hold the crowd that,wul greet themalt
was a first-class show in every particuar
and devoid of all vulgarity.

Golden Wedding.
One of those rare, but interesting oc-
casions, the celebration of the fiftieth an-
niversary of a wedding, was observed by
Mr. and Mrs. CIIEI'ICS"E. Whitney, on
Monday cveniug,Novcmber 5th,which oc-
casion brought together at their home in
Durban at numerous company of relatives
and fricnds,who showed their love, good-
will, and cstccm by their . many and valu-
able gifts, prominent among which was
gold coin amounting to nearly seventy
dollars, '
Their family consists of .five sons and
one daughter. Two of the sons were
unavOidably absent—one, the youngest,
living in Missouri, the othcr at Sag Har- '
bor, L. I. . The occasion was'a very cn-
joyable one. At an early hour the com-
pany sat dovvn to a table hountifully
spread with good things. An original
poem appropriate to the occasion, con-
tributed by one of the family, was read
at the table. j
Mr. W. is the third of his family who
lived to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary
of his wedding, and Mrs. W. the second
of her family. Both: Mr. and Mrs. W.
belong to families who were prominent
among , the early settlers of the tow‘n,
Mrs. W. being the great-granddaughter
of the Rev. S. Marther, the first pastor
of the church in Darien. Both families
were active participants in the Revolu-
tionary war, and Mr. and Mrs.‘ W. furn.
~ished four sons as their contribution to
their country during the‘ late civil war.
Mr. W. was one of a company which, at
the outbreak of the California gold fever,
was among the first to attempt the
journey by the overland route, and was
about a year in reaching the land of gold.
The hardships, privations and incidents
of the journey as related by Mr. W. rival
anything in:Tremont’s or Kit Carson’s ad-
ventures. After rcfreshments a few old
familiar tunes-were sung, in which Mrs.
W. joined. The company then gradually
disperser].

Hubbard, living on Cove street, East Nor-

since for his health, leaving his family in
Texas, and when the reconstruction of
.the drawbridgc was commenced engaged
.to work upon it. On the afternoon. of
Oct. 23d, at the time of the Hartwick-
Roberts stabbing affray on the east end
of the bridge, he quarreled with two men
who, it is said, threatened his life. qA
d y or two afferwards Burke disappeared

.of money in his possession, as be had
been paid off. but a few- daya,before. He
left all his eflects at the house of his
father-in-law, and, as he was a man of
marked affection for his family, his dis—
appearance seems strange. A letter to
his wife in Texas bad, at last,accounts,_,
failed to. elicit any information “of his
whereabouts. One of the men implicated
in the quarrel has since left town. A
reporter of the GAZETTE called at' the
residence (if Mr. Hubbard yesterday _to
ascertain if Burke had yet been heard
from or whether there was any indica-
tions that he had been foully dealt with,
but the gentleman was not to be found.
