Dr. and Mrs. Joseph Anderson in Waterbury. l on Thursday, January 24,was’an occasion ' of great interest. All day long the rain fell in torrents and showed no Weariness in welt-doing as the night drcw=on. Toward evening the Waterbury pavements were coated with ice, making locomotion difficult and dangerous. So that the. out-of-door cou- -ditious could scarcely have been the c unfavorable. But the enthusiasm of Du. Anderson’s friends Could not be ext‘n guished by a winter rain-storm. Tle First. church was ablaze with ligbt‘and good cheer. Lecture roorri, parlors,dtess- lugtroums and study were thrown open - to the guesrs who came in great numbers. No little preparation had been made in anticipation of their arrival. The newly-carpeted conference-room had been transforrticd intoa banqueting hall, the material repast taking the place of the spiritual there wont to be. served. All the rooms were beautiful with' potted plants - and with flowers whose perfume filled the air with balm. Bridal lilies were conspicuous and most lovely. Members of the First church and of other churches in the city tlrronged the appartmnnts, while a few from other cnmtinitics graced the occasion with their presence. Music was furnished at intervals by the excellent. choir of the Church, by the A'mphion club of that city, and by an orchestra. All went merry as the merri- cst kind of a marriage bell. . A little after eight, Mr. A. E. Rice, an member of the First church, called the assembly to silence, and pro ceeded to address the pastor. congratula- ting him and his wife on completing twenty-fin: years of their married life, and expressing the hope of all that they might live to see the silver change to gold in 1909. He Spoke of the youthful ap pearance of the bridal prir, notwithstand- ' lag the fact that “the frost that never melts” had settled upon the pastor’s face. No sign of advancing years. he remarktd was visible in Mrs. Anderson’s case, her hosbsnd doubtless havrng protected her so well that no frosts could fall upon her. After a few further words in a happy vein, be handed the doctor a basket of silver Coin, weighing, it is said. something like twenty seven pounds, and of the value of $500. ' Dr. Anderson responded feelingly, ox- prerfilug great afiectron for Waterbury and for the church of which for nineteen years holias been pastor. He dictated that the happiness of himself and family ' during all these years had been \o.y largely due to the kindness and ion: or his people. He wished for them the choicest blessings of earth, and the to wards of the beavurly Paradise. - Many other gifts were displayed in the pastor's stutfi. Conspicuous among them was the gold-headed cane, made of wood ‘ from Commodore Ferry’s ship, the Law- rence, recently voted to Dr. Anderson at the G. A. 1:. fair. An attached label bore the legend, “The Gift of 757 Friends.” Such was the number oIvotcs by which it was conveyed to him. Ten sliver dollars'werc presented with the compliments of Mayor Matthews. A dozen gold-lined spoons testified to the affection of Brooklyn friends. Dr; Anderson has been so thoroughly identified with the varied interests of Waterbury, that all the city delights to honor him. His pastorate has been especially fruitful in the development of 'broad viewa and a large-hearted and far- sceing charity. He himself has broadened and deepened in intellect and in charac'er as the years have rolled on. He is regarded as an authority in those depart- ments of learning to which he has given special study, as American antiqqities and Indian languages and life. Tho Smithsonian institute has secured his car vices in the presentation of the history of the Aborigines. Long life and a happy one to the worthy doctor and his estimable wife, is the wish of hundreds of their friends in Waterbury and elsewhere. Many of the people who knew and loved him till pastor of the First church in Nurwalk will be glad to learn of his ‘silvcr wedding. _.____...__— Apiong the Firemen. ”The Danbury and Norwalk railway company has completed the filling of its ice house at Bedding.

The attertion of our readers is directed tr the annual statttmnt of the Mutual presented in another column. This gre tt institution now has assets amounting to 3101148348.”. and a surplus of more than $12000 000. It paid on polices last year $18,959 360 51, I considerable por— tion of which sum . went directly to widows or orphans, in many instances re- deeming houses from absolute destitutlon. The Mutual differs from most other life compsniés in that it never encourages speculation in insurance. and never solicits the insured to take a larger policy than he can sfiord to carry. It does believe in moderate polices, hovvovér, and its aim is to persuade business men to set apart a small share of their profits yearly to pro- vrds for their families in the event of death' or financial disaster. The report will well repay perusal. m Harness and Saddlery.

James Gallagher of New Haven met with I genial and seductive smile the salutation ofa lively young person who accosted him yesterday as he was leaving his hotel as "Mr. ———-." “That is not my name." said he, "my-name is Gallagher, and I’m from New Haven." Mr Gallagher was hit at all disappointed when a few min- utes later another brisk and bustling per son seized him by the hand with " Why, htw do you do Mr. Gallagher? When did you, leave New Haven?" and proceed- ol to tell him that he was a son of —— (arming a prominent CitiZen of New Haven) bad lately returned from Europe, and just been up to New Haven to visit his mother,etc..etc.- Mr Grllagb. was not to be outdone in cordlality. He returned the greeting with great hea'tl- tress, was delighted to see Mr. —, and especially glad to hear that he had . just been on a visit to his mother. “Your mother,” strid Gallagher kindly, but firmly, “has been in Heaven ten years. I am glad to hear from her " The young man 100de puzzled a moment, and then, like the other young man in Scripture, “wants y exceeding sorrowful."

An excellent breakfast. dish is made of the remains of cold duck. .Cut them up, removmg all the bones; put them in a stew-pan, with a little butter, a small onion, sliced very ,thin, and plenty of salt; if any of the gravy was left, add that. One way to prepare onion flavoring for a vegetable soup is to take a large ' onion, remove the outer skin, then stirk clives into the onion and bake it until it is nicely browned. The pecular fisvor thus gained is relished by the epicure. One of the wisest precautions to take when you are baking is to have the oven perfectly clcan,snd yet it is one that is often neglected, and many'an otherwise faultless dish has been spoiled by the sifting of ashes from the upper grate in the oven.
