Crystal Anniversary
The fifteenth anniversary of the Marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Lyman MCELHANY occurred on Monday, the 15th inst., and was celebrated in the afternoon and evening by a select party of invited guests. Among those present were Rev. and Mrs. JORDAN, Mr. and Mrs. G. S. CAMPBELL, Thomas TRIMMER and daughter, Frank FOSTER, the Misses Annie and Blanche LOCKHART, Robert DOUGLASS, Campbell MCELHANY and others from McDonald; Mr. and Mrs. Ira GRIBBEN of Ingram; Mrs. FOSTER and Miss Ada FOSTER, of Venice, and others. A splendid supper was served, at which the bride and groom of fifteen years ago were given the post of honor. The time was very pleasantly spent in conversation, wise and otherwise, and music vocal and instrumental, but no dancing, unless it was a solo jig by TRIMMER. At an early hour the guests departed for their homes, leaving behind them many beautiful and valuable mementos of the occasion in glassware in great profusion. On thing to be regretted is this, although unavoidable, was that two sets composed of eight pieces each, were exact duplicates of each other. The occasion was indeed a very enjoyable one, as all such should be, and the happy couple have the heartiest good wishes of all who were present.

The New Concord, O., Enterprise gives a detailed account of the golden wedding of John BALLENTINE and Allice Anna GIFFIN, the former a native of Scotland who lived many years about Canonsburg, and the latter born and raised near the Allegheny County line. They were married fifty years ago and lived hereabouts for 23 years. Twenty-seven years they lived near Concord.

Dr. John FIFE, of Upper St. Clair was married Sept. 23, 1852, to Miss Rachel AIKEN, and celebrated the 40th anniversary of their marriage on that date of this year.

The venerable 'Squire John A. MCCORD and wife, of Canonsburg, will celebrate the 60th anniversary of their marriage on Christmas.
