The Golden Wedding of Mr. Levi Jones and his wife, of Salmon River, was celebrated with spirit on Thursday of last week, July 18th. He was the first white child born in the town of Schuyler Falls. His wife's father was the first white child born in the town of Manchester, Vermont; and he was also the first white man ever married in that town.
