- The golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur W. Arnold of Avoca (Victoria), was celebrated on Tuesday. They have resided at Avoca since 1865. They were married at Ballarat by the Rev. J. Potter (afterwards canon) in 1856, and they have 27 descendants. Mr. Arnold was in Ballarat during the Eureka riots, and assisted in removing the dead and wounded from the field. Both he and Mrs. Arnold were members of the late G. V. Brooke's company when that celebrated actor opened the theatre at the Lamplough goldfield, then a canvas town of 40,000 inhabitants, now in almost deserted, mining centre.[2]
