The ADVOCATE joins with their many friends in wish- ing them success wherever their lot may be cast. A lot of people will lose money by investing in gold mines, or rather gold mining stock, which is a very different thing Tlie great bulk of the money subscribed for gold mining stock does not go towards the development of the mine, but finds its way into the pockets of the projectors. A good rule to follow on the part of those who are disposed to invest money in gold mining shares is to invest just as much as they are able to lose, and no more. Then if the money does not return single fold or double fold, or some an hundred fold, no harm is done and burdensome re- sponsibilities, have not been incurred. The London election trial, bas now lasted thirteen days Counsel con tinned their argument Tuesday; and it is thouglit the case may last all this week.

On Wednesday, at high noon, in the home of Mr. 'rhos, Gregory, William street, was enacted a scene that results in Exeter losing another of its fair eiti zens, and in which Exeter contributes to the happiness and completeness of another distant home, the contracting parties being Dr. Luther T. GUI, of Gibsonburg.Ohio, and Miss Annie E. Gregory. The ceremony was celebrat- ed by the Rev. W. 11. Locke in the presence of a few relatives and inti mate friends of the contracting parties. The bride was most becomingly cos- tumed in white crepon, with beautiful silk and pearl embroidered front and trimmings of meeklin and chiffon, with a shower boquet of handsome white. roses and hyacinths. Miss May Gill, sister of the groom, assisted the bride and was attired in pale pink cashmere, exquisitely trimmed with lemon silk lace and pink ribbons, and shower bo- 1uet of pink and demask roses. The groom was supported by Mr. Arthur Gregory, brother of the bride.
