Septuagenarians Married.
A more than usually interesting
event took place in torn on Thurs-
day afternoon last at the hour of five
o'clock when two of our oldest resi-
dents were joined together in the
holy bonds of wedlock. The persons
to whom we refer were Mr. Daniel
Kernick, formerly of Usbiwne Town-
ship, and Mrs. Martha Brewer. The
ceremony was perforated by Rev. Dr.
Hannon, at the home of Mrs. Brewer,
in the presence of only a few of the
contracting parties' most intimate
friends. Both Mr. and Mrs. Kernick
have lived longer than the allotted
nuanberof years, being over seventy
year's of age, and during their long
lives have always been highly respect-
, ed. It is the ea►ne>t wish of their
many friends that th' y may be spared
to live and enjoy many mote years.
They will continue to he residents of
Exeter and will occupy the house on
Go•
dley street which bas for several
i years been the home of the lady in
Iquestion. The Anvut'.ATE extends
congratulations.
IWooer's Institute Notes.
The regular meeting of the \Vonien's
institute was held iti the Reading
1 Room of the Town 118l1 un Friday,
April 7th. This meeting. ns was
characteristic of former ones, was
well attended. Deciding at a previous
meeting to secure flower seeds and
bulbs for distribution among its mem-
bers for experimental purposes, has
thus far proven to be a master play in
creating a deep interest in the work
of this body. Still greater achieve-
ments are certain to follow as the
work goes on. A very interesting and
practical talk was given by Mrs, Gur-
ney on "Horse Keeping" in general
and "House Cleaning" in particular.
I)r. Antos, who was secured by the In-
stitute to deliver an addssess on "Flori-
culture" was then called upon. The
doctor in his usual able manner went
fully into the details of preparation
and cultivation of the soil, the care
and attention afterwards necessary
y
and the results to he expected. The
able address, coupled with the secur-
ing of the best varieties of seeds and
bulbs, will undoubtedly result in the
beautifying of the surroundings of the
members' homes.
