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. Sad Death in t'aborne.
