On Wednesdev, 1VIareli, 7th ult., Mr. Wm. Baker of Fairfield was united in mairiage to Miss Lydia, ,third daughter of Joremirh Hersenen of Devon. The ceremony was perfonned by the Rev. E. Kershaw of Centralia. After the pleasing affair was oonsummated, a few friends of the contracting parties gathered at the borne of the young lady and spent a con- siderable part of thenight in joyousness and rnirth, after which the Bacchanalian party repaired to their several homes feeling intieli fatigued. May the wedded twain live lives of usefulness mid honor the residue of their days is the wish of the people. •-•-•••-• 1-iensall. , It has been very cold here the last few 'days. 'How is it in Exeter? Our merchants are securing their spring trade. All political minds are talking of the sudden death of the speaker of the Sen- ate. Rev. Simpson, of 13rucefield, for the I.O.O.F., visited No 223 Monday evg., and reports everything as satisfactory and member e well up in their work. Our enterprising tailor, Mr. Evans, was in New York for a few weeks securing the latest styles, and despite the "New York Silken Plug" which he wore on his return, he was to all Appearances the same flesh and bone. Messrs. Charters and McPher son, the champion skaters of Huron attendet a eearnival in Seaforth on Friday evg., and as usual secured the 1st and :2nd prizes respectfully, with all ease. The boys know how to strike. A large crowd assembled at the G.T.R. station to witness the departure et a warm ber ofmeople for Manitoba, Dakota and other western points. And methinks some of the fair ones were very loath to leave good homes for the Western Wilds. Oh, ye daughters! why evil ye marry? Mr. Wm. Hawlathavr arid daughter, of Attwood, were in town visiting friends. The pot huuters who killed a deer last week in Hay swamp, should be brought up and fined to the full extent of the law Messrs. Nicbol and Lonsburg are about to give up charge of the flour mill. • We have not heard whom their successors are. John Evans, baker, late of Exeter, passed up on the train Tuesday evening with a lady, whom '.ie shall call 1VIrs. Evans. We wish then joy and happiness through life. ' Farquhar.

A large number of friends and ac- quaintances were in attendance to do honor to whom honor 18 due: Twenty-five years of hoilest effort and offhanded heartinese have won for the couple the kind respects and fleeing regards of those around, and they have merited this mark of leaner. We were met on the verandah by our host and hostess, who greeted us with a sweet smile, a good shake of the hand and a hearty reception ; and at hand were their three sons to wait on the guests. We did not only find things pleasant outside. but upon entering there was the same kind at- tention manifest, and everything was clone to afford the assemblage a pleasant and en- joyable time ; especially by the young and prepossessing ladies, while the bride and bridegroom were not a whit behind in their usual frank, open and engaging man. ner. After the greater number of the guests had arrived we sat and talked until supper wae announced, Mien there were 2 two hones whiled away in the partaking of the good things provided, which wore ex- cellent in quality and teetotally served. After supper there was. a grand entertain- ment, consisting of music, speeches, recita- tions, readings, &e, The rev. Mr. Godfrey took the chair and gave the opening ad- dress.

It had been announced by bills and pro. graimnes that Mr. 8. P. flails, B. A., of Goclerich accompanied by Misses Wilkinson Graham, Truman mullein Belcher would contribute the major portion of the pro- gramme and this it" seems was sufficient guarantee to ensure a successful entertain- ment, for at theeippointed hour the large church was well filled by an attentive and appreciative audience. Besides the above talented performers the following local talent assieterl very materially by readings and recitations in making the entertain- ment a decided success viz :----itlesers. P. T. Hall' e T. Andrew, * Martin, and J. Johns. • All the parts were so well taken and every attempt so successfully' carried out that it is useless to enter into partio- Ulan. Still in justice at least to Mr. Halls and his assistants from Goderich, it must be said that they fairly captivated the aedience as was shown by the repeated eu. cores aud applause which followed every effort. Miss Wilkinson sang several se- lections in excellent style aud v as loudly applauded. This young lady is the happy poseessor of it beautifully clear voice, aud the rendering of "Angels over bright and fir," mid "Lullaby," called forth the rare musical talent with which she is gifted. Her voice was eimellent and the pathetic charas - ter of these songs was portrayed in a very touelaing manuer. Miss Graham, who appeared with Miss 'Wilkinson iu "The ilaeter stood in the Garden," arid in all of the quartette Performances, and who poseesses • a very sweet plaintive "mice, rendered her parts with remarkable musi- cal precision, and won for herself the M3 - teem and plaudits of the eaudiedce. Miss Trueman WhO accompanied the quartette as accompanist cleservea great praise for the excellent manner in which she acquitted hereelf in that capanity, but is well deserv- big of special mention for the 'di:emetic povier with which she recited "Rodger aud I" and "Autsoa" the latter in response to encores and a speciel request sent up from the audience. Miss Truman Was accord- ed groat applause for her splendid efforts. Mr. Belcher also came in for a great share of praise for the manner in which he ren- dered "A Hundred Fathoins Deep," and "Alone in the Desert."
