WEDDING BEMs. —Tueseay October lath
was a clay of much joy in our village, when
one of Bay's fairest daughters, Miss al aria
. Graybail was united in the sacred bonds
of matrimony with Mr. D. Durstein of
Zurich. The ceremony, which was pev-
formed by Rev. Mr. Ajager of the Evengeli-
cal church, Daehwood, took place at eleven
o'clock a. inat the residence of ,the bride's
father, and was witnessed by a large num-
ber of invited guests—friends of both
contracting partiet., After this part of the
ceremony was performed the joyfal com-
pany took seats around the table,which was
provided with all that is necessary to satisfy
the wants of inner man. It is not necessary
to say that ample justice was done to the
things which were provided by the good
folks of the house. Several hours were
theu spent in harmless amusements after
which tire guests took their departure,
giving their best wishes for the future
happiness of the wedded couple; and from
the mutat useful and costly permeate which
were left behind some idea may be formed
of the high esteem in which the bride is
held. • Mrs. Durstein is a genial good.
hearted young lady and a general ,favorite
with both olu and young and her absence
from our village will be greatly felt.

in a few years, two dwelling houses and

be amounted for except on the theory of in.

years, relict of the late George Erwin. De-
ceased had been ailing for about two years.

exempiary wife end. kind mother. She

fertility. It is true that vegetable matter
is largely carbonaceous, and grain crops
liberally fed with mineral plant food will
find their carbon in the air. Still the hard

grown on virgin soil, as it was in Ontario
during the early settlement. To this, at

When the soil loses its original stores of ni-
trogenous fertility, the quality of the

done. The ono way to prevent this and to
increase not only the quantity, but to im-
prove tbe quality of wheat, is to grow clover
largely. Clover is mainly and should be

Thus fed, it is toe only crop the farmer can
grow that will absolutely inerease the a-
