Weddin= lfiells. On Wednesday morning last one of those pleasant events, which are inter- esting to both young and -J1d alike, took place in the Trivitt Memorial church—it being the marriage of YIiss Fanny Davis, only daughter of Mr. and. Mrs. Richard Davis, to Mr. Samuel Sweet, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Sweet, all highly respected citizens of n y Exeter. The beautiful ceremony of the Church was pr,formed by the rect- or, Rev. Fred Honing Fatt, and now "Sam" and "Fanny,"as they are fa- miliarly called by their host of friends, are " one," The bride wore a travel ling suite of Fawn Diagonal, made in the "Empire " style, and trimmed with seal brown velvet. The wedding dress is of London Smoke Satin, trimmed with Lace Butello, and her reception gown is of Rucligose Silk Bengoline,. trimmed with figured Silk Batiste. There was a large attendance to wit- ness the ceremony, after which the newly -wedded couple passed down the aisle followed by a number of admin ing eyes to the carriage which was in waiting at the church door to convey them to the depot. They took the train northward via Palmerston, Owen Sound to Thornbury, where they will be guests of the bride's relatives. The bride was assisted by Miss Sarah, sister of the groom, and the groom was assisted by Mr. Jos, Davis, brother of the bride. The Anvo0ATn joins with the many friends of the newly wedded couple in wishing them God speed. COMMENTS. What we heard our young lady and bachelor friends remark:— " Didn't the bride look lovely. They were a model couple." "'The singing by the Choir was love " Weren't the responses done in good style." "Fred 'Knight did the Wedding March to perfection," " The chimers gave them a good "send off" anyhow." An old "bath,"was heard to say, "The church is the right place' to be married, and will have my wedding there when the time comes, " Velem for Site.

Clinton New Era.—"F't.rmers tell us that the fall wheat is looking splendid,. that it has not been injured in any way by the frost, and that so far as their observation extends, it promises exceeding well:" About five o'clock Sunday morning a fire occnred inthe harness shop of Mr. Chas. Eacrett, Sarnia, formerly of Exeter. The building was completely, destroyed, together w.th its contents. His stock was insured. The country in this vicinity is look- ing unusually well. The grass is com mencing to show green and the fall wheat is also showing up in good shape In fact vegetation is much further ad- vanced than is usual at this time of the year.

Another sehome is being worked for defrauding the public It is a picture scheme and is so arranged that the law cannot, touch them.

When the customer reads over the contract at his leisure he finds that he has agreed to pay $12 or $15 foe a cheap lot of. paintings. If he fails to take the whole lot the hidden language of the contract states all money previously. paid shall be forfeited. Those of our readers who cultivate the luscious pear noticed last season that for some reason the leaves of the trees seemed to suffer from blight about the middle of May. On close examin- ation it would be found that sap was exuding copiously about the axils of theleaves and dropping on the foliage below and sometimes running down the branches to the ground. The mis- chief is done by an insect known as the pear tree psylla, a small, yellow, jumping creature, .flattened in form and provided with a sharp beak with which it punctures the bark of the tree The remedy recommended is to paint the twigs with a strong solution of soft soap and syringe the foliage with strong soapsuds. A little judgement may be used so as not to make the so lution too strong and thereby injure the foliage Fisiiery Natters. The Government has decided that the proposednew regulations with re- gard to fishing in Lake Huron and Lake St. Clair will not be. put into force this season, su that fishermen will be able to ply their vocation un- der the old regulations.

There has been much complaint about this alteration, and it intended that the open season shall be changed bacl to May 1, and probably it was by inadvertence that the old season was altered, Cir- culars have been sent out from the chief warder's office to the deputy war- dens not to prosecute or take cogniz- ance during the present month of April of any trapping of muskrat which may take place, but this does not apply to shooting or using guns in the taking of muskrat.

April Fool - A tight rope performance was adver- tised in the town papers to take place on the market -square .on Saturday last People crowded in from all parts of the country to witness the daring feats,but as the hour for the"show to commence arrived, and the hands of the clock con- tinued to go around, people began to realize that it was an April fool joke, and that they had been badly sold. Just as the crowd was about to disperse a thick rope was run across main street from the Hicks House to an upper win- dow in Davis' grocery store, when a cheer went up, and all n'w satisfied that the performance would certainly take place. For hours the throng re- mained on the sidewalks with their eyes turned towards the rope, but for some unexplained reason the professor failed to put in an appearance, and ]anguagelmore forcible than polite was freely given expression to, One man who sat in a wagon from one to four o'clock, until his limbs became numb, was heard to say that he would never spend a dollar in Mitchell again, that the people were a lot of rogues, and that it was only a scheme to draw a crowd to town. The joke was a . good one and was perpetrated by some Strat- ford wit, who sent an advertisement to the .Advocate and Recorder.
