The animal vras apparently quite well on Tuesday of last week, but the following day became stiff. Tt was brought home and with difficulty removed to its stable where it has since remained so stiffened that it cannot move. The animal wile likely die. The cause is thought to be congestion of the liver. Mr. Taylor had sold the two horses for upwards of $500 but had not delivered them. This is the fifth or sixth stallion Mr. Taylor has lost within a few ream Anderson. Pym has corn in his fieldover 13 feet high, and lots of it. - Farmers have fmished seeding. -Ed.

Railway Cce, was un- ited in holy bonds ot matrimony to Min Alma Windsor, daughter of Mrs. George Windsor of Brown City, former ly a resident of McGillivray. The cere: mony was performed by Rey. W. J. Harper in the presence of threehunclred spectators among whoni ware abut forty invited relatives and guests. The wed- ding march was played by Mrs. v. M. Fox and the happy couple took their position before the communion rail. The bride attired it: a suit of white silk was presented by her senior brother John Windsoe. Two flower girls,in the persons of little Ina Windsor and Alma Schenricker, carried baskets of flowers. The bride and groom were supported by Miss Lulu Riley, dressed in a suit of canary henrietta. and Mr. S. C. Gage brother of the groom. The ceremony concluded, congratulations were freely offered, after which it most sumptuous repast was partaken of at the honie of the bride's mother. The couple were the recipients of many valuable and useful presents. Mr. and Mrs. Gage left on the evening train east for Det- roit, Wixom, Saginaw andaother points. After Oct, 10th the:happy couple will be found "at home" in the cosy resid- ence on Well Street,I3rown City, lately leased of John Windsor. Another bark is hiunebed upon the matrimonial sea. May it glide smoothly o'er tho water striking bub few rocks, and eventually anchor in the desired haven.--Coet. +.11,1011•••••••••• Were N,•T Yore When thotwanda of people are teeing Hood's Saraaparilla to overcome the weak nese and lauguor whieh are 0 common at this seaeon, why are you not doing the same?
