McDonald, the popular representative of the Centre Riding of the County of Bence, lot 8, con. 5, Huron township.The interesting event was the joining in marriage of his slaughter, Mary B.' MoDonaltl, and .An- drew Stevenson. of Atwood, by the Rev, Dr. McLeod, of Huron thumb, Ripley, assisted by Rev. Mr. 11isDonald, of Glamis. The elite of Bruce, as well as -the bone and sinew of the county, wore present, and the largo and commodious building barely outlived room for the ]ergs number of guests present. The marriage gifts wore of a higher order than are usually seen at snip 000aeioos and were not only beautiful but also use. ful. The marriage feast after the cere- mony proper was sob the least interest- ing part of the proceedings. The cloth having been removed, speeches of a con- gratulatory mature were made by Dr. Tennant, Luoknow, Banker Jackson, Ripley, and the rev. gentlemen, when the entire party enjoyed themselves as they saw fit on such a beautiful night. That the sun may ever shine on the happy couple through Life as it did on the day of their union, is the wish of the Sen. tinel." The bride is a sister to Mrs. J. A. Young, of Mount' Forest, formerly of Ethel, and is known to a number in this localily. Blot r➢'e. .A. special meeting, of Connell was held ou Monday. Fall wheat is looking very poor in most places.

Bra -I6 seems strange that so many people are doomed toapeudthe rsmainder of their days in the County Poor House. I was somewhat earprised to learn through the columns of Tnn Post tbat Geo. Scott had at last to go to any such place. lklr. Scott was a person who had seen better days, but unfortunately for hire be was foolish, if we may so: express ourselves, to make a present of enough property in the West, so rumor ,stye; to . friends whom he thought would take Dare of him in his declining years and at a time when he would moat stand ..in need. of proper kindness from. those who had become the recipients of what would have kept him in good shape dnrinec the long- est period of his life. While he could work and look after things generally he was a fine old gentleman, but when that time had arrived, as it will in most oases„ that work was ant of the question, the next thing was "Over the hills to the Poor House." It does not reflect much credit upon those whom he confided in to Have Mini placed in the House of Refuge. I believeif more kindness was shown the living and Less nonsense chiselled on their tombstone it would no for better. OLD TIOYasTY. LT= rtux .
