he is the favored one in all the girls'
opinions. Weddings are fairly boom-
ing here. No sooner has the excite-
ment of one nuptial cooled than an-
other couple are seen standing on
the shore waiting restlessly for the
"Gordian knot" to be tied so that
they too may launch their bark upon
the bosom of the sunny.aea of mat-
rimony. On the evening of Wednes-
day of last week, at the residence of
D. Zimmer, John Bothwell and Miss
Rosy Biggins were united in the
bonds of wedlock, the nuptial knot
being tied by the Rev. D. 13. McRae,
pastes' of Kuox Church. After the
usual excitement consequent upon
the launching of hymeneal boats the
two made one accompanied by a
chosen retinue set sail to eastward.
Having reached Tepsiol.+orean Har-
bor they anchored for the night and
as they tripped the light fantastic toe
in the mazy dance not a shot was
heard nor a cbarivari note. Morn-

doubtless heaving a sigh of relief as
they Stretched their weary limbs on
their accustomed beds. May bless-
ings full and free bo the attendants
of Mr. Bothwell and his bride and
when time shall have robbed them of
the vigor of youth and their barks
shall have waxed old and tottering
may they be hailed into that haven
where time writes no wrinkles on the

A little talk has been stirred up
during the past week over a report
of a contest for the Reeveship. The
Reeve has been elected so often by
acclamation that it caused a little
talk when it is stated that he may
be opposed by Deputy Reeve Milne.
Report says of the above contest does
take place Councillor Bryan will walk
into the Deputy Reeveship. Nomi-
nation day will set all rumors at rest
however. The past year's Council
has given very general satisfaction.

A correspondent has visited the
museum of Prof. Henry A. Ward,
the Rochester scientist, who is pre-
paring the skeleton of the mammoth
elephant Jumbo, and is also making
a model of the animal, the largest
work of the kind ever attempted in
this country. The model will not be
finished until next spring, although
it was at first calculated to have it
completed in two months. At the
present- stage of the work Jumbo
looks like an elephant made of lath,
although the shape of the body, head
and limbs is remarkably perfect.
The animal stands on a frame of
heavy oak timbers bolted together, in
a position as natural as in life. Two
iron rods, each of two-inch solid met-
al, run through each limb up into the
body, where iho framework of the
great beast is constructed, The
framework le composed of more iron
rods and oak timbers, bolted together
in the strongest possible manner.
The rods and framework extend into
the head and upper part of the trunk
the rods really taking the place of
bones. Upon the framework is nail-
ed inch -square strips of basswood.
The general shape of the animal do -
pends largely upon the manner in
which the strips aro placed and the
different lengths they are cut to.
Although at first glance the elephant
appears to be made of lath, a closer
examination reveals the really artis-
tic work which has been done in
shaping it, and the wonderfully
strange way in which the parts have
been made. The hide is in two
pieces, and it will require much
stretching to place it over the model,
although that is as near Jumbo's
original eine and shape as it is pos-
sible to make it, The tusks will be
of ivory, screwed on iron rode pro-
jecting from the head. The eyes
will be of glass blown especially for
the purpose. They will be the nat-
ural size and color. The building
for constructing the model had to be
made expressly for the purpose. On
the top of the 'skull is a cavity over
two feet in width and in some places'
nearly six inches in depth. This
was the wound, if it can be called
such, which was inflicted when the
locomotive struck the great beast,
The lower jaw and other fragments
of the skull will be united to this por-
tion when the skeleton is mounted.
Iu a building near by the bones of
the' skeleton aro placed ready to he
united.
