Moorhouse, of Winghatn, performed the ceremony. The guests consisted of a number of the relatives and friends of the contract- ing parties. After the ceremony the guests sat down to a• sumptuously pre- pared dinner. After partaking of the good things provided by the host and hostess, the young people took a drive to the village of Molesworth. After tea the clining-roohn was cleared and the evening was pleasantly spent in reel and dance. The many presents received by the bride testified to the esteem in which she is held by her friends and neighbors. The young couple intend leaving for Vancouver Island in three weeks' time. Their many friends wish them a safe journey and many happ,y and prosperous years in the country of their adoption. The party broke up in the "wee sma' hours," highly delighted with the pleas- ant time they had, happy- to meet, sorry to part, but happy to meet again. Zurich. LOCALITIES.—Mr. H.

WEDDING BELLS.—One of those inter- esting events which Icause a pleasant kipd of worry, took place at; the Dal- rymple Farm on Wednesday; tire 29th ult. This was the. tnarriageof Miss Eliza, second daughter of Mr.; Robert Dalrymple, to Mr. John McLean, sec- ond son of Duncan McLean, Esq., all of this township. The marriagelceremony was performed by Rev. S. Acheson, of Kippen, for whom we prediht a busy time in the near future, as quite a num- ber are preparing to buckle on the benedictal armor, and we'believe a matrimonial boom to be inevitable. The bride, who was handsomely lattired in cream cashmere, was attended by her sister, Miss Maggie Dalrymple, who was similarly attired, while the groom was supported by his brother, Mr. D. Mc- Lean. At the conclusion Of the cere- mony many hearty congratulations were offered to the contracting parties, after which all were ushered into the dining room where they partook of the bridal feast, to which, it is ueneceLes ry to say, tI all did ample justice. A lair e number of married people were pres nt during the afternoon to witneas the ceremony and welcome the ben* edict and his fair young bride into their blissful ranks, but in the evening the 'greater number of them retired , and made room for the lads and lasses,who with the -assistance of the melodious strains rendered y Messrs. Horton and Steacy, violinists f Lumley, whirled away from the minds of the newly married couple the last impres- sions of single solitude and Capacitated them for the pleasures of the happy regions of matrimony. The members of the family of the bride elect spared no pains to secure the enjoyment of al present, and a most pleasant 'time w s spent throughout. 1 The guests of the occasion made the bride the recipient of many handsome and valuable presents, which amply testified to the high esteem in which she is worthily held and we congratulate Mr. McLean in choosing as a partner in life such an stimable young lady.

GRANGE SUPPER.—The annual social under the auspices of the Hullett Grange was held at Londesboro on Wednesday nig o t of last week, and was the most suevessful of the many interesting oc- casions of this nature that has yet been hel . For the "inner wants" most abu dant provision had been made, and afte all had been satisfied, the crowd rep ired to Bell's .Hall, which was filled to its utmost chpacity. The Worthy Ma ter of the Grange, Mr. James South - comb, occupied the chair, and in his opeaing remarks, referred to the growth of the grange, which, now being nearly one hundred members, was the largest in the Dominion this was the 13th an- niversary, and the deep interest mani- fested in the regular meetings and in the discussions which took place relat- ing to farm work, showed that the far mers fully appreciated the social and other advantages of the Grange. The programme embraced singing by the Londesboro Quaitette, by Miss Hattie Rumball, of Clinton, Mrs. Ramsay, of Londesboro, comic character songs by Mr. Shane, and M. Floody, of Blyth, music by the Blyth Vocophone Band, dialogues by W. Cole and H. Snell, jr., F. Cole and W. Gray, a recitation by Miss E. Gray, and speeches by the Messrs. G. Hood, Sunshine;P. McKen- zie, Lucknow '• Robert McMillan, Hul- lett •' Rev. D. M. Ramsay, Londesboro; Dr. Young and R. Holmes. The music of the Vocophone Band and the singing Of Mr. Shane "brought don the house" eyery time. Mr. Hood's speech related mainly to the first organization of granges, and their object and aim. Mr. McKenzie alluded to the combin- ations against farmers and the necessity of this class uniting for self-interest, and told them that they themselves were to blame for these combinations, because they had returned men to power Who have no interest in the farm or farmer other than to get his support. Mr. McMillan, who is a "chip off the old block "so far as speaking ability goes, gave an excellent address on the con- dition of the 'farmers, past and present. Mr. Ramsay gave his farming exper- ience, in a humorous easy way. R. Holmes quoted statistics from the Bur- eau ef Industries report, relative to the productiveness of the county of Huron and acreage cultivated.

An account of rumors being in circulation to the effect that I had undermined Mr. Joseph Kidd, in his endeavours Li get back his etuck from his creditors, and fearing that some per - sone throughout the country might possibly be- lieve that such was the case I consider it my duty, net only to myself but to the Public gener- ally, to, clear myself from this imputation by stating that, although requested by the Trustee's agent to offer for sonic part of the stock, I posi- tively declined until on further solicitation I was assured by the Trustee's agInt that the creditors had positively declined to accept Mr. Kidd' s offer and had determined to place the stock on the market. I then made an offer, it was accepted, and I was only doing what was open to others to do. The Public will therefore see that. I have not acted in any underhand way in the matter. M.
