Mr. A. Cole, of the 6th line of Morris,
was driving down the hill at the north
-end of the bridge here on Monday last
with a load of live stock, the sleigh ran

MATRIMONIAL. —One of those happy
events which young people are interest-
ed in, took place at the residence of Mr.
Thos. Jackson, of the township of How -
ick when his eldest daughter Jane was
united in the bonds of matrimony to Mr. 1
John Areher Coulson, also of Howick,,on
the 1st inst. Rev. J. H. 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.

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.

the nterest taken in the cause by the

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. Dr. Young, in
a humorous manner, reviewed the re-
marks of the preceding speakers: The
singing of God save the Queen brought
to a close an interesting entertainment,
and the Grange have reason to feel
proud over the success of the anniver-
eary.—New Era.

TO THE PUBLIC.
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.

To the Farmers:
I wish to contradict a report that is
being circulated by some unprincipled
agents and rival firms to the effect that
arn about to quit the manufacture of
agricultural implements, and that, there_
f ore, purchasers will not be able to get
their repairs from me.
These statements are utterly false and
Without foundation. I intend to carry
on the business in the future as it has
been done for the past 30 years.
I also wish to state that MR. nuoff

trusted to him will be promptly attend-
ed to.
