The Huron Old Boys of Toronto. - About 450• sons and daughters of Huron county, renewed old acquaint- ances at the annual reunion of the Huron "Old Boys' Association last Friday night, in the Temple build- ing, :Toronto. The assembly hall was attractively decorated 't with the beautiful silk banners of the associ- ation, while the handsome gowns of the ladies added to the brilliancy of the scene. From 8.30 to 9 p. m. a reception was held by President G. A. and Mrs. Smith, after which a most defiglitful •musical entertain- ment was contributed by Mrs. A. Gillies, contralto; Miss M. McDon- ald, elocutionist; Miss Irene Jack- son, -Soprano; Miss Eva Maran Boyd, contralto, and mandolin solos by Miss B. Corby. At midnight supper was served in the buffet.

It is made by attaching a piece • of plank to the front reecte on 'each side so that it acts like a mould -board of a :plow. This makes a hard track, does away with pitch • *holes, and prevents the horses fro.m crowding, as they have "a smooth hard track to travel on."- Thie:is a very simple and Useful de- vice and was invented by Mr. John Richmond. It has been used with great .adventage by farmers and teamsters in the vicinity of Blyth for several. winters... Several farm- ers in this vicinity also ;used -it. in the early part, of this winter and why it is not more generatly used we do not know. One difficulty, understend, is that when the snow- gets very deep the horses are unable to get- through it and draw the sleigh after them, and thee, again, when the, centre of the road gets higher than the sides, as has been the Case this winter, the device is not effective. Biet, . there is no doubt that if geater atamtion were given io' tlik;'roads they could be very much improved and' could be made more comfortable and safe for -the travelling public. This is a matter which • it 'would pay path -masters and township officials to give more attention to. A great deal of atten- tion is now paid th road making in .summer, and if more attention were paid to the winter roads it would be better. Married. -A very pretiy wedding of uniastral interest took place at the commodious residence of Mr. John McIntosh, Wednesday of last week, when •his daughter, Ida Marie, be- came the bride of Mr. George II. Stephenson, a prosperous young far- mer of, the Goshen line, Stanley. Promptly at four o'clock to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding match, played by Miss Etta Steph- enson, Varna, the bride entered the drawing room leaning on the arm of her _father., The : ceremony, which was a very prettyone, was perforea- ed by the Rev. Mr. Jennings, of Bay- field, and took place under an arch of smilax and carnations. The bride looked:charming in: a gown of white silk voile over white taffeta with the conventional veil and orange I blossoms, The- bridesmaid, Miss.! Eliza Jane Stephenson, wore a be- I coming gown :of brocaded white lus- tre. The growl, was ably supported , by his cousin, Mr. Ralph Steve.nson, while Mies Elsie Lynch made a very " pretty ring bearer and Master Ger- ald. MoIntosh acted as page. After - THE HURON EXPOSITOR the ceremony and congratulations, the company repaired to the dining room where all partook of a dainty luncheon. In the evening a recep- tion was given by the bride's father to which a number from the sur- rounding eountry cone be show their esteem for the bride and groom a,nd all spent a pleasant everting. The presents to the bride were both cost- ly and numerous, amongst 'them be- ing a crescent of pearls from the groom. We join. With their many friends in wishing them a long, hap- py and prospefous Married life. • The Worst Yet. -The worst block- ade of this season of blockades Oc- curred this- Week. Not only was it the worst in this neighborhood, but was the Most general throughout the northern and western part of the province. The mild weather of Sin - day last followed by sleet and snow storm on Sunday night and Monday seemed to completely paralize rail- way traffic. For two days and a half there were to all practical pur- poses no trains between Stratford and Goderich. A train from Gode- rich succeeded in getting through Monday morning, and another train from the west, behind a snow plow on Tuesday night, but only get as far as Dublin, where it had to remain until the following morning. The worst delay, however, was from the east, as we had no mail from that direction from Saturday night until nearly three o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. But bad off as we were we understand that in other parts of the ,province the. storm was much more severe and traffic more de- moralized. In proof of the fact that we are not as badly off as some of our nei-ghbors we might state that on Wednesday night a consignment of groceries was received here by express for merchants in Brussels, this being the only toute by which they could be got there.
