Vair, executor, offers the Galt Re-
porter for sale. The newspaper
fraternity of Ontario would indeed re-
gret to see the Reporter pass from the
Affrays, though the death of the late
Owner may necessitate this. The pa-
Jrr has been controlled by the one

CLUBBING WITH OTHER PAPERS.—
The Mitchell Advocate has adopted the
same rule as THE NEws-RECORD and
says :—"The Advocate has been de-
luged with circulars of late from pub-
lishers of the big and little city papers
asking to club with them, some of the
dailies offering us rates as low as 75c.
per year, and the big weeklies at 50e.
In all cases these circulars have found
their way to the waste basket. We
never have and never will help to build
up other papers at the expense of the
Advocate, and we are surprised that so
many country sheets adopt a system
which, in the end, must prove ruinous
to thew own circulation.
Wednesday Weddings.
Last Wednesday was unusually in-
teresting to massy Clintonians from
`the fact that it was known several
weddings were to take place, among
them a double wedding.
. WEIR—PATTERSON.—Mr.Wus. Weir,
of Goderich township, was married at
Bluevale last Wednesday to Mrs. Jame
Patterson. The happy event took
place at the residence of the bride's
brother, Mr. Joseph Pugh._Rev. W.
H. Moss officiated. Mr. and Mrs.
Weir returned home the same evening
and are now "at home" to their friends.
Personally knowing the many good
qualities of the groom we have plea-
sure in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Weir an
extended life of happiness and contin-
ued prospeity.
PALMER—PROCTOR.—A very quiet
and happy event of local interest took
place on Wednesday evening, Oct.
30th, at the residence of Mr, and Mrs.
Wm. Proctor, Canton Avenue, Detroit,
when their only daughter, Ella, was
united in marriage to Dr. J. W. Palm-
er, of Jefferson Avenue. The cere-
mony was performed by the Rev. Mr.
Sexon, of Betlany Presbyterian church.
The bride wore a gown of white
Japanese silk, trimmed with pearls and
white satin ribbon, and carried a
bouquet of bridal roses. The bi ides -
maid, Miss Laura Matheson, was attir-
ed in pale blue silk brocade, trimmed
with pale blue velvet and cream inser-
tion, and carried a bouquet of pink
roses. The groom was attendeby
Mr. J. Alexandra, merchant of Glens
Street. Supper was served to all who
were in attendance. Dr. and Mrs.
Falmer will be at home to their friends
lifter November 15th at 776 Jefferson
Avenue. Mrs. Palmer's many friends
in this section extend hearty congratu-
lations.
LAURIE—Twrss. — On Wednesday
afternoon at 1.30 St. Paul's church was
of special interest to a large number of
young and elders people. At the ap-
pointed hour Mr. Robert Laurie, a
popular young gentleman of Hepworth,
formerly of Palmerston and Clinton,
and Miss Lottie Twiss, of this town
(daughter of the late Alexander Twiss)
were joined in the silken bonds of
matrimony. As the bride and brides-
maid (Miss L. Worthington, town)
both dressed in fawn, entered by the
main entrance, and the groom and his
support, Me. J. W. Essery of Palmer-
ston, by the side entrance, Miss Maggie
Jackson manipulated the magnificent
organ and the wedding march pealed
forth. At the same time Rev. W.
Craig of Petrolia and Rev. J. F. Parke
entered from the vestry and, assisted
by ' the latter, the estimable couple
•
were pronounced man and wife, 'the
bride being given away by Mr. John
Twiss, her step -brother, of Seaforth.
Tho bridal party and friends adjourn-
ed to the Waverly House, where Mr.
and . Mrs. S. Pike served a grand wed-
ding feast. The presents testified
stronfier than language the high esteem
in which the bride is held, comprising
as they did a magnificent collection of
china and silderware, furniture,
jewelry, gold watch, fine linens, fancy
work and many household require-
ments. The bride for many years was
an active worker in St. Paul's S. S. and
a member of the Bible Class, and was
deservedly popular with all classes of
people. Mr. and Mrs.. Laurie left on
the 4.45 train for London, Detroit and
other points, and will settle down to
the realities of lite at Hepworth, where
the groom is station agent. To both
we extend the congratulations of the
whole community.

THE DOUBLE WEDDING. --Inside the
comfortable residence of Mr. Wm. S.
Harland, Rattenbury street, between
fifty and sixty guests had gathered
from Petrous, Toronto, Wingham and
other points to witness the marriage
ceremony at 3.30 p. in. which made two
highly respected young ladies and
gentleman wives and husbands. Miss
Carrie M. T. Simpson, sister of Mrs.
Harland, and Mr. James Elliott of East
Wawanosh, assisted respectively by
Miss Washington of town and Mr.
Wm. Elliott (cousin of the groom) of
the same township, were two of the
principals. The bride was dressed
most becomingly in a handsome rich
cream trimmed with butter lace, while
the maid of honor wore pale blue. The
happy couple were stationed under an
artistic blue bell trimmed with natural
roses and myrtle sprays. Rev. 3. W.
Holmes was ably assisted by Rev. W.
J. Ford in the ceremony in accordance
with ancient form.—The other two
happy principals were Miss Emma,
second daughter of Mr. Robert Mason
of East Wawanosh and niece of Mrs.
Harland, and Mr. Matthew H. Elliott
of the same township. Their assistants
were Miss Annie Howe of town, and
Mr. Robertson of Bluevale. The bride's
trosseau was of rich cream with yellow
satin trirnmiug. Both brides wore
beautiful long white silken veils,
orange blossoms and white roses. The
second maid of honor was attired in
pink and as the couple appeared with
their assistants under a beautiful pink
bell, trimmed with natural roses to
match, the scene indeed was very im-
posing. Added to the happiness and
solemnity of the occasion, the blinds
were drawn, the brilliant lights turned
on, and the happy throng witnessed
such rich splendour as the eye seldom
meets. Rev. Mr. Ford was in this in-
stance assisted by Rev. Mr. Holmes,
while Mr. W. S. Harland gave away
the bride (Miss Simpson) and Mr.
Robert Mason performed a similar
duty to his daughter. In proper order
the sweet -toned piano pealed forth the
wedding march from the touch of Miss
Harland, daughter of Mr. J. T. Har-
land, The ceremony over, congratula-
tions were sincerely extended Mr. and
Mrs. 3. and M. H. Elliott and all sat
down to the time-honored feast. The
presents were sueh as would grace any
occasion of the kind. Both couple left
on the 6.55 train for their future homes
in East Wawanosh. The Messrs

GUY BROS. LAST NIGHT.—A large

duced a number of new specialities this
year Which add materially to the show.
The statuary work of the Guy Bros. is

While Thomas Moore and his men
were working at the tar and gravel
roof of the cry kiln of the Union fac-
tory, Wingbam, the tar caught fire in
the pot. Planks and boards were
brought to pile over it to smother the
fire, but the boards also were caught in
the blaze. Water was called for and
Robert Cornyn took a pail and threw
it on the hoards. Some of the water
fell into the burning tar, and of course
there was trouble at once. The tar, as
soon as it was struck by the water,
splashed forth and Robert, who was
on the leeward side, received a volume
of burning tar, covering his head,
hands and face, burning him very sev-
erely. He is still under medical care,
but is recovering. Robert had just
come from Toronto the evening prev-
ious, and he certainly met with a warm
reception.

HE WASN'T REGAN.—Det ective West-
cott, of Exeter, received word last
week froin Clinton, that the hiding
llace of James Regan, the escaped
unatic, had been found in Goderich
township, near Lake Huron, and that
pieces of his clothing had been found
in some brush, which he had used for a
bed. Mr. Westcott left for that place
early on Tuesday, and made a thorough
search of the woods, and discovered
the place where it was supposed his
man had recently been. On coming
out of the woods he noticed smoke
issuing out from the woods, which was
a thicket of cedar. He notified all the
parties in the immediate vicinity to he
resent at 8 o'clock a. m., on the fol-
lowing morning. Some 17 men, the
stalwarts of Goderich township and
Bayfleld, appeared on the scene.
Smoke was still seen to be rising from
the same direction as was seen the
previous evening. The invading army
circled around, and carne upon the
place where Regan was supposed to be,
but to their surprise they found a
tramp sitting beside a lighted fire
mending a pair of old mitts. Upon
being questioned, he gave his name as
Daniel McGinnes, of East Wawanosh.
He said he had met Regan two weeks
ago, near Belgrave. How far his story
is true it is very hard to tell. The
feelings of the lunatic hunters could h
more easily, imagined than described.
Mr. Westcott has had several suc
journeys and experiences during th
past five weeks, looking for Regan,
besides losing time and money. This
man Regan is dangerous, and th
pany has been very fortunate so far county should give a liberal reward fo
this eeasnn, as it has not had any his capture before any more injury i
serious fire losses. done by him.
Wingham.
Ou Thursday evening week, just as
the bell tolled the hour of six, the spirit
of Sextus Kent, sr., passed away at
the ripe age of seventy-four years and
ten mouths. He had been ill for some
months prior to his death, but a to
the time of his recent illness he had
scarcely ever known what it was to
have a day's sickness. Mr. Kent was
born in Staffordshire, Eng., and was
brought to Canada by his parents in
his infancy. His parents settled at
Byron, near London. (then a promis-
ing place),,but London, then known as
"The Forks," has eclipsed it. The
deceased, with his parents, in 1824 re-
moved to London township and fol-
lowed agricultural pursuits for about
ten years and removed to the Gore.
On 24th September, 1840, he married
Martha C. Clark, and settled on lot 9,
con. 0, Gore of London, and in May,
1852, engaged in merchantile pursuits
at St. John's (Arva). In the stirring
times of 1837 he took the field with our
militia and continuously served (after
having passed through the Military
School) until 1866 and attained the rank
of Captain of No. 3 company in the 7th
Batt. Deceased came to Wingham in
November, 1866, and resided here until
his death. He leaves his widow and
two children (Mrs. Thos. Stilea and C.
F. Kent) surviving ; two children, Ed-
win Kent and Mrs. B. Willson, of
Wingham, predeceased him, leaving
families. He was the true type of a
gentleman, kind hearted, unassuming
and charitable. He let not his left
hand know what his right hand did.
He was a life-long Conservative in
politics and a firm supporter of the
Church of England. He was a keen
sportsman, particularly a Waltonian.
He was of unflinching honesty in pub-
lic and in private, and the "colonel," as
he was locally known, lived, respected
by all who had the opportunity of
meeting him in business or otherwise,
and his death will be deeply regretted
by everyone. The bereaved family
have the sympathy of all who know
them.
