On Wednesday of last week Thos. Carr. of litucefield, and Jae. Duiabar, of Mb - field, felled, on the farm of Geo. Baird, one of the largest elms in the vicinity Of Brucefield. With a seven -foot saw they had a play of only a few indium, and though both men worked with a vengeance the sturdy tree resisted their efforts for the greater pan of the day, • Towards evening, with the as - stance of wedge and lever,the giant of 1 he grove was at last conquered and tell with a thunder-craeb, with its mighty arum spreadover the surround- ing meadow, while the snow was hurl. ed to the highest tree•tops. No less arduous was the task of our woodmen on the day following and the cutting of four 11.foot loge, kept them employed • the greater part of t,he day. thous. both were experienced workmen.. Ew- en in the top cut the saw had little ever a foot of play. The ohl king gives evidence of having weatherect the storms of six hundred wmters: He must. have gloried in his youthful strength of 100 years, ere Columbus discovered the new world. ' What stories he might tell of roaming bear or prowling fox, of tinard beaver or hungry wolf, of fluron hunter or Al- gonquin braves Truly, this monarch could laugh at history. To Joe Archer and Sandy Thomson was entrusted the still mete difficult task of transporting it to the saw mill. With skill and tact the butt end was soon elevated to its place on thesleigh bunks and dragged with ease towards its destination. But the enormous weight of the log was too much for even the firmly packed road and the wide runners cut though the path as through cheese, Nothing daunted our teamsters, took the side of the road, and withtheeleighspatin to the gra.vel,the log was at last lande An the millyard. Logs that were thought to be very lerge were insignif- icant beatnpoles when compared with I this monster. Our genial dealer, Mr Ament, claims this to be the first log around her e 1 hat ever beat his books. After careful calculation he estimates .the log at 1888 board feet. The second cut, containing over 1775 board foot, was readily handled by Joe with his Al team. '213e third and fourth cuts were also snaps for the teams of Thomsen and Archer respect- ively.

It was the occasion of the marriage of their only daughter, Miss Reatha Grace, to Mr Reubt n Grigg, of the 9th con. of Goderich township, and formerly of this township. At precise- ly 4 o'clock, in the presence of about 120 relatives and friends, the bridal party took their htand under a prettity, arranged, artistic wreath and. bell in the_oarlor...the_bridw-appearing-upon the arm of her father, who gave her away. The accompaniment upon the organ, meantime, by Miss Protise, of "Brown's Jubilee March," added glad- ness to the moments. The bride was sedated by her cousin, AliturFannie--Alx- lin, of Zion; the groom was sustained by his brother Oliver, of Goderich township, while little Miss OxIe Grace atoddart, of Goderich, also cousin of the bride, filled the position of maid' of honor. Rey E. A. Shaw, Beruniller, performed the eeremony. After the pima congratulations, etc.,. the happy party repaired to the spaeious dining room, where a. most excellent repast awaited theni, and full justice was ac- corded the generous hospitality of "mine hest"- a "right jolly gcod fel low." The bride an exceedingly popular and pleasant young lady, .who has grovvn up. in our midst, and will be missed tn social circles and Christian societies. The many pretty and use- ful presents attest to the esteeni in which she is held, More strongly than our pen can do. She •was most becom- ingly and exquisitely attired. The groom is well and favorably known in both townships, but we cannot readily forgive him, We understand that Mr and Mrs Grigg will take up "home- makiog" almost immediately, on the .9th Con., and will be at home to their friends at an early • date, Judging from the "snow flurries" we presume the first groomsman will not be long in the background. It was a very pleasant and happy gathering, and will not be forgotten in a day; it very "free and go easy" atmosphere pervaded the whole circle. The evening Merged into the "wee, Enna 'mire" ere the aseembly was broken up, progressive crokincle, Vied and instrumental: mina, social chit chat and luncheon being the order of the night. Some splendid selections on the violin by Messrs' Lowery and.
