There was no appeal this year at the Court of Revision ; the first time for about twenty years that this has been the case. The oldest resident of Culross has passed on to join the great majority at the age of one hundred and two. Death overtook Mr. Michael Brennan of the 14th con. on Wednesday of last week and carried off the only centen- arian in the township. For nearly half a century the people of this sec- tion of Bruce have been more or less familiar with the deceased and his death makes another break in the list of pioneers of Culross, Mr. Brennan was born in Ashland County, Ireland, nearly one hundred and two years ago. He grew up in the 'Green Isle', was married at Sligo, and came to Canada while still a comparatively young man, For ten years he resided in Quebec province before moving to Bentinck in Grey County, Ontario, where he re- sided for some years. Afterwards he spent some years in Greenock town- ship and he took up the farm in Cul- ross on which he died, in the year of the great land sale, 1851. He was an Orangeman and a member of the Church of England. His partner in life passed on before him some nineteen years ago. Their union was blessed with six children, three boys and three girls. Two of the boys died while quite young, the third, Richard, who was an engineer, perished some years ago on Georgian Bay with the boat on which he worked. The remaining three members of the family are still living.—[Teeswater News, A quiet wedding took place at the residence of Chas. M. and Mrs. Ritchie, Morris, at 4 p. rn., Wednesday of last week.

A very pleasing and solemn cere- mony took place last Wednesday even- ing in St. Stephen's church here, when William Wilson of Huron township, and Miss Minnie Hodgins of Kinloss, were united in the bonds of holy matri- mony. They drove all the way from Kincardine here to have our popular English church clergyman, Mr. Hall, tie the nuptial knot. He was the bride's rector before he moved to our town. The bell in the church tower rang out merrily at half past seven announcing that in half an hour later two persons would be started on the pleasant road of happiness,together, By the time that the bell rang the second time at 8, a large number of people had hastened to see the cere- mony performed. The bride was dres- eed in cream silk flowered cloth, with wreath of lily of the valley flowers in her hair and a beautiful bouquet of white carnatlona and flags in her hand. When the bell ceased its merry tune Mrs. Hall took up the cheerful notes by playing Osborn and Rice's grand wedding march. The bride and groom at this juncture came up the church aisle to the chancel, where Mr, Hall was awaiting thein, After the cere- mony was performed, Mr. Ilall intro• duced the newly -married couple to the audience, when one after another they cane forward and congratulated thein. The remark of many was "Did not the bride look handsome ?" Very stylieb Dress Goods, Mullins and Fancy Silks have just arrived if you want up to -date goods at right prices come to Gordon's.
