Grey, the occasion be. ing the marriage of Miss Bessie Holmes to John Mieklejoha, of Molesworth. The groom was supported by his brother, D. Mieklejohn, of Morris, and the bride's sister, Mies Minnie Holmes, lent the usual kind offices to the bride. Rev. D. B. McRae, of Craubrook, tied the knot in his usual eifioiont manner, after which all partook of a beanteoue repast pre• pared for the mansion by Mrs. Holmes. The remainder of the evening was very enjoyably spent with mule, games ceo. The following list of preeents attests in a slight degrta to the esteem in which the bride is held by her many friends Butter cooler, dozen silver spoons, parlor lamp, fruit dish and Dupe and saucers, silver prairie disb, water pitoher, silver piokle dish, copy of i1'loore's poems, mantle drape, crystal fruit disb, ohina cake plate, lemonade sot, table cover and two pairs of towels, pair of plaoques, bed spread, table oover, dinner set, tidy and pair of towels, bread and oaks plates, lemonade set, silver fruit dish, celery disb and water glasses, lemonade eat, nappies and goblets. Following is another account of the fire in which Abel Tindall was a sufferer. —The dwelling hogs[ on the farm of Mrs. G. Gordon on the boundary about two miles east of Listowel, was burned to the ground ea an early bour on Friday morning. It was a largeframe structure and was occupied by two families, Mrs. Gordon living in one part of it, and Abel Tindall, the tenant on the farm, living in the other part. Altogether there were nine or ten occupants in the house at the time, and they barely escaped with their lives, and only partly clad. None of the furniture o£ either family was saved. The fire is supposed to have caught from the stove pipe or chinmey, as a fire had been started a short time previously by Mr. Smith, father of Mrs, Gordon, who *vont back to becl again. When discover. ed the fire had made such headway that there was barely time to get the occu- pants all out. We understand that there was some insurance on the house, also on Mrs. Gordon's furniture. Mr. Tindall the tenant, had no insurauoe, and as their personal effects wore entirely consumed the ;*family was left in a very trying position. Mr. Frllis wno lives nearly opposite, kindly provided then* with tem- porary shelter at his home. The farmers of the Wallace and Ehna boundary have come to the assistance of their unfortun- ate neighbor, and with the assistance of liberal contributions from merchants and others in town have done considerable to- wards providing Mr. Tindall and his family with household effects.
