'For the second time within a couple of months a passenger train has been saved fromssible disaster on the Midland di'visio'n by the quick action of a farmer, resident in the neighborhood.

AHANGE IN MARRIAGE ACT"' A According to an act passed by the Legislature at its recent session• all clergymen who wish to perform mar- riage ceremonies in future must be registered with the. Provincial Seen- tart', a penalty of $600 being fixed for failing to so .register. This law collies into affect about July 16th, af- ter proper proclamation by the Lieu- tenant -Governor. The idea is to keep 'tab on all those performing mar_ riages. In case of removal the min - is will probably have to notify the Provincial Secretary of his new place of residence, In a couple of months, also, the clerk of the municipality will be the only person qualified to issue mar- riage /Menses. Hitherto several per- g °' sons in a co 't •were usually ap- anci:ted, very often jewelers having the appointment, They often sold the wedding ring at the same time and an eneregtic and businesslike jeweler could ]seen tab on the whole performance, and no doubt some of them id. When a did. Young man bought an engagement ring the dealer could delicately call his attention to the fact that he could also supply a 11- cense and when the license was called for wedding rings could be displayed and before he knew where he was the prospective bridegroom was all fi . �c c up 1 with t t h n t i o h n to d o but talc speak to minister. nice line for a ter.
