Eippen.
Nos. -Mr. James Mulholland, who has
been spending a three monthsvisit across
the ocean, returned home ialely on Tues
day, looking well, the breezes of the old
land appearing to agree well with him. Mr.
Mulholland holds a better opinion of Can-
ada than ever.-3Ar8. Janies Crozier and
baby, of Seaforth, were the fore part of the
week visiting at the parental home of Mr.
and Mra. Joseph Upshall, of the !village. -
Mr. John C. Mellie, of Seaforth, who figured
so well by taking first prize for gents' char- _
eater costume dress at the masquerade and
racing carnival of that town, is an old
Kippen boy. Our Kippen boys are bound
to come to the front no matter where they
go -A large sprinkling from this vieinity
took in the Hills Green anniversary on Sab-
bath and on the Monday evening, and. all
speak highly of the gratifying success and
also . of the `hospitality of the
of the people, of Hills Green. Your
correspondent, can voach for the same. -
Mrs. Wm. Watson, of the village, we feel
sorry to note, has for the piuit week been
confined to her bed, she having been ver7
poorly- and under medical treatment, but at
time of writing a change seems to have
taken place for the better, which her many
Ifriends will be pleased to hear. -The hum
of the saw is once more heard in our mill
yard, and those who purpose building the
coming summer are getting home lumber. -
The many friends of Mr. James Chesney, of
the third conceseion of Tuckersmith, will be
sorry to bear that he is not enjoeing his
usual good health and is now confined to
his bed, he having had to undergo an oper-
ation on one of his legs. His friends will
hope for his speedy recovery.-Messra.
Shaefer and McKay- are now killing many
hogs and shipping them to the Toronto
market. -The roads are now neither good
for runners or wheels, which has stopped
traffic to a considerable extent.
Cromarty.
Noeeg.-The long term of good sleighing
has been brought to a sad end by the sedt
weather of the past week,butseldom have -we
been blest with such a long continuation of
such good roads at this season as we have
this year, and farmers in this vicinity had
made good use of it. Old " Sol " will not
likely allow the next snows to lie so peace.
fully. -Mr. William L. McLaren has pur-
chased the fifty acre farm to the west of his
homestead, from Mr. Thomas Belle getting
possession next month. Mr. McLaren pays
$2,300 for it, and will now have one of the
best one hundred and fifty acre farms in the
county. He will now have plenty of room
for his Yorkshires,for which he:is becoming
-laMOUS. -We have had another shoemaker
eome to our village, but he has decided to
locate with Mr. McIlraith and assist him,
so Mr. McBraith will still hold the mon-
°ply in the village,which has the effect of in-
tensifying the usual happiness of his coun-
tenance. -Mr. and Ms. Alexanier Boyle,
who have been on the sick list of late, are
both improving and we hope soon to gee
them round again.- Miss Susie McLaren
is home to spend two weeks of well earned
holidays. -We are eery' sorry to have to
report the serious illness of Mrs.John Allen,
of Staffa.-Mr. and Mrs. Simon Miller very
plea.santley entertained a few of theirfriends
en Wednesday evening of last week, and
Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Hamilton did likewise
on Monday evening. -We are pleased to
note that Mr. James -Hislop's optic, which
has been so seriously indisposed for some
time, has become so nearly convaleseentthat
our worthy postmaster is beginning to look
like himself again. -Hon. Mr. Hardy was"
in Exeter this week telling the good people
there aboat the piggery and so on. Why
did they not come right to Cromarty instead
of dropping off in the suburban towns? Our
whole population would give them a hearty
reception and our police staff is quite suffi-
cient to warrant perfect safety.

W EDDING BELLS. -Another of those pleas-
ant events, which always causes a commo'.
tion in every neighborhood, was enacted on
Wednesday, the 9th inst., when Mr. Wil-
liam Doig, of the township of Howick, was
-waited irt holy bonds of matrimony with
Miss Janet Ross Patrick, second daughter of
Mr. Hugh Patrick, of the same township.
The ceremony was performed by the Rev.
Mr. Ballantyne, of Molesworth, in the pres-
ence of a large number of relatives and
friends of the contracting parties. The
bridegroom is the youngest son of Mr. Paul
'Doig, and is one of the most intelligent and
prosperous young farmers in this township,
and he has secured in Miss Patrick one of
Howick's fairest and most accomplished
young ladies. While the strains of the
wedding march were being played, the bride
entered the parlor leaning on the arm of her
father, and was handsomely and appropri-
ately dressed kr the occasion, and assisted
by her ;sister, Miss Mary Patrick, who also
wore a very becoming costume-. The groom
was supported through the trying ordeal by
Mr. John Doig, who diacharged all the func-
tions pertaining to that position, in a very
prorript and satisfactory manner. The cere-
mony, which made the twain one, and the
usual congratulations over, the guests re-
paired to the dining hall, where the tables
were laden with the choicest of food
and all the delicaeies of the season, which
doubtless would satisfy the tastes of the
moat fastidious epicurean. In the centre
stood the bride's cake like a colossal white
pyramid with dazzling ornaments falling
down ite sides. The bride and groom were
given the seats of honor and the wedding
dinner was then served to the favored
vieitors. After dinner many of the elder
members of the company again repaired to
the parlor, where the evening was most en-
joyably spent in games, music and social
hat, while the younger enjoyed themeelves
in the hall tripping the light fantastic toe.
Before midnight refreshments were Again
served to which all did ample justice. The
esteem in which the bride is held was ex-
emplified by the nutnerous beautiful, costly
and useful presents whiela she received. The
merry company broke up shortly before
daylight, and after wishing Mr. and Mrs.
Doig many blessings on their journey down
life's turbid stream, all repaired to their
homes, and quietneas once more fell upop. the
peaceful homestead. The young couple left
for their own home next morning, where a
large two-story brick residence was erected
last summer on his farm, and where the
young couple will new settle down to the
stern realities of life.
Rats Off.
An Englishman resident in New York
sends the following --" I had quite a bit of
fun on Labour day. I was on the big ferry
-steamer coming across the ten miles wide
bay, when I said to the crowd on board,
'Take your hats off.' What for?' was the
-reply. I laughed, and said, See those
ships over there? About 300, aren't there?
Well, see that little red flag banging at the
stern of each? Take your „bats off to that.
You have the fineat harbour in the world
here, but where are your ships_ to fill it?
This is the great American Labour day, and
1 cannot see a single Americen flag to bon.
aur it. Those 300 or more red flags are
Britian honouring your Lobour day; take
off your bats and return the compliment.
Where are your manners anyway? And the
hats came off."
-MissKate, eldest daughter of Mr. John
Carey, of Stratford, was united in marriage
to Mr. John Riedolph, of Walkerton, in St.
Joseph's church, Stretford, on Tuesday of
lad week. The bride is a most estimable
young lady, and highly esteemed by her
numerous friends in Stratford and vicinity.
Rey. Father Fogarty performed the cere-
mony in the presence of a large gathering.
•
Miss Eliza Carey, sister of the bride, was
the bridesmaid. The groom's' brother, Bin
Rudolph, of Brantfard.performed the duties
of groomsman, After the ceremony the
bridal party repaired to the reeidence of the
bride's parents, where a sumptuous wed-
ding breakfast was served. The bride Was
the recipient of many hand:same and useful
presents. Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph left next
morning for their future home near Walker-
ton, where they will be followed by the best
wishes of their many friends.
-A quiet but pleasant ai took place at
the residence of Mr. Jo Keen, of St.
Marys, on Tuesday eveni g ot..iaat week,
when his daughter, Miss M. V. Keen,.was
united in niarriege to Mr. W. D. Spence,
prinoipal of the St Marys public school.
The ceremony was performed by Rev. W.
J. Taylor, in the presence of the immediate
relative* only. The services of groomsman
and bridesmaid were dispensed with. The
bride has been a successful teacher in the
the public school of St. Marys, and for the
past year and e half, has filled the position
of principal of the Milverton public school.
She was very kindly remembered onler
wedding day, not only by the teachers of
St. Maim but by friends at Milverton,
Stratford, Kingston and St. Thomas. Mr.
Spence has been for many years the reaped -
ed principal of the public school_ of the
town of Ste Marys, in which,. time he has
roved himself a most painstaking and ell-
ient teacher, and has the best wishes of a
ost of parents and children for the future
appiness of himself and bride.
4 VICTIMS OF GOITER..
•••••••101. •
The Disease Is Brought on by Drinking
Snow Water.
The 'Smiley of the Rhone has been
quite- noted for its goiter victims, al-
though] ain happy to say' that through
the increased watchfulness of the an-
thorittes there now is an statement of
the disease. Many different causes are
assigned. to the terrible affliction -this
enlargement of the glands of the throat,
goiter, or "big neck," as it is some-
times called -send even the best inform-
- ed are far from being unanimous as to
its origin or prevention. The peasants
themselves say it is brought on by the
habitual use of snow and glacial water.
The Water is so cold it Sets as a counter
irritant, and so inflames the throat, but
this explanation hardly holds, as the
inhabitants of the upper regions are not
so often afflicted as are the people in the
lower valleys. The use of chemically
impure water, especially hard water, is
given as a cause.
-The experiment has been made where
the water of certain wells was used to
the exclusion of all other water: With-
in a short time goiter symptoms began
to manifest themselves where none
.had been before. Sometimes this dis-
elite is epidemic. An instance was
noted where in a garrison one out of ev-
ery 20 men became_ afflicted. Infants
are seldom born with goiter, but after
it once takes hold the progress of the
disease is very rapid. I believe that it
is rarely fatal, but because of this en-
largement of the glands and the conse-
quent disfigurement of the threat it is
most repulsive, and yet the n'at-i-'es are
so accustomed to seeing it that they do
not seem to care: It probably' is simply
a source of discomfort rather _than mor-
tification. In fact, in some Portions of
France, Italy and -Switzerland a goiter
is a thing to be prized and toi be exhib-
ited, for its possession exemPts a man
from military service. Young men have
been known to resort to certain wells
supposed to convey this poison to the
blood that they might evade i conscrip-
tion. „When Savoy ='-was- annexed to
France, vigorous measures were adopt-
ed to stamp out if possible this hateful
disease. There was Lt heavy penalty for
drinking the water of forbidden wells,
and then the little children were treat-
ed in the hope of ouring them. Lozen-
ges of iodine were administered, and
out of 5,000 children 2,000 were cured,
and more would have been helped had
not the parents ignorantly opposed the
giving of the remedies. The villages al-
so were Gleaned and sanitary measures
insisted upon. For, aside from all other
causes, it is quite agreed that goiter may
be transmitted or be sporadic. Like
diphtheria, it is a filth disease, and of-
ten has its origin in the negligent hab-
its of the villagers. These peasants re-
fuse to live elsewhere than in the old
"dorfer" (villages), each morning going
far away to the fields, but returning at
night to their overcrowded horoms,
where men, women and children, cows,
goats and donkeys dwell together fra-
ternally.:-Chicege Inter Qcean.
The citizen who is determined to
take care of himself alone is of very
little use to a community, and few tears
are shed when he takes his final de-
parture. -Birra i n gh am Age -Herald.
