HOME-COMING OF THE REV. AND MRS. TALBOT
BAKER.
Saturday was a gay day in the village of Preston, when
the rector and rural dean, the Rev. Talbot Baker,
returned from the wedding tour with his bride. Flags
and banners were displayed in profusion, and triumphal
arches were erected along the line of route. At the
entrance to the village, the rev. gentleman's carriage was
met by a large body of the parishioners, who quickly took
out the horses, and placed themselves at the shafts. The
brass band of the 6th D.R.V. beaded the procession, which
then marched, with every demonstration of welcome and
joy, to the Rectory, where refreshments were provided.
The rest of the day was spent in pleasure, and the people
of Preston will long remember their rector's coming home
with his bride. Every one wishes the happy pair all
domestic joy, and, not the least, may the rev, gentleman's
philanthropic labours for the pod of his parish be crowned
with greater success, now that he has a beloved partner to
help win the hearts of young and old.
