An incident possessing more than ordinary

passing Interest. There were prevent. in ALI
about forty guests, composed of children.
grand children, nieces, ncphews and friends
varying In years from tender youth life to
rlpened manhood and wintry old age What
Is somewhat remarkable may be noted the
tact that one of the brides maids and ssysrai
others who attended the wedding were parti-
clpants OF this festival and still more sineu-
laE, the minister who performed The early mar
mage ceremony and united these, then young
hearts In the silken bonds of perennial affec-
uon-consummatingt their love at the hym .nial

~ IS likewise an interesting fact, that the
ena-se"tenntal observance here noted took
place IN the same house and il the sein-
identlcat r"cE, Where the honored host and
hostess, were welded on that day fifty long
years ago: The occasion, am told. was one

anniversary of joy.
We have had regular day of winter.
Snow mingled with rain commenced falling at
early morn and continued throughout the day,
accompanied by strong, cold north easter

learn that young Harris, of this city. who
se'eral weeks ago was implicated in an affair
OF honor, was to-day arrested, and made to

harmless under any circumstances.
