to and from the sea. The first north-easter
it says will dissipate the distractions.

the last day of the year 1911. Now in

tie p~aternal board, six children, twenty
grand children, and two dear little ones of
the fourth generation. Two sons and their
families away in the far West we're remem-
bered and often spoken of.
1t was a joyful occasion The days of.
other years were brought to mind. and
many incidents of personal and family his
tOryswere afectiOnately rehearsed for the
benefit of the more youthful part of the
circle. The days that tried mems souls
were not forgotten, nor was there waiting
a deep. burning interest in the present cri
sis of our country's affairs. 1t was decid-
a union" gathering.
May this ancient couple long live to en-
joy the love and respect of their family
and the community, and to invoke the

Sad Accident to a Bridegroom.

Our citizens were all on the qui virc. on
Christmas Day, to witness a marriage cere-
mOny that had been announced to take
place at the German Reformed Church, at
II o'clOlk. N. The large audience there
assembled however, was doomed to disap-
pOintment, as the bridegroom, Nj. Wesley
L. HolcOmb, of Springfield, soon after start
ing from home, was very seriously injured
by the running away Of the team he was
driving. Mr.. Ii. was conveyed to his
house. and a messenger dispatched to Ak
ron to notify the bride, Miss Phosie j.. Nc
.Connauehy, who with her friends, includ-
ing the Rev. Mr.. McCaughey, Immediately
repaired to the residence of the wounded
man. who being too weak to stand, was
bolstered up into a sitting posture and the
marriage consummated.
though very badly bruised, We learn
Mr.. HOlcomb is doing well, and has
every prospect of a speedy recovery, which
will, no doubt, be greatly facilitated, by
careful nursing and devoted attentions

How England will stand on the Record.

The WorH concludes an article on the
course Of England in the Trent affair as
follows:
There are three things that will nos
be forgOtten-frst, that the first vRDs
was on the part of Englishmcn in taking
contraband on board contrary to their
obligations as neutrals, which were set
forth in their OWN QueOn's proclamation
second, that our courtesy. in sparing the
ship, is made the handle of a mean advan-
tagc-third, that an appropriate apology,
such as would content any decent nation on
the face of the earth, is repudiated, and a
demand is interposed that can have no
other earthly object than either to afford a
pretext for fighting US if, We refuse it, or to
humiliate US if We submit to it. Such
will be the account entered against Eng
land. if she chooses to carry through this
business on the line indicated. The time
for reckoning will come. Nations are
long lived, aud have long memories.
