TEE LATEsr.-Golden weddings, silver
weddings, tin weddings, and wooden
weddings have all been and still are cele-
brated as happy institutions, as no doubt
they are among the upper tendon, but
the latest agony, and by far the best, is
the sugar wedding; thirty days after
marriage is the set time.
Bishop Davis was prevented from &C.
livering bis annual pastoral address in
this parish on Monday Of last week as he
desired to do, owing to the non arrival Of
the Laurens train until late Tuesday
night. The Bishops intirmities, and the
fatigue incident to the delay, rendered it
necessary for him to return home the
following day.
NEVER INVITED HiM-"Why don't yon
trade with .me?" said a tradesmau to q
friend from the country, the other day.
The reply was Characteristic: "You haye
never invited me, sir, have looked alt
through the NRwsERRY HERALD for an
invitation in the shape of an advertise
ment, and found none, Inever go where
| am not invited"
CHRISTMAS IS CoaHG.-Of this fact
we are assured on the authority of our
very esteemed old friend Dr.. T. Gouin,
who has received by 'avant courier Of
Santa Chus, direct from the regions of
fancies and sweets, q most elegant as
sortment of delicacies for the present
and approaching seasons. oureyeshave
seen these things, they are good to look
at, and if the ladies, little children's
mammas, and little boys and girls, don't
agree with US that Dr.. Gouin is their
friend, and charming gentleman beside,
in making such selection for them, We
are no judge. A cordial Invitation is cx-
tended to them to pay him visit. His
assortment embraces the finest candies,
and fancy notions, besides a choice va.

&c. "Would We were boy again" or
even little girl.

Ous BABY's BIoGRAPHY.-The recent
accession to the locals household, of
which and whom there have been 50 ma.
ny inquiries, makes it necessary to bio
graph the chap briefly in borrowed
style: --r-
It's boy. He's buster.
Weighs ten pounds, and old women
tell US that he will grow beaver as his
weight increases.
He's not the first boy Of which we

The old lady before mentioned, and the
doctor, declare him the very image of his

"A faithful copy of his faithful sire,
In face and gesture"
But in justice 70 the youth, we must

original-a world of progress, you know.
This young American rebel is as old
as could be expected, considering the
time he was born, and will doubtless De
too old for his father in a few years, if he
has good luck.
He is quite reticent on politics, and
wants to be let alone.
We think he favors Mrs. Winslow's s
policy.
We haven't named him yet; We want
to give him distinguished cognotnen,
but the fame Of our great nen is at pre-

risk.
Why is newspaper like tooth brush?

should have one of his own, and not
