An Otter Killed.

The best shot of the season, at least
the best We have heard OF, was made by
ROLAND Uhl, on last Wednesday, near
or on his fathers farm, below town.
Taking with him single barrelled shot
gun loaded with No. z shot, he went to-
wards the creek where he saw an otter
dragging itself along in the snow. He
succeeded in getting to the bank of the
creek, where he heard something plunge
near drift. 1t put its head far enough
above the water for him to see its eve,
when he shot and killed it. Getting it
out he found it measured five feet from
end of nose to tip of tail.

In company with other citizens of
Millersburg, we had the pleasure of at
Atending the Silver Wedding of Mr.. an{
Mrs. Tidball at their residence in Bloont
fed, Saturday evening, the 25th Ing t.
Theevening was pleasant, and from one
to one hundred and fifty persons 1--WE
could not tell the exact number for the
house was full all over) seemed to en-
Joy themselves in a manner worthy of
the occasion. Rev. Thomas of the NJ.
E. church, conducted the matrimonial
ceremonies remarkably well. They
were unavoidably impromptu, and it re-
quired some thinking, to choose Ian
guage that would give the scene mirth-
ful cast, and at the same time maintain
the requisite dignity and avoid any ten
dency to mockery. DIR. Carr and Lady,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Uhler were Grooms-
men and bridesmaids. In conclusion
of the ceremony Mr.. Thomas told the
happy couple they were now married
for 25 years more, and then turned to
the table whereon were deposited vari-
GUS silver presents, which he held up to
view suceessively, and read the names
of the donors. just then the music
struck up, and supper was announced.
The Bride and Groom were seated at
the head of one of the tables and served.
Having finished their supper in advance
of the rest, they turned Host and Hos
tess, and served in a way that would
make even Yankee peddler feel well
come. To say the supper was very fine
would give you no idea of the number
of roast turkeys, chickens, oysters, &c.
We saw them still carrying them out to
the tables when we left. Other good
things in great variety in proportion.
The M. f. Mite Society was in atten-
dance, and received over $50, in cash.
The presents to Mr.. & Mrs. Tidball con-
sisting of silver castors, forks, spoons
and tea set, would amount to about
60 or 20 dollars.
BY request we give the names of the
donor:
Mr.& Mrs. Philo, G. w. Casey, Uhler
w. w. Renfrew, VIM. Duncan, C. Casey
Thos. Shannon, Robt. Elliott, E. Casey
S. .Schnader, James Graham, Thos. Ed.

'CELLULOID.'

The new compound, called 'celluloia' used as

great favor among those who have occasion to
call upon the Dentist to have the wants Of ma

has been using this base for some time with
entire success, and thinks with those ofhis pa

made than other cheap bases.

You cannot escape from anxiety and

No MAN has any right to manage his
affairs in such a way that his sudden
death would bring burdens and losses
on other people.
Do ALL around you get, in your ways,
such a reflection of Christs life that they

SHENsToNE, an artist in landscape
gardening, said he knew the turn in his

The preaching of the word in some

The man who in the ministry has

A Good Wife.

The following sentences from Arch
bishop Seekers Wedding Ring are worth
reading twice: Hast thou soft
heart Pit is of Gods breaking. Hast
thou sweet wife ?-she is of Gods
making. The Hebrews have a saying,
He is not man that hath not wo-
man. Though man alone may be good,
but it is not good that man should be
alone. Every good gift and every per
feet gift is from above A wife, though
she be not perfect gift, is a good gift,
a beam darted from the sun of mercy.
How happy are those marriages where
Christ is at the Wedding Let none
but those who have found favor in Gods
eyes find favor in yours. Husbands
should spread mantle of charity over
their wives infrmities. Do not put the
candle out because of the ST uff. Hus-
bands and wives should provoke one
another to love; and they should love
one another Notwithstanding provoca-
tions. The tree of love should grow up
in the midst of the family, as the tree
of life grew in the garden of Eden.
Good servants are great blessing; but
a good wife is the greatest blessing; and
such help let him seek fer that lacks
one; let him sigh for that hath lost
one let him delight in him that en-,
joys one.
