as did her attendants, two in number.
The gentlemen ushers and groomsmen,
also elegantly dressed, performed their
duties gracefully and acceptably, while
friend Joe" as a dashing handsome
bridegroom, never appeared to better adj
vantage in his life. After a short recap
ton at the home of the bride, the newly
welded pair departed for the New Do
minion on their bridal trip. The heart
felt good wishes of their numerous
friends here 90 with them.
Our village has been aroused into
patriotism over the recent Republican
Victories A three by ten flag was swung
to the breeze the other day without a
single speech from a foreigner on the
merits of the names attached. Haven't
we any home talent for such emergencies?
Cheers alone are more convincing than
silence. Can't we raise q man with So
nOTous lungs and cOnviyial spirits TO start
applause, and awaken enthusiasm at our
flag Taisings? We would suggest one or
two, but will refrain from giving names.
They might be employed by the Greeley
ties by and by.
We are acquainted with few uD-
| right citizens who would be pleased if
our statutes necessitated more frequent
/ presidential and other elections. The
! exchange of a simple vote for 1876 pounds
/ Of flour is a more sensible transaction in
/ their candid views than hanging on to a
/ principle be It as old as Methusalah.
/ Among the industrial institutions
/ here We have frequently noticed the
/ workings and progress Of the mantel
manufactory Of the Messrs. Pritchard
/ 4 Co. On a recent visit to the sales
room Of the company we spent an hour
/ very agrceably examining the really fine
work therein exhibited. Some forty
| different designs are represented in all
shades and qualities Of marble One
very fine mantcl intended for a firm in
Cincinnati, O., was manufactured from
the beautiful varicgatedmarble produced
at the North Rutland quarry. The imi-
tatiOn on slate Of this variety are said to
be very accurate, but here we have the
genuine marble, which i'm variety of
shade, durability and workmanship is
far superior to any artistic imitation.
while the difference in the cost is imma-
terial. The increased facilities of this
company for doing business, the number
and variety of carefully executed de-
signs always on exhibition, and the fa-
yorable position of their manufactory
allow them to offer mantels at lower
tigdres than any like establishment in the
country. EXCELSIOR.

Our town meeting passed off quietly |
though there was considerable strife by /
the friends of the various candidates that .
We're put in nomination. The strife was !
not Of party, as the Liberals" had |
none Of their faith in nomination. but /
was partly in regard to location and part
ly to test the question Of the lone term |
principle" Seldom have we been in a
contest where so little could be seen
what the result would be- Every man
kept his own COunsels and voted when
and how he pleased. The third party
was composed Of the disaffected of both
factions. as they could have no chance
to elect their candidate. Mr.. Chase. in
the remarks he made. stated that he ac-
cepted the enc term principle and did
not wish his name used for reelection.
Had the other candidate done the same
it wOnld have saved him a defeat Our
voters were not all out on account of
having hay and grain to cut. If our
voters are out in November we can give
Grant and Wilson at least 200 majority.
Greeley stock is hardly "quotable"

have medals struck, and present them

body, cast their united vote for him.
We had heard rumors that Mt. Tabor
was all picked through with Greeley
