sharon.
 Our qulet community has been highly in- terested. if not excited, this week, by what with us is most unusual event, grand wedding. On the evening of Thursday, the 18th inst, Miss Lois Sears of this place, was united in the bands of wedloc6 with Mir. J. J: Williams of New York city The ceremony was announced to take place at the First Congregational Church at S:3O A. M. Long before that hour the building was crowded, the good people of Sharon flock- ing there to show at the same time their friendly interest and gratify their natural curiosity. A little after the appointed time ''brde and groom" were attended by the bridesmaids and groomsmen. MT. Joel Ben ton of Armenia, with Miss Emily Sears, the sister of the bride, and MT. R. s. J. Bough- ton with Miss Maggie Gager, and by nu- merous company of relatives and friends. The bride was richly dressed in peach colored silk of delicate tint, with the usual flowing vail. The bridesmaids wore, res pectivelY, yellow and pink talatan, As the bridal party gathered about the altar, flowers for the occasion, all present must have been strucK with the impressive beau ty of the scene. The ceremony was per formed by Rev. Dr. A. B. Bullions, pastor of the church, who used the servlce "with the ring" And all the while MT. Stewart of Amenia dissoursed music from the or gan. Shortly after the ceremony in the church the spacious mansion of the brides 1 father was filled with guests, and there the hours till midnight swiftly passed in con- gratulations, social pleasures, and the mar riage feast Very much was added to the enjoyment of the evening by the presence of the Sharon Cornet Band, who performed several fine pieces of music, with their usual skill and spirit. We are sure that all who participated in these festivities, and, we doubt not, many more will unite with us in the earnest hope that for the happy pair'' life may be as fair and bright as this auspl- cious beginning 1imes. | I've have been handed the following 'ssKetch," to publish in connection with the above account of the wedding in Sharon ED. NEWS
 It was ono of sweet June's loveliest nights, The evening breeze was rich with breath of
 flowers,
 The glowing tints of closing day had faded From the deep cloudless azure, and the
 bright
 Stars were watching. Just at the witching hour
 A softened light gleamed from the village
 church,
 And from it's open portal, foated strain Not solemn, as the call to prayer, nor gay And joyous as the reveller's song, but sweet And thrilling, and as it's swelling cadence Rose, a group in festal robes had gathered Round the fower-wreathed altar; on each
 head
 Amid the glossy braids, were summer s , buds,
 But on the fairest brow rested wreath
 Of white, and round the slight and girlish form
 Floated in graceful beauty the bridal Vail. Then in that sacred place. in the sweet
 Twilight hour of June, love's holy VOWS , Were pledged.

Too MUCH LAND.-Land is
wealth only as it can be made pro
ductive. When unproductive it
is a source of poverty. When
partly cultivated and made less
productive than it may be by
thorough cultivation labor is
wasted and goes for naught. Had
that labor been expended in thor
ough cultivation it would have
yielded profitable results. These
ideas are worth considering by
| those who strive to add field to
field and to enlarge their bounda
rieS beyond their powers of use
fully and productivity cultivatins
them. The capital needed tt
properly cultivate a farm in Eng
land is estimated at 500 per acre
leaving out the question Of land
and buildings. This amount i
expended in stock implements
manures purchased, feed and la
Dor, before a single dollar is IT
turned in the shape or crops TIL
consequence is the average yiel
of the soil there is five times tina
of ours, which ratio probably rel
, resents the excessivs propoTtio
of land under inefficient GUILTY.;
ton with us.

REPLY TO A BROKEN HEART
ED THING.-A broken hearted
young thing writes toa weekly
paper as follows: about
three years agoI became ac>
quainted with a young gentle
man, and lately 1 have noticed
great change in him. Can
he have ceased to love me 2"
Perhaps we ought not to inter
fere i'm this little matter; but as
we know exactly what should
be done with the young man,
we feel as if we ought to speak
out. The next time he calls,
take a monkey wrench, fasten
it securely upon his nose, and
ask him in a firm voice what
he means. Ifhe won't answer
twist the wrench three or foul
times, and Quit his head VI
against the stove or the man
tle-piece. If he says he ha
ceased to love you, let you
finger daily with his ringlet
lovingly a few moments, an,
suddenly lift out a couple o
handsfull, and have a man a
hand to come i'm and sit upo
him awhile and knock out hi
teeth and jump up and dow
on him, and be sociabl,
Then let him 90, and con
mence your arrangements t
rope in a fresh man. Z.
