Tho season for accidents from the

least, 1t came near opening last Saturday,

nevertheless TO be Immediately laid. Tho
source or the aqueduct is in three springs
in the high land back Of the asylum farm
| house.

Cooks bottled ales, an advertisement
ofwhlch appears in our columns to-day,
are undoubtedly the best goods of their
kind made in this country, and we are as
sured that they possess such qualities of
excellence as strongly commend them TO
the needs OF invalids and others requiring
a grateful and agreeable tonic. They are
brewed on scientific principles, are free
| from all coloring and other deleterious
matter, and contain but a very small per
cent of alcohol. They may, in fact, fairly
be said 10 rival the best English goods,
has the agency.

In this place on Sunday morning last, in a

unconverted. At the close OF the sermon,
thirty persons arose for prayers. 1t was
announced that in consequence Of the un-
usual religious interest awakened by Mr..
Moody's labors, meetings will be contin-
ued under charge OF the resident clergy
men, the first being held at the Baptist

Uniyersalist church, of MFR. w. A. FaulI-
ner, cashier Of the Peoples National Bank,

Tho floral decorations which Allen furnish
ed for the occasion were among the finest
ever seen here. In front of the pulpit stood
beautiful arch composed of eupAtorium,
centaurea and evergreen, from the CEN
tire of which depended large marriage bell
of beautiful flowers. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. NJ. II. Harris in his US
ual happy and impressive manner. The

their wedding tour, Philadelphia and the
grand exposition being, we believe, their
objective point.
