4 iIaDDY Marriage,

a brilliant marriage took place at the
Catholic Church last Monday night.
An immense crowd was present to wit
ness the impressive ceremony, and long
before the approach Of the bridal party
every seat and corner was occupied, The
church was beautifully decorated and
splendidly illuminated, which gave a
brilliant enchantment to the scene.
Upon the approach OF the bridal party
the wedding march resounded from the
organ. The bride and groom, attended
by their escorts, walked down the aisle
and were seated in front of the altar
Father Quito then made a few remarks
pertinent to the occasion, after which
the bridal party kneeled at the altar,
and Mr.. Ferdinand Becker and Miss
| Mary McGrath were united in the holy
bonds of matrimony. They have our
best wishes for o long and happy life.

such characters, he has our very grateful
acknowledgements for yielding such placid
obedience to cur announcement, and we

played in not showing his physiognomy in
this office, for all admit hat a printing

such domestic and felicitous manner as to

FEED THE STREET BIRDS.

We trust our readers will not forget the
pets of the street.-The English sparrows.
The season is fnst approaching when they
must suffer for food unless their wants are
attended to by the thoughtful. Many were
starved to death last winter merely for the
reason that public attention was not called
to the mntter till late IN the season. The
sparrow is n knowing bird, and soon realizes
where he is well treated. Fe will attend
regularly where he is fed, and become quite
tame. This is illustrated by q gentleman
on Thirteenth street, who fed flock Of
them regularly for year. He feeds them
twice, aud sometimes oftener every day,
and the flock numbers forty or fifty. They
seem to know him, and when he makes his
appearance they gather around him as
though they understood II; In fact, thoy
hardly wait to have the food thrown to
them before they ahght and go to work in
earnest. During the summer, when their
young had become Old enough to leave their
nests, they brought tho young birds with
them, and it was interesting to sec them
fed by tho parent bid. Whoever, there
fore, wants to raise a family of pets that
will be useful as well M interesting. can
find then in the English spsrrows. The
protection they afford our trees and shrub
berry in the summer SEASON entities them to
food and care during the wintry weather.
