Long Walk TO Get Married.

A domestic event has transpired here
of much interest to our secluded COM
munity, namely, the marriage of Miss
Lambier and Mr.. John Vaughan. To
get marriage license, the bridegroom
walked from his place of future resi-
dence, five miles from Beggsboro, to
Burk's (nine miles,. Mr.. Burk not
being at home, Vaughan was sent to
where he was working, distance of
twenty-four miles from the residence.
Mr.. Burk sent him back to the house for
a form, and upon his return gave him
license, and Vaughan proceeded with it
home to the brides, eighteen miles fur
ther-ninety-n miles so far. Then
they went to the Rev. Mr.. Gilmour's, a
distance of twelve miles, were there hap
PLY united, and returned home to her
house-another twelve. Total for her,
twenty-iour miles, and for him 1913
miles, in the ardent pursuit of matri-
mony. Needless to say that all this
distance was travelled Oh foot.-F'ree

Emaciation n Remarkable De feet

Leanness not only detracts from personal
comeiness, but is an index that the blood is
deficient in nutritise properties. To remedy
emaciation, enrich and purify the blood, which
will then develop healthy flesh. This object
is most readily attained through the agency of
the great blood fertilizer and depurent, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which enables the
stomach to extract from the food taken into it
ample nourishment for the system, removes
all obstacles to complete digestion and assimi-
lation and by stimulating the kidneys to vigor-
Gus action. incites those organs to strain from
the vital fluid in its passage through them i'm
purities which would otherwise impair its flesh
creating qualities. Not only do the Bitters pro-
mote the development of solid fiber but they
also increase muscular power and elasticity,
overcome nervousness, Danish mental depres-
sion, and protect the system against disease.

Coal III the Arctic Regions.

The Discovery wintered in bay on
the west side of Robertson channel, in
latitude 81 degrees "A minutes north and
65 degrees 3 minutes west, now known
as the Discovery bay. About two miles
from this place, in Grantland, coal was
found in the side of narrow mountain
gorge by Mr. Hart, the Rev. G. Hodson,
Lieut.. Talford, and DR.. Coppinger. The
prevailing rock of the surrounding dis
trict was shingly claystone of a very
irregular arrangement, but mainly dip
ping to the westward, and, so far as
could be ascertained, devoid of fossils.
Vegetation included no less than sixty
species of plants. Coal had been
brought home on previous expeditions
from high ATTITUDES but not so far north.
The coal specimens of which were ex-
hibited) has bright, shiny appearance,
is somewhat of pitchy character, and
very brittle. On analysis, it could not
be distinguished from bituminous coal
of exceedingly good quality, and belongs
to the true carboniferous period. 1t is
very similar to coal found in some En-
glish coal6elds, and particularly at Ches-
terfield. 1t contains IS per cent. of coke.
Mr.. Wills had inquired of DIR. Coppin-
ger as to whether it would, in future ex-
petitions, be possible to utilize this coal.
as it only had to be quarried. DIR. Cop
pinger was of opinion that it might. If
ballooning were resorted to in future ex-
petitions the coal would be also useful
in the manufacture of gas.-Coal Trade

Some months ago gentleman from Duna~
phries paid visit to friend OF his in the town
ship of Beverly, Canada, Mr.. Henry, and re-
| nlained with him several days. During his visit
! the Durnphrics gentleman complained that Ills
house was literally infested with rats and mice.
lie had tried every device to get rid Of them,
and all had failed. Mr.. Henry, who is as in
renious Us he is fond OF sport, declared that he
could battle the rats out Of his friends cellar i'll
less than no time, to use his own expression.
Next tlay the two drove to the gentleu'an's
house in Dt11nphries. Mr.. Henry took with him
common puarter-gross Matchbox pierced with
few holes. which he carefully placed under the
seat of the buggy. The Dumphrics gentte
man, feeling that his friend was going to give
him surprise, probably with some I'M
proyemcut on the ferret, asked no questions,
the better to enjoy the surprise when it did
come. Arriving at tile house they had dinner, anu
after the ladies' bad retired Mr. Henry placed Inc
box on the table and removed the lie. 1n an
instant from the box leapcd L full-srown garter
snake, measuring three feet and half in length.
Tho reptile, which was highly excited with the
heat, reared itself almost on the extremity OF
its tail aud eliIed about the table with re,larka-
Bile rapidity, licking its gl1astly jaws with its
forked and niulble tongue. The Dunphrtes
gentleman shrauk back INTO the corner almost
petritcd with horror Mr.. Henry showed how
silly this was by taking the suake upon his arm
aui handling it much like ilack-driycr would
handle his whip-lash. Finally his fears were
overcome, and when hc had composed himself
he led his friend into the cellar, where the snake
was set at liberty. The reptile Immediately

that overtures to that effect have been made By

further goes that similar oycrturcs have been

nothing OF the kind, but permitted the visitors
tu remain standing in the corridor for several

why the Lord Mayor was not there to receive
him. But no; either the General was too much
fur Mr.: Harker, or the magntcent sash and
glittering stars Of that gentleman were too
much tor the General, Tor neither of these truly
great men exchanged a word with each other.

courage to ask the General and his party to
