daughter of Hon. Geo. Peter, at the brides
home in this town, and in the presence of quite
an assemblage OF relatives and friends. The
ceremony was performed by the Rev. PIP.
Flournoy, the brides Pastor, and the simple
and beau tiful rite of the Presbyterian church
was made very impressive BY the reverend gen.
tleman's subjoined remarks of congratulatiop,
aud advice. After the ceremony and con-
gratulations the bridal pair aud guests par,ook
of magnificent repast, and after which the
bride and groom boarded the train for New

Christmas.
At the ceremony the bride was attired in

Keeping Winter vegetables.-Afte
the farmer has raised good supply of vege-
tables he often fails to realize the full benefit
of his labor from lack of edge how TO
keep them. This especially is the case with
squashes and that class of vegetables that re-
quire to be kept comparatively warm and dry.
II is quite usual for him 10 put them in pile
in the cellar, and then wonder that they rot
We observe in agricultural works that
squashes, pumpkins, and all that class of vege-
tables require, first, an absence Of light !;
second, dry temperature, not exceeding fifty
five to sixty degrees and third, to be so
placed that one does not come in contact with
another. We have also had success in keep
ing them well into spring by placing them in
u cool, dry chamber until freezing occurs, and
then removing them to a closet for safe keep
ing over winter. Thus, Hubbard and other
hard.sheled varieties may be kept until May
and June. For use until February they will
keep tolerably well in dry cellar placed on
shelves. Boston Marrow is the first to decay
The Turban-to our mind one of the best of
the winter varieties, especially for baking
will often keep 10 the cellar until March.
Those only intended for use later need be
treated to the dry, cool closet 1t will pay,
for at the latter part of winter and early
spring there is dearlh OF vegetable food on
the farm that makes such articles especially
valuable.
