at the residence of the brides father,
by Pastor Hanselman, Mr.. Shelton L.
Hanselman and Misc Laura E. Slack.
Both being great favorites in this
community, invitations were numer-
ous. They intend to start next week
for their new home in Indiana. We
wish the young couple long life and
a happy future.
On Friday and Saturday the Regis
ters attended in the Town Hall, to the
Registration, there being only three
votes to register in this township. We
think the cost overbalances the profit.
That act is like the Resumption law
ought to be repealed.
We are glad to be able to report that
Mr., Mortimer Day, whose life was
despaired of two weeks ago, is able to
be about again, and hope with return
ing Spring he will regain his former
good health,
Third Quarterly Meeting of this
Conference year of Deerfield and Pal
myra M. E. Church, will be held in
this place on Sunday next. The Pre-.
siding Elder will preach on Sunday
morning and evening.
Our Literary Society met at their
Hall on Thursday evening. Being
called to order the Minutes and Re-
ports from Committees were read and
accepted. Meeting opened with song
by three ladies. There were a num-
ber of dialogues and essays, all of
which were we'll rendered. The
question for discussion was: "Is the
Masonic Order q benefit or detriment
to government or society2' Rev. II.
B. Potter, negative, and Ed. Murray,
w. Murray, affirmative, being the
principal rdisputants, with many others
taking part on both sides. The sub
ject being one OF wide range for
thought, was ably discussed on both
sides, entertaining q large and atten-
tive audience. The question for next
Thursday: Resolved, That President
Hayes was not elected by the popular
vote of the people. The Society
would wish Mr.. James A. Garfield,
Zach. Chandler, Blaine and the Lou
isiana Returning Board present. Ex-
tending a kind invitation to all.
The times in this vicinity are very
dull this season of the year. Collec-
tions are impossible, yet we are told
money is plenty in the country. A
preacher in our vicinity said after the
Bland Bill passed, silver would be as
plenty in the United States as the
stones were in the streets of Jcrusa-
lem in Solomo on's time. We say, ooh,
hasten that time, and will get up
well trained choir to sing, Happy
day, happy day." SC.
We had the pleasure of visiting the
stables of Mr.. Silas Ashley, South
Deerfield, and examining number of
three and four year old colts left in his
care to break. As horse tanner aud
veterinary surgeon he is unequalled.
He breaks and trains after the Magner

animals and baking, kicking and run
away horses and let them be among
the things of the past.
Rev. Mr.. Casterline is holding a
protracted meeting in Mott Town,
preaching to large and attentive
audiences every night. Revivals
in this vicinity are not fraught
with the same success as has formerly |
been the case. Mr.. c., as an orator, is
his delineation is concise and
powerful. He will conclude his meet
ings Sunday evening.
We are informed the Narrow Guage
is to be aold before it can be operated
again, after which there will he q new
organization, to wipe out all old debts.
