BARRE,-An interesting and enjoyable
time was had on Wednesday evening last
at the residence of Hon. Horace Fifield, on
the occasion of the marriage of their
youngest daughter, Ella, to Mr.. j. w.
Hosmer of Chicago, Ill. About one hun.
dred and seventy-fve invitations were
given, most of which were accepted; SC
the company was large and everything Sc
well arranged that all seemed to enjoy
themselves very much. The official part
of the ceremony was consummated by the
Rev. L. Tenney, who did his part very
pleasantly and, no doubt, to the entire sat-
isfaction of the parties most essentially
interested. Cake and coffee were bounti-
fully served. but no wine to tempt the
unwary. The bride wore IL beautiful blue
silk dress, and the ladies say everything in
that line was just the thing. and we, not
being a judge in such matters, accept the
decision rs final. There were large
number of valuable presents, which in
number and value were probably never
exceeded at any wedding in town. The
happy couple left Barre on Thursday for
Chicago, by the way of Boston, New York
and Washington, d. c., for their future
home in the city of the west.

CoRINTH CoRNER.-Our citizens are
very much discouraged on the sugaring
department. Snow is so deep in the
woods that cattle cannot work, and there
will be but little sugar made in this local
ity.
We are looking forward with great
anxiety for the new conference year. We
profess as Christians TO believe, not only
in the love of God, but also in the parental
care of our heavenly Father over His
children. Some have almost been ready
to embrace the last clause of the tenth
commandment. "Our life is rs q vapor
that appeareth for Il little time, and then
vanisheth away" We will trust in the
Lord
