than seven mills on the dollar, shall
be assessed on the valuation of the
real and personal property in each

River Falls has started a fashion of
making formal presentation of all
the presents to anewly married couple
at one time, with set speech of pre-

ing was always chosen. 1t could be
made the occasion of pouring oceans
of good advice into the minds of the
Youthful pair, and kind of neutralizing
the too great eXuberance of joy, so
to speak, at receiving so many pretty
things.-Red Wing AdrdRce.
