CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
A wedding ceremony was somewhat damp
| ened in town near Brunswick recently. 1t
seems that the lady was DESTROYS of having
Wednesday as the wedding day, while the
| gentleman in his turn desired Thursday. The
! lady, thinking that the gentleman would as
usual give way in the matter, made all pre-
| parations for her chosen day. The minister
| came and the guests began to arrive, but the
| bridegroom came not; people began to wonder
| at his absence. AT last the clergyman adj
vanced with his prayer book and gave notice
that the parties should step forth, but to his
words only one of the parties responded, the
other was safely at home. 1t is needless to
state that the wedding did not come off on that
day.

The Hair Dregsers' Dinner

The first annual dinner of the Portland
Hair-Dressers' Association, given at the Preble
House last evening" was a very agreeable al
fair, excellently m anaged, and much enjoyed
by those who had the good fortune to be pres
emit. The tables were under the charge OF
Mr. John Coleman, the efficient and obliging
head-wait er, and the menu was one Of the best
that this favorite hostelry affords. The dinner
was informal, though some toasts were offered
and happily responded to, Mr.. John Pike
speaking for the veterans of the trade and Mr..
Philip York for the "boys." Other toasts
were spoken to by Mr.. R. FL. Brownley, and
by Mr.. George N. Rowell of the Advertiser who
paid happy compliment to the Knights of
the Shears-an appropriate thing for news
paper man to do. Before and after supper Mr..
G. M. Wilson, the teacher of music, delighted
the other guests with fine piano-playing, and
Messrs. Haley, Haskell, Orr, Wilson, Legault'
Walsh and Norway sang glees. Mr.. John
Smith, the president of the association, pre-
sided, and proved himself an admirable host
The affair was one of the pleasantes and
best conducted reunions that has ever taken
place in the city, and has done much to
strengthen the sentiment of fraternity in the
trade-a sentiment, by the way, which Mr..
Horato Haley, did much to encourage by the
cordial and timely remarks he made in refer
ence to it. Much of the success is due to the
intelligent and unwearied efforts of Mr.. A. NJ.
Crook. The credit for the dinner must be di-
vided between Messrs. Smith, Crook, Rogers
and Rollins of the committee and Mr.. Gibson
of the Preble.
Most of those present were comrades; but the
occasion afforded the honorary guests an OPP
portunity, which they were glad to seize, TO
scrape acquaintance with many agreeable gem
tlemen.

There was Justice Court Jury called
to decide case near here not long since,
where one party had sued another for one
dollar and fifty cents. After much evidence
and lengthy speeches by attorneys on both
sides the jury went out and soon returned
with a verdict, the foreman demanding the
Jury fees, which was one dollar and TWEEN

verdict which was promptly paid. The
verdict was for ninety four cents in favor OF
the plaintiff. Jim says the court, lawyers,

Another new application of cleo
tricity as a motor has been experi>
meuted 10 during the last few days
in Paris M. G. Trouve, we'll
known electrician, has devised a
method of applying the electric cur.
rent to the propulsion of boat, and
so far the results have been eninent>
Iy satisfactory. The experiments
have been made on the Seine, on
several occasions with small boat
containing from two to six persons.
M. Trouve's electric motor con
sisted of Siemens coil, which by a
simple but ingenious arrangement is
made to transmit its power to three
blsded screw at the stern of the boat.
The motor itself is fixed on the
upper part of the rudder, which it
follows 10 its movements, as does al
80 the screw The motor, with its
accessories, does not weigh more
than five kilogrsmes. NJ Trouve's
apparatus may be adapted to any
boat, and there seems no reason why
it might not be so modified as to be
applicable to vessels of much larger
dimensions than that experimental
on. Experiments in navigation by
electricity were made on the News
in 1889 by jacob, but the method
adopted had so many drawbacks t.
be practically useless.

mothers home in Michigan, aud his
letters during these periods were
curious. He advised his precious

possible and demand an increase Of

her to try to get railroad pass &C

hard that bis "own precions wiley"

his father died and he came into his
inheritance. He Immediately deser,
