a Pleasant Snrnrise.

Another of those shy marriages came
off on Dec. 25th, which was rather uneX-
pected: the bride, Miss Nellie M. Cam
eron, one of Napoleon's beautiful bellies.
and the groom, Mr.. Perry ii. Bales, one
of our prominent, young farmers. When
all the earth was rejoicing and tho prais
es of the Savior King were being sung.
they. on that beautiful Christmas day,
slipped slyly to the little town of Merin-
Gle, Mich, and there two hearts which
had beat in close unison for so many
years were made happy; as the two stood
and repeated the happy words which
made them man and wife, never to part
until the Angel of Death lays his hand
on the brow of one or the other. The
bride was elaborately dressed in suitof
white gros grain silk, with trimmings Of
white brocaded satin. in her hand she
held boquet of deep blue violets, while
| the same confined the handsome veil to-
the loopings of the dress. and a wreathof
the same crowned the lovely head of the
young bride; a fit emblem indeed of the
modesty of the bride was the modest lit
| tie flower she chose on that day of all
others. The best wishes of the commu-
nifty 20 with the happy pair ON their
Journey through life They are now in
Canada, where they will spend part of
their honeymoon, returning by way Of
Wisconsin, where they will spend sever
al weeks with sister of the brides, and
then return to Napoleon, which place
they will make their future home. j. B.

Mr.. EDrToR.-We wish to say through
the medium of your most worthy paper
that comes weekly to our domicils, that
our Christmas tree passed off splendidly.
The various committees that were select
ed performed their part of the work ad-
,mirably,. and in, good taste. It was truly
pleasant sight on last Monday morning
to see the friends of the enterprise come
together with such a will and deter
mination to complete their work, and to
have all things in readiness for the even
ing services. 1t would be superfuous for
us to make an attempt TO describe the
precious fruits and the variety of good
things that hung upon the boughs ofour
Christmas tree. The cost of the various
articles would aggregate $500. In fact,
it is wonderful what busy hands can do
when all feel a Willingness to do their
part. Before the hour, appointed the
house was filled to- its utmost capacity.
AT the pastor called the house to order,
and on motion of s. jackson, Mr.. L. Rey-
nolds was elected Chairman and L. q D.
Chroninger, Secretary. The published
PROGRAMME, was carried out. We Well can say say
truly that It was an enjoyable season,
and that IL was good for us to be there:
