We see by the Springfield Nab,
Monitor of December 27. 1882, that
Miss Kit Clark, formerly of this city

to Mr.. Geo. z. Felch, of Sioux City,

news to most of our young people who
were well acquainted with Miss Clark.

learns of this. it will cause pleasant
smiles to pass over his ministerial face.

its Arthur Brundage. The REPORTER
extends congratulations to the happy
pair.
The Sentinel says "some worthy
antiquarian, who has been hunting up
materials for historical article on
Christmas, has found in the Harleian
MS. Christmas omen which is appli-
cable now. It is as follows:
If Christmas on Monday be,
great winter that year you'll see,
And full of winds both loud and shrill:
But in tho summer truth to tell,
Stern winds sha II then be and strong,
Full of tempests lasting long;
While battles they shall multiply,
And great plenty of beas is shall die.
They that be born that day, / ween,
They shall be strong each one and keen;
He shall be found that .tealeth ought;
Though be sick though diest OF.
