of one of the oldest Portland families and is

ness duties in Vancouver. For several years
he has been identified with Portland's best

before the stated time, with its audience in
full evening dress. and its beautiful decora-
tions of flowers and evergreens, formed a
scene Of striking beauty. Promptly at $50
o'clock the wedding march was sounded by
the grand organ, and the bride, preceded by
the ushers and attended by her father Mr.
d. W. Burnside, and maids, entered the
! west door, advancing down the grand aisle
to the altar where she was met by the
groom, attended by his best man. Rev

the audience stood in breathess silence, pro-
nounced the beautiful marriage service. At
its conclusion the party passed slowly out
through the grand aisle to their carriages

stood with her sons in the front pew joining
the party in its exit from the church Miss

OLD Folks CONCERT. The old folks con-
cert given at Marsh's hall last Friday even
ing was poorly attended, in all probability
on account of the bad weather. Miss lsa.
belle Haughey, who was announced to sing,
did not appear on this occasion, having a
severe cold, consequently this interesting
feature of the programme had to be omitted.
The renditions, with the exception of one or
two pieces, might have been improved upon,
but as amateur talent is not justly subject
to criticism-an as we are a poor critic
We may say that the concert was fair.

Orchard and Garden.

Cultivate young orchards.
Squashes are great feeders.
Early turnips should go in damp rich
soil.
Tobacco dust sprinkled over fruit bush
es when wet with dew. will rid them OF
insects.
Strawberries may be ripened earlier by
placing sash over the beds, resting them
on bricks or stakes.
Rich soil, good culture and free thin
ming of all vegetables grown from seed,
is the secret of large and paying crops.
Birds and Fruit-Unpleasant as is the
sight of fruit-robbing by birds. it should
be remembered, that they do more good,
in the insects they kill, than harm by the
other Even those kinds which live partly
on insects and partly on vegetable sub
stances. destroy immense quantities of
insects, particularly in the spring for feed
ing their young.

The great secret of keeping furs and
wooden goods free from moths. consist in
putting them away before the moth begins
to fly in the spring. If we pack them
away early in April before the moth has
begun to lay its eggs. and leave them in
boxes or bags so securely shut that the
flying moth cannot get in, no further
precaution will be necessary. Before
putting away furs and winter garments
they should be taken out doors and well
shaken, then furs may be put into the
boxes in which they were bought. Ii
there are any holes in the boxes paste
piece of paper over them. and also paste
strip of paper around the junction OF
the cover. with the box below. so as to
close all openings. Furs or wooden gar
ments may be Kept securely by putting
them in clean paper -four sacks. These
sacks. after being tied up tightly. should
be hung in dark closet. If turs and
woolens are put away early. in the above
manner. they will need no tobacco. cam
phor or other preventive to protect them

Farm and Live Stock Notes.


Timothy hay for sheep.
Horses have reached sixty years.
Shelter young chicks from sun and rain.
Start on preparing buckwheat soil early
To raise good calves feed the whole
season.
Farm animals appreciate notice and
petting.
Procure farm seeds from different To-
cality sometimes
Disease in live stock in most cases is
due to lnattention or stupidity.
Beans have been found profitable grown
with corn, by planting hills of the two
against each other.
To raise potatoes to profit. manage by
GOOD tilling with the aid of improved ma
chinery before and after planting, to avoid
much hand hoeing.
Swarming bees that seem disposed To
make for the woods can usually be stopped
BY throwing dirt or water among them to
cause confusion.
busting Boxes.-Dusting to hens and
turkeys is what washing is to other ami
mails. and proper provisions should be
made to meet the want. Road dust. ashes
and sulphur placed in box in conven-
lent place is ali thar is required.
Where To Uunder- Drain.-The time to
test the land is iii the spring. or any time
in wet weather. If a pit three feet deep
will hold water longer than few hours.
or will collect some at its bottom after
rains, the land needs draining. If water
stands in the burrows when blowing. or
upon the surface after rains. draining is
greatly needed to fit the land for full crop
ping.

Advertising Cheats.

1T has become so common to write the be-
ginning of an article in an elegant interest
ing manner,
Then run it into some advertisement, that
we avoid all such.
And simply call attention to the merits of
Hop Bitters in as plain, honest terms as
possible,
To induce people
To give them one trial, which so proves
their value that they will never use anything
else
1.-THE REMEDY so favorably noticed in all
the papers,
Religious and secular, is
Having large sale, and is supplanting all
other medicines.
There is no denying the virtues of the Hop
plant, and the proprietors of Hop Bitters
have shown great shrewdness
And ability
In compromising a medicine whose virtues
are so palpabe to everyone's observation"
Did She Die?
She fingered and suffered along, pining
away all the time for years,
The doctors doing her no good:
And at last was cured by this Hop Bitters
the papers say so much about.
Indeed. Indeed!
How thankful we should be for that med
icine..
