ROCHESTER,.

Last evening, June the 9th, very pleasant
fair took place in town. Two of the accom-
plished daughters of Rev. Madison Elliot

and Miss Fidelia Elliot to Mr.. Edward d.
Humphrey, OF Rochester. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. D. T. Williams Of Bright.

Rev. Mr., johnson and wife took their depart.
ure for their home in Wis. Mr.. Humphrey
and wife are going to live with their father,
the Rev. Mr.. Elliot, and will work his farm
and care for him In his declining years There
were only few selected friends present, and
the event was a complete surprise to the
community. 1t was exceedingly affecting to
see the invalid father OF the brides taking
his daughters by the hand and pronouncing
upon them his blessing. The town and
especially the church at the centre have sus-
tained great loss in the removal OF Mrs.
johnson to Wis, for she was one OF the most
active and ecfllient workers of the township
in every good cause. 1t was an inspiration
to see her work for she did II so willingly
and eHergetically. We congratulate the Rev.
Mr.. johnson for his wisdom In choosing a
lady so well adapted by culture and training
TO be a minister's wife. We bespeak for them
much success, and wish them much Joy, and
long life OF usefulness. w.
