CRYSTAL WEDDING.-Av very pleasant
event occurred New Years Eve at the
residence of Edwin Brownsill, when Mr..
and Mrs. Brownsill celebrated their 9Th
Rev. G: +. Wright, in behalf Of their
numerous friends, with beautiful brass
hanging lamp, adorned with crystal
pendents, and with other gifts as tokens
of kind regard. Rev. e. D. Belden
offered the prayer. Mrs. Brownsill re-
turned thanks for these presents in very
feeling and grateful speech in behalf of
herself and husband.
New Years morning we were happily
surprised" and complimented IN our
editorial sanctum by call, numerously
supported by some Of the most promising
1--WE do not mean it in the invidious sense
w. Engle, miller; Will A. Willard, law
yer; G. E. futile, Minneapolis Harves-
ter Works; Vert Anderson, cadet, West
Point; L. O.. Hellister, banker; and
Prof. G. E. Richardson. These young
gentlemen have our best wishes, and we
commend them to the favorable opinion
of the young ladies of Austin.
On New Years day an important
change was made in the agency of the
American Express Company's Office of
this city. L. E. Day was transferred to
Pierre. Dakota, an important point, and
long step in the line of promotion.
j. E. Crews, formerly corresponding clerk
in the Minneapolis Office, is detailed to
the Austin Office to take his place. While
we congratulate Mr.. Day upon the COM
plimentary action of the Express Com
pany, we pen our regrets at the departure
of himself and estimable family from
town, and commend them heartily to the
confidence and regard of the people
among whom their lot may be cast.
-MARR1ED.-Sunday afternoon, Dec.
80, 1883, at the residence of s. H. Ludlow,
Austin township, by Rev. w. E. Stanley,
Edward Edward and Mary E: Prouty.
Mrs. Edward, nee Prouty, was the daugh-
ter of Harvey G. Prouty, known to the
ceased some years IA years since. The
bride, step-daughter of s. H. Ludlow, is
a native Minnesotian, having been born
on the place where the wedding occurred,
| and held in high esteem by those espe-
cially who have known her from child
hood The bridegroom is an estimable
young man, lately from Benson, Rutland
county, Vermont. Our best wishes 20
with the young couple.
"A SURPR1sE,-A very successful sur
prise was planned and executed on our
| young friends, Jas. w. Engle,' of this city,
| and G. E. Tuttle, of Minneapolis. A
large company of the most nervy and
jolly young people of Austin, to the
number of IS, took possession of the house
about 7 o'clock, and made matters lively
for several hours. The intellectual occu-
patton of blowing soap bubbles was en-
tered upon with zest that would have
confirmed the opinion of the preacher,
that ''all is vanity" Sam Alsip, of Chi
cago. won the prize of little iron
Ratchet for blowing the largest bubble.
Berthe johnson received a toy mug fol
the largest bubble blown by girl. A. H.
Loucks, judge of ceremonies, received q
small rubber doll for his impartial ruling
Charades were played, as six boys
marched in, and the word was hero,
Vert Anderson guessed ''gang-green.
After a succession of games, and lunch
the young company dispersed, happier, il
not wiser, than when they assembled. =
