GLENCOE, Dec e.
A visit was expected to-day from our
| friend Robert Buchanan but, as yet, his
lively countenance has failed to put in an
! appearance.
We have this week to ann ounce the
death of Mr.. Widemicr, who died very
suddenly at his home near Glencoe, on
the morning of the 23d. Mr.. w. had
gone to the woods to get timber to fence
his wife's grave, and on his way home
fell from the load, of which part fell on
him, and it is thought his spine was
broken.
The wedding threatened" few weeks
ago by your correspondent took place on
the evening of Tuesday, the 18th inst, at
| the residence of the brides father. The
Rev. Mr.. Sloan off1ciatcd. The Mcssrs.
Dugald and Jimmie Campbell, and their
| sister, Miss Flora, being the only guests
| present other than members OF the fam
lily. On the 18th the bride and groom
took up their headquarters at the McDon-
aid ranch. May they live long and hap
PLY together is the general wish of the
| neighborhood.
The fair which came off on Tuesday
and Wednesday of last week surpassed
our most sanguine expectations. A
large crowd was in attendance and every
thing sold well, there being upward of
$500 taken in. Mr.. Harvey Allensworth
was the happy ma,l who carried away the
quilt, aud Mr.. Stephen Triplelt the silver
knives and forks. Mr.. Frank Pitcher
won, by small majority, the banner for
being the homclicst man in the neighbor-
hood, and Miss Whsle Smith the chair
cushion for being the handsomcst young
lady. PILGRIM.
