A JAPANESE WEDDING.
The Novel Ceremony Performed at Mayfower
Congregational Church Last Evening.

The Japanese wedding" at the Mayfower
Congregational Church was q charming novelty,
and attracted and amused churchill of
people last evening. Not word was spoken
during the ceremony, which is said to be the
Japanese custom, but the affair was delightful
in oriental polite gravity and grace. The
wedding party were upon raised platform, and
the surrounding drapery and wall ornaments
were in strict harmony with the wedding,
and the entire picture, with but little exercise of
the Imagination; might have been taken
directly from far away Cipango. Under an i'm
mense Japanese sunshade were formed the
characters of the drama:
Go between Miss Nora LOCKWOOD bride, Miss
Lillian Potter; groom, Mr. Arthur Grover;
groom's father, Mr.. John Scott; grooms mother
Miss Louise McLaughin; brides father Mr.
Robert Shingler; brides mother, Miss Anna
Shingler; bridesmaids, Miss Hannah Pendleton,
Nellie Sturtevant, Miss Anna Potter, Miss Cora
Daggett, Miss Ada Mathie, Miss Birdie Bisline.
The tea-orinking was something astonishing,
being Kept up during the entire pantomime,
while the courtly bows of the participants were
as admirably done as though all the actors were
natives Of a nation whose people are far more po-
lite than the French. The young ladies and gen
tlemen who took part in the ceremony were ex-
quisitely attired, the costumes being specially
designed from Japanese models.
In addition to the marriage, Mr. Will Daggett
sung a song from the "Mikado." and Mrs. S. l..
Morrison sung Thursday" The piano music
was furnished by Miss Sylla, and all the
movements of the pantomime were timed by mu-
sic, her assistance was valuable.

AN UNDESIRABLE OFFICE.
The Many Functions and Meager Remunera-
ton of the Township Trustee.

II don't think" said Smith King, the best
trustee that Center township has ever had,
that can be doomed for the Republican nomi-
nation for that Office. Why9 Well, I'll tell you.
The trustee of Center township has to attend to
about sixty miles of roads; he has to attend to
the wants of thirteen school-houses and employ
thirty teachers, adjust all school disputes and
difficulties he has about thousand poor fami-
lies to care for; he has to make an
enumeration of white and colored voters;
ne has to make an enumeration of
school children; he has to prepare statistical
reports of the productions of the township,
amount of grain planted ETC.; he has to act as
fence-viewer and to build fish ladders; he is re-
suired to levy taxes he pays all the expenses
Of the township; he is required to act as clerk,
auditor and treasurer; he is custodian
of the township ballot boxes he is
judge and jury, and fills innumerable
other Offices and functions He is to do all this
for 81 day. and is required to give $50, 600
bond. Two dollars day will be all the pay the
Office will yield to q Republican trustee, as the
Board of County Commissioners, during the term
of the next trustee, will be Democratic and
nothing will be granted to Republican holding
that Office in the way of extra compensation, no
matter how onerous his duties or, how faithfully
no may discharge them. With township in
debt and bankrupt in funds, there will be no OPP
way of interest OH deposits. So you see the of
flee of township trustee, when the present occu-
pant leaves it, will not offer many alluring feat
