SUBURBAN NOTES.

SCARBORC.
Success is attending the work of the Saliva
ton Army at Dunstan's Corner, Scarboro.
The meeting CT Sunday evening was an es-
pecially interesting one, the hall being
packed to its full capacity by people coming
from far and near to listen to the earnest
workers of the redeemed slaves. The
Christian workers of this place are joining
IN the praises and wishing them success In
their labors.
YARMOUTH
Workmen are busily engaged in putting up
a new matched ceiling of cottonwood, in the
chapel of the First Parish church. When
this is finished the staging will be transfer
red to the church which is to be handsomely
frescoed. The woodwork is also to be REIN
Ished IN shellac and oil, and the whole church
carpeted. The parsonage has recently been
newly painted and papered throughout.
BowERY BEACH.
The crops on the Cape never gave promise
of more abundant yield than now. The
cabbage crop will be about the same in guam
tity as last season, but owing to rapid
growth, the result of frequent rains, the
quality will be hardly as good. The very
late ones, however, will probably be inferior
to none before raised.
II there is no rot the potato harvest will
probably exceed both in quantity and quail
ty that of last season. They are even now
very low in price, the farmers selling for
$1.00 per barrel.
The helds OF squashes are looking nncom-
monty healthy, and the vines are richly laden
with their fruitage of green and gold. AL
though this is the off yea, the apple orchards
bid fair to produce a good average crop of
remarkably fine fruil. Worms and blight OF
rust, have damaged the beans somewhat
near the coast. Owing to unfavorable
weather, those who began haying late have
not yet finished; while those who harvested
their hay crops early in July, are now cut

Some Of the shoremen are doing quite well
jigging and netting them in Cape cove near
the Ocean House.
Friday, on information of unknown par
ties, deputy sheriff Gribben made liquor
seizure at the Ocean House. We are not in
formed of the size of the capture, but believe
it to have been very small

CONRAD-ADAMS.
The MANY friends of Miss Hattie N
Adams of Limerick, well known in the musi-
cal and social circles of this city, as organist
at High street church, will read with plea
sure the account of her wedding, which
occurred August 18th. The groom is the
Rev. A. Z. Conrad, of the Ainslee street
Presbyterian church, Brooklyn, N. Y. The
ceremony was performed in presence of the
family and immediate friends of the BRIDE
at her fathers residence in Limerick, Rev.
Geo. B. Hatch officiating.
The bride was necessarily charming, being
a bride; being Miss Adams also, the charm
was greatly heightened by her own peculiar
grace of manner. AS, leaning on the arm of
her future partner, she took her place under
the beautiful evergreen arch and wedding
bell that loving hands had adorned for her
she seemed the ideal bride. If the groom
thought so, he shall not be blamed, She
was elegantly dressed in a cream Ottoman
silk, with Queen Victoria corsage and court
train, the dress being trimmed with deep
founces of Oriental point lace. The bridal
veil of white tulle, caught with orange bios
SONS, fell to the floor. Slippers of white kid
and ornaments of flowers and diamonds com
pleted the costume. The wedding service
was short and impressive, and was followed
by the usual and fitting smiles and tears of
congratulation. The elegant collation. was
somewhat hastily discussed, as the bridal
party had to take carriages at 8 o'clock for
the railroad station.
The gifts were many and costly. From the
i; Of
unique design from the father, Steinway
square grand piano, most appropriate gift,
if one considers the melodious fingers and
''volant touch" of the bride; from the
mother, most elegant service of silver COM
plete; from the brother and wife, solitaire
diamond ring; and from the sister, a silver
ice urn. Gifts from friends, in silver, in
needle work, and in art, were too numerous
for separate mention, though worthy of it.
The bridal tour includes Mt. Desert and
the White Mountains, after which the happy
pair return to Limerick for their reception,
and thence to their home in Brooklyn, N. Y.
Y.
