 STAFFORD.
 Miss Grace E. Medbery was married at the residence of her father, James A. Medbery, in this village, yesterday, to Rev. J. O. Campbell, pastor of the United Presbyterian church at Arkansas City, Kansas. The ceremony was witnessed by large party of relatives and of the young people of the village, and was performed by Rev. Geo. Acott Phinney, of Boston, who himself, week ago, welded an in innate friend of the bride. There was 8 display of presents, infinite in number and variety, from friends of the bride, and a similar collection awaits their inspection on their arrival at the parsonage III their far-western home. They left after the ceremony for months pleasure trip, to take in New York, Philadelphia, Washing ton and naaIly west m cities, and on their arrival at Arkansas City will aecupy 8 handsome new parsonage, which MT. GampbelPs people have just completed for their occupancy. While eongratulating the hrideton the fair prospects for her fu- ture happiness, the people of Stafford Springs will universally regret the loss of one SO amiable and accomplished from our village society the more se that she has so obligingly favored every class and socie- ty when called upon to give to their en- tertsinments the aid that her rare musical accomplishments so well qualified her to do. The community in which she is now to have home already knows her from brief residence as musical teacher there, but cannot oyer-estimate its.gain in seour ing her permanent residence.

 -Wm. Lee, superintendent of the Wood lawn poultry yards, is just realizing pro- ducts from his incubator, and it is an in- teresting sight to see the little fellows blinking in the light of the world into which they are just born. The incubator was started with about one hundred eggs, aud others are added from time to time. Mir. Lee dispenses with patent breeders, but instead has many hens setting, and 8 sys- tenn of'exehanging with the setting hens ehfekens foF their partially hatGhetl eggs gets his chickens brought up in the nat Hral way. These poultry yards are fitted Hn with every convenience and comfort to make poultry raising profitable, and now contains between 200 and 300 old fowls and chickens, broods of the latter having begun to appear ill February, and being poW ready for market as broilers, During thsS kIe44Sing season the different yarteties of fowls are kept in separate penis. The yard contains all the best varieties bred from carefully selected stock. Mr. Lee pansiaers the tangsshans t9 be bis most pro6tsble fowl forr laying, and is breeding largely from this variety, though also rais- ingmany Aeghorns, Wyahdottes, Plymouth Roaks, etc. 4 visit ta the Woodlawn farm is quite interesting at this season, to others as well as agrieultqriats.
