show temper and objects of the Repub-
licans of Sussex:

Resolved, That the Republican party is
the real and practical friend of temperance
reform, and we reaftirm its former decara-
tiOn to vote to submit the question of local
option or high license, if license must be.
if its nominees be elected.
ResolUed, That we invite, without dis

Prof. w. A. Henry, director of the
Wisconsin Experiment Station. A
tale Is given showing the result of
experiments made at the station in
feeding sixteen calves from good com
mon dairy stock up to the age of two
years, the point emphasized being that
q young animal gives far better returns
for feed consumed than an old one.
An article of Mildly Morgan in the same
number treats of the feeding and the
care of the pigs, and the live stock
notes are full of suggestions and advice
that are timely reading for the farmer
at this season of the year. There is
also a practical article on good and
bad horse-shoeing, and one treating of
the disease of young fowls.
The Autumn issue of ,Sralgbridoe e.
COthier's Quarterly, just received from
the publishers, is fully up to its estab-
lished high grade of excellence. as a
magazine for ladies'. A unique feature
of the present issue is the openinp arti-
Gle on the Bayeux Tapestry, one of the
most curious and interesting relics of
by-gone times. The original of this
tapestry, now at Bayeux, France. is
believed TO have been wrought bv the
ladies of the court of William the Con-
queror, under the supervision of his
wife Matilda. If so, then this colassaI
piece of needlework is fully 500 wears
old. Accompanying an account of the
tapestay are eight strips of reproduc-
ton from the fac-simile, now on exhibit
ton at Memorial Hall, Fairmount
Park, Philadelphia. The colored Htb-
ograph frontispiece of specimens of
the latest French styles is made practi-
cable by full description in the BODY of
the book. The fashion gossip will not
be wearisome to the ladies. although
we notice that many pages are given to
that engrossing subject, A separate
article on children's fashions indicates
that the question of what the children
shall wear, is becoming of nearly the
same Importance as the clothing of the
young ladies of the house.

flowers, hanging baskets, &c. A new
feature was an organ in the pulpit re-
cess completely shut out by the mass
OF howers in front, and from which
Miss Clara Wilson played the wedding
march. A large, shapely umbrella COW
cred with autumn leaves was suspended
over the altar, under which the bride
and groom stood during the ceremony
which was sOlemnized by Rev. VIM. S.
Robinson, using the the full ritual, with
the ring.

George B. Hynson, of Milford. The
bride was dressed in travelling suit of

At the close of the ceremony the happy
couple were driven to Clayton where
they took the cars for Boston. The
