A Romantic wedding.

Guthrie has been for a week ex-
pectant of happy wedding, with a
romantic touch, to come of at any
moment, and ii happened at 3 o'clock
yesterday evening. The contracting
PARTIES were Dr. j. M. Marshall, the
popular physician OF that place, and
Miss Emily Frey, a highly accom-
plished lady of Rossview vicinity.
The marriage took place at White
Chapel, Rev. Ed. Ross officiating,
Will Day and Charlie McMurry the
ushers. This wedding was expected
to have taken place some months
ago, but the young lady decided to
first visit her native home in Ireland,
and accompanied her new brother-in-
law and sister, Alfred Killebrew and
bride, on their bridal trip to the old
country. The Doctor was expected
to follow and have the affair settled
beyond the gIeat waters, but he
didn't go. Then the wires brought
tidings that the bride expectant had
sailed, and would arrive at Guthrie
on Saturday night, aud then came
the news of the shipwreck, but the
young lady was saved as by the
hand Of providence, though the Doc
tor was kept in ian extreme state OF
suspense. Finally the whole party,
Mr.. KillebreW and wife and Miss
Emily, put in their appearance, ar.
irving az Guthrie Monday night
The LEAF CHONICLE extends its
hearty congratulations.

Christmas Joys.

Ere we greet our readers again
Christmas with its good cheer will be
here, and we hope bringing joy and
gladness to every heart. Old Santa
Claus, with his wrinkled face wreath
ed with a broad smile, and his large
eyes beaming with love, will have
passed around with his great wallet,
scattering blessings everywhere, and
his song will be: "Glory to God in
the highest; peace on earth and
good will toward man. May not
one be overlooked, from the young
est to the oldest, from the humblest
to the greatest, for Jesus has heart
for all Make the best of it, dear
friends, for it is day to be glad; to
make merry. Give thanks; give
gifts; express love; get happy and
feel good and very bad man or
boy is he who can feel like fighting.
1t is the day which all the civilized
world celebrates, and both saint and
sinner acknowledges the Almighty
from whom all blessings flow. Let
the tariff crank subside for one week +,
and let the silver boomer gush, for it
is bright things we want this week.
Hang UP your stockings and get
ready for old Krss to morrow morn
ing, and good luck to every one.
May you all live long and be happy.

A Creditable Entertainment.

A concert was given last night by
the Sisters of st. Aloysius school
which was a credit to both the pro-
moters and the young PEOPLE taking
part. The exercises consisted of
music, Rotations, etc., and the pro-
gram was presented in manner
that evinced careful training and
elected the approval of those pres.
ent. The audience was very small,
the inclement weather preventing a
larger attendance.

At seven O'Clock or half past seven,

But ON the ~Loulevards there j. little
choice. the rents are so enormous that
they oblige the managers of restaur

Foreigners, beware, You are exploited
in Paris just as we are probably
pounced upon i'm New York. Capitals
have nothing to learn from one an
other in that respect.
Nine o'clock-You go TO the theater,
smoking your cigar, while spectators
on the Bourse crowd into the vast hall
Of the Credit Foncier and cry out with
much noise the morrow's operations.
1t is what is called the petite BouHe du
soir.
Midnight-The theaters close. This
is the time when the aspect Of the
boulevards is most varied. All classes
of society mingie, elbowing and push
ing another. Ladies from the Eau
bourg Saint-Gemain alight from their
coupes, and stop for a cup Of chocolate
at Tortoni's. On the sidewalk they run
against might beauties'-women with
painted faces who ogie ut belated pro
vincials Club men. with collars turned
up and a cigar between their lips, turn
their steps toward the clubs, where
they intend 20 indulge in a game Of
baccarat.
The dramatic critics rush 10 their
newspapers in order TO improvise their
accounts Of the play. And conspicuous
above the incongruous throng a legion
of ragged hawker, whom We call
camelots, echo one another's voices on
the ~boulevardS, ~proffering 10 the pub
lie ignoble papers full Of nastiness and
ISLANDERS. This is one Of the worst
offenses Of Paris, this deluge Of filthy
publications which are cried out with
IMMUNITY in our streets without the po-
lice daring 10 interfere. -FranciSque
