is it right to put the owners of property in
district No. 10 to an expense of from $500
to $500 for a new schoolhouse at this bleak
place when the present building can be
easily and cheaply repaired. and when the
tendency of hill top farms to he turned into

Marriage is an event that takes place
occasionally among the citizens of DUN
merstOn, but a real wedding. with the aC-
complaining festivities, is of rare occur
renee. Two weeks ago cards were sent out
announcing that June p. 1891. had been
appointed day for the marriage of Lila
Frances Miller to Joseph Dustin Reed at
the home of the brides parents. Mr.. and
Mrs. H. Harry Miller. AT the appointed
hour, O clock in the evening, "A of the
invited guests had assembled TO witness the
interesting ceremony, making a company
OF between 30 and 60 persons in all. The
rooms were handsomely decorated with
laurel and bouquets of roses. The impress
sive ceremony was performed by Rev. Frank
f. Lewis of Putney, while the company
remained standing. The bride was very
charming in a dress of white muslin. or
what the ladies may call French organdie
lawn. The bridal veil was illusion lace.
Miss Alice LaughtOn was bridemaid and
looked very attractive in "A dress of white
trimmed with pink. Mr.. Frank Dickinson
was best man. The presents were numer-
Gus and valuable, gifts of silver predomi-
mating. Immediately after the marriage
ceremony came the usual greetings, follow
ed by the distribution of wedding cake.
Mr.. f. II. Miller, who was master of cere-
monies, entertained the company with
vocal selections, and Mr.. L. L. Stark Joined
in singing near the close of the festivities,
which lasted till about II o'clock. AS we
passed out into the street. the stars shone
brightly in the clear armament above and
not the least evidence appeared of a shower
of rice and old shoes, although in the earlier
part OF the evening, when the minister had
pronounced the young couple husband and
wife, we heard rapid discharges of India
firecrackers.

a strange civilian passed through the
school in quest of one of the police de-

The mimic struggle between the sup
posed drunk and the majesty of the Ia w
was suspended. and the fifty new po-
licemen proceeded to size up the citizen
in plain dress. After he had retired the
sergeant asked the squad:
"Think you've got that fellows meas

"Yes-Oh, yes!'' cried the squad in a
