In one part of the Canton of Ticino a
very quaint marriage ceremony prevails.
The bridegroom dresses in his Sunday
best" and accompanied by as many
friends and relatives as he can muster
for the fete goes to claim his bride.
Finding the door locked he demands
admittance; the inmates ask him his
business, and in reply he ~solicits the
hand Of his chosen maiden.
If his answer be deemed satisfactory
he is successfully introduced to a num-
Der of matrons and maids, some perhaps
deformed and others old and ugly. Then
he is presented to some large dolls. all
of which he rejects with scorn, amid
general merriment. The bewildered
bridegroom, whose impetuosity and
temper are now sorely tried, is then in,
formed that his lady love is absent and
invited in to see for himself.
He PUSHES into the house and searches
from room to room until he finds her in
her bridal dress, ready to go to church.
Then r his troubles over and his state
as a benedict assured.-Swiss Republic.

THE COOLEST DAY YET.
OFFICIAL Theraometsrs Record 20
Degrees Below Zero.
The Lowest Shown by the Local
Records for Nineteen Years.
There was no Wind and Hence
There was Little Suffering.

The thermometer became desperate
Sunday morning. so desperate, in fact,
that it Just let go of everything and fell.
1t wasn't q ways particular about how
far it fell, either. and it went down to 90
degrees below zero in a very few hours.
Old Boreas began to hump himself late
Saturday afternoon, and 30 enthusiastic
was he to show just how uncomfortable
he could be that Signal Service Observer
Ravenscraft had nothing in the world to
do but follow the example OF the small
boy at the circus who sits down and
spreads his mouth and holds his breath
till the band begins to play. At 5 a. m.
Sunday the thermometer registered 4 de-
grees below zero; at II o'clock the same
day it had dropped to to 20 and was still
going down.
Meanwhile the people generally had al
most unanimously decided that as it was
Sunday they didn't have any very urgent
business to attend to. and consequently
the streets were deserted, almost as much
as a poor acquaintance is along about
Christmas. All this time old Boreas was
increasing his speed. 1t seemed that he
had been studying for hours just how he
could get a little free advertising, and he,
from the successful showing made, went
at it with a will born of heroism. About S
o'clock in the afternoon Sunday, old
Boreas united his bszoo, and q steady
breeze began. which was actually stiff
enough to freeze a man a lump OF ice free
of charge, upon his mustache, while he
was going half a block. At 4
o'clock yesterday Monday) morning
il stood 29o below, as officially recorded by
Signal Observer Raveuscraft' instrument,
3l3o below according to the instrument
upon the front door of Rhodes & Trox-
ellis drug store and $40 as registered at Il.
r. Hicks stable. Mr.. Ravenscraft said
that he did not doubt 10 the least that it
was 80 below on the ground, and even
colder than that on the open prairie. Che
official seli-registerinr thermometer is in

about 1000 enlisted men and has the
reputation of being one OF the best dis
cipiined regiments in the State. They
camped at Bowling Green last year and
were ilonized by the citizens. 1t will
be big advertisement for our town to
have them here, as it win be safe to
say there wall be from 1000 to 5000
visitors here every day OF the encamp-
ment and large amount of money will
be left in town. 1t behooves our

ihe Fourth-The Weather and Crops-
PcrsonaI.
The glorious old Fourth has come
and gone and some are feeling happy
with the thought that they celebrated
the day (of all days to the true Ameri-
CAM in becoming manner, while there
are no doubt, those who are perhaps
sorry in their hearts for the manner
IN which they spent the day. Quite a
number OF our Bowling people cele-
orated in the burg and report having
had glorious good time. Perrysburg
is good place to go to have good
time.
Our farmers are considerably down
at the mouth since the last flood. MANY
corn helds were completely inundated
and it will be several days before culti-
Vatlng can be resumed even if it should
continue fair weather.
There has been scarcely any hay cut
as yet and of that, that has been cut the
life has been all washed out by the re-
cent flood. The fruit crop will be al
most an entire failure. What few
apples are hanging on the trees are
constantly dropping off.
The continued wet weather has also
injured the wheat, which few weeks
ago promised a fair crop.
Children's day which was observed
at the M. E church passed off very
nicely. The programme was magnifi-
cent one and was carried out to pertec-
tion.
The low dastardly cuss who forever
blighted the future prospects of a
sweet young damsel of this vicinity
should be eternally banished from
among all human beings and be forced
to spend the remainder of his miserable
eXistance on some lonely island with
only dogs and venomous reptiles for
his companions. AS much as we abhor
the dolngs OF "Judge Llnch'. we could
almost concur in his decision in this
case should he be called upon to pre-
side. The people are much stirred
over this matter and it is hard to tell
at this writing what the consequences
may be.

In almost every neighborhood through

for such persons to take especial pleas

others. The praise that follows its i'll

chronic diarrhoea. II such be the case
