 STAFFORD.
 At the auction sale of the Fox mill on Saturday the only bid was by Samuel Rockwell, and was $15, ,OOO, the limit fix ed at the outset, No persuasion of the eloquent auctioneer could draw a nod or a word to raise this. Prominent manu- lecturers were there, but no one seemed to care to buy. The result was disap- pointing to those interested in the estate; also to those who hoped to See purchase by some one who would start up the mill. The other property, advertised to be sold at the same time, as rule brought prices below the rate of appraisal. The several tracts of wood and sprout land advertised were sold as follows: One on Holland road to Eli Neff; the Gray lot in the same

 The marriage of Samuel Rockwell and Miss Anne Williams, which took place on Thursday evening last, was an event for the town, the groom being one of it's best known citizens, and one sup posed until very recently to be confirmed in bachelorhood. His break may be an example for the other "boys," and bring in harvest of fees to the resident clergy. The ceremony took place at the Rock
 
 generations of Rockwells have been born, welded and departed. The famed hospi- tality of the old farm house crowning the hill which bears the family name, and so famed for it's fine prospect and beautiful environments, was amply sustained on this occasion. Some forty guests attend ed, witnessed the ceremony as impressive ly performed by Rev. T. c. Druley, and sat down to a substantial and we'll pre- pared repast. "No presents accepted was an innovation on a custom quite prevalent of late. Bride and groom are people of ample means, we'll equipped to begin housekeeping, and are doing so in the Wolcott house at the south end of Stafford Street, on the edge of the home stead farm, now given up to the occu- pancy of brother and sister yet unmar- ried.

The farm is very near Mir. Lords residence at Parker, South Dakota.

 It looks very much as though Dr. Has. sett would receive the appointment as pension examiner in place of Dr. Camp unless Col. Brown, who is quite close tc the administration and also to Dr. CamI as a neighbor and friend, asks that the latter be retained, as personal favor Dr. Hassett's petition is signed by nearly every democratic member of the legisla ture, and also by the members of the state committee, the town and count, committees, and other prominent demo crsts.
