This winter, for continuous cold

Hyde Park has lost another of it's
fair maids. Russell Munson's was
the scene of a happy event Sunday,
Jan. %, it being the marriage of his
daughter Minnie to Thomas Richard
son of MorrisvilIe. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. Mr.. Nanton
in his usual pleasant manner, in the
presence of the parents of both par
ties. The happy couple left on the
evening train Monday for st. Johns
bury, their future home, amid the |
good wishes of their many friends |
and a shower of rice.
The marriage of Oramel TilIotson
and Miss Rosamond Noyes occurred
this Wednesday, afternoon, at the
home of the bride. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. Mr.. Taylor,
and was witnessed by a large num-
Der of the friends and relatives of |
the contracting parties. There were
many gifts of both useful and orna-
mental character. The home of the
young couple is to be at North |
Craftsbury, where they intend to go
at once. "Rossie," as she is famil-
iarly known here, has a host of
friends, who, while regretting her de-
parture from the place, wish her and |
her life-mate a life of unalloyed Joy
and prosperity.
The public installation of the Off
GERS of the Odd Fellows lodge last |
Friday evening was well attended,
despite the unfavorable weather. At |
a late hour word was received from |
the District Deputy that he could |
not be here, owing to sickness, and |
Past Grand Mcfarland was dele
gated to fill his place. Considering
the short notice the work was we'll
performed. Before and after the in
stallatiOn the orchestra discoursed
fine music. The exercises at the hall
concluded with an eloquent address
by Rev. E. j. Ranslow of Swanton,
which was a tribute to the principles
of Odd Fellowship. 1t was scholarly
and interesting throughout, and re-
ceived hearty applause. The COM
pany then repaired to the Phoenix,
where sixty sat down to an excellent
repast. r. w. Hulburd acted as
toastmaster and announced the
speakers in his own inimitable way.
Remarks were made by II. M. McFar-
land, Principal Farr, Rev. E. j. Rams
low, II. M. Noyes, s. B. Waite and L.
Ell. Lewis. All of the speakers with the
exception of the latter were very in
teresting, and yet We believe the
palm for keeping his hearers in con-
tinuous laughter belongs to Mr.
Ranslow, whose stock of stories and
witty sayings was exhaustless. The
exercises at the banquet hall con-
cluded with the doxology, after
which a large number assembled in
the parlors and spent some time in
singing college songs. Thus ended a
very interesting event, one which
we think was greatly enjoyed by
both the Odd Fellows and their
guests. The lodge felt highly hon
ored by the acceptance of SO many
of the invitations by their friends,
whose presence added greatly to the
success of the occasion. Following
