event, together with the popularity of the con-
tracing parties, brought together such a cOngre

last similar event, the marriage of Samuel Nickers
to Eliza Gregg, which took place nearly twenty
years ago. Mrs. Merritt is well-known throughout
this neighborhood, as she has made occasional
visits for many years past, being an earnest 'lin-
lister of the gospel of the Society of Friends, and
an active temperance worker. About year ago,
at the earnest request of the members of Plainield
church, She with her son and daughter located
here that she might use her efforts toward the
building up of the membership of the church,
which was vlsibly on the decline. During that
time she has held services regularly, and the re-
suits of her work are manifest in an increased in
terest and attendance. The groom is well and
fayOrably known as a man possessing many
sterling qualities of character, and the friends of
both unite in wishing them continued years of
happiness and feel justified in the belief that they
will be useful ones. NJ.

Among other anecdotes of university
life Dean Hole tells of an occasion when
there was some doubt as to the locality
of a city mentioned in Greek text, and
the lecturer addressed a youth who had
just come up from the famous Shrews-
bury school. Now. Mr. Bentley, you are
a pupil Of our great geographer, DR.. But
Ter, the Atlas of our age, who carries the
world not on his shoulders, bat in his
head, and you can probably enlighten us
as to the position of this ancient town. ="
Il believe, sir" was the prompt reply,
that modern travellers are of the opin-
ion that the city ought to be placed about
ten miles to the southeast of the spot
it now occupies on our map"
After receiving respectful thanks for
his information, the informer told Dean
Hole as they left the lecture room that
he had never heard of the venerable city
before. but that for the honor of Shrews
bury and the reputation of DR.. Butler
he felt himself bound to say something.
