On Monday night, Captain Stanton
of the government feet, when going
from town to the quarter boats with q
lantern about 10 O'Clock, was held up
by negro who came out of the BUSH

ordered him to throw up his hands.
That was no time to parley, aud Cap

GooDwIN-wILLIAMs.

Last Sunday night, the marriage OF
Mr.. Walter Goodwin and Miss Mary
Williams took place in the Methodist
Church under pleasant and imposing
The interior Of the
sacred edifice had been most artistical-
ly decorated under the supervision OF
Mrs. w. N. White, assisted by the
young ladies and everything appear
ed in perfect keeping with the festal
occasion. 1t was Marguerite" we'd
ding in every particular. The arch
under which the contracting parties
stood was decorated with evergreens
and Marguerites. Within the railing
on a marble table stood beautiful
mound of flowers, representing the
hill of lite. On either side of the altar
were the initial letters an" and "W."
while from the center of the arch
hung large floral bell, made Of Mar
guerite flowers, which ELECTED the
admiration OF all present. This ingen-
ious piece of workmanship was the
handiwork of Mrs. White.
At the appointed hour the bride
entered one aisle upon the arm of her
father, while the groom entered the
other upon the arm of his brother, Mr..
Mack Goodwin. They were preceded
by the little flower girls, sisters of the
parties, who scattered Marguerite on
the floor as they marched slowly to
the altar. Here the bride took the
arm of the groom, aud the impressive
ceremony was performed by the Rev
T. B. White. After the ceremony tbt
bridal party marched slowly out ano

Williams, WHITTIER they were followed

THANKSGIVING SERVICE AT THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH.

A large crowd of people found their
way to the Catholic Church on Thurs
day night to take part in the public
service held by the Rev. G. Maize on
that day.
The Church was more artistically |
and better decorated than we ever
saw it, and that is great deal to say.
for the Catholic congregation cvinces
always a great deal of taste in the F.!
decoration of their Church. The altar
was a mass of beautiful flowers artisti-
cally grouped, while here and there
peeped out, among the chrysantemums
and the roses, many colored lights that
gave to the whole decoration a pecu-
liar and artistic effect. The reredos Of
the altar was decorated with U. S.
flags and more colored lights suspend
ed here add there, around the arch that
forms the background of the Church.
At z O'Clock, the appointed time,
under the command of Lieutenant
Dayis, walked in Company G. of the
State National Guards, keeping steps
with march played on the fine organ
of the Church by Miss j. B. Witkowski.
Company c. had been invited by their
chaplain, Rev. c. Maize, to attend the
service in body aud during the cere-
mony they occupied seats prepared for
them within the chancel.
The music, as usually performed at
the Catholic Church of this place, was
of the highest order. Miss Marie
Jenkins sang a voluntary, in which
her magnificent voice was displayed to
advantage, and Mrs. j. E. Ransdell
sang also a solo which was greatly
admired. The choruses were excel
lent, and showed that the choir had
lost nothing of its reputation for ex-
cellence and good training.
The sermon by Father Maize was in
keeping with the day. patriotism in
it's relations to religion" was the theme
he had chosen. and it was logically
and eloquently treated by the Father.
He showed that Patriotism meant love
of country, submission to the laws oil
the land, and the furthering Of every
| interest of the country, and he proved
most conclusively that religion helped
to carry out each one of these phases
of patriotism. The Rev. Father made
a touching alIusion to the Confederate
Veterans and their cause, many OF
whom were present on the occasion
He ended in a prayer in which be
asked the congregation to join him.
| After the ceremony was over, Q
deputation from Company c walked
over to the priests house with Prof
Chess band, aud serenaded the Rev
Father. Lieutenant Guenard, in q
few well chosen words, thanked hin
for his kind services TO Company
c, aud especially for the introduction
of the public Thanksgiving celebra
ton in Providence, thus giving th,
|, Company chance to attend Church
in a body on that day. He ended il
wishing the Rev. Father many year
of good services as Chaplain of Com
pany G and Pastor of the Casholi
Church in Providence.
81 Considering that the notices OF tn
. Thanksgiving service were onl
, printed and circulated on Tuesday
a and that many failed to know Of Ia
: celebration, we think that the servic
a was quite a success.

Some of the children who saw the trained
animals which were exhibited in New York
last winter after their season at tho Chi
cago fair seemed to think it was much
more wonderful that the small animals,
the seals, the little dogs and the storls
should do their strange tricks than that
the lions, tigers and elephants showed
such sagacity and knowledge.
Yet the tiniest insect will show that 1t
has a reasoning faculty which naturalists
call instinct as big as the biggest elephant.
As an instance of this the New York
Times declares that the little ant. when she
Is laying IN her food supply for the winter,
will bite off the end of every grain of corn in
such u manner that it cannot sprout, as it
otherwise would when tucked away in her
little home in hole in the earth. If it
sprouted, it would not be good to eat, SO
she takes care that it does not.
And what docs a raven do when he finds

in the country, if you can, and you will
see him patiently bring pebble after pebble
to the little pool and drop them in. Grad
ualiy the stones fill it up, and the water is
forced out. Then he goes to work and
takes out all the pebbles, which leaves his
nook dry and ready for him again.
