DEATH OF E. H, WHITEHEAD,


 k. H. Whitehead died on Tuesday, March 26, lacking one day of being As years of age. He was born in New Fair field, the son of Harvey Whitehead, who removed to Bedding about 40 years ago with his family. A man of more than usual activity it is thought that he over exerted himself and thus brought on the disease, which caused hIs death. He leaves widow and two sons, John and Clinton. He was a brother of Henry Whitehead of Bedding Ridge and Lyman of Newtown. He also leaves two sisters, the wife of Philander Ferry, and the wife of z. Mellen of Holyoke, Mass. The funeral services took place at the house. Rev B. PillsburY read the burial ritual and made few appropriate re- marks. The interment was in the Ridge cemetery. The pail bearers were Tur- ney Sanford, Henry Sanford, W. c. San ford, Reuben Wheeler, A. H. Ferry and T. E. Platt. Mrs Whitehead desires to thank her neighbors from the bottom of her heart for their kindly assistance during the long illness of her husband and for their sympathy in her great sor- row.

A RKMINTSCENCE.

Over 20 years ago club was formed in this vicinity for literary entertainment and instruction called the "Library As- sociation, Mill Plain." The initials spell ed l.. A. M. F., which has proved to be an intellectual light in the village. On one occasion program was out which was we'll appreciated by an audience from Fairfield, Black Rock and South port. The singing was performed by 8 trio, who did eminent justice to them selves and the occasion. The trio was composed of A. Wakeman, c. Wakeley and D. Beers, Jr., who opened the enter tainment with the much loved song, Beautiful Star,' followed by a recital of the 103d Psalm," by MT Loveridge, showing the beauties of thought, embel- lished with 8 rendering in good elocution- ary style. Then followed ''Sam Weller's valentine" from the renowned Pickwick Papers. "Annie of the Vale" by the trio was gem of itself. "Father Phil' was all one could wish in it's rendering Barbara Freitchie" of the Rebellion rep utation was made to appear to us from beneath the old flag, her resting place. 'The Red, White and Blue," by the trio vas echoed by every heart. If you nev- er heard ''Isbeller with her gingham um- breller," do get W. H. Smith to sing it
 
 took the stage to give us "Van Am burgh's menagerie." Mrs Marshall in want of servant" was read by Mrs Per " to show the perplexity Of the times on that so important American question, what shall we do for help. "Miss Ma loney on the Hathan Chinaser," by MT Loveridge was capital burlesque. Again Mir Smith sung to us, taking this time for his theme "Phebe Brown" and by that with the ''Spelling song," he put on the cream to the literary dish and brought the house down. "The smack in school" by Mrs Perry, perhaps was specimen of the doings where co-education of the sexes is harped 30 much about in these days. loft in the stilly night" was sung Sweetly by our trio. "The Guides in Southern Europe" by MT Loveridge was richly relished even by those who do not admire Mark Twain. It is doubted whether Mark was not outdone on this occasion. Betty and the bear," by Mrs Perry, was conclusive argument that women can do something. "Home, sweet home," by the trio, wound up the enter tainment. D. H. Sherwood, the chair man of the occasion, offered thanks to the performers and the vote being ''put" to the house was unanimously adopted. The L. A. M. F. now burns with feeble light, as many shreds of the "wick" have been drawn out and diminished it's bright ness. but it is to be hoped that new strands may be added to increase the fu- ture illumination and keep the told times" in remembrance.

 A very pretty chu'ch wedding was witnessed by a la gp number If people on Wednesday, April 3, at the Methodist church in Stepney, Edward E Cuitis and Elosia A. Selleck being the contract ing parties. The plstform where the pulpit stood was banked with potted plants, making one mass of blossoms. A white ribbon was fastened to either side of the galleries trimmed with white car nations and from it was suspended an evergreen horse shoe containing the initials ''S. O. Underneath this horse shoe the bridal couple stood as the nup- rial knot was tied. At an early hour the church was filled with the fri-nds of the couple who listened to the sweet music of the organ brought out by George J. Banks of Easton. At just 2 l5 p. m., the doors swung open and the bridal couple, preceded by two of the ushers and two in the rear, kept step to the bridal march. The bride was handsomely attired in dove col pred dress of novelty goods, trimmed in white point lace. She wore bouquet of white carnations. The venerable and beloved Methodist pastor, Rev J. B. Merwin, D. D., after few we'll chosen and appropriate remarks, pronounced them husband and wife, after which the bride and groom march ed out to the music of the Mendelssohn march, finely rendered by Mir Banks.
