At the same wedding festivities the
bridesmaids wore pale violet silk

A duck, bit of celebrity in his way
both on account Of his age and scrupu-
lous wilderness, has lately died in one
of the Highgate ponds. The frost was
at first believed to be the cause of his
sudden departure, but loafer in the
neighborhood, being very short of
victuals and none too particular as to
matters of commissariat, decided that
a dead duck was a dead duck, however
defunct, so he took the corpse home
He and his wife proceeded to dress the
creature, and in the course of their ex-
cavations came across strange variety
Of foodstuffs. With the usual voracity
Of It's race the duck had managed in
the course of it's earthly career to col
lect several fish hooks, rusty nail,
pen, and last, but not least, full-sized
leafet referring to the county council
election. This was much damaged,
but bore the words indelibly upon it,
