 There was a quiet wedding uptown eaE'y Saturday evening, the contract ing parties being Henry De Forge, aged tWenty-one, and Miss Bertha De Mou- rosty, aged tWenty-two years. Both are trench-Canadians and reside here. About o'clock a hack drove up in front of Rev. J. J. Blair's residence on Main street and two ladies dressed in white, each carrying bouquet, and two young men alighted and went into the parsonage. After half hour, or less, one of the young men came out and started for the town clerks office after the necessary marriage license, which, owing no doubt to ineXperience in such matters, the couple had failed to procure. After the important docu- ment had been procured the knot was tied In due order and the happy couple appeared and entered the hack and were driven away.
 There was a lively runaway on Colo ny street early Saturday evening. Will liam Poole's horse started on a run and when it was stopped the milk wag- on was complete wreck and scattered in all directions.
 Charles Brogden's Columbia bicycle was stolen from the rack in front of the Temperance league rooms early Saturday evening. A stranger who had been seen about the place is sup posed to be the thief.
 The ball game Saturday afternoon between the Wallingfords and River sides of New Haven was too one-sided to be even interesting and proved a great disappointment to the big crowd of spectators who had gathered expect ing to see an interesting contest. The Wallingfords took the lead in the first inning by scoring six runs and dupli- cated it in the second and kept it up until run getting was rather monoto- nous. The visitors got three runs early in the game and three more in the ninth inning, after two men were out, by reason of some careless playing on the part of the home team. The total score was "A to 6. The Riversides com- prised a collection of ball players from various sources, including one Yale freshman, and did not come up to ex- pectations, as it was evident that they had been overrated by some of their friends.
 The boys team from St. Rose church of Meriden came down here Saturday morning and played ball with a nine iron, the Holy Trinity church and were defeated by a score of 10 to 9. At least that is the score given by the Walling- ford boys.
