are developing excellent mechanical
abilities. They have constructed by
their Inventive knowledge an engine

be highly creditable TO persons Of
older growth. The boiler first con-
structed could not generate steam
to propel the boat for which it is
designed with sufficient speed, and
now q new porCupine boiler is being
made which they expect will remedy
the defects Of the one which had 10

will be applied TO a propeller and ex'
cursions on the Solomon will be rare

An Easter wedding, the ring Cere-
mony being nsed symbOliCal of an
union never to be broken. The ritual
Of the church was soon spoken and
the bride and groom pronounced hus-
band and wife. The brides gown
was q cream tinted cashmere, while

tional black. The church was filed
to its utmost capacity by q large and
brilliant audience, the seating ar

ton has long been regarded az in
dispenslble to such occasions. The
offending deity was soon appeased
by suitable oblations and good cheer
again was king. To the travelling
men with whom the house was filled
the scene was one not ordinarily laid
down in their program. But they
we're not forgotten. At an early hour
the guests departed in delightful an.
ticipation Of the coming events. The
groom is clerk in the bank Of Logan,
a position he has held for q number
Of years and is universally respected,
while the bride is the daughter OF one
Of our prosperous farmers, and for
the past year has been a teacher in
one Of the departments Of our public
school. The contracting parties have
the benizons Of numerous friends in
the journey of life 4
