The Bridal Couple Congratulated.

In concluding its account of the Hus-
band-Bullard wedding the Montpelier
Journal very happily says,
The members of the Montpelier con-
tingent who, unhappily, could not have
their names herein recorded, present their
sincerest congratulations to the dupl-
Gated Horace" for whom they are
wishing the scriptural length of life,
with plentiful prosperity, with health
and strength for it's enjoyment, and bliss
unalloyed.
The array of wedding gifts, 1t may be
conventional to remark, testified to the
high esteem in which the couple is held,
but there could be nothing conventional
or perfunctorv in the feelings which
prompted the bestowal of the beautiful
articles OF silver and gold, and the mani
fold pieces of use or virtu. A generous
check from Senator Proctor told how q
comrade in the war and friend iu peace
hands down his regard to the succeeding
generation.
1t was brilliant wedding, brilliant
with its flowers and gifts, its large com
pany of attendants, and all the pretty
pageantry of marriage ceremony. ant
very beautiful in the wealth of good will
exhibited toward the married pair, indl
vidualy and unitedly, and most beauti
tul in the winning personality of bride
and groom.

The Canadian Scale Factory.

Commenting on the plans to build a
scale factory in Canada the Barre Times
says:
1t is pleasing to note that the Fair.
banks Scale Company of St. Johnsbury
is considering plans for expansion, al
though the announcement would be
doubly pleasing il the expansion were to
be in this state. But Canada promises
to be the gamer as the company thinks
it advisable to establish factory at
some place there in order to save the du
ties. Several Canadian cities are already
bidding for the branch factory. II th'
factory is established across the line il
will not mean the impairment of the St
Johnsbury end of the business to any ex
| tent.
