According to an old Breton custom,
all the marriages of the year take place
on one day. After the legal wedding
has been performed the couples take
their stand in row behind the high
altar of the church, and behind them
sit their fathers and mothers. and so do
aurts, all arrayed in their brightest
colored raiment and the whitest and
stiffest of coiffes. The scene in the
church is picturesque beyond descrip-
ton. They go through the ceremony in
unison. The moral support it must
give to the tirnidest bridegroom.

LANCAsTER NEW ERA. Feb. 16, Is

LANCASTER NEW ERA, Feb. l6, 1904.
There has been little improvement in
the local market for all old tobaccos.
Desirable kinds, it is true, are 10 de-
mand, but these are scarce, and the
transactions, consequently, continue to
be on a small scale. The jobbers who
have good country trade ought to be
doing better than the large packers, but
they complain as loudly as the rest. The
only sale of any consequence brought to
our notice was one of 225cs made by
Memo M. Fry & Co. For the cores
ponding week of last year the sales were
515cs.
AS the new year advances the packers
are beginning to take hold of last year 8
1909 crop. At least dozen packers
are at work and our advices are that a
good deal of tobacco has been bought
since the beginning of the present
month. In some localities the greater
portion Of the crop has been bought up,
while in others very little buying has
been done. There appears to be de-
termination to select crops more care
fully this year than usual, and that may
account for the good prices paid. A cor
respondent, writing from East Hemp
field, says that about one-fourth Of the
crop in that township has been sold, and
here are some of the sales:

on Monday Night.

There are many exciting situations
and interesting scenes that appeal to
the emotions of the heart in THE Viii
iage Parson" which begins an engage
ment at the Academy of Music next
Monday night, September 26.
The play is built with much clever
ness and effect, depicting the life of a
clergymen whose happiness has been
clouded by supposed unfaithfulness OF
his wife The plot brings out a ras-
caIly lawyer, whose sole ambition is
to separate husband and wife, SO that
he may gain her love and fortune. In
this he has been assisted by his broth
er, for whom he has little or no re-
Spect.
In aOrder to accomplish his purpose
of dcceitfulness, he sends an incrimi-
mating letter to the wife which by
chance fails into the hands of the
parson. The DarsOn, whose whole
heart has been wrapped up in his Wifea
welfare, changes on reading it's con-
tents. The wife, noble and true, clings
to her husband who spruns her from
him. and a very strong scene between
them is the result. AS the play pro-
gresses. it finally brings about a joyous
reconciliation and the guilty are pun
ished The play is elaborately put or
