Happily Welded.

A nice, romantic wedding was cele-
brated at the home OF Mr.. and Mrs.
NJ. Gravel, two miles east of town on
Monday, the 9th inst. The high con-
tracing parties were Albert Gravel
and Miss Julia Robedeau. There
were between sixty and seventy guests
present, largely relatives OF the bride
and groom, and near neigh6ors OF The
family. The words that changed the
relationship of the contracting parties
were spoken by Rev. p. 2. Briol, the
French Presbyterian pastor OF the
society recently organized at Man
chester, this parish.
The ceremony was conducted in the
open air, under the wide spreading
umbrella trees with which the yard is
so beautifully shaded. After the cere-
mony dinner was served, to which all
seemed to do justice.
Among the side ceremonies was a
, realistic revival of the "Dance in the
Z; Pig Trough" which the three elder
= brothers of the groom were urgently
invited to perform, and which under
the circumstances, and the character

Ten of those who lost their lives
were spilled out Of the small boats,
three men, waters on the vessel, were
suffocated before they could reach the
outer air from their hunks in the aft
part of the ship, and one woman died
later from exposure.
Four boats filled with women and
children and sufficient men to man
them were dropped over from the
windward side Of the vessel each con-
tanning about sixteen persons. The first
boat capsized almost as soon as it
touched the water, by getting under
the stern of the ship. All the passen
gers in this were rescued by the other
small boats except Miss Steiner, first
class passenger, who was drawn under
the ship when the boat capslzed.
The second boat capsized while De-
ing lowered. There we're no passen-
genres in. it at the time, but the crew
Of four men were thrown out and lost.
