A WEDDING IN RoxBURY

What time there is in store for the small boys, (and also for some of the big Ones), when Clarence gets around, next week. They are hunting up all the old tin pans that have got holes in them, so they can make ter .rible noise. There is not a horn in town but has been secured, all kinds from a dinner horn to a fog horn, and
 would you believe it, MT Editor, they have secured the services of green horn. Of course the readers of the
 busy BEE will want to know what is all this noise about, and may as we'll tell them in as few words as possible. That on March II, Rev Walter Downs Humphrey tied knot so hard on two of our young people of this place that 1t will take lifetime to undo 1t. The parties to the contract were Clarence Trowbridge and Miss Helen Goodsell
 MT Trow bridge IS in the employ of the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. Co. at the Station at koxbury. Miss Helen Goodsell was a teacher in Room B of the Weller school, where she held a position for nearly three years. This is the second young lady that had the honor of wearing the matrimonial badge from Weller district school, since the present committee was put in as caretaker. No wonder the com mittee looked smiling, this morning, while smoking one of Clarence's cigars
 When asked the reason, he burst out in a fit of laughter and said that he had six applications already to teach
