Those who looked into Christ church Saturday afternoon were pleased with the elaborate decorations. A bunch of laurel blossoms was placed at the top of each pew. making a semblance of floral path from the front door to the chancel. The font was filled with American Beauty roses, and the chancel railing was twined with white blossoms while a large arch of white flowers spanned the altar. It was all very pretty, and shows how much in tereSt the young folks took in the wed- ding of MT. Lowell and Miss Hines. And when the ceremony was over the bells of Christ church, as is the cus- tom, rang out merry peal to let the villagers know that two more human and Mrs. Lowell will set up housekeep- ing in Harris street, in MT. Stagg's house.

If our merchants would burn up their refuse and not permit it to accumulate in the back yards much litter and inconven- fence would be obviated. As it is the people residing south of the Congrega- tional church have to spend consider able time cleaning up the streets.
