READ HIS OWN OBITUARY. 1t sometimes
happens that man has the pleasure, or other
wise, of reading his obituary, but not often.
DR.. John c. Ham had that experience last
week. The journal received clipping from
the New York Times containing notice of the
death of J. C. H am, with the further announce
ment that the services would be held Jan. 5th
at the Funeral Apartments, 304 West 10th
street. New York city. The notice was evil
IDENTIFY sent with the hAlief that the deceased
was DIR. Ham, and like notice was in the
New York Herald. Having occasion to note
very often the familiar names appearing in
distant exchanges we concluded to wait for
more definite information before writing an
obituary, and meanwhile had many enquiries
concerning the death. An obituary appeared
however in out of town papers and DR.. Ham
was in the city in person last Saturday to say
that he was not dead and he certainly seemed
very much alive. After giving up practice in
Belfast DR.. Ham was in New York for time,
but lattery has been engaged in numbering in
the vicinity of Thorndke
A WESTERN WEDDING. The Belfast friends
of Mrs. S. S. Lewis, formerly of this city,
now Mrs. H. M. Eddy of Orange, Calf, will
be interested in the following account of the
wedding of her daughter, Miss Julia, from a
California paper.
| AT the home of Mr.. and Mrs. H. M. Eddy in
! Orange in the suburbs of the city, will &C.
cur tonight the wedding of their daughter,
| Miss Julia Eddy to Andrew Mattel, Jr Only
| the immediate families will be in attendance.
Rev. Harvey Hanson will perform the cere-
mony, and it will be a Christmas wedding with
decorations of red holly berries, mistletoe and
festoons of balsam and oak. 1t will take place
at o'clock in the afternoon, under canopy
of smilax, with sprays of mountain fern and
unique little lanterns of red with panels Of
white, done in holly berries. After the cere-
mony refreshments will be served, and to those
who have been welcome guests at this subur-
ban home, it is needless to say that there will
| be some toothsome and delectable vlands. Inc
bride will wear tailored travelling gown of
f1ecked grey, this to be topped with a Scotch
turban, which gives jaunty effect, and sets
off the winsomeness of her sweet young face.
The trousseau is all that any bride might wish,
in the selection of which she has been advised
and assisted by that capable woman, Mrs.
Nellie johnson, sister of Mrs. Eddy. 1t
comprises dinner and reception gowns, and
clouds of dainty and fluffy afternoon slips,
with good wearable things for all seasons.
The wedding gifts are rich and varied, the
family of the bridegroom having sent costly
silver, cut glass and china, and both sides OF
the house have given beautifully of all the
equipments of household. The destination
of the bridal couple has not been divulged;
but it is thought that trip to some resort in
the South land, and coast voyage to San
Francisco, will bring them back in three weeks,
at which time their bungalow at Mattel Vista
will be completed to receive them: The bride
groom is the only son of Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew
Mattel of Fowler, and is known by his friends
as man of sterling worth, and he certainly
starts out with bright prospects. The bride
has been carefully reared in q home of cul-
ture and is possessed Of noble character OF
which any women might well be proud.
