W. Clayton Pres., J. E. Monro Sec. A very pleasant event t(«>k place a', the robidi nee of .Mr. Hickliiig on theSih line, Artcniesi.i, on Tuesday the 11th inst , when his youngest daughter, Miss Maria liicl<lii'g, and the Rev. H. J. Condell of St. Mary's, Maxwell, weie united in the silken bondnof matrimony The ceremony took place lit .'i p. m. and was imprei'.sive- ly conducted by the R. v. .1. W. Jones of Tara. and witnessed by a larize number of friends. The brida was becomingly dressed in a costume of wliiro brilliintine and lace. Her bister, Mi.ss E. Hickliiu, actid ivs tiridesinaid, while the groom's support was .Wr. Uy. Owen of Maxwell. .\fter iiuniorous sjood wi.slna had been ex- pressed and a dainty repast pai taken of the hiid-il couple left for O.veii Sound, whence thoy will go to visit friends in Bruce Comity. A iiuincroii.s collection .if very beautiful and vidiiiblo pnsents lire ineini'Utooa of the occasion.â€" Com. A Red Wing correspondent of the Clarksburg Refieetor, in npoiting areco it concert held at i^Ia.^well, ban the following g lid wods to say of Miss Annie Richard- son of this place : " The lo^Ie star was to hoar Miss Richards n. of iBSeshortop, en- tertain an audience. Mr. Hichnrdson was called to the chair and oxhibiteil his good sense by not hohling the audience for any time but called on the choir for the open ing selection. The choir respoijded, and if they would allow a small pieco of friendly advice I would sny get 011 a little more energy at. d sing with a spirit of life and uot. Miss Hichsrd.son was called on for her first number and, tn use a slang phrase, it was out of sitdit. Hersostures aie not assumed, but]|iiatura I and angelic ; her voice is full and sweot and shaappears to have it under perfect control. Ne d- Itjsa to pay she was cnsored repeatedly. Wt trnderstand tli« has recited tefure the elite of London, Eitgland, and re- oeived the higlust lecomuiend from the pres. No better in the world to pro- duce ucnius than the C<iunty of Grey. We bespenk for her an unbounded sue- c ss in her profussii n. It is rumored that she parpiises uoing back to Enghiud i.i t!ie near future but when she becomes kn iwn to the Canadian pulilic. it is to be hoi>:d she will change her mind.
