Tho weddinii waa a perfectly quiet one, the happy young couple leaving per 4:40 train for thoirnew home at Oxford House Kewatin District, where Mr. Stevens has just been stationed. The bride will be much missed in our village and community and especially in the Methodist church where she U>ok a prominent part in Sun- day Schoid work and the choir. She is a pleasing and {xjpular vocalist and in last Sunday evenin'.;'8 service rendered a solo 'â-  Home at Last," which was very touch- ing and brou-.;ht the moisture to many an eye.

Good Roads A. M. Campbell, Provincial road instruc- tor, says that in Ontario there were expend- ed on roads each year ovsr a millioa hours statute labor, and three and a half milliun dollars iu money, an expenditure he olaim- ed, if properly utiiizeU, that rould be suffi'jient in ten years to macadamize every mile of road in the Province. Iu order to obtain tae b-!st results it. was iaJispen.nSlo tnst a proper system cf road coasiruclioQ be d.;ci<ied upoo aud fa.thiuliy cariied out. Tho councd of each muEicipality shocli be hehl responsible for the coodiiioa of the ruals, llie initiation and carrying out of tr.e plana lor their improvement, and the selectioD of competent road overseers to â- uperinieiid and direct operations. The council shoull also tix the gra<ie to be '»!- lowed, determiDu the class oi mttter al to be useii, an 1 the widtn tint (Japth of the same to be laid down on tl.e variuiis classes of roads. He clasBiJiei the roads under three divisions. Fi'"st, leading road?. For these he would recnuimuud a gra<l« oi iweu'y-fcnr feet for grade. Second, ueii;li- borhood or Itreding r> ads. For these he would recoiumend a siia.le of iwecty feet w'do ; aua tuird, divi-ini roads, used only by a few farms. Fir these a ^rade of eighteen fuet wide noiiid be sutBo.eiit. These should bu crown' d by a liso o( one inch ill tlio foDt. Where necessary, tne drains should be placed in lbs bottom i-f the ditches. On tne leaJi:ig roads a wi.ith OI eight f>iet and depth m 12 inches < f goot gravel ahoiibl be spread unJ thoroU(,'lily compacted by th" u^e of a roller. Waeu no roller is avsilabie, tiis gravel shouhi be kept well rak-d up until thoroughly com- pacted by pasting wheel-. For ueIgiibori:i« reads a width of seven feet aud a depth of ten inoiies of good L'ravil woii;d be •uflicieut. Any gravel containing a larxe percentage of "soil sh.iu'.d be lejtcttd. It was wisiioin to use only clean hard mater al. Whatever was done should be done with a view to durability. Finid stone broken to a cube of about two iiiebes made a mo^t durable material. A depth of ten lociiss l!iorou(:hly conipacted nude aroad pipial atiuiisi to one of solid stone. No n ad te t siiould be less than from three to live m;les in length.
