IS an interview with Mr. Thos. Jackson, of Clinton, we learned his pleasure with the progress of Durham during the past two years. The furniture factory, he regards as a great boon but says it isn’t half big enough to supply the demand we are sure to have. He makes an unquali- fied prediction that inside of three years the capacity will be doubled. and we have little doubt as to the fulfilment of his prediction, or the necessity therefor. An interesring event took place on l Wednesday last at the residence of“ Mr. Edward Fee. of Normanby, when I his eldest daughter Miss Martha was} united in marriage to Mr. Wm. Mc-l‘ Calmon. of Dornoch. Rev. Mal ' Sharp was the oficiating clergyman fl and in the orthodox fashion proposed ;( the usual queStions and pronounced" them man and wife. The groom; was assisted in the trying momentil by Mr. Arch. Ledineham while the U a \ duties of bridesmaid were efficently ‘1 and gracefully performed by Miss Lizzie Pee. sister of the bride. The ‘ bride was most charmingly attired} in a gown of blue prplin, trimmed?! ‘with white satin, silk ribbon and! lace and wore in her hair the beauti- ful lily of the valley. The ceremony ‘ was performed under an arch of ever . greens and wax berries in the presâ€"ll ence of about eighty invited gueS's: who were delighted with the cheer-l ing strains of the Wedding March1 which was played by Miss Sharp. The popularity of the bride was, attested by a large list of valuable: and useful presents as shown below. Allow us to offer our congratulations. PRESENTS.
