Under an arch of evergreens be- decked with beautiful flowers, on the lawn of Mr. G. Black, on Wednesday, September 9th, was performed a pretty wedding ceremony. the mar- riage of Miss Jennie S. Hargrave, of Swinton Park. to Mr. Jas. M. Allan, of Egremont. Miss Maggie G. Allan played sweetly the wedding march and the Rev. Mr. Matheson, of Price- ville, tied firmly the marriage knot in the presence of about two hundred invited guests. Miss Mary A. Bar grave, cousin of the bride, and Mr. Robert Reid performed the pleasant duties of assisting the happy couple through the ordeal. The bride looked even more handsome than is her want to do in a dress of white organ- die trimmed valenciennes lace and insertion. with bridal veil, while the bridesmaid looked pretty in her gown of white muslin trimmed with blue ribbon. Both carried in their hands pink and white dalilia. Then all re- paired to the dining-room of the spacious stone house where tables were loaded with everything tempt- ing to the pallate and decorated with sweet peas and asparagus ferns. The wedding cake was such as can only be prepared by depths in confection- ary, and was one of the grandest the company ever partook of. The en- joyment of the evening consisted chiefly of dancing, the String Band of the Haw Bros. furnishing the mus- ic. The presents were very costly ones, numerous handsome and useful. The brides travelling dress was a very handsome one of brown camel cloth with white satin blouse and hat quite in keeping with it. The best of good wishes. not only of those assembled but also their many friends go with them. MacFARLANM 00. Remnants at half price. Fix up your rooms now if price is any inducement.

This is the law respecting the poundage or taking up of stray animals: In case the animal is a horse, bull, ox, cow sheep, goat. pig, or other cattle, if discained by a resi- dent, instead of delivering the same to the pound keepers, he may retain said animal in his own possession, provided he makes no claim for dam- age but notice in writing must be forthwith given to the owner, if known; and then, if not known. no- tice shall be given within 48 hours to the township clerk, together with adescription of the color, age and natural and artificial marks on said animal. If the animal or animals be worth $10. or more, the distrainer shall advertise the same for 3 weeks in a county paper. One month after being taken up, the distrainer shall advertise and sell same animalâ€"â€" three days notice of sale to he first given. Out of the proceeds he is authorized to pay for the advertising necessary care and trouble, and for food for animals. Balance, if any, if not claimed by owner within three months, must be paid to township treasurer for local municipal pur- poses. Another ridiculous food fad has been branded by the most competent authorities. They have dispelled the silly notion that one kind of food is needed for brain. another for muscles, and still another for bones. A correct diet will not only nourish a particular part of the body, but it will sustain every other part. Yet, however good your food may be, its nutriment is destroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia. You must prepare for their appearance or prevent their coming by taking regular doses of Green’s August flower, the favorite medicine of the healthy millions. A few doses aids digestion. stimulates the liver to healthy action. purifies the blood, and makes you feel buoy- ant and Vigorous. You can get this reliable remedy at Darling’s Drug Store. tf. A pitiful accident, which 1s not without its malicious features, occur-1 red on Saturday afternoon on Bay street. opposite the National Table, factory. Ernest Webb. ayoung man , of probably twenty-three years of7 age, who lives in Brooke, was wheel- ‘ ing towards Leith in company with. George Doherty, a friend who had recently come up from Toronto to? work in this town. As they wheeled along they noticed some youths on the t0p of the rock. One of them shouted something that Doherty un derStood to be, “ Watch me pink that? fellow on this side,” and then with . an oath hurled a stone with his left hand, which struck Webb square on the right eye, smashing the optic hopelessly, The young men, as they i saw Webb fall, became frightened? and ran back out of sight. Webbr was taken to Dr. Lang’s surgery f where he showed rare pluck while. the injury was being dressed. When , the bandages were removed by the? doctor on Monday the young man‘I could see but faintly with the left; eye, and it is feared that it may go. blind in sympathy with the other. '- The young man’s eyesight was notj strong before the injury was received. f having been weak since an accidenti four years ago. The part of the affair ’ which arouses indignation is that the stone was thrown deliberately by one of a party of four young men who had been doing away with the con- tents of a keg of beeron the top of the rock. The police secured inforé mation which seems to point conclus- ively to Charles McCrae as the per- petrator of the deed.; The police searched all Saturday night and Sun- day for their man. On Sunday afternoon they chased him and would have winged him with their revolvers but refrained from shooting because of the proximity of a couple of houses whose inmates might be endangered. . The police wired in every direction, { and on Monday morning received a} telegram from Chatsworth stating that the fugitives. which included McCrae and a couple of other young l men whose characters had been pre-! viously unblemished by contact with the law. The fugitives were camping in a bush near Chatsworth depot. and l P. C.’s Shute and Frizzell drove out i at once. With the assistance of a, Chatsworth constable they were sur- j rounded. P. C. Shute removed his; shoes so that he could give them ai run if necessary. and then broke into‘ the copse of trees where they were' hiding. McCrae suggested that the trio put 'up a fight, but the other boys refused to respond. Two of them were quickly --ha-nde‘ued together and 1with the other held tightly with his right hand he emerged with the three i Young men. There was evidence in the pms‘sioa cf the crown to show that McRae was the one especialql . wanted and on Tuesday the other two were released, to appear if want- ed next Tuesday. McCrae elected to be tried by jury and was sent to gaol on a week’s remand. - Ameeting of the farmers of this Riding is proposed to be held at. the Town Hall, in Durham, on the 30th. at 7:50 p. m., for the purpose of or- ganizing a Farmers Association.

A warrant was sworn out for his arrest.â€"â€"Wroxeter 5 Star The Directors of the Cemetery have completed at very considerable ex- pense the water works at the ceme- tery, and opened hydrants there and in the park for the accomodation of the public. They propose building an ornamental rockery, and for this purpose will require a large number of stones, and in this work they ask the co operation of all persons in- terested in the cemetery. Should anyone have in his possession any odd stones of 50 pound weight and upwards, the Directors will take it as a kindness if these stones are de- livered in Durham at Robert Coch- rane’s warehouse, or at the cemetery before the let of October.
