Mr. Little was the pastor some years ago of the young couple whose nuptials we have tried to chronicle above, and in conversation with him on one occasion the bride remarked that she would get him to marry her if he was within reasonable distance when the time came, if it ever did Icome. The remark remained in her memory, and was acted on according-y 1y. Those who know the bride’s fathâ€"l er know what an honorable mattemf- fact man he is and we have no doubt the esteemed bride has inherited some of her father's honor. Allow us to tender our congratulations. The bride was the recipient of many valuable and beautiful presents and the cash contributions amounted to over one hundred dollars.

All went merry asa. marriage About fifty guests were present, im- mediate friends and relatives of the contracting parties. From a. distance there were some from Tara, Keady and North Dakota. The others were from Durham and the vicinity of the bride’s home. In the presence of these, the Rev. John Little. of Hols- tein, tied securely and solemnly the nuptial knot and pronounced them of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Campbell. of Aberdeen, when their daughter, Mar~ garet A., was united in holy wedlock to Mr. Donald Morrison,‘ of Dornoch. The drawingroom was nicely decorat- ed for the occasion and at the appoint- ed hour the groom and his attendant. Mr. George Campbell, the bride’s brother, took their places under a beautifully tastooned arch richly gar- landed with flowers and evergreens. To the strains of the wedding march, played by Miss Islay Campbell, daugh- ter of Inspector Campbell of this town, the bride entered the room on the arm of her father and took her place beside her chosen life partner. She was at- tended by Miss Carrie McKechnie, a warm and true friend of the bride, and an ardent admirer of her many virtues.

The above notice of the Liberal As- 1 sociation is the usual style of notice ' given for political meetings and we do . not think much of it.

If the Hon. Geo. P. Graham, the “ Leader of His Majesty’s loyal Opposition” has any- thing good to say the Conservatives would like to hear it, and if the prin- ciples he advocates are better than their own there may be some chance of making converts to Liberalism. The close communion conventions should be done away with, and every- body should be cordially welcome to attend the general spouting of a polit- ical association.

All questions on which there is an equality of votes shall be deemed to be negatived.’ SOUTH GREY LIBERAL ASTOCIA- TION “ We are afraid the Mayor of Dur- ham is not as well posted in the law as he might be. The head of a coun- cil has nomore right to two votes than any other member of the Council. How this idea of a double vote ever got abroad is hard to say, but it exists nevertheless, and the Mayor of Dur- ham has evidently heard of it and treasured it up as a thing not to be forgotten. A presiding officer can vote if he wants, but only once. The law on the subject is as follows: be remembered the vote stood 3 to 3 in favor of Mr. Bean’s appoint- ment including Mayor Calder’s vote. The Mayor then voted again to break the tie, an act about the legality of which we entertained grave doubts and quoted a section of the law which we thought covered the case in ques- tion and demonstrated the correctness of our view on the matter.
