ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO Orange Blossoms. | A very pleasing event took p‘l'uce at the home of Mr. Robt. Lindsay, Vickers on Wednesday, December 23, at four o‘clock p. m. when his daughter Nellie was married to Mr Arthur Hunt of the same place. Th: ceremony was perform â€". ed by Rev.

Huant of Durham supported the groom through the trying ordeal. After the ceremony the company reâ€" | paired to the dining room where the taâ€" | bles were beautifully lard and decorated | with roses and carnations. The presents were numerous and useâ€" ful among them being two substantial cheques. â€" The groom‘s gift to the bride was a handsome furcoat and to the bridesmaid an emerald brooch, The Kmmg couple are highly esteemed and ave the good wishes of the whole neighborhood. The RevIiEw also exâ€" t ends felicitations, On Thursday evening last about 8 pâ€" 10. in the presence of the immediate relatives of thecontracting parties, Rev.

A sumptuous dinner was afterwards parâ€" taken of, the table being graced by a handsome 4â€"storey wedding cake, the work of the bride. _ The happy couple anud many felicitations left by morning train for Dundas, the groom‘s home, where a large and cordial reception awnaited them. and after spending 3 or 4 pleasant da{s there, are Lmne again for a week bofore leayving for Mich. Friends from a distance were Mrs Ball, Sr., and son Richard, Misses Barber and McNeil, Alton, cousins of the bride. The bride will be imuch missed in Bapâ€" tist Church circles, where by her mus‘â€" cal and other abilities she has rendered valuable service. She will bemissed too from the social circles of the town, and all who know this popular young lady will heartily extemf(szood wishes for the future. _ She was a valued employe in the REviEw office for nearly three years and amongst the many good wishâ€" es extended to ber and her husband not the least nre those of her old employer, Mr Ball is an intelligent young man, a capable citizen and worthy of his bride, The bride was the recipient of many useful, beautiful and valuable presents both in Durham and Dandas. We are pleased to receive the follow ing communication recording the mar riage of Mr. Geo, W‘ Ledingham, of 8. African fame,. The shafts of little Cu pid nave reached a spot untouched by the bullets of the Boer, and the Review and his many friends extend hearty congratulations:â€" "A very pretty wedding was sclemnâ€" ized at the home of the bride‘s parents, Mr.and Mrs. Jas. Reavely of Chesley on Xmas Day when their youngest daughâ€" ter, Miss Helen M., was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Mr. George W,. Ledingham, Vancouver, B. C. The invitéd friends were present at the apâ€" pointed hour 11.30 a, m. In keeping with tne happy occasion the drawing room was suitably decorated, As Miss Ethel McNeel played the wedding march the bride entered leaning upon the arm of her father and joined the groom unâ€" der a massive crown of genuine Christâ€" mas holiy, _ Masters Reavely and Iyan and Miss Margares Savage, nephews and neice of the bride were devyoted atâ€" tendants in their respective spheres, The vows taken, the ceremony over and hearty congratulations â€"tendered the company sat down to a sumptuous repast. _ Many good wishes will follow the young couple when in a few weeks they leaye for their Western home. The result of the longâ€"deferred byeâ€" election beld last Saturday was a slashing deteat for the government candidate by a majority of about 600. Munro, the late Liberal member had a majority of 459, and this turn over of 10Uu0 votes is calculated to giye and has given food for thought to the Libâ€" eral party. That local influences had something to do with it may be claimed, for Dunâ€" lop, the victor, has been longer in the field, is a more taking personality, and bad with him Robt. Birmingbam, an old ‘and astute organizer. â€" But this does not explain all. _ Without doubt the result was influenced by the long delay, especialiy in not hbolding it at the same time as Muskoka and Sault Ste. Marie, and by the Gamey influâ€" ence. â€" Mr. Stratton was illâ€"advised not to meet his accuser on the public platâ€" form Nomination Day or any day and give him the lic to his face. The yvictory can scarcely be called a Whitney victory for he has sunk out of sight, and it is this feature of the sibaâ€" tion that makes a change of governâ€" ment suost undesirable, for surely Gaâ€" meyism predominant and trinmphant in the councils of the Conservative parâ€" ty is desired by few. ‘The able administration ef the Proâ€" vince in every department received scant attention, and Hon. G. W. Ross must continue his work even with the narrow majority of three, certainly & better position than a minority of three. A SLIDE IN NORTH RKENFREW. Cupid‘s Doings.
