A Berwick Wedding:

An interesting event took place on Wednesday afternoon of last week, when Miss Lalia Porter, of Berwick, was united in marriage to Mr. Arth. W. Borden of Windermere. The ceremony was performed in the Baptist church by the Rev. D. H. Simpson, and was witnessed by a large number of interested friends and acquaintances.

Messrs. Charles Bentley and Melbourne Parker acted as ushers. The bride looked charming in a travelling costume of blue serge, with hat to match, trimmed with white chiffon and white wings.

After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Borden left for a driving tour, and will visit points of interest in Lunenburg county before returning to take up their residence in Windermere. They will be at home to their friends on the two first Tuesdays of July - the 6^th and 13^th.

Accident:

Rev. D. H. Simpson met with a severe and painful accident on Friday afternoon last. While at work on his farm at Rockland he was kicked by his horse, sustaining a severe compound fracture of the bones of the right leg, just below the knee. The leg was also badly cut and bruised, the injuries being extremely painful. Mr. Simpson was at one conveyed to his home and medical assistance procured, and we are glad to know that he is progressing favorably. His pulpit was supplied on Sunday morning by the Rev. J. B. Morgan and in the evening by the Rev. Mr. Young.

Harborville:

On Saturday, June 11^th, Capt. J. Chute in his schooner "Dreadnaught," gave the day school and Endeavor a sail across the bay. We left the wharf here at 4.30 a.m., and at 8.30 we anchored off Spencer's. The sail across was delightful. After partaking of a picnic dinner on the deck of the schooner, the Capt. put us ashore in boats. We spent the day very pleasantly wandering around, looking at the various points of interest on the mainland and at three o'clock were ready for the return trip. We arrived in Harborville about eight o'clock that night, a tired but happy crowd. After giving three rousing cheers for Capt. Chute and many thanks to him for his kindness, we departed to our homes carrying with us the memory of a very happy day.

There will be an opportunity given to those who wish to attend the Orangeman's Parade at Margaretville, July 12^th, to go from here as Capt. Chute intends to have an excursion from here to Margaretville that day.

There was a small picnic here on Friday last from Grafton and vicinity, and a large one on Saturday from Billtown, Lakeville and Woodville. Capt. J. Morris gave the picnickers a sail in his yacht.

Capt. Alex Parks and wife, of Port George, visited friends here recently.

Mr. Jas. Northup was in town on Saturday.

Fairview:

A very pretty wedding took place at the residence of Mr. Edward Howell on the 15^th, when Jason Graves, of Hillfoot farm, was united to Miss Blanche Howell, who returned from Massachusetts a short time ago. A few friends witnessed the ceremony. The boys, of course, gave them a salute and were duly invited in and treated. After spending some time socially, the guests departed, wishing the happy couple a long and prosperous life.

Mr. William MacAulay, who has been in poor health for some time, had his five sons at home for a week, recently. Messrs. W. C. and Franklin left for Danvers, Mass., on the 16^th, accompanied by their brother Eustace while Charles and Harry remain at home to work the farm.

Charles McAuley is confined to his bed with rheumatic fever.

Chipman Brook:

T. L. Kirby took four barrels lobsters to Waterville en route to Boston on Monday, June 13^th.

Quite a number have been here fishing lately and have had pretty good success. One cod fish caught by Joseph Misner measured five feet and weighed seventy five lbs., the largest ever caught or seen in Chipman Brook.

Since the wind has begun blowing it has put a stop to fishing of all kinds except in the weirs and there are very few caught in them, lately.

Messrs. J. L. Kirby and J. Foote are the owners of colts, which horsemen say are among the best in the county.

MRS. WEALTHY PORTER, widow of the late Benjamin Porter, of Woodville, died at the residence of her son, Mr. Maynard Porter, on Monday of last week.

SIXTEEN BEAUTIFUL YEARS. - Miss Carrie Douglass, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Colin Douglass, passed away at their home, South Berwick, on Tuesday, May 31^st. Though called away at the early age of sixteen, Carrie had won many friends by her gentle, quiet and loving disposition. She was an especial favorite in the School and in the home. She is gone, but it will be a long time before the influence of her beautiful life will be forgotten. Much sympathy is felt for Mr. and Mrs. Douglass in this their first bereavement. COM.
