Plummer - Gardener
A very happy event occurred at Waterville on the evening of the
21st of December. When Harry Woodford Plummer, was united in holy wedlock to Miss Idella Marion Gardener. The ceremony was performed by
Rev. John Dystant. The Methodist church was tastefully decorated
and a splendid display of plants added to the beauty of the scene.
The bride was escorted to the alter by her father, J. M. Gardener Esq. The wedding garment was of
white cashmere, with beautiful bridal veil, and the bride looked
charming as she stepped to the side of the bridegroom.
The impressive ritual of the Methodist church was read, and the
nuptials performed amid the soft strains of the organ presided
over by Mrs. Brewer of Woodstock, and as the young couple left
the alter the wedding march was rendered in fine style.
A large congregation graced the occasion, and the guests repaired
to the residence of the bride's parents where a sumptuous repast
awaited them, between seventy and eighty were present and a most
enjoyable evening was spent. There was a fine array of wedding
presents, and everybody felt to say, we wish you bon voyage
across the sea. The ushers were Alexander Shaw and Frank Hendia arranged everything
magnificantly.
Mr. and Mrs. Plummer will reside at Waterville during the winter,
and go to their new home in Aroostook Maine in the spring.

Howard White
It is about seven months ago that the many friends of Howard B. White, of Centreville, were pained to
hear that he had been stricken with paralysis; and daily enquiry
was made, inspired by the hope that symptoms of recovery would be
reported. But no promises of recovery were forthcoming. He grew
worse rather than better, and he was called to suffer through
months of weary, painful illness. Other diseases assisted to
deprive him of sight and strength; and he bore the gradual
wasting away and suffering without a murmur; till on Wednesday
last death terminated the struggle. His christian faith sustained
him through all.
He was a member of the Free Baptist church at Tracey Mills. The
funeral took place Friday afternoon, and was largely attended by
friends from all parts of the county. The body was interred in
the family lot in the Episcopal cemetery at Centreville.
Howard B.
was the eldest son of G. W. White, of Centreville; he was in the
59th year of his age; and leaves a wife and two sons. He was a
man of broad opinions, generous impulses, and tender affections.
He possessed good business ability, and would have been more
successful in this respect if he had been less kind hearted and
generous. Many more than his immediate relatives will keenly
regret his departure in the midst of life, and his many good
qualities and kind deeds will continue to live fresh in the
memory of his numerous friends.

IN THE
POLICE COURT
Fined for Cruelty to Animals.
Albert
Brown and David Raymond were before the police
magistrate, Friday and Saturday, charged with illtreating swine.
The charge was made by Mr. Colpitts, agent for the society for
prevention of cruelty to animals. The charge is incident to the
manner in which slaughter houses are conducted, and in which
swine are kept in connection therewith.
Mr. Colpitts testified to the location and condition of the
slaughter house, and the number of hogs kept there, which was 10
or 11. He was there Monday, the coldest day of the season. The
pen in which the pigs were kept was only rough boarded, and the
doors were open. There was no straw nor bedding to protect them
from the cold. No evidence of any feed except the bones of cattle
and the skeleton of a horse. The larger pigs tried to get some of
the horse and drove the little ones away. The yard was very
filthy. There were three dead pigs in the yard, which had
apparently died from exposure and starvation.
The defence was that the pigs were well cared for, and in the
usual manner customary among butchers. They claimed that they
were supplied with sufficient offal for feed, and sufficient
straw for bedding.
Judge Dibblee reviewed the evidence and said he felt it his duty
to the dumb animals to make it plain to the butchers that they
cannot be allowed to treat dumb animals as they like. He had been
informed that the slaughter houses are kept in such a bad
condition that cattle can only be got into them with great
difficulty, and sometimes the animals tails are twisted till the
joints are cracked, and that they are dogged and beaten
unmercifully. He said he would instruct all peace officers of the
town if they hear of any such cases, to lay the information
before him and he would see that proper authority should be
exercised, and the law enforced for the protection of the animals.
He believed that a light fine in this case would accomplish just
as much as a heavy one, and he would therefore put the fine at $2.00
and costs.
A. B. Connell was counsel for the prosecution, and F. B. Carvell
for the defence.

ROTARY MILL
Connell Bros., whose manufactures have received widespread
notoriety have, recently completed for W. C. Purvis, Carleton, St. John, a rotary
mill of more than ordinary merit. The chief distinguishing
feature between this and the ordinary rotary is that it has a
rope feed instead of a rack and pinion. The advantages of this
feed being a saving in wear of machinery, and that it cuts lumber
truer and smoother. It is also supplied with four patent champion
set dogs, by which a crooked log or piece of timber may be held
steadily and firmly in place till it is all sawed up. It will
take on a log fifty feet long. The carriage is made of southern
pine. The arbor is of hammered steel with solid collar. This is
the second mill of the kind built by this firm this winter; the
other being now in operation in Sawyer's Mill. Besides these mills, this firm
have in the last three months built seven shingle machines, one
of which was for a firm in Quebec. They have also built a steam
engine, which is now in use in their machine shop, besides doing
their usual amount of other work. They are including mowing
machines in their manufactures this year, of the celebrated Congo
pattern. The fact that a St. John millnian should come to
Woodstock for his machinery speaks more highly than anything else
could for the enterprise of the firm that he is patronizing.

OBITUARY
Mrs. Eulia
Brewer,
wife of Alonzo
G. Brewer,
died in Brookline, Wednesday, Mar. 11, aged 30 years and 10
months. She was the daughter of
Zebulon and Mary Ann Birmingham, and was born in Victoria
Corner New Brunswick, in May 1860. From early childhood she was
religiously inclined, and at age 15 years made public profession
of religion, and engaged in the active duties of the Christian
life. Married, at the early age of 17, she met with womanly
judgement the responsibilities of the conjugal relation. Though
modest and retiring she won the favor of acquaintances and made
lasting friendships. Her religious experience was clear and
assuring, characterized by steady confidence rather than
joyousness. She was devoted to her family, and to the church,
generous to the poor, and abundant in unselfish labors for those
needing her aid. Many, stimulated by example to consistent
living, will long remember her unblemished life.
Her health became impaired about two years ago, and for months
constantly declined, till, in the early spring of 90, she left
Brookline to seek restoration in the place of her nativity.
Familiar scenes and the greeting of friends ever dear, seemed for
a time to give renewed strength, but the insidious foe did not
relinguish his grasp. In cloud and sunshine, relentless
consumption was doing its fatal work. Soon after her return to
Brookline, last autumn, she showed encouraging signs of returning
vitality, but these were illusive. A stern battle for life was
waged from that time till her decease.
At times her suffering was severe, but her patience was equal to
the intensity of the struggle. She endured without a murmur. In
all the trying contest she expressed strong confidence in the
Lord, and showed a Christian spirit of surrender to his will. Her
light and joy increased as the final hour approached, and just
before her departure she expressed unusual animation and joy as
in the presence of the glorious Saviour.
