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.

A naturally sweet disposition improved and carried God-ward by gracious experiences made her life pleasant to herself and won the love of her companions; so that when death came many of them were ready to manifest sorrow though they had known her but a short time.

The fine residence _certainly the finest in Glassville _lately put up by Mr. David Lamont, our enterprising blacksmith, is being rapidly finished by another crack tradesman, Mr. Joseph Lee of Beaufort, a first class framer and joiner, without a wrinkle. Mr. Lamont's house will be an orament to the village. The proprietor has now been in business here for some time; and from the manner in which he has conducted his business, always meeting his obligations with promptitude, while giving the greatest satisfaction to his employers, he has won the confidence and secured the patronage of all. Go on, young man. May your bow abide in strength and your cup overflow. Above all, let us soon have that expected house warming, when we hope to welcome " an addition to the family " _not in the popular sense, be it observed _ but in the shape of a full grown, finely developed, and beautifully formed daughter of Eve. Again we say, may your bow abide in strenth, and your cup to overflow.

I am informed that certain parties distinguished for their lawless proclivities and sneaking treacherous acts, vowed that if the law went against one of their clan Mr. Benn would not reach home the night of the trial without two black eyes instead of one.

It is always gratifying to notice the triumphs of genuis, especially in those mechanical arts, which relate to the comforts of life. Mr. Olive Hemphill, Esq., a young gentlemen as distinguished for his great inventive power, as for his success as an agriculturist, has just succeeded in turning out a patent bootjack, with no other tools than an axe and jack-knife, adapted for every description of boot, shoe, slipper, dancing pump, larigan, shoepack and moccasin__male or female__of any size__ wet or dry. The ease, with which such can be removed in a twinkling from the pedal extremities of one's corporal frame is truly astonishing. Everyone testifies to the inestimable value of the priceless boon which our friend has conferred on suffering humanity. The jack is as remarkable for the simplicity of its construction, as for its efficiency. There are no awkward handles to hang on by __no slewing pirot to balance yourself on __no chair attachment to study yourself in, but a simple jack and nothing more. All you have to do is to place the heel of your boot, etc., in the crotch, and in a moment you are free from every encumbrance, sock, drawers, pants and all.
