MAR RIAGE BELLS,

A very interesting event took place at

| the residence of Mra. Margaret McKenzie,

of Cavendish, on the J5th inst., when the marriage of ser voungest daughter Matilda, to William A. Hou-ton, of North Rustico, was celebrated. The bride, who was given away by ber brother, Theophilus McKenzie was attired in a dress of cream cashmere with chiffon and satin trimmings, and carried an elaborate boquet. She was

| attended by her niece, Miss Lilla MeLure,

of Dundas, who wore a pretty dress of pale blue cashmere with trimmings to metch. The groom ably supported by Mr. Frank Churchill, one of Charlotte town's most popular young men.

Although the weather proved rather unfavorable the house was filled with guest+, and the tables gruaned under the weight of good things. The house was tastefully decorated with spruce in honor of the occasion, and judging by the many valuable presents both parties are held in high estimation not only by their many country friends but also by those who drove all the way from Charlottetown to witpess the ceremony. The officiating clergyman was the Rev. Mr. Robertson, of Cavendish. Turk Examines joins ia ihe congratu’ations .

Mr. Bernard Bushman, a well-known St. Lows electrician, and Miss Annie Macpberson, eldest daughter of the late Alexander Macphersoc, of Charlottetown, were united in marriage at Chicago on Thankegiving eve. The wedding took place at Sc. Elizabeth’s Church, from the residence of the bride’s cousin, Mrs. J. E. McLesp. Miss Emma Stacy, of St. Louis, attended the bride, and the groom was supported by Mr. Byron Reid, of Chicago. Mr. Bush'nan, according to a St. Louis pape’, has furnished a coty home at 1225 North Ninth Street for his bride, where they were to be at home afier December 10th. The best wishes of hosts of friends go out to Mr. aod Mrs. Bushman.

BNGLISH SOCIAL CUSTOMS.

At the Christmas dinner of the new Vagabonds Club, on Friday, Rear Ad - miral Lord Charles Beresford was the guest of the eveniug. He created quite astir by his plain speaking oo evcial questions, ‘Money’ be declared, ‘is pow Any vulgarian of whatever nationality, whether he has gain- ed money honorably or disgracefally, could buy his way among those who are described as “the bestand proudest in the land,” ifthey worship the golden ealf. Our old empire will soon be going dewn grade when aman, in the so-called “best society” commits a dishonorable act and “socicty” bands together to sc een him in- stead ef hanging hiw to the first tree.’

The popular Rear Admiral al-o urged a return te the old ‘love of chivalry and patrotiem, and abhorrence of everything sordid and seliish,’

The Vagabond were at first aghast at this plain speaking, but the subsequent cheers showed that outepoken truths are not altogether unpalatable.
