Our boys would knock the stuffing out of them and they know it." We think that the rule in sport- ing circles is for a team to follow the chal- lenge.

The event was the marriage of Mr. Ashford Wright, of this village, to Miss Maggie. second daughter of the late John McCague. Mr Wright is lo be congratulated on his good choice. He has not only secured a beautiful woman, but one whose life in the past proves that she is in possession of those rare qualities only found in true woman- hood. Shewill begreatly missed by all ‘in the neighborhood from which she comes and where she is a general favorite. and by the church in which she was an earnest worship- per and an active Worker, but she will re- ceive a cordial welcome here, not only be- cause of her \vorth.’but because of the high esteem in which Mr. Wright is held. Ash- !ord, as he is commonly called,:is a young man of sterling moral character and loft) christian manhood and so is loved by all, which makes this event of general interest. The ceremony wasperformed by Rev. Geo. MoOulloch, the new superintendent. At lhe hour appointed the groom, attended by his brother, James, look his place in front of the assembled guests and awaited thcobjec: of his fonds-t dreams. Shortly after she appeared supported on the arm of her brother and at- tended by Miss Annie Comisky and a charm- :ing little maid of honor. She appeared a little flushed at first. but other than this was perfectly calm and lover in her bridal dress. The groom appeared a trifle nervous at first but made his responses in a clear happy voice. After the ceremony the happy company sat down to a sumptuous repast which seemed to be thoroughly enjoyed by all. The presents were numerous and costly, evincing the high regard in which both are held. After an hour or so of social chat and good cheer the happy conple left to take the train for Toronto with a plentiful supply of old boots and amid showers of rice, loilowed bv the good wishes of a large circle of friends. ’they will visit interesting points in the eastern part of the province.
