Wedding Bells We have this week the pleasant duty of announcing the marriage of Dr. Leitch - son of our much respected townsman, Mr. Thos Leitch - to Miss Jennie, daughter of Rev. D. C. McDowell, President of the Guelph Conference of the Methodist Church. The happy event took place at the residence of the bride's father, Winghern, on Wednesday of last week, the 6th inst. The young couple have the very best wishes of the Agricultural Editor and a host of friends in this section. Death of Mr. Alfred Down Another esteemed and respected resident of Artemesia has passed away to 'that bourne from whence no traveller e'er returns." We refer to the death, on Saturday last, 9th inst, of Mr. Alfred Downs, ar. His death was not unexpected, as he was full of years, and for some years the infirmities of old age had been undermining his otherwise vigorous constitution. The funeral took place on Tuesday, when the remains were interred in the Flesherton cemetery. The cortege was one of the largest which has ever passed through this place. The funeral sermon will be preached in the Methodist church here, next Sunday evening, by the Rev. Mr. Ayers. Deceased was a faithful, earnest, and consistent member of the Methodist church, and when at all possible, was always to be found in his place in th various services in connection with the church of his adoption. he was a member of the class of Mr. Wm. Rutledge, Sr. He was a good old man in the very highest and noblest acceptation of that term and leaves behind him the bright and shining reflection of a well spent life. A large and respectable circle of relatives mourn his removal from their midst. He died a true Christian. Another Happy Event Yesterday afternoon another young couple were made happy by the Rev. Mr. Ayers, who performed the marriage ceremony which united in the holy bonds of matrimony Miss Alice Bellamy - on of Flesherton's fairest and most amiable daughters - to Mr. William Sharp, on of Artemesia's sturdiest and best looking young men. The young couple, as might naturally be expected, looked their very best. The Agricultural Editor extends his heartiest congratulations and is only voicing the sentiment of a host of admiring friends, in wishing the happily mated young couple a prosperous and happy married life. We regret to learn of the death of Mr. James E. Sloan - son of Mr. J. B. Sloan, of Eugenia. The sad event occurred on Tuesday last. B.
