Christian Enders, an enterprising and intelligent young farmer of the Buffalo neighborhood, of highly respected fam ily. The marriage ceremony was performed by Elder I. N. Miller, of South Bend, in the presence of several invited guests. After the usual congratulations, the party sat around a table loaded with about all the good thiilgs the season afforded. We wish the young couple a long life of joy and happiness. Ou last Sunday at the hour of high noon another wedding took place at about two miles south of LaPaz. The Contracting parties were Ed war.] G. Wilch, son of Mr. Peter Wilch, a re spectable young farmer, and Miss Nellie M. Whitiuger, the handsome and intelligent daughter of Mr, John Whitiuger. The nuptial knot was tied in the presence of a goodly number of relatives of both parties by Jacob Rothenberger. After the usual congratulations the young people and assembled guests sat down to a siimtuous repast, which would have done honor to a prince. We wish the young couple a long and happy life and financial prosperity. Mrs. Woodcock, reported sick with consumption last week, died on Thursday, Dec. 27. Her age was 26 years, 2 mouths and 9 days. The funeral was preached on the following Saturday at 10 a. m. by the Rev. R. Z Brown to a large and sympathetic audience. After tho services the remains were taken to the Fair cemetery fer interment. She was a lady of good Christian character, a member of the U. B. church, and gave good evidence that she was prepared to meet her God. She leaves an affectionate husband and a daughter about four years old to mourn the loss of an affectionate wife and mother, al so a mother and numerous other rela- . tives and friends, nearly all of whom 1 live at a distance. The family moved ' here from Fulton Co. about six weeks * ago. i Elder T. N.

F. 8. NORTH DAKOTA. Cando, N. D., Dec. 81. *94. Ed Independent: I agnin ask for space in your paper to inform the many enquirers about the winter in North Dakota. We have had as fine a winter so far as any person could ask for. We have hail some pretty cold weather, but we don’t seem to feel the cold here as bad hh we did in the east. We had a very nice fall. I plowed 115 acres after I got done threshing; plowed every day until the 6th of November, wheu I finished »b.> work. I heard from Indiana, that every thing was snowed under and froze up here tho first of October, bn’ that was a grand mistake. We did have some cold rain and a little snow the first of October, but not enough snow to cover the ground. It froze up November 10 and has remained frozen ever since. November 20 we got our first snow, that is, snow enough to track ambit. Only about six inches of snow fell. There has been no snow since to amount to anything. About November 25 we had a cold spell for a few days, the mercury full ing as low as 22 degrees below zero. I was hauling wood at that time. 1 hauled my wood 37 miles. It took me three days to make tho trip. I commenced hauling right after plowing time, 1 hauled six loads, and have wood enough for all winter. We cau keep our house warm with loss wood than we could ju Indiana. The house 1 live iu is a very cheap bouse. It is WU T»p mv „nn tummbii ship lap lumber. I lined it on the inside with same kind of material. 1 put tar paper on the outside. That is all there is to it, and it is very comfort table. I heard from Indiana that we had n big blizzard here in North Dakota, but us people who live here have failed to see any blizzard yet this winter. I will now give you some idea what it costs to keep stock. I left Indiana Murcli 27. When I reached North Dakota people had their stock turned out on pasture. I brought two cows with me and fed them no hay until Nov. 20, wheu the pasture was snowed under. Several of my neighbors have taken horses to winter at $lO per head, furnish all feed and take care of them. Can you winter a horse iu Indiana on hay lor $10? December was a warm month until the2sth wheu the mercuey fell to 12 below zero. H. W. Fobd. Another Victory for Anti Toxin. Another opportunity to test the virtue of the new diphtheria remedy, anti toxin, was afforded Dr. W. Field Wood in the case of Frankie, the little seven year old son of F. X. Ganser, who was taken with the disease last week. Two injections of the remedy proved all that was necessary and recovery speedily followed. Tt is n great pity that the scarcity and expense of anti toxin prevents its univeral use, but by another year there will doubtless be plenty procurable and at reasonable prices. It takes from seven to uine months to perfect the serum, which is developed through constant injections of the diphtheritic germ until the horse used for the purpose becomes thoroughly immuue.— Mishawaka Enterprise.

Nothing but superior merit keeps it so long at the front. A contemporary takes the following unique plan of dunning its delinquents: “If you have frequent fainting spells, accompanied by chills, cramps, bunions, chilblains, epilepsy and jaundice, it is a sign you are not well, but liable to die any minute.

Rev. P. W. Stuckman is canvassing for subscriptions and is confident of securing $4,000 in Nappanee alone. There are 36 Dunkard churches in the northern district of the state and each church will be asked to contribute. The North Liberty correspondent to the South Bend Tribune calls Walkerton the “little hay town.” Well, that’s an improvement over “huckleberry town,” any way. Yes, Walkerton is justly entitled to the appellation of “hay town," as the baling and shipping of hay in this locality lias become ' a great industry, employing many hands and adding largely to the pros- • perity of the community. The iiay industry of Walkerton is one which any town might well covet.
