WEDDING. - On Monday week a pretty wedding was solemnised at the Parish Church, the contracting parties being Mr. J. HARVEY and Miss Clara STEVENS, only daughter of Mr. William STEVENS. The ceremony was witnessed by many friends of the bride and bridegroom. Mr. John STEVENS performed the duties of “best man,” while the bride was attended by Miss Mabel MOUNTSTEPHEN as bridesmaid. Messrs C. F. and E. HARVEY (brothers) and Miss Maria HARVEY (sister of the bridegroom) were also present. The wedding breakfast was provided at the home of the bride. The newly-married couple were the recipients of a number of useful presents.
CHAPEL SUNDAY SCHOOL TREAT. - This event took place at the Baptist Chapel on Tuesday evening, about 100 being present, including parents and visitors. An excellent tea was provided, and after that had been partaken of, Mr. F. RALLS? gave a magic-lantern entertainment. The slides consisted of portraits of the leading Generals in the Boer war, and others illustrative of the death of Cock Robin and the Wonderful Sausage. Recitations were given by Miss KEARL and Miss Ethel GARDNER, followed by a song by Miss Flossie GARDNER, all of which were much appreciated. The distribution of gifts from the Christmas-tree followed by Mr. P. J. THOR---???, suitable presents and an orange being given to each scholar. The arrangements for the evening were carried out by Mr. and Mrs. PERRYMAN and a committee in a manner which reflected great credit upon them.
