The purpose for which these districts were created will be readily ob- served when it is pointed out that seventeen of them owe their existence to the fact that there was a general election in December 1893, five having been formed in 1892, six in 1893 and six in 1894. These last no doubt in tulfilment of promises made during the campaign—another evidence of the manner in which this most unscrupu- lous and demoralizing coterie bought its way to power at the last election.

FixanciaL CoMMITTEE OF THE TEMPERANCE ALLIANCE. i <i> <a A Retury Maton Piayep.—A quiet and pretty wedding took place in R ustico yes. terday morning, whea Mr. M. D. Ready, son of R. Ready, Esq, Irishtown, and Miss Ida Hughes, daughter or P. Hughes, Hunter River, in the presence of their intimate friends, were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. Rev. R. B. McDon- ald, P. P., Rustico, officiated. The groom was supported by his brother, J. A. Ready, B. A., while the bride, who was becomingly attired in fawn brocade trimmed with white satin and passamenterie, was attended by her cousin, Miss Georgie I. Kelly, Tracadie, who wore drab trimmed with pale blue silk. Miss Fanny Gallant presided at the organ, and as the party moved down the aisle the grand wedding march pealed forth in tones capable of being produced only by a master musician. After the ceremony the party were enter- tained to luncheon by the rev. pastor. On their return to the paternal mansion the unbounded popularity of the bride and groom was fully attested by the numerous and costly presents that greeted them. Mr. and Mrs, Ready have our best wishes, seen tin CAN THIS BE TRUE? Sir,—Is it true that Premier Peters fears the result in the Fort Augustus district and is thinking of nominating in the Georgetown distric:. It is ne wonder the Grits are getting alarmed. It is only in the Jast few days that they have realized how indignant the people are and how de- termined they are to put them out on the 21st.
