Mr. Alexander Clem, of Quicksburg, Shenandoah County, and Miss Effie Simmons, of Highland County, both former pupils in the Deaf Department of this school, were married yesterday at the home of the bride's brother, in this city, Rev. I. W. Canter officiating.
Mr. Clem follows the carpenter trade which he learned here while at school, and by industry and economy has accumulated considerable property. He has a shop of his own, and does cabinet work when not employed on building.
The bride is a young lady of many admirable qualities, and mr. Clem is to be congratulated upon his good fortune.

Mr. A. L. Clem, of this place, one of our expert marksmen, with his trusty rifle, has up to this time this summer shot 57 squirrels. Within the last 3 years he has killed 327 squirrels. He generally shoots them in the head. In the month of April he shot 14 wild ducks. Who can beat that-shenandoah Valley, June 27
When Mr. Clem was a pupil here years ago he had his rabbit traps set in every brier-patch within three miles of the School. He is a born sportsman, but it must not be inferred that hunting is Mr. Clem's chief occupation.
He is an industrious carpenter and cabinet maker, and owna a nice home and a well equipped shop at Quicksburg, Shenandoah County.
