Notwith- standing the stormy weather about 130 invited guests sat down to a sumptuous wedding feast, to which we are sure all did ample jastice. Not only did the guests partake of a feast, but the horses also for the bride's father not only had an abund- ance of hay and oats but an hostler to dish them out. Then comes the splendid array of wedding presents, an array which has never been sur- passed in the neighborhood. Thus intimating how highly the bride is respected by all her friends and as- sociates. We feel assured' that her husband will not only enjoy a well kept home, but a happy .home made so by the presence of a seeming Christliko spirit. The festivities were kept up until are early hour. We are sure all the friends can heartily join in wishing this young couple a happy and prosperous life here and eternal life hereafter. --Coir.
