'occasion being the marriage of their second daughter, Miss'Mary Clara, to Mr. Milton M. Russell, of the township of Hay, The ceremony was performed' about six o'clock;in the evening by the Rev: D. W. Collins, rector of the Trivitt Mem- Oriaf church, Exeter, in the presence of between sixty and seventy guests. The bride looked very pretty, hand- somely (;owned in Venetian cloth, trimmed with blue and white braid, tieing after the style of the Princess gown. There was no :best man, no bridesmaid nor maids of honor. Men- dlessobn's. wedding march was played by Miss Maud. Russell, sister, ofthe groom. After the ceremony all • sat down -to partake of thewedding feast so abundantly supplied and tastefully arranged, The bride is well and favor- ably known and by , her sunny ways and sweet disposition has won her countless friends,.. as was testified by the many costly and ; useful presents bestowed upon her on her wedding day, 'fr. and alas.
