MiceztoxlAL: On Wednesday, 10th
inst., at the residence of Jae. Sharp, in
this township, one of those pleasing
events occurred when Alfred J. Lowery,
of Brussels, led to the hymenial altar
Miss Eliza J. Sharp. The nuptial knot
was tied by Rcv, M. Swann, of Brussels,
in the presence of a goodly number of
relatives and friends of the bride and
groom. The bride and bridesmaid were
very neatly attired in light cream color-
ed drosses trimmed with lace. The bride
was negated by Miss Rachel Sharp,
while F. W. Kelly performed like (little
for the groom. After the ceremony was
over the oompany sat down to a rich
repast provided by the host and hostess
which spoke volumes for their hospital-
ity. One of the amusing features was
the secretion of caring, a thimble, a but-
ton and a piece of money in the bride's
Dake. The ring was got by a sprightly
widower, not 1,000 miles from Brussels,
much to the disappointment of some
of the younger swains who no doubt
thought their turn should be next. The
thimble and button, which denoted an
old maid or bachelor, were both got by
married guests, so I don't think there is
going to be any old maids or baohalors in
the present company. After the inner
man had been supplied the time was
spent in merry chat, vocal and instru-
mental music until about 7:80 p.m. when
about a dozen rigs drove to Brussels
where the young couple took the east
bound train, amid a shower of rice, ac-
companied by the best wishes of their
many friends. The bride was made the
recipient of a number of handsome and
useful presents, among them a beautiful
morocco bound family Bible from B. 0.
