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.
