quiet town since the marriage OF the Elk Presidents
son TO Miss J-es All the mllllners and dress max
ers were IN demand, and the shop-keepers had
real benefit. Almost every yard OF satin and lace IN
town was used up, and many had TO send 10 New
York to procure dresses &c. for the occasion and
many fashionable artistic OF your city will have
TO thank Miss p. for getting married in these
dull times. The eventful 10th at last came round :
day such as we rarely know at this season OF the
year-bright, coudless and serene-a pleasant
augury for the young bride elect. Towards even.
ing the commoion in the neighborhood OF the :" old
coonie" became very great, the rafting OF many
carriages, conveying the favored friends who were
invited TO witness the tying OF the nuptia knot; and
the arrival of the clergyman gave US 10 know that
soon the twain would become one" AS the
clock chimed the hour, (half past seven) the Rev.
ed preacher and most agreeable friend, performed
the services in very expressive and happy manner,
and pronounced the happy pair = nan and wife.
Oh, 1t must be real pleasure 10 be married by such
man he feels SO entirely the full force and
beauty oflhe service THAT when he is speaking, one
almost tancies his words of benediction TO be pro-
nounced by I" inspiration from above"
AT about halt past eight, those VINO he'd invitations
10 the party only, began TO arrive. II were impos-
sble TO enumerate all the beauty, wit and fashion
that soon assembled In those ample parlors so we
will, at tue risk of being called partial, mention
few of the most attractive and fashionable, begin-
ming with the bride. Miss Ann J. Penniman, now
the happy Mrs. Wickes-how shallow can De-
scribe her. Beautiful. She was dressed in perfect
taste her lovely features all smiles, dark expressive
eyes" tell tales" speaking all the 10Y she felt"
her dark brown hair shading. but not concealiny
her tine intellectual formed head; while the biil-
hants, vainly meant to adJrn, were themselves
adorned The lovely sister Of the bride was first on
her left hardly second to her more fortunate sister
she looked . happiness personi6ed," yea queen of
happiness, as she is OF hearts. | could but think
that Jewels were useless for those fair sisters, who
so beautiful themselves drew all the eyes of the
gentlemen, and caused many heart to futter
Next came the second bridesmaid, Miss Harriet
Xxx, bosom friend to both sisters, a quiet beauty
all know her bnt to love-" She is sister to Rev.
f.. N. Xxx, the celebrated preacher OF course
you will say at once, and rightly that she is highly
accomplished, not brilliant, but deep-not beautiful,
but perfectly pretty adding to an accomplished
mind manners the most engaging. Oh, what wife
she would make fora bachelor like myself, your
humble servant Last, not least, bridesmaid Miss
B-yd, stately beauty, the very bean ideal of
SCOTS Queen Bess in Kenlworh The centre OF
little circle. she seemed "born TO command the
attention OF the gentlemen and she must have
been gratlfed to witness the happy looks of the ia
vOred few on whom she chose TO smile. Ii is a rare
sight 10 see so much beauty in so small circle /;
and OF all the beauties the bride and her sister were
the most beautiful-they lacked nothing Yet the
others possessed beauties that they had not-all
lovely, yet not alike
