Yesterdays st. Louis Democrat observes
An event long in anticipation in, fashion,
able circles, took place last evening at st.
Georges Church, and was witnessed by one
OF the largest assemblages of the beauty,
wealth and fashion of st. Louis that has ever
been congregated under one roof. The occa-
sion OF this outpouring Of fashion was the
marriage OF one Of our naost enterprisinR
and successful merchants, Mr.. Derrick A.
January, to young and lovely daughter Of
Kentucky, Miss Julia Churchill. T6e prep
arations for this event have been the theme
OF conversation for several weeks-the
wealthy portion Of the community SHARING
largely in the agitation, and causing CON-
siderable calculation among the faireT mem
bers of the upper ten as to what should be
worn, and how it should be made up.
The bridal party entered by the eastern
aisle, and proceeded slowly toward the
chancel. The invited guests first, and the
principals of this interesting affair last. Mr..
January was dressed with all the taste of
polished gentleman-black pantaloons and
coat, rich white silk vest, faultlessly-pure
linen, in the midst of which gem of the
first water glittered brightly, and white kid
gloves. The bride-what shall we saw of
herr Miss Churchill, since her arrival in
this city, has been recognized as one of its
!oyellest bellies and last evening, attired in

deal plaintr than most of those present ex-
peetedto see; but what need, with her wealth
of beauty, her superb figure, and her grace
ful carriage, to add artificial ornaments2 A

waist. rich bertha of point dapploue;
wreath of orange-blossoms, from which
blonde lace vail dropped in ample fold, com
pleted her attire. A magnificent brooch,

over 81, 600, sparkled upon the frontispiece
OF the bertha, while correspondingly rich
diamond earrings reflected the vari-colored
rays Of the rainbow, as the fair wearer
moved up the aisle.
The expectant couple walked with firm
step, MIR. January holding his head as erect
and proudly as if he were a mighty king
about to take possession of mighty throne
and the lady, with her head bowed, in the
last expiring blush of maidenhood. The com
pany occupied the seats provided for them,
and the bride and bridegroom took their
positions before the railing in front of the
altar.
Bishop Hawks then approached and slowly
and impressively read the marriage service
OF the Episcopal Church, well known for its
beauty and solemnity. The responses were
promptly given-the ring passed-the hands

ing hearts (as We trust) were Joined in one.
The scene which followed it is unneces-
sary to describe. The bride was given away
by Mr.. Andrew Mckinley, and when the
ceremony was over there were the usual
congratulations and blessings all around.
The benignant countenance which Mr..
January habitually wears was never more
smiling, while the bride, blushing and
happy fairly spoke in every lineament Other
face an expression of Joy.
The bridal party was particularly Joyous.
The ladies' were each and all dressed with
exquisite TASTE and omong whom diamonds
glistened by the score, and the gentlemen
were never better dressed or more attentive
than now. They were not long escaping
from the multitude, however, and making
their way to carriages at the door. The
wedding festivities were continued at the
residence of the bridegroom, on Washing
ton-avenue, till late hour.
