! At o'clock the marriage was solemnized
by Rev. Mr.. Mclean, in the presence OF the
relatives and Intimate friends of the bridal

ceremonies, portion of the party retired.

in brilliant cotillon, which was prolong-
ed till near the small hours of the morn
ing.
The bride was neatly and elegantly
dressed, and deported herself during the
reception with that ease and grace for
which she has always been so much ad-
mired by her numerous friends. Galena,
we believe, is known to possess at least her
share of fair women aud brave men," and
not few of the former were present last
evening, all OF whom were attired elegant
ly aud IN good taste. i,,.. ami. ..' ..I .,.f D..

For her excellent qualities ofheart and
her many accomplishments, the bride,
| from her childhood up, has been highly
esteemed by her associates, and she will be
much missed in our social circle. Few la
dies are as well qualified to grace the brill
liant circles in which she will move at the
national capital, and no one is more deserv-
ing of the gallant officer and accomplished
gentleman with whom her destinies are
united. r.5 .Fr..e.Esl -. f,rtIrt q.
