The WKpDlHG.-That was real old
fashioned Virginia wedding, which
took place at Berry Hill last week.
The beautiful Episcopal marriage SER
vice was more impressively read than
we ever heard it before, all the particl-
pants in the solemn ceremony played
their parts admirably, and the greeting
of the fair bride to her lady friends was
one of the most charming scenes we ev-
er witnessed. The entertainment which
followed was in the olden sumptuous
style. The flow of merriment was kept
up without abatement until nearly
o'clock in the morning, and then young
and old went their way homeward IN
high glee. "KMCu' and ADDuNs SEEM

have died again, as he did in Lynch
burg, from eating, had he not gone
home in the middle of Il wagon-load OF
buxomest lasses in the country, got
pitched out and had to walk nearly a
mile to Mrs, BIS through the nipping
air, with pretty little comforter on
his arm. This saved him.
The bride and groom remained with
