when the ceremony was but half per-
Ieormed. The happy couple left by
the Quickstep, as happy as young and
hopeful hearts can be.
Two OTaER HEARTS MADE HAPPY.
About the same hour at which the
marriage took place at the American
House yesterday, Mr.. J. G. Enslie,
from the lower bayou, was being
united to Miss Winnie L. Hooker, of
Bluegrass. The ceremony was per-
formed ct the residence of the brides
father, Mr.. Levi Hooker, by Rev.
Benoni Stinson. This party also left
on the Quickstep.
In connection with the two mar
riages we have mentioned above, a
rather amusing mistake occurred,
which was highly aggravating, how
ever, to one of the parties, and annoy
ing to another.
Captain Dexter, of the Quickstep,
made a present of a very handsome
cake to Mr.. Enslie, which was sent by
a negro to the American House, who
blunderingly delivered it just as the
marriage of Mr.. Berry was about to
take place, saying it was intended for
the wedding party. Mrs. Below, sup
posing as matter of course, that it
had been ordered by Mr.. Berry, placed
it on a stand in the parlor, and as soon
as the ceremony was performed, the
guests we're invited to partake of the
cake, and Mr.. Berry, supposing that
it had been generously furnished by
the proprietor of the hotel, did not
object, and the cake was soon half
devoured. and the balance was sent to
the JOURNAL and Courier Offices.
About this time Mr.. Enslie called
at the hotel and inquired for his cake.
An explanation eDsued, and the vexa-
ton of Enslie and the modification
of Berry can readily be imagined. but
cannot be described, while the disin
teresed spectators who had partaken
of Berry's hospitality, could not help
being amused at the negro's ludicrous
blum der.
The affair was amicably arranged,
Mr.. Berry purchasing the finest cake
he could find in the city and present
/ ing it to the parties whose cake his
friends had unwittingly eaten.
TIE STRAWBERRY SUPPER AND
MUSICAL FEsTIvAL.-The attendance
at the Walnut Street Church last
night was by no means as large as we
had right to expect, or which the
preparations, by the ladies merited.
Indeed, their preparations were on a
scale sufficient to have entertained all
who could have found access to the
Lecture Room and Parlors of the
! Church. Why the attendance was
not larger we arc unable to say. Ger
tainly not on account of the weather,
as the Opera House was crowded
Strawberries and cream were album
dant, and the strawberries were gen.
orally the largest and the finest We
ever saw. Delicious cake was also
abundant, and excellent lemonade.
The ladies, too, were assiduous in
their attentions to their guests, but we
regret that the guests were SO few.
] FISHING. = The fishing season is
fairly open, but most of the" sports -
come back bedraggled, and with
" isherman's luck" If the price of
fresh fish was TO be regulated by the
| luck of our piscatorians, it would
average about four dollars an ounce.
We know party Of four who went
cut in an express wagon in the morn
ing and came back at noon with a
four ounce bass and three small cat
I fish. Aud yet they said they had fun.
