Hunting the slipper.

There was grand old fashioned wedding III
Alleghany City the other day, the bride being
Miss A. VIZ, Of the Eighth Ward, and
the groom Mr.. q. H-a-at. The wedding
ceremonies occupied an entire day, the knot
being tied in the morning, and the rest of tho
day devoted to festivities The bridge &C.
cording to the custom, is in charge of tho
groomsmen until the end of tho wedding day,
and they are supposed to keep strich watch
over her until the hour of retiring, Ifone of
the guests can in any manner succeed in steal
ing the shoe off one of the brides feet a
search warrant is issued, aud, when tho same
is found, it is put up ut auction, and no one
is allowed to bid for it save tho groomsmen,
the proceeds Of sale always being the cooks
perquisite. At the wedding referred to, tho
shoe was stolen during the dinner hour A
mlschievous guest managed to got under tho
table while the wine corks wcro flying in
every direction, and the party were lnughing
at tho height OF their voices Secretly he
wcnded his way underneath the table until
he arrived at the brides chair, where, with
sharp knife, he gently cut the satin ribbons
that held the daintiost little slipper on very
pretty little foot He then retreatcd from
his position, and was successful in mingng
again with the happy crowd before his ab.
sence from the festive board was noticed. The
ropast finished, the party arose from the table,
and not till then did tho bride become aware
Of her loss. There was merry laugh, aud
the recovery of the slipper was to be effected.
An Alderman of Allegheny was ono of the
guests, and he was applied to for a search war.
rant. The document was issued, and the
gentlemen present, with the groomsmeu, as
presidents, resolved themselves into commit
tee of the whole for the recovery of the lost
slipper. After long search tho article was
found in the possession OF tho gentleman who
committed the larceny. He was appointed
auctioneer, and the slipper was knocked
down to one of the groomsmcn for eighteen
dollars He restored it to the bride, the
money was handed to the cooks, and tho rest
of the day and evening was spent in highly
enjoyable manner. Ptsbuy Dispatch.
