A Happy Gathering,

Our friend Donald Clark had a pleasan-
reunion of old acquaintance at his resit
dence on Dickerson pike, yesterday, in
honor CT the marriage of his son, Rev.
Archy Clark, to Miss Furguson. The
Scotch of this city were present in large
numbers, together with many friends and
neighbors, all of whom were entertained
by MIR. Clark with that warm hearted hos
pitality so characteristic of the Scottish
nation. Mirth and happiness, blending
with the martial notes of the bagpipe, held
universal sway. The company marched to
dinner to tn Scottish air of
" Oh, but you are long a-coming
Yet you are welcome, royal Charley ,"
May the newly welded pair live in bless
ing and in peace, until
Heaven envying esrths good hap,
Shall add an immortal title to their crown"
