HYATENEAL.

Seldom has there been so happy an oc.
casion as that of yesterday afternoon. A
3 o'clock quite large and select company
of friends and vell-wishers assembled al
the First Presbyterian Church to witness
the marriage of Mr.. d. NJ. Spence, of the
house of Messrs. T & r Slevin 4 Cain, anG
Miss Amelia, daughter of Thomas Meek,
Esq, all Of this city. The attendants OF
the bridegroom were Capt. Y n Richmsn,
of Messrs. Davis & Green's, and Capt T G
Brown, of the house of Mr.. w A Owen,
whilst the fair attendants of the bride were
Miss Ella Collins, of Covington, Kentucky,
and Miss Josie Roberts, of this city. The
marriage ceremony was very impressiveiy
performed by the Rev. DR.. Wilson, the
regular pastor of the church.
The bride was very neatly and appro-
priately attired, and, TO which being added
her modest, ''sweet, attractive grace, "
looked most charming and pretty. The
bridegroom, as well he might, looked the
happiest of men. The bridesmaids were
also most neatly and becomingly attired,
and by their sweet and graceful looks and
bearing added elegance to the scene. The
groomsmen looked, as In truth they are,
both brave and gallant.
The happy couple, now made one, full
of present JOY and future promise, imme-
diately took the A. o'clock train for Ten
nessee, the bridegroom's former home, to
visit relatives and friends, and they bear
with them, not only for that bridal trip,
but for life's voyage, the congratulations
and best wishes of hosts of friends.
