Signor Mora, of New York. presided at the organ, and ably sus- tained his high reputation. The bridal pair were attended by fonr bridesmaids and groomsmen. but 2 description of their appearance and dresses, which were very elegant, is beyond your correspoudent's $ limited powers. The bride was given away by her uncle Rev. Edward Bul! Only one thing occurred to mar the pleasure of the services. and that was the unnecessary noise and confusion caused by number of men and boys who rushed into the gal leries and aisles after the services common ced, and rushed out again long before they were finished, making such disturbance that it was utterly impossible to Lear any thing that was said. They afterward re mained about the door making it very diff. icult for the guests to reach their carria ges It must have suggested 10 thos. present tho prupriety of closing the doors on such occasions to all but invited guests We are happy to learn that rumor, whicf was extensively circulated. that the gallery settled slightly, was entirely unfouDded At the close of the church. services a recep ton was held ut Mrs. Sanford's, where everything that hospitality could sugges was provided for the entertainment of thei friends. About five Lun.lled availed them selves of the opportunity of copgratulatint the bride and groom upon the suspicious occasion. The presents on exhibition, i enumerated, would fill at least column Silver ware, books, bronzes, glass ware &e., &e., crowded one upon another SC closely US to defy description. One of the most Lotieable presents was N thousand dollar bond from the brides aged Aunt Miss Sally Northrop, who. although ninety i've years old. was present. ut the church and house in company wlt!, hrr sister Mrs. Ball, the grandmother Of tho bride. Her present was solid silver set, with splen. did silver tray. Tue table was furnished by New York caterer, and was ns elegant as it was generously supplied. The absence of all kinds of wine was especially com mended by All present. as being in accor. dance with the advancing continent of the times. The promenade music was furnish ed by Bernssien's Orchestra, ofrNew York, and included five pieces violin. cornet, flute. clarionet and piano. The reception closed at eight o'clock, and the bride and groom, accompanied by large party oi friends, left at once by special train for New York.

 Not long since, there took place in this vicinity wedding, with . bit of romance in it. The parties were William NJ. Tyler of Buokshill, Waterbury, and Ida. daugh' ter of the. late Capt. Edward Painter o1 Plymouth. The marriage had been de. signed to take place on or about Christmas day. at the house of the late Silas Hoad- ley; but owing to the feeble and dying condition of the latter, it was postponed until '.a more convenient season." On Wednesday. January 4th, the Rev. Porter Thomas was called on to perform the cere- mony. Arriving at the place designated, he found that the license had been obtain. cd in Waterbury. and that consequently he could not legally unite the parties in Ply mouth. The difficulty was overcome in the following manner: All the introducto- ry portions of the ceremony were gone through with where they were then assem- bled; after which, the clergyman and oth- CTS particularly interested took short walk over the line. where the strictly es- sential part took place. and the knot was fully tied.
