The Hymeneal Altar.
For some time past there had been
whispers that one of orr prominent citi-
zens was to be united in the bonds OF
wedlock with younger sister OF high
county official. These whispers became
louder and louder until at last everybody
knew, and everybody whispered conf
dentially to everybody else the names Of
the parties. Yesterday evening the event
to which so many female hearts had
looked forward, and for which SO many
dresses had been prepared, came of with
great eclat.
The marriage ceremony took place at
the Episcopal Church. Rev. H. L. Badg-
er officiating. A large number Of the
friends of the happy couple had collect
ed in the church long before the bridal
party made its appearance. At O'Clock
the bridal party came in, and advanced
to the altar, when Miss Maggie Travis,
and Mr.. A. J. Blair were united in the
holy bonds OF wedlock. Mrs. W. S.
Travis, sister-in-law of Miss Maggie,
gave away the bride. The bridesmaid
was Miss Alva Bib, and the grooms-
man Mr.. Engene Blair, brother of the
Bridegroom.
We regret that we cannot give u de-
tailed description Of the ladies' dresses;
suffice it to say that they all looked
charming. and that the bride was dressed
in exquisite taste. Her attire was sim
pie, yet elegant, and in unison with her
charming face and figure.
Immediately after the ceremony the
newly married couple received their
friends at their residence on Cedar street,
which has just been completed and splen-
didly furnished. Following are the
bridal presents: set 81 silver table
spoons, Mrs. W. W. Bishop; silver tea.
spoons, Mrs. DR.. Bishop; large silver
pitcher, d. A. Fulks; silver cake
basket, castor, knives. spoons and
forks, Mrs. Z. j. Travis; set OF silver
spoons and forks. NJ. W. Kales; silver
fish-knife and fsh-spoon. beautifully
chased, John r. James; silver confec-
tionary basket, Mrs. DR.. Lee; mother. Of
pearl cardcase, Mrs. Jos. Travis.
"SooARrH ARoox We have read,
with permission of the author, John Ma
guire. the original manuscript Of the
play entitled "Sogarth Aroon." 1t ia a
picture Of Irish life twenty years ago. A
young lady and gentlemen are in love
with each other, but the lady, Helen. is a
Protestant and the gentleman, Fennell. a
Catholic, which precludes the possibility
OF their legal marriage. But Tom. Nod.
dy, the servant Of Helen's father, by an
adroit plan, brings about their marriage,
by priest, who thus lays himself liable
TO death. On the night after the mar.
rage Helen goes to meet Fennell. Cos.
tigan, coiner and murderer, binds Fen.
nell and gags him, and then murders
Helen (or supposes be does) and so cum
ningly has he devised his plans that the
blame is laid upon Fenuel, who tries to
vindicate himself in vain, and is about
to be hanged, when his maiden wife
appears, and also the girl who was sup
posed to have been murdered, being
taken for her, by mistake. The hot.
headed father forgives his daughter, and
in short poetical justice is finally melted
out to all. The underplot attracts as
much attention as it should. 1t ia hard
to tell. from the mere reading Of play,
whether or not it will draw. "Sogarth
Aroon cannot be put on the stage with
out more than one good actor. Almost
every character requires player Of more
than average ability TO do it full justice,
and the best play may be damned by
poor acting; but there are points in
the play witch We think are sure to
Ielem it uni, IS the cling is execrable.

Russian terrier belonging to Wm. STAINS

dog had been excellentiy trained. with
great pains, by his owner, who had SO
strong an attachment for him that he had
repeatedly refused to sell him at any
price. The two-legged thing who pos.
sesses 30 much meanness, and so little
rnanliness, as to throw poison around the
streets. should be stripped and dashed
till some OF the meanness were whipped
ont Of him, and little manliness whiT
ped into him.
