The New York City papers of Friday of last

toned wedding that occurred in that city on the
preceding day, in which the principal parties
were Mr.. William Bayard Cuttingand Miss OF.
iyia Murray the latter The daughter Of Bronson
Murray, Esq, 4 former residcn Of this city. As
on all such occasions the first question among
the ladies Is, how many bridesmaids were There
and how were they dressed, we make brief tx
tract on that important head:
There were six bridesmaids, all dressed in
hi gh-neckcd white silks, with wrcuths of Gener-
al JaCqueminoJ roses in their hair and long wells
ot whjte tujl9, and carried bouquets of the same
gorgeous roses in the hands As the delicious
fragrance of The flowers ilOated through the
broad aisle, one could not bat remember AbouTs
pretty m0t, that "All roses, even the Marcchal
Nicl, had been forced to deliver up their swords
to General Jac1ucminOt" 1t is indeed, the mon
arch Of all roses. After these whlte-rObed beau
ties, garlanded with glowing red-this vision Of
vestal virgins bearing aoit the sacred fire. as
young wOrshipel POLITICALLY put it-came the
bride, pale but scli-pOsses~ed and serene, in
white, with her tulle veil dropped over her face
nitcra very pretty and modest fashion. Her
dtcss was a magnificent gros grain white silk,
with garands OF orange blossoms, and wreath
OF the same bridal flower in her blonde hair.
She was led to the alter by her father

When the truck and equipments arrive, there is
little question but that Ottawa will have one Of
the bcs, volunteer fire departments in Illinois.
THE store of Messrs Learned " Co, at Utica,
was entered ON last Tuesday night by burglars,
and relieved Of some $2OO worth OF sugar, shawls,

The sky-gazers on yesterday whose staring
into the heavens excited so many questions were
looking al piece Of wrapping paper which, be-
ing caught up in little whirlwnd in front Of
Tozer's was borne several hundred feet and car
ried on an upper current far eli toward the
northwest, till cost 20 sight. That's all. The
trumpet had not sounded.
