A Brilliant Wedding in wallingford.


The incident of Wednesday, May 10th,
in Wallingford, was the marriage Of Mr..
George L. Batcheller and Miss Jessie
Waldo, in the Congregational church, at II
o'clock, a. m. 1t was lovely spring morn
ing. The air had been softened by night
shower, that had purified II from smoke
and gave balmy delicious atmosphere.
The bright green of the early foliage, the
many hued flowers in gardens, the velvet
turf Of field verdure, all seemed In harmony
with the occasion. The church was taste
fully trimmed with plants and flowers. The
dias of the pulpit was adorned with plants
with rare and exquisite blossoms. A beau
tifully entwined wreath of flowers was
looped from each lamp stand over the al
tar, crossing the entire pulpit. Over the
centre of the loop of flowers was large
bouquet of brilliant flowers, prominent
among which were three Gala lilies. On
either side Of the pulpit were wreaths Of
flowers on separate stands.
The church was well filled with the rela-
tiyes. friends and neighbors of the happy
pair. The Rev. Mr.. Huntress solemnized
the ceremony in an impressive manner.
Mr.. Seward j. Ainsworth presided at the
organ. F. B. Scribner and Mr.. Lyman
Brown were the ushers, and performed
their part admirably.
AS the last notes of the organ ceased,
the loud whistle of the approaching train
was heard, the wedding party were driven
to the depot to embark for wedding tour
of New York city and elsewhere, carrying
with them the anxious hopes and careful
considerations of the parents and relatives,
the kindest regards and the we'll wishes of
our whole community.

tor of the Baptist church here, and many
friends from abroad.
