WEDDING TRIPs.-A wedding party from Ma

stopped at the new saloon on the Oberly corner,
where they remained long enough to become aw-
fully pleasant on a feast Of pretzels and flow of
beer, then drove home again over the hills and
far away" to Navarro.
Another party drove through the city in the af.
ternOon from Louisville. In the procession were
twenty five carriages, three Of which branched
off on Market street. The bride and groom, Nick
Lamielle and Pauline Joliet, occupied the first
carriage, and drove two. horses bedeCked with
pretty ribbons The remainder Of the party drove
one.horse carriages, and you must know that
these country beaux drive nothing but good
horses on such an occasion as this As the pro.
Cession drove up East Tuscarawas street, the pc.
destrians occupying the curb stones aud windows
commenced to 90 up, and they passed, viewed by
as many people as though they had been brass
band instead of band of lovers. To be sure,
there was some smiling at the Carelessness with
which they wore busters or overCOals, covered
their knees with light linen lap rug or buffalo
or wolf robe, aud at the entirely satisfied way in
which they made use of the lazy back" but 1t
was pretty sight and of course they enjoyed it,
