SCoTT-LAMBUTH At the resid-nce of
the bride near Madison Station, on Thurs
day, the 9Th inst By the Rev Mr.. Langiord.
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Miss
LAURA G. LAMBUTH to Mr.. J. w. SCoTT.
The bride and groom are both semi
mutes. The bride is daughter ofthe Rev
John Lam buth, formerly of Madison coun-
ty. and is graduate of our State Institution
for deaf mutes in this city. The groom is
teacher in the above named institution,
and Is graduate of the National College
for deaf mutes at Washington, D. c. The
ceremony was Interpreted in the sign-lan-
guage by Mr.. c. II. Talbot of our institu-
ton.
The God of Love speaks all languages,
and through sunshine and storm, in pros
perity and through the plague, he keeps
busy at his appointed work, and makes the
arrowy shafts of his gay rhetoric to find a
Judgement in the human breast. In the
language of the mute, the sign for counting
is taken from the cooling of dove, and
though the ears of this happy pair are closed
To all earthly sounds, and though they were
widely separated by distance, they contin-
ued to hear the cooling notes of the call OF
love, through the rush and excitement of
the recent epidemic, and beyond the close
confinements of quarantine, and have hast
encd to respond to the resis tless call at the
fragrant altar of Hymen. We wish them
happy entrance through the garlaldfd
gates into the blooming gardens of matrl-
rimonial bliss.
Mr. ). is native of Pennsylvania, and in
the union OF his fortunes with one Of the
fair daughters OF the South, Love. the great
healer all human woes, is stretching out
another of those gentle cords that are. more
surely than by any political ties, gradually
binding US into a united, happy and homo
geneous people.
