were to witness the celebration
of the marriage nuptials of Mr..
DAVID LEVI and Miss FRANCIS

the brides parents on Sunday
I evening last.
There was fine gathering of
| the friends of the contracting
parties present.. and the cere
monv, which was performed by
Rabbi Schwarz, of Hampstead, in
the Hebrew language, was very
solemn aud impressive, and the
groom and bride evidently felt
the grave responsibilities they
were taking upon themselves.

honors seeming and becomingly,
while Miss Francis appeared to
be as happy as a queen,
After the ceremony was over
the guests were invited to par
take of an elegant repast, pre-.

Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison dis
pensed their hospitality with an
unspairing hand. Everything
that would tempt the appetite
OF man or lovely woman, was
to be had in endless profusion.
After supper the friends of
the happy couple were informed
that there would be reception
at Eldrigde Hall, and that all
were invited to 60 up snd par
ticipate in the stripping of the
