A SOCIAL
The wedding That Took Place Last
Evening.


The announcement by invitation that
the nuptials of Chas. j. r. Buttlar and
Miss Hilma Swensson would take
place last evening, was the cause of a
pleasant gathering at the residence of
the brides parents at that time. 1t
had been the intention to bave-the GER
emony performed at the Episcopal
church, but the disagreeable weather
and consequent muddy state of the
streets, induced a change in the pro
gramme, and the residence was deter
mined upon by reason of its being
o accessible. We do not propose
to Jenkinize the affair in the least, n
Will content ourselves By reinarking
That the bride and bridegroom upon
their appearance in the parior looked
as happy and conscious as two couple
well could, and seemed in nowise em-
barrassed by the fact that they were
the central attraction of the occasion.
The bride was attired in an eiegantco
tune. y triumph of the modiste's art,
aud looked bewiichingly lovely. We
noticed a prevalence OF white. and that
the toilette, including veil, flowers, ETC.,
was both rich aud elegant, but our
limited knowledge of the subect must
be our excuse for moi attempting de-
tails. h groom wore \ faultless
evening costume, including white tie
vest and kids, aud his manly Tearing
and beaining face, was evidence that e
considered himself one of the happi-
est of men. Rev. &. b. Crawford Off
ciated, and the ceremony was the usual
n that obtains in the Episcopal church.
The responses were distinc " and i'm
pre~sively made, and at the conclusion,
they were p~ronnnnced man and wife.
The guests then devoted themselves to
a season OF congratulations, and the
health of the young couple was drank
in many a sparkling glass of wine. A
splendid collation. had been provided,
which was done fnll justice to by those
present, and pronounced by ali who
partook as a triumph in the way of a
wedding feast.
The bridegroom, Mr.. Buttlar, is well
known in both Eureka aud White
Pine counties, he having been con
nected with the mercantile establish
ment Of r. Sadler IL Co. for a number
OF ve4rs, in the caparity of bookkeeoer.
He il an atfable and accomplished gen.
tieman, and has a wide circle OF friends,
who viii rejoice over his prosperity
and assured happiness. The bride has
resided with her parents in Eureka
since her girlhood, and her sunny dis
position and amiable qualities has
made her a universal favOrite. We
fancy that the verdict will ba that Mr..
Buttlar has acquired A treasure, and a
general wish will he expressed, heart
lily joined in by the SENTINEL, that the
matrimonial bark, so pro ~pitionsly
launched, may be favored with smooth
seas, and safely glide into a haven OF
domestic happiness.

of good will were both choics and
