hundred and fifty elaborately engraved
cards of Invitation were issued, in pursu-
anee of which goOdly number of rela-

parlofs of the mansion TO witness the
nuptial ceremony. At II IN. sharp Rev.

highly respected young ladies in North

| tiOns most sumptuous dinner followed

season affords in substantials, dainties &c.

from many friends of the bride and groom
and if good wishes will benefit them and
make their path of life smooth no thorns
will grow among the roses. The presents
were numerous, costly, and very appro-
| PIRATE, and must necessarily assure John
and his fair bride of well wishes of hosts
of friends. After the banquet the happy
