the brides parents Rev. Mr. Herrick of Sher- man performing tue ceremony At little be- fore one o'clock or "Wednesday, tue Sth inst, the guests began to assemble, for the happy twain were to be made one at exactly sixty minutes past twelve. o'clock. Many of those present were friends of the groom from Sber- man. After the knot was securely tied and congratulations extended and the bride kissed sufficiently, refreshments were served Now we are in quandary. We cannot anymore name the different kinds of cake than we can number the stars of heaven, but their number was legion. Then there was ice cream and all sorts of fruits. After which there was much talk, laughter and inspection of the numerous presents. Let's see, there were pictures and pictures, all pretty and worthy of mention, table spreads and napkins, silver napkin rings, knives and forks cake baskets, etc., etc, glass ware, etc., and greenbacks, and other things But at last it came time to start for the train; then there was more hand-shaking and kissing and well wishing, and, finging slipper after them, and they and their merry followers were gone. Now comes the tug of war. Are we expected to tell how the bride was dressed ? She was arrayed, and Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like unto it. She wore very nice silk dress, but the color we know not, and her hair was twained with something green and was very tastefully arranged. We can only say she was ''too sweet for anything" as we happened to overhear a person remark. And somebody else remarked that they "never saw so handsome couple" and we feel to say they looked like happiness personified and wish them long, useful and happy life.
 "Hark! how the cheerful birds do chant their laes
 And carroll of Lovers praise.
 The merry lark his mattins sings aloft;
 The thrush replies; the mavis descant playes:
 The onzell shrils; the ruddock warbles soft;
 So goodly all agree, with sweet consent,
 To this dayes merriment."
 And we would sing likewise only we are no singist, but we feel merry just the same. It is rumored more matrimonial matters of this kind are fast assuming proportions, but a pleasanter day they will not have, and more enjoyable occasion than this of which we write we feel safe in defying anybody to make. l .E
 Saturdays adjourned town meeting was again adjourned till three weeks hence, which will be Saturday Nov. 1st, on account of some incorrectness in the report of the proposed. highway There was considerable talk for and against the road but many feel confident that it will be obtained yet.
 Rev. Elijah Woodruff, from Washington, supplied our pulpit Sunday during the absence of Rev. MT. Lancanshire who has gone to Whitehall N. Y.
 Sunday night it was our privilege to at- tend the best temperance meeting of many day. It was spirited. A good many made short speeches, witty and to the point, and it went right along and had some vim to it, and everybody seemed to be interested, and noth- ing but home talent was present either. The subjects discussed were the prohibitory law, moderate drinking and total abstinence, pro and cO7a.
