 An event long looked forward to took place on Wednesday, Oct Gth at one o'clock, the marriage of Hubert Williams, so widely known as an able young lawyer, with Miss Clara K. Coffing of Salisbury. The day was all that the most critical could desire, for Dame Nature had donned for it the splendor of her autumn glory, and had showered upon
