MIR. and Mrs. Geo. 8. Beall.
A large and brilliant company gath
cred at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs
VIM. s. Hayward on Wednesday eve
ming, July eth, to witness the marriage
of Mr.. Geo. S. Beall, son of Henry
Bcall, ESQ, of this city, and manager oi
Harmison's store at Parkersburg, W.
Va, and Miss Matte Fl. Stephenson,
daughter of Rev. G. S. Stevenson and
granddaughter of Solomon Hayward.
A hundred guests shone in elegant
dresses, and moved among each other
with the ease and grace that can only
be felt where the genius of a natural
hostess presides. The rooms were bril-
liantly illuminated, showing the grand
floral decorations, which blushed in
every corner. The large number of Ell.
egant presents were shown to the guests
upon their arrival by our host. At $50
O'Clock the bridal couple descended the
stairs, entered the parlor and were
pledged in the sacred covenant Of mar
riage by Rev. Mr.. Chaplin, the Presby-
terian minister of Middleport. Con-
gratulations were showered on the hap
py couple by the guests, after which ia
bles were spread in both rooms and the
company sat down to feast, which for
good taste, elegance, bounteousness and
richness, has never been exceeded in
this city. We were surprised at the
immense number Of rich cakes, cover
ing the whole range of culinary science
in that line.
At ten o'clock the BRIDE and groom
went aboard the Steamer Telegraph, en-
route to Cincinnati and thence Colum-
bus, O., the home of the brides parents.
