Mrs. J. W. Daily, formerly Miss Drusi,
Cautlield, of Ohio,,,by DIR. =. r. Dodis,
pastor of the Christian Church, Nov.
30th, 1SSU.
From s O'Clock p. III, until $50, the
friends Of this estimable family wer,
seen pressing their way to the thronged
domicil Of DIR. Daily-at which tim,
the officiating minister, accompanied
10y Elder A. ID. Goodwin and Col. J. G.
Spivey, took their places near the open
arch between the parlors, from which
hung the magic horse shoe enclosed in
an evergreen wreath, while on the left
hun, the significant 1865, and OH the
right, 1850, rs suggestive of the lapse OF
fifteen years Of matrimonial bliss. Al
this moment earnest faces thrnngc,l
the halls and door-ways. Then "a Curl
Gus stiffness prevailed, only disturbed
by the soft notes of 1.-The Wedding
March's" measured time. When all
had lowered into stiffness, the Doctor
and his gnod bride come forth, leI by
Master Charley and Miss Belle, who
filed the Office Of attendants. Fora
moncnt the officiating minister was
evidently embarrassed, and when, on
asking the usual questions, voices were
heard in objection To this marriage,
and the bride would only promise to
have this to be her husband during
good behavior. The minister truly
comprehending the predicament, has
tened to n close, pronouncing the antic-
pating couple husband aud wife-en-
joining that no man should put them
assunder. Prof. Goodwin then led in q
most appropriate prayer, after which,
Col. Spivey, i'm his usual style Of elo-
quence. claimed the privilege, happi-
ness and honor of representing Mrs.
Daily In the gift Of a complete copy OF
Johnson's Universal Cyclopedia to the
husband. The Col. s remarks were in
regard to the excellence Of the work n
source Of most reliable information in
reference to art, science. biography,
history, and everything useful and in-
teresting, and the versatility of the
Doctors mental constitution, enabling
him to comprehend and appreciate
this vast literary treasure, with the
request that he should, If possible,
doubly prize the gift during life on
account of its coming from the fair
hand Of an accomplished and faithful
wife. The Doctor, though usually
good on repartee, seemed completely
routed by this surprise. and in his rest
lessness, could only find relief In ''sa-
luting his bride" BY the time he be-
came so collected rs to be able for q
speech, the company was in such COM
motion with congratulations, etc, that
the speech was postponed, and towards
the close Of the evening patients call
effectually robbed Us of the pleasure of
hearing speech from the poetic
tongue Of the Doctor.
