Recherche Wedding.

| By far b, most delightful social event
in the history of our town, occurred on the
occasion of the marriage of Mr.. John Gall
lin to Miss Sallie Darst, at the residence
Of the bride, on Thuraday, 9th inst. On
entering the rooms of the Darst residence
we were struck with the attractive, beauti-
/ ful and profuse floral decorations The
north room, designated as the ceremonial
apartment, in and about the bay window
! presented Bank of Flower-," beautiful
to the eye, and fragrant to the senses. In
this connection, We wonld be remiss in our
duty il we failed to notice the exquisite
bisket of cut flowers, decorative offering
from the hands of Miss Mary Scott.
! THE CEREMONY
Was conducted by the Rev. Father Lilly,
Prior Of st. Josephs, who united the hap
py couple at II o'clock, NJ. Father Lilly
deserves the thanks Of the company for
his appropriate and well-delivered remarks.
May he often have an opportunity of re-
peating this good advice and excellent SEN
GUESTS.
About fifty guests were present, among
which were several prominent and die.
| tinguished gentlemen and many elegant
ladies. Among the guests residing>at
distance, we noticed Col. NJ. V. Sheridan.
U. s. A., and charming wife, Miss Lille
Darst, of the Circleville Herald, with two
cousins, from Circleville, o., Mrs. McElwee,
of Leavenworth, Kansas, and Miss Callie
O'Neii, Of GAINESVILLE, o., also, Hon. w. E.
Finck, Rev. James Mitchell, Rev. Father
Higgins, and S. X. Ream, of this locality.
A noticeable feature in the north room at
one time, was the complete enjoyment of
a group of old folks, consisting in part of
Mrs. Mary Sheridan, mother of Gen. Phil
Sheridan, Mrs. Hewitt, Mrs. Gallin, moth.
er of the groom. and Mr.. Francis Gala
CHER, Sr. We are sure the above worthy
names will testify to the truth of our state
ment. After the ceremony, an ordeal, by
the way, passed with grace and self posses
sion, in the midst of congratulations a te'-
egram from a brother in law of the groom
WAS received, containing the following:
FORT SUPPLY, t.
Sept %, 1880.
Dcar Frsends:-On this happy day. accept my
congratulations. JOHN l.. SHERIDAN. .
The receipt Of this telegram at the time,
considering the distance il had travelled,
was opportune and remarkably coincident.
An hour spent in pleasant conversation
and congratulations,
| REFREsHMENTs
Were announced, and in due time served
in excellent style. Good things, ranging
from the substantial to the delicious, were
introduced with system and order. Our
appetite did ample justice to these good
things, but our pen fails in this particular.
Suffice it to say that the refreshments we're
a complete success; every detail connected
Herewith was 80 admirably arranged and
carried out, and all 10 promptly and abund.
antly served, that it was matter of sur
prise. The managers of this feature of the
entertainment surely deserve great credit
| ment.
And now, We must apologize to the lady
render for not attempting description Of
the toilets at this reception. Indeed, il
can sarcely 0e presumed that country
editor should be versed sufficiently in these
matters to give true or intelligent des-
| cription. For this reason we shall make
no attempt, more than to say that the bride
looked very pretty in her handsome trav-
cling snit. ~-
Before We conclude, we must not omit to
mention rome of the numerous
