MCKINNEY, June "a, 1850
Last evening the 25d instant, occurred one
of those social incidents, in our quiet city,
which has always excited lively emotions OF
interest from the time of that earliest cere-
mony in the garden, Of which the angels
were guests and witnesses, and on which the
young stars looked down on their blessings,
to the latest and most elaborate marriage of
modern civilization. Our esteem Young
townsman, and host OF the
popular 'Foote house." Charley
Mckinney led to the hymenal altar Miss
Edith Stewart, who met her fate while on a
visit from Missouri to relatives here. The
wedding took place at the residence Of Mr.,
Warner, Rev, Fackler officiating minister,
/ in the presence Of the numerous invited
guest, ard thence the wedding party repaired
to the Foote house, where groom and bride,
with their attendants, were welcomed and
congratulated, and cheerful ioyousness
reigned supreme. At 10 O'clock supper
was announced, and the bright and happy
throng repaircd TO the dining room to par.
take Of refreshments that had been bounli-
fnlly spread. The menu Of this repast we re
pleasant study for the epicure, bountiful
in supply, endless in variety, and the very
genius of good taste smiled invitingy from
every ssvory Wand and sweetmeat, Flow
ers in gracious profusons crowned the board
and distilled their fragrant odors. Sparkling
WINS caught richer hue from the
bright eyes of beauty and
goOd. natured Jest and reporterre and
ripping, joyous laughter, gave life and AMI
nation to the scene. At II the orchestra
signaled the dance, and now in real earnest
begins the enjoyment of the evening. Let
us look at some of the most
notable toilets, as their lovely wearers
take their places on the floor:
The bride looked charming in white cash
mere and satin deliberately trimmed and
beautifully decorated with lace and orange
flowers. An illusion veil, arranged most be-
comingly and falling gracefully from a
petite and fairy,like figure, lending charm
that only that fair blonde with deeppure blue
eyes can give. Miss Annie Heard, one of
McKinney's most charming and accom-
plished bellies, wore a wine colored silk elsb-
orately trimmed in light blue silk, which was
very becoming. Miss Rebecca Huffman, an
other fair daughter of this city, wore dark
green silk, combined with old gold. One of
the handsomest, as well as one of the most
intelligent and mertorious of our young la
dies, wore an elaborate toilet of Havana
brown with old gold roses. Miss
Flora Benge was tastefully attired
in light blue silk ornaments, lace
and flowers. The young ladies, one
and all, made a splendid appearance. All
that wealth and refined taste could dictate
and procure was to be found in their person
mel, which resembled more troupe of fairies
on holiday than everyday mortals. Among
the matrons present, Mrs. Ringer, Mrs Shain,
Mrs. Houston and Mrs. Abbott were notably
elegant in their toilets. Mrs. Ringer in ele.
CANT brocade and silk and jet trimmings and
coral Jewels. Mrs. Shaw, elegant wine-col-
ored silk and velvet deliberately trimmed, dia-
mond ornaments. Mrs. Houston, elaborate
evening costume, cardinal trimmings win
sapphire Jewels. Mrs. Abbott, in sapphire
blue and gold old, with ornaments ard flowers
But we are impeding the dance. The volup'
tuous swell of the music pulsates through the
hall and the eager feet of the dancers are i'm
patient of further delay:
clamps shone DER fair women: ami brave
A thousand hearts beat happily,
And when music arose with its No.nptuons
swell;
Soft ewes looked love TO eyes which spoke
again,
And all went merry as n marriage bell
And on through all the happy hours
until the "rosy blush of morn
ing began to mantle in the
East" without a single occurrence to chill
the festive glow or cloud the radiant brow
of genial mirth and good feeling. The pop
ulsr young host of the Foote house and his
charming bride have certainly he'd an auspi-
cous sehd-otf upon the matrimonial sea,
May propitious gales carry them on through
u prosperous voyage to a safe and secure an
chorage at the last.
