The church was packed long before th
hour mentioned, principally by youn
Misses, some of them friends of the younI
coupe, and others through mere curiosity
The 70 pastor, Rev. Mr.. Fowle, was alst
promptly on hand, but the young coupl,
that all were anxious to see, failed to put
in an appearance at the appointed time.
The minister took a seat in a front pew
and told the sexton to notify him when iht
couple arrived. Fifteen minutes of anxiou.
| waiting, with every eye strained at the
door, and yet no couple linked in arml
we're In sight. Finally, when patience wa.
about ceasing to be virtue, little futtel
of excitement was noticed, and directly q
young couple that showed every indication
of being properly disposed to be made on,
was seen to enter the church, and, march
ing up the aisle, took seat close to tn,
altar.
The minister not wishing to delay tn,
matter anv Longer, concluded to proceed
with the ceremony without the attendants

swered in the affirmative, requested then
to stand up. and at once began with thu

question, ''are you willing to take this wo
man to be your lawful welded wife, &C., >
when 10, and behold, the proper couple
Mr.. Ora ford and Miss Yelton, entered th'

groom and bride. .,.. br,
The latter were requested to cme for
