MARRIAGES.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT MitcLells-
burg, yesterday, Mr.. Payne Mitchell and
Mis- Lizzie Roberts. were united in mat
rimony.
-OwsLEY-BuRSsIDE-The Presbyte-
rian Church presented a scene OF beauty
and animation on Wednesday night, as
two loving hearts consummated their
fondest hopes. The ladies Of the church,
~ token OF their tender regard for
the young couple, had beautifully dec
Grated IL, and in the space in front Of the
pulpit erected a canopy Of evergreens, in.
terwoven with cut flowers. From the CEN
tire Of the canopy, which was lighted by
scores Of wax candles, hung marriage
hell Of white hower-, while TO the right
vas displayed pair Of horsl hearts, and
TO the left a monogram Of the contracting
parties worked with the same material.
The pulpit was covered with stands Of cal
Ia lilie-, and other rare plants aud dow
ers, and from the stand was suspended a
horse shoe, also made OF flowers. The hour
for the marriage was set for 80, but at o
O'Clock, the church began to Gil, and BY
the time the wedding party arrived, was
densely packed. At length the organ,
yielding TO the trained touch Of Miss Sallie
Penny, gave forth the cheerful notes OF
Mendelssohn's Wedding March, and the
party entered. Preceded by usher. Mr..
Walter W. Ow.ley, Jr., Mr.. II. G. Bright
and Mis-. Psnthea Mckinney filed up the
left aisle and took their stand on that side
Of the canopy. Up the right aisle usher
Mr.. George McAlisier was followed by
Mr.. X. W. Hooker aud Miss Lucy Burton,
who took stands facing the other couple.
Close behind came the bride and groom,
who entered from the rear Of the canopy,
and standing beneath the bell, faced the
man OF God and the audience. Mr.. Joe
s. Grimes and Miss Florence Trueheart,
the rear couple, separated and took posi-
tions on either side Of them. The notes Of
the organ were hushed and Rev. |. 5.
McElroy, in an impressive and carefully
worded ceremony bound together the
hearts and lives Of Mr.. Ephraim p. owsley
and Miss Patty II. Burnside. Again the
organ resounded and the party reversing
their order Of entrance passed out and re-
turned 10 the Myers House, where a num-
Der of friends joined them and extended
warmest congratulations and good wishes.
The reception was, indeed, an elegant af-
fair. aud the delightful supper, consisting
Of oysters, salads, ices, cake, CONNECTIONS,
fruits, nuts, &c, partsken from handsome
ly dressed tables, evinced Mrs. Burnside's
superiority in such matters, and was thor
oughly enjoyed.
We have never known a couple to enter
the marriage state with brighter surround
ings or brighter prospects. The groom il
the only son Of DIR. J. b. 0wsley, and is q
manly appearing, warm hearted young
gentleman Of fine business capabilities
The bride is the petted daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. L. II. Burnside, and ia possessed
in the fullest degree Of that triumphant
trio Of traits, lovely, loving and loveabls
We have had opportunities on yari
Gus occasions Of observing her sweet ami
ability and eyenness Of temper, and !
Eph does not prove TO be the happies
married uan living, IL will not be hel
fault. You have won a jewel, my boy
Love, cherish and protect il. The happ,
couple have sensibly decided TO take NJ
tour, and for the present will receive thei
friends at the Myers HOUSE.
