Marriage festivals here are too the happiest
ot o,easions, and right royally has the mar

North been celebrated. There was another
f..,igal in honor OF their marriage he'd at the
ton4 of Nr. John S. Graybill last Thurs
s,y evening. Eight O'Clock was the hour
f,- The guests 10 assemble. M. and Mrs.
C,rbjll and Mr.. and Mrs. Jacobs received
(, the front parlor. There was an arrival
Of guests for the period of nearly al hour.
They we're all cordially welcomed ana passed
,u,o the parlors till the rooms were filed
md orerhowed. The happy smiling multi
tide found elbow room upstairs and down
.lairs, snd all went as merry as marriage
bell. As the coy rooms filed mp with
suests sons thoughtful person expressed
tie thought that perhaps the foors might
ei7s vas under the weight of the company.
H.. Graybill removed the troubled thought
b5 announcing that precautiOn had been
tsken to put up pillars a; number of places
n ibs house, so that a break in beam or
j9ist Eas put beyond human possibility.
The hum and buzz of conversation that
rss beard in every part of the house was a
certain evidence that the company was en-
jlyins itself. Between the hours of and
10 o'clock the bridal party passed into the
dining room. and refreshments were served
al rOuni amcng the guests from the lower
to the upper story Of the building by young
men and women, volunteer walters from the
company. The waiting service was quietly
snt expeiitiOusly done from the beginning
70 the end. The supply of good things
seemed 10 be endless There must have
been fountain Of coffee, and small noun
tain Of ice cream, for the draught upen
both vas uncommonly large, and every call
ass speedily answered by an additional cup
Of the hottest and most fragrant of coffee,
Or, plate Of the coolest and sweetest of
ice cream. Several different varieties of
sslAtine accompanied the cream, one of
shch was favored with lemon, and another
With red wine, but no fiagon of wine was
Presented 10 each guest, as was done by
David, the man of God, when he celebra-
ted the placing of the Ark in the temple at
Jerusalem. On that important occasion
David gave to each of the multitude, women
IS well as men, flagon of wine. Mr.. and
Ms. Graybill did not do that, but they fur
nlshed each Of their guests with many other
oe!eacies 10 eat. Guests were present
IRON LycOming county, MifTiin county, 2 Port
koyal, McAlisterville, Mexico, and from
ether places outside of Mifflintewn. There
hsn organ and piano in the house, but
tne rooms were so well filed up that the
!aies that play such instruments were back
'aFd about engaging at instrumental music
"sshlngton North, however, broke the ice
2! sitting down to the piano and executing
sPece in a manner that caused his friends
cap their hands in appreciation Of his
eort. Mrs. Herman North was prevailed
upon to play. Her play upon the instru-
@ent soon caused the room TO fill till there
vas scarcely elbow room, and if Beethoven
llnSeii had been at her side to assist, much
=" The music would have been absorbed by
ue Clothing Of the multitude that pressed
i from all sides, and their finer touches
spon the instrument could not have been
l9aTd al all. Mrs. Jacob. executed a num-
0si Of AEely pieces to the satisfaction OF
'-'ly friends. 1t was a pleasant party BY
--Allsht the company had been SO thinned
y" by the departure of many OF the
s1e''s that a number Of those that re-
--a'uea lndulgod in dancing for the period
u aa hour or more, 10 the music of the
s-i'ar and piano. They were full Of joy, as
"S David when the Ark was successfully
i-o'ed IRON the house of Obed- -edom, the
'''Ile, to the tabernacle at Jerusalem. Ii
A' Oh thst occasion that David took his
! ace before the Ark, and danced with al
m might, playing upon the harp as he led
NC way up 10 the hill of Zion, amidst the
.'-e oi the Levites, noise of cornets and
O~pe's. There Was no scornful &icba
'' 10 hurl reprOachful language against
J'!lui manifestation, and no need of an
'snahi answer such as David gave
'OH brought a reproach upon Michal sucl
