AN oUT-oF-DOOR WEDDING.
A half dozen or so of broad stone steps
lead up to the front pOrticO OF the Har-
rOld residence, and Immediately IN rrOnt
on the descending ground, ls beautl-
grove of evergreen trees. The weather
Seing mild, the ceremony was perform
ed out of doors, the three couple stand
ing on the lowest step, which was car,
peted, and facing the crowd, who stood
| out under the trees.
The ceremonies began at near l21a
O'Clock, the Rev. S. Ben Mase OF the Re
| form church, beginning with the mid
die twain, Mr.. HARRY S.WERTz of Dalton
Wayne county. and MISS CLARA HAIR
ROLD.
The same reverend gentleman, having
| done so well with the first couple, pro-
ceeded to his right and tried his hand
upon c. ID. OBRRLIN, son of VIM. +. ODer-
| lin ESQ, of Tuscarawas township, IL
this county, and Miss Lucy HAROLD.
This twain he also bound in the holy
bonds of wedlOck, according to the beau
| tiful wording and form of his church.
| Immediately to the left of Mr.. Mase
was gentleman standing all this time,
/ getting ready to take hand, which he
i now proceeded to do; and the Rev. V. e..
/ Shelly, Presbyterian clergyman at Dal-
| ton, very quickly made one of Q. j. HAIR
RoLD and Miss EMMA WERTz. The cere-
mony closed with suitable prayer from
Rev. Joshua Crawford, of the M. H.
church, Dalton.
Thus were two sisters and brother
of the Harold family launched upon the
sea of matrimOny, under the happ1est
auspices. The two WeTtzes are cousins,
and their parents were present, as were
also the parents of Mr.. c. d. Oberlin. AT
ter few salutatiOns and greetings all
adjourned to the house, where the greet
ings were continued. Relatives and
friends of all the parties were in atten-
dance, and all wished them happy vOy-
age DER life'5 tempestuOus sea. Seldom
was witnessed a more interesting Occa-

seau is unnecessary. Suffice 1t TO say
that all was in good taste and fair to
see.

six. OF course the brides and grooms'
i the clergymen, and older people were
