The Fe'dr'sA silver % %Msdd'"E-A brilliant
On the 10th of March, 1857, the Lowery
mansion on Fourth street, now occupied
by tho family Of the late David Bradley,
was ablaze with light. 1t was the occasion
Fendrich Columbia's best families wero
represented to witness the cersmony,
which was performed by Rev. DR.. E.
who is now stationed at MELVILLE, Cum
berland county. Messrs. Joshua Vaughen,
of misplace, aud William BrOdrick, Of
Baltimore, acted a. groOmsmen, while
Miss Lizzie Herr and Mrs. Joshua
Vaushen (nce Wilson) acted as brides
maids. AT that time the wedding Was
considered y grand affair, but compared to
that Of last night its brilliancy was lost.
At : O'Clock last evening, the doors of
Mr.. Fentrich's pa!atial residence on Third
and Chestnut streets, were thrown open to
receive the guests that were invited to
participate in celebrating tho silver we'd
ding of Mr.. and Mrs. F. From then until
10 O'Clock the elite Of Columbia neighbor-
ing towns and distant cities came in
continuous stream, oOngratulating the
happy couple rs they passed to the ladies'
and gertlsmen's rooms !; tho ladies' room
being on the second floor left, and the
gentlemen on the third floor right.
Entorinr the doorway the visitor was
fairly lost in admiration at the beautiful
sight presented. Across the spacious hall
was halt circle Of evergreen with tho
word - i clcome' in the centre. The
large and handsomely furnished plrl0rs
were deco, ated in an elegant and tasteful
manner. Across the arch Of the bay win
dow was u marriage bell Of white, and
above that the date 1857 and 1882"
Flowers IL ',.l'lsome stands were placed
in c0nspicu"t., ..i,ces. while statues were
in each c.. ~,
Adjeini i. parlpr was tho dining
room, wher vas j scene to tempt an
epicure. A :"ng extension table stood in
the centre OF the room, reaching nearly
the whole length, and which fairly grOaned
under the weight Of Injuries loaded ON it.
In the middle Wa. 4 large flower stand,
four feet in height, from the centre Of
which hung burch Of bananas. At each
end were largo pyramids of fruit of every
conceivable description, while scattered
promiscuously around were cakes of all
kinds-frOm the large wedding cakes at
each end to the small kisses. Almonds,
raisins. candies, etc, We're in abundance.
In tho left hand of the room was table
containg salads, ice cream and oysters,
while another with tea and coffee stood
beside. The room was encircled by a rib
bon, and excepting the twelve gentlemen
who had been requested to assist, no others
were allowed Within This was done to
avoid as much as possible the rush that
generally takes place. The display of pres
ents was magnificent. What seemed a
kings ransom, i'll the way of elegant
silverware, was scattered all over the room.
We have not room to name all the articles,
suffice to say their equal has never been
seen in Columbia.
The conservatory was tho next place to
be inspected. Here the gallant gentlemen
poured compliments into the eager cars Of
the fair sex. The room was lighted by
candles in Chinese lanterns of all col0rs
and shapes, spreading weird light over the
huge stands of flowers, ivies and pretty
plants.
At II o'clock supper was announced,
and over two hundred hungry persons
made a rush for comfortable seats. The
supper occupied nearly two hours, and by
the empty look Of the table We judge how
we'll they must have relished the many
good things.
Dancing CAME next ON the programme
and the younger portion of the guests en-
tered it with heart and soul. Wealth,
beauty and happiness combined, mingled
and formed picture Of lovelness, such as
is seldom seen. Ladies' in their elegant
costumes of silks and satins sweeping the
floor with their long trains, whirled
around in tho dizzy meshes Of the waltz.
Others pr0menaded the halls, leaGing on
the arm of their escorts, the gentlemen
being in. full evening dress. And still
there were others, the moro sedatc. who
sat around the pariors, chatting to their
neighbors, or watching with admiration
the gracefulness OF the happy dancers.

This is tho second entertainment Mr..
Fendrich has given this year, but is is .
difficult matter tn tell which was the more
enjoyable on the greater success. In fact
Columbia has never Ead party that could
equal either Of them. Mr.. and Mrs. Fen
drick deserve much credit and have the
thanks of their num5erless friends for
their energy in trying to raise the droop
ing spirit OF Columbia society. p
Among the guests present from out Of
town were Rev. Eiskine, of MELVILLE,
who performed the ceremony 25 years ago;
