of Kentucky, was married on the
25th Of May, to Miss Emma E. Timms,
ut the residence Of her mother, in
Buffalo, W. Va, by the Rev. John
Martin, Of the NJ. Z. Church South, Of
which the brides mother is devout
member. The wedding was q quiet
affair, witnessed only by few init,
mate friends Of the bride and her rela-
tiyes. Notwithstanding the utter
absence of all pomp and splendor, the
hospitable old mansion, blazed with
aglow oflight and beaming faces, and
the wedding feast was one fit for the
gods. We know the fair bride, but
are unacquainted with the groom,
Maj. Henderson, but learn from those
who know, that he is a true type of
the Kentucky gentleman, and we are
certain he must be such, or he could
not have carried off such prize from
the galaxy OF beauty, which shines
80 resplendently in the Kanawha
Valley. We learn the happy pair,
will, about the 10th of June, take q
tour, after which they will settle
down to domestic bliss in Kentucky.
We extend our congratulations.
