Wedding Bells.
John Lilly, Esq, of this city, was
married on the 10Th inst, to one of At
chison's fair daughters.
We copy from the Atchison kansas,
Daily Patriot, the following notice of the
wedding ceremonies
Promptly at eight o'clock last evening,
as the city bells were sounding the hour.
the ceremony that made John Lilly, of
Lambertvile, New Jersey, and Lavilla
Smith, only daughter Of George S. Smith,
husband aud wife, was being said by Rev.
Abel Leonard, rector of Trinity church.
In the parlor at her home, beautifully
decorated with floral offerings, under the
symbolic wedding bell, and surrounded
only by loving hearts, the solemn and
impressive obligations were taken,
and when the good Rector pronounced
"What God hath joined together let no
man put asunder," its fervor was felt by
everyone in the circle of intimate friends
who had gathered there.
The bride was superb in her remarka-
BILE loneliness, ard the richness and ee-
gance of her bridal robes we're something
unusual in Atchison society. The manly
appearing groom, good natured aud
handsome, proud of his fair and lovely
bride, was evidently living on the pima
clio of life's happiness, and it required
rare discrimination and Judgment to de-
termine which should be most congratu-
lated
The wedding supper was the cnlmina-
ton of the art culinary, and in elaborate
decoration and perfect menu, was beyond
compare with similar events in Atchison.
Merrily the happy company enjoyed the
wedding feast, and lingering over the
goodly spread, in pleasant converse, pass
ed many a pleasant jest and heartfelt
wish that such joy, such plenty, and
such royal happiness might be and abide
with them forevermore.
Among the other pleasant episodes was
the continuous arrival of congratulatory
kilograms from the home of the groom,
and from numerous orders of VIII ich be isa
member. They we're handsome tokens of
remembrance, and filled with congratula-
tions that were calculated to make man
believe that his existence was necessary
to the movements of the planetary bodies,
The wedding gifts we're elegant aud
numerous, no less than ten different
states being represented in the collection.
In conclusion the PATRIOT would ten
der its congratulations to family of its
best friends. Lavilla Smith was one of
Atchison's favorites, indispensable to all
social events, handsome, accomplished,
and beloved, and whom she goes to her ele-
giant new home In New Jersey, to make
new friends and find new companions, in
her new life, she will carry with her
mountain Of good wishes, as broad as the
universe and as high as the skies. They
consign her to her new friends with re-
greet, and ask for her that cordial recep-
ton and earnest friendship she so richly
deserves
John Lilly is son Of the late Judge
Lilly of New Jersey, and ., gentleman of
most excellent standing. A lawyer by
profession, a gentleman by birth and in
stinct, and in the opinion Of the PATRIOT
a model husband, we waive all further
rights and privileges in his young bride,
and in thus endowing him we eDjoin hin,
that Atchison demands satisfactory
stewardship. l=lT,.=t#.= .l...-.
May their ways be ways of pleasantness
and all their paths be peace and in their
distant home, happy in all their ages,
where joy and hope are the ministering
angels, may they live that long useful
life that is only accorded the righteous
and the just.
