NEWARK, Nov. 7.-Society circles of our
usually quiet town have been thoroughly
alive for 81 me time past, but the zenith was
reached this evening by the ringing Of mar
riage bells announcing nuptials, which, for
brilliandy and grandeur, have scarcely been
eaualled in our State. The marriage Of ].
8. NJ. Neill, of Montana, and Miss Maggie
G.. Evans, of Newark, was looked forward
10 as the coming Of great event,
and, indeed, so successful was the
affair, that the highest hopes, the most ex-
travagaht anticipations were thrown into
state OF surprise and astonishment. The
bride has been the happy recipient of many
handsome and costly presents. In looking
ON one of the three tables, which were
laden with gifts, | noticed a handsome
silver tea service from Gen. i. W. Nell, U.
4. A.; the following silver articles: cake
baskets, pudding dish, ladies, knives and
forks, three sets OF tea spoons, waiter, but
ter knives and butter dishes; clocks, jewel
case, mirrors, an illustrated copy of Milton s
Paradise Lost, by Gustave Dore; also china
ware, traekle-ware, handiwork, books, and
innumGrable other presents, all deserving OF
mention, but limited space alone prevents.
] might mention the fact that noticed six
pieces of paper earelessly thrown on the
table which on investigation proved to be
checks, payable to Maggie g. Evans, viz
$500 from Mary j. Evans, the brides
mother; S100 from Charles d. Evans, the
brides brother; 500 from Annie NJ Kol-
lock, al00 from Halle B. Evans, 500 from

sisters bf the bride. The church was hand
