CRoWDUS--wOLP.


Last night at the residence Of the BRIDES
parents, Mr.. aud Mrs. F. Wolf, were united
in the holy bonds OF matrimony Mr..
Eugene H. Crowdus and Miss FL
nina Wolf Right Rev. Bishop
Alex. c. Garrett, officiating. There were
present only the families OF the contracting
parties respectively, and three or four init.
mate friends. The bride, the very imper.

laces to match. The orange blossom
wreath and the usual veil were worn. Orna-
ments, diamonds present from the groom.
Suspended over the final trysting place,
where the VOWS and blessings blended,
administered and received through the i'm
pressiveness of the eloquent bishop, was a
umbrella, formed OF roses and ever
green's, the inner section being
completely lined with mass of roses of
multi-color, but chiefly white, the maiden
blush" predOminatlng; the exterior whorl
being of fresh cedar. The intent evidently
being to bespeak the wishes for the future,
that Just such beauty and fragrance might
hang over and perfume the opening and the
continuation of the new pathway they are
to tread together. On the left, and in close
proximity TO the bride, was fine large
potted white oleander, while on the right
arose the red near to the groom; these being
doubtless emblematc of the fair lady over
whom the former temporarily mounted
Joyous guard, while the ruddier color
symbolized the stouter manhoods
blood ready, if need be, to be given in the
prstection of her he was promising to cher.
isb aud care for until death should them
part. On the walls were the initials G and
W interviewer in monograms. Besides
these, numerous other flowers, shrubs, etc,
did most appropriate service. The
presents of silverware, gold, ETC., etc,
were quite numerous and rich
A short while after the ceremony. the
guests were invited to partake ola supper,
which %Gs-in waiting, Here was spread u
bouuteous repast with seats designated by
souvenir boutoniers and cards, and which
was heartily relished by all the Joy on,
company, along with the several senti'
ments rendered.
Miss Wolf, as sweet disposition as ever
blessed sunny home, as beautiful bride
as ever bowed beneath bridal bower,
through her many merits, her rare accom-
plishmpnts, her bright intellect and her
gentle, charming manner, long since
sung herself into the hearts of her
friends, and crowned herself the princess Of
their affections. Mr.. Crowdus, by the
manlier virtues and his most exemplary
conduct, possesses the este IN OF whole
community. To both, the HERALD offers its
wishes for the realization Of every rainbow
hope that now blooms in the bosom Of
their blissful heyday.
