SUNDAY.-Mrs. Capt. Grassland gave a
tea party this evening, in honor of her
son, Ed, and his bride. There were pres.
ent, besides her own family-the Capt.
Is absent on business-Mr. and Mrs. John
l.. Davies, MIR. Nara NJ. White and Mr..
and Mrs. j. II. Mackley. And pleasant,
happy evening it was, too. Ed. Cross
land was married at Piketon, on last
Thursday evening, by the Rev. George
Cherington, of the M. E. Church, the we'd
ding being after this fashion: Ed. took
his lady-love, Miss Dora Downing, and a
lady friend out for a sleigh-ride. The
parties live in Waverly. They rode to
Piketon, put up at hotel, and Ed. placed
the landlord in his sleigh and sent him
after minister. Mr.. Cherington arrived,
married them, and they went home and
told Maj. Downing, the brides father,
about it, as he had strongly objected to
the marriage. The Maj. didn't like the
idea of his child marrying so young, but
what could he do? Why he could give
them his blessing, which he did. Mrs.
Dora is pleasant, sweet-faced little Ia
dy, and we are inclined to think Ed. has
secured a prize. 49,. Rev. Mr.. Hopkins
preached at the Presbyterian Church, to-
day, morning and evening. AT the
NJ. E. Church, tonight, while services
were going on, drunk man came to the
door. He was not dressed in ga2b
which would look bewitching in church,
and Sexton May requested him to go in
or out, and not be standing at the door.
The drunken fellow leered at him for a
moment, and exclaimed: "You hic) re-
mind me (hic) good deal O Jesus hic)
Christi" Mr.. May then reminded" him
of the necessity of his, going out, and go
ing fast. And he went. -. Miss Annie
Farley, of Gephart's station is visiting
