decease are Mr.. Henry Torian and
Mrs. Ida Rivcs who were, on the 10Th
inst at the residence of the bride,
united in the holy bonds of wcG-
lock. Rev. IL. +. Perry pronounced
the ceremony which bound two
hearts together: Immediately after
the nuptial knot was tied the happy
couple hied themselves away to
preaching at Dennettstown, where
they were the observed Of all observ-
ers, the exposure of every eye. After
the close of services, the bridal party
accompanied by a few invited friends
repaired to the home of the bride
where nice supper awaited them.
Pleasant converse occupied the re-
mainder of the evening and at its
close the guests departed with many
kind wishes for the lifelong happi-
ness and prosperity of Mr.. and Mrs.
TOrian. May this joyous couple have
"a safe and pleasant journey upon
lifes' rugged sea and may they finally
anchor their boat in the harbor Of
eternal happiness,
