Weddings, betrothsls, and growing at
tschments" have been almost the only topics
Of conversation in society during the past
week. The latest gossip reports nine we'd
diugs for the season, two of which have al
ready taken place. OF course everyone is
anxious to know where the other seven are.
A young lady who ought to know counted
them up Saturday, as follows A double we'd
ding on South Market street, two; two we'd
dings on North Limestone street. four; two
on Cliff avenue, next door neighbors, six and
the list is complete by the young mo pun in
tended) couple who are to occupy
Mrs. Rebeccs Rowley's house on
South Limestone street. They are
going rapidly, and now that the ball is started, |
there is no telling where it will stop rolling |
Of course, all these matrimonial festivities
will make the season somewhat more gay
than usual; put if they do as those who have
gone before, what is to become OF Springfield
society? They rob it OF some of its most
brilliant lights, II, after marriage, they all
settle down to the dull, stay-at-home life thst
the younger married people Of Springfield
seem so fond OF, there will be no such thing
as party until the younger set grow old
enough to don dress suits.
The marriage of Harry Hauk to Miss Bessie
Eudslow, at the residence of the brides
mother in Dayton, last Wednesday evening

e1pecteSsrom the East the latter part of this
week, when they will receive their friend' A.
"Sunuyside," East High street.
The marriage of Mr.. Frank Webb and Miss
Lizzie Steele at the home OF the bride on East
Main street. last Thursday evening, was
quite surprise to their friends, only three or

in travelling costume. Cake WAS not dis

guests.

party of Mr., Geger's friends from this city
will attend, leaving here tomorrow evening.
As Miss Laura Bowman is paying her part
