The wedding of Princess Beatrice is to take
place from Osborne in the parish church of
Whippingham (Canon Prothero's living) on
Thursday, July 90, The whole affair is to
sating for the comparative absence of state,
there is to be a full choral service, and the
music is to be very elaborate. Mr.. Walter
Parratt, the organist of st. Georges chapel
aud musical instructor to the late Duke OF
Albany, and to the Princesses Christian and
Beatrice, has entire charge of this depart

choir of st. Georges will go down TO sing at
the wedding. The organ of Whippingham
church has been overhauled and strengthened
in order that it may prove equal to the de-
mands that will be made upon it. The queen

SCRANTON, Penn, May Is. q party
of young people were enjoying a social hour
last evening at DurrIs restaurant, in this city,
the conversation turned on the subject of
matrimopy, and Fred Martin, in a joking
way, said that he would marry one of the
young girls present named Miss Gsffga If
Mr.. Zlmmerly would marry another young
lady named Miss Shadt. Zimmerly said he
was ready at q moments notice, and, after q
good deal of laughter. Alderman Roesler was
called In from an adjoining room to tie the
nupti i knot. UP 70 that time Martin had
had never spoken of marriage to Miss Gaffgs,
and when the good.natured justice appeared
and announced that he was ready to perform
the ceremony then and there, few of those
present regarded the affair as anything
more than q joke; but Martin asserted that
he was in earnest, and declared that IL Miss
GaffSa would accept him he was ready to be-
come her husband. His companions heartily
applauded this sentiment, and the applause
was enewed when Miss Gaffga, blushing like
a juno rose, took her place by his side and
indicated her willingness to become his bride.
''That looks like business, " said the alderman,
adjusting his spectacles. The laughter OF the
spectators was hushed and the words were
spoken that made Mr.. Martin and Miss
Gaffga husband and wife. Miss Gatfga, who
is a charming brunette, was immediately
congratulated by her friends, the girls OF the
party crowding around and kissing her, while
the men shook Martin warmly by the hand
and said how glad they were that he had won
such a treasure. Then came Mr.. Zimmerly's
aud Miss Schadt's turn, but at the last mo-
ment the lady declined, and said she wanted
to bs married by a clergyman. This was
something of a disappointment, but the party
united heartily in celebrating the impromptu
nuptial of Mr.. and Mrs. Martin, and kept up
the festivals until a late hour.
