Wedding TintinnabulatiO

On the night of the lot inst, there gath.
cred at the home of Prof. Scott large mum
Der of the friends of Prof. and Mrs. S. to cell
citrate the tenth anniversary of their we'd
ding. The guests began to arrive about
eight O'Clock, and by nine the parlors were
well filled with the elite of I-onton. On the
appear nce of the bride and groom, they
were addressed, on behalf Of those present,
by Mr.. j. B. Walker, in words admirably
suited to the occasion, he referring to the in
stltution of marriage as the keystone of all
the institutions of our country, and conclud-
ell by hoping that all trouble and sorrows
might in the future roll away from their path
like water off ducks back" which senti-
ment all Endorsed most heartily.
This was responded to by the Prof. on be-
half of himself and bride, with words of
welcome, showing heartfelt appreciation
of that sentiment of love and respect which
had drawn together those around them. He
assured all that it would be an oasis in the
history of his life that long, long, would be
remembered with tenderest emotions. The
contracting parties evidently almost forgot
the intervening ten years. between this and
that former occasion, and for the evening
we believe they experienced all the happi
ness of bride and groom, cemented by that
true love, tried by the stormssaHd battles of
life, and which comes like the anchor from
the depths of old ocean, frightened by the
very trials to which it has been subjected.
In due time was served collation., duly ap-
preciated by all, and in itself testimony of
one of the accomplishments of the bride.
During the evening the company were en-
tertained by the reading of Jamie and the
owl'' by Prof. s. whose rendition of this
piece is simply inimtable. The Rev. Wors-
mop, gave some character representations
which were beyond criticism, and by special
request DR.. Sawyer recited, the address OF
'Spartacus to the Roman GladiatOrs at Cap
ua." On the whole, we believe this to have
been one of the most enjoyable evenings
among the many festive occasions of Ironton !;
such is the testimony of all who were pres
ent, and who unite in wishing the Prof. and
his good wife, many happy returns of the
day.
