Mr.. and Mrs. f. Pftifer would welcome
them at Heucks Hall on the 25th day of
August to witness the marriage of their
daughter, "Clara'', to Mr. Eugene Hyman
of Summit. At the appointed time and
place, a very large number of friends as
sembled in response TO their invitation
becoming thereby participants in one of
the most successful social events ever
witnessed in Brookhaven Hcuck's Hall
| had met with a complete transformations;
so much so, that it was difficult to recog-
nIze the place where through the late
campaign so many earnest blows for the
cause of Temperance had been given.
At the further end of the hall pic
turesqe arbor had been erected in which
the marriage rites were to oe performed.
The posts, covered with moss, were ar
ranged in Il semi-circle; and the entrance
into the arbor led through little ivy
covered gate fastened with white ribbon.
In the center, suspended from the ceiling
was u large, snowy bell with little lamp
| QighteG), to serve as Il clapper. The
other parts of the ball were not neglected.
Beautiful festoons ornamented tho ceiling,
while snowy curtains and lovely paintings
! relieved the baroness of the sides Of the
house. Near the entrance OF the hall ana
aud oyer the beginning of an lmpr"mptn
aisle was suspended the word "kismet,"
aud at the other end immediately above
the marriage bell was the motto "Vashtr
both siguifying that sit was fate" that
hcnceforth the newly welded pair should
travel together the aisles of this life until
death them'do part"
When the bridal party arrived at the

Then came Mrs. Pfeiter accompanied by
Mr.. Solomon Hyman, father OF the groom,
next was the groom escOrting his mother
and last came the bride leaning upon the
arm of her father who was about TO resign
his eldest and much beloved daughter to
the care of another.
As the procession was slowly marching
IN the aisle, Miss Annie Jacobowsky,
the especial friend of the young couple,
PLAYED a beautiful march until the bride
and groom stood within the abor and be-
meath the bell where they were received
by the Rabbi, the Rev. L. L. Leucht, OF
New Orleans. While many enraptured
visions feasted upon the fair scene which
now presented itself, the melOdious tones
of the march ceased, and the solemn yet
beautiful ceremony began. After an ear
nest invocation of divine grace; after some
timely and eloquent admOnitiOns, and at
ter the exchange of mutual vows aud
PROMISES the bridal pair were pronounced
man and wife.
A fine band of music from New Orleans
struck up grand march. and every body

guests moving to aud fro, the decorations
and the brilliant Examinations, the stir

smiling faces. sil combined to make the
scene one of unequalled splendor and rare

up and exposed to view three long tables
freighted with everything delightful to
the palate and satisfying to the inner

cream and other delieacies constituted the
bill of fare. A well organized force Of
walters attended TO the wants of the
hungry and the good nature of the guests
enabled everybody to DO helped as ex-

After supper the dancing was renewed
and continued until one o'clock when the
