Soon the Solemn ceremony was over,
and Rev. Father II. f Norman had
tied the nuptal knot for four willing and
loving hearts.
At eight o'clock a most elegant and
costly reception was rendered the bridal
party at HeLck's Opera House, by the
parents of the brides. The spacious aud
fence room had been completely meta
morphcsed by deNtcrous. and artistic
unfading beauty. The elegant wedding
gifts were taStrfally mounted Oh either
side of the broad stage and mad" Il dis
play of nnrvard beauty and lavish pro

SO vast, costly and elegant an array of
bridal presents been witnessed, and moth
ing could have more ittIngly attcstrd the
esteem in which the brides and grooms
are held, not only by our own people, but
by many from distance.
Near the centre of the hall had been
erected fairy pavilion drapcd IN snowy
lace and gilt. which the bridal party en-
tered IS they matched into the glad pes
cncr OF mulc than three hundred friends,
eager to extend congratulations. ] he
brides here seemed more lovely than be-
fore in their rich toilets OF white hro-
cadcd silk with pearl embroidered fronts
and sweeping trains, sottencd by the brl-
dial veil hcncath which rested the snowy
orange blossoms upon the dark, waving
tresses ofcitacr bride, and the sparkling
diamonds that were gifts of purest ray
serene, from the courtly grooms.
After several hours of social pleasure,
enlivencd by music from the Jackson
String Band, the drop curtain WIS raised

made their bow to the company Who
thus invited, were led to the marriage
feast. Words are inadequate indeed t"
describe this collation., which WAS cle-
gaurly served and most ta>rrInlIy and at
tractiycly arranged, the tables sceainG
too beautiful to the sight to he in"ricd by
human appetite. Toasts were drank by
Col. r. K. Stockdale, of Summit, Mir.
Harry Hamilton, of New Orleans, Judge
Cassidy, Of this place, and Others. This
very interesting and pleasing feature OF
the evening being over the guests, so
disposed yielded to the stirring influence
upon the gorgeous scene before them i'll
which the lovely brides and handsum c
grooms were the chief attractions. A
more delightful and elegant entertain
mcnt i'll every respect, could not have
been conceived and Mrs. }. w. McGrath
and Mrs. VI. Cantoni have tnc unbounded
thanks of their very numerous guests for
most joyful cNrnlng.
Cantoni were two of Brookhaven'S most
popular and lovely daughters. Having
grown from children to maidenS and on
to the sacred realm of wife hood in our
midst, they are endeared to our hearts by
many and loving ties, and we cougratu-
late them on accepting the hearts and
hands of two of our citizens and thus cs-
tablishing themselves among their life
long friends.
Messrs. Storm and McGrath are gentle
men of worth, honor and popularity; the
former of the thriving firm of 'Storm ~
Bro, the latter of the old, staunch firm
of John McGrath."
May blessings grateful and many fall
as gentle dews upon the newly welded
ones. May their sorrows be few, their
joys many; their, trials small, their
triumphs great. A vast army of friends
cluster brightest hopes about these hearts
which, if realized, there will never Il
cloud dim the glorious sunshine of love
and peace and joy forevermorc.
