Two Weddings Make Many Hap
py Hearts gladden. Hoyt.--
Priestly-S sherman.

The union of two lives is always
an occasion for rejoicing and
congratulation, and the marriage of
Mr.. Joseph McFadden, jr., to Miss
Abbie Hoyt, at the residence of the
brides parents, in Melville township
last Thursday evening, was a happy
exemplication of the rule. The mar
riage service was pronounced by
Rev. Z. B. Cousins, promptly at 8
o'clock, p. M, in the presence OF a
large company of invited relatives
and friends, followed by the congrat-
ulatlons of the company. The COM
pany was all in most happy mood,
and made the occasion memorable
for its sociability. After the cere-
mony the company paid ungrudging
compliment to an ample feast that
had been prepared by the hostess,
the mother of the bride. She gave
the company most excellent testlmo-
ny of her rare ability in preparing
substantial and delicate edibles. The
table groaned with toothsome viands
to which the company did ample
Justice, at the same time enjoying a
feast of sociability and conversation.
After having become discouraged in
a futile endeaver to clear the table
of the inexhaustible supply with
which it was spread, the company
made merry until time for adjourn
ment to their several homes. A
very complimentary. company was
present from this place, and several
relatives of the contracting parties
favored the occasion with their pres
ence. By reference to the appended
list Of presents, it will be seen that
many people from abroad evidenced
their regard and good will by valua-
BILE and material testimonials. The
contracting parties are young people
of we'll known and irreproachable
character, and enjoy an extensive
acquaintance in the county and are
favorites in the vicinity in which
they live. They have the best
wishes of their friends that their
Journey throug life may be as happy
as their anticipation paints, in which
THE REPUBLICAN most heartily
Joins. The list of presents is most
valuable one, and best bespeaks the
good will of their friends.
