Married.

Joseph E. Pitcher, and Miss Jennie A
Thornby.
Mr.. Pitcher, latterly Of Kearney June
ton, Neb., was well and favorabl,
known, not only i'm Custer City, bu
throughout the entire Hills. Mis-
Thornby, one Of Clusters most popula,
and attractive young ladies, has been {
resident of this place for the past fiv,
years.
Immediately after the ceremony had
been performed the bride and groom
with attendants and numerous friends
repaired to Athens Hall where every.
thing was in readiness for the Inaugural
ton of the grand ball given in honor OF
the occasion. The assembled guests
enjoyed the pleasures of the dance until
IL O'Clock, when they repaired to the
Vienna Hotel, where had been prepared
II supper, which in point Of perfection
has been rarely equalled in this, or any
other country. 1t would seem that con
trihutions had been levied upon every
country on earth to insure its high or
der Of excellence. Massive cakes tower.
ing in space, ornamented with birds.
and flowers, and various devices TO
adorn these master pieces Of culinary
art, were conspicuous for their marked
att~ractiveness. Everything within the
range of attainment was here displayed
to attract the aesthetic eye, and please
the epicurean taste. After the guests.
numbering about one hundred, had
finished supper, they proceeded tc the
hotel parlors, where were displayed the
many beautiful and costly wedding
presents, artistically arranged for exhi-
bition by the hostess of the Vienna,
which are listed below. After discussing
the rare beauty Of the valuable collec
ton. the guests again repaired to the hall
where the indulgence in terpsichorean
pleasures were resumed, and continued
until the "wee sma" hours that mark
the unbidden approach of Aurora, gave
them pause.
Lack of space forbids an elaborate
description of the toilette, and il must
suffice to say that the bride, alfred in
white cashmere, deliberately trimmed
with white satin, artistically Topped
with white satin ribbon, heightened by
floral adornment, was the personifca-
ton of female attractiveness and that
the toilet worn by the brides maid, Miss
Lottie Smith, M Of Clusters most es-
Unable young ladies, which seemed to
correspond SO closely with that of the
bride, was in every feature especially
admirable. Taken in all its appoint
ments, this was beyond question the
greatest social event that has ever oc.
Cured in Custer, and has been rarely
equalled in this country. Nothing ap
preaching it in point Of elegant grandeur
excellence of menu, social enjoyment
munifcent l~iberality, and perfection q
arrangement has come within the range
of our experience.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pitcher left Custer YES.
terday via Buffalo Gap for their future
home in kearney, taking with them the
warmest wishes of the CHRONICLE and
the people of Custer for their future
prosperity, and unalloyed happiness.
