home in this place on Tuesday after
noon. He hiss been a resident of this
town for more than forty years

habitual, rather than impulsive, in
tender ministrations to the sick in the
army and out of it, as the writer of
this paragraph knows by personal ex-
perience and observation. He has
for many years been member of
Malta Lodge, A, T. & A. Mas0ns,

Wedding Chimes.

On Tuesday at II O'Clock, in the
Episcopal church, was witnessed one
of the grandest weddings it has ever
been our fortune to attend. The whole
chancel and alter presented one scene
of greenhouse flowers profuscly in
bloom, which gave it the appearance
of tropical bower-a hanging basket
of daisies only exceeded in purity by
the virgin who stood beneath plight
ing her troth to love, honor and obey
the one man of her choice. Before
our delighted surprise was over, the
peal from the organ announced the
arrival of the wedding party. First
| after the ushers came Miss Mary Rich
ardson, the lovely and only daughter
of DR.. G.. T. Richardson, and Mr.
Charles Portertield. Miss r. was ar
rnyed in pure white silk. and carried
in her arms beautiful boquet of
pink rose buds. Next came the bride,
Miss Rena, third daughter of Col.
Geo. 4. Porteriield, escorted by her
father. The brides outfit was grand
complication of silk and crepe of pure
white, which was marvel in fit and
beauty; the lovely white veil, which
was held in place by orange blossoms,
fell in graceful folds over the i'm
mcnse train; in her arms she bore Il
rich boquet of pure white flowers.
The organ ceased, Mr.. Tucker, the
officiating clergyman. began the GER
emory Who gives the bride away
when Col. p. stepped aside and
gave place to Mr.. Wave Washington.
the happy groom elect. 4 young man
of fine appearance and Il great grand
nephew of Gen. Washington. The
middle block of the church was al
most filled with the relatives and con-
ncctions OF the bride and groom
! The ushers. Mcssrs. Charles Porter
field, S. w. Washington, Geo. S.
Eyster, Frank Bcckwith and Geo. T.
Light, did their part with the grace
becoming the true gentleman, and
only once was 4 smile elected when q
deminutive usher proceeded to con-
duct very large uncle of the bride
to front seat. May as much beauty
and purity attend them through life
as on this festive day, is the wish of
an humble WITNESS.

From Harper's Ferry.

A select company of young ladies
and gentlemen were most delightfully."-
entertained at the residence of the
warm-hearted Capt. and Mrs. Jno.
w. Doll, on Camp Hill, Thursday
night, the 18th inst. The entertain
mcnt consisted of vocal and instru-
mental music, dancing, &c. Prof.
Kirby favored the company with sew
eral violin solos, and amongst other
selections sang his favoritc piece,
g Twenty Years Ago" which he rem
dered with delightful effect. Mrs.
Doll, her son Charley, the Misses
Chambers of Bolivar, the Misses Yam
tbs, TrusseIl and Winters, and por-
ton of the Bolivar Glee Club, de-
lighted the party with choice selec-
tions of song and instrumental music,
while the sOuI-charming strains from
- Black Jack s" band gladdened the
hearts and looscncd the limbs of those
who * tripped the light fantastic toe"
At eleven O'Clock the guests were in
vited into room where several tables
were sumptuouslyp provided with dain-
tiest refreshments, of which each par
took with 4 hearty relish. All ar
engagements were so nicely planned
and so skiIfully executed by the host
and hostess. that the participants, rs
shown by their smiling faces, were
unanimous in the expression that the
whole was indeed q success. If we
had few more such persons in our
midst as Capt. and Mrs. Doll, the long
weary winter nights would he trans
formed into moments of delightful
pleasure, which would leave bright
spots upon our memories never to be
forgotten. May they live long and
prosper

A WISE SUGGESTION.

As drawer. a baseball game will
beat Sunday school all to hollow. Last
Sunday, at Panaca, the ball game drew
nearly all the scholars away from the
Sabbath-school, and the RECORD is sorry
to note, that even some of our good
church deacons Of Panaca, were seen
skulking on the outskirts Of the crowd at
the game. Now as it has been demon
.tratcd to all Of us, and particularly to
Us members Of to Mormon faith, the
RECORD suggests, for the purpo.e Of max.
ing the Sabbath-school more interesting
and drawing larger crowd, that the
leaders Of the Church get up base. ball

square every Sunday just before the open.
