LONG HILL.
TOUSEY-HOUSE.

The marriage o1 MISS kena t. IOuSey to Henry A. House, Jr, of Bridgeport, which occurred on Tuesday, 12th, at the residence of the brides parents in Long Hill, was in every way most delightful occasion. The time announced for join ing the happy pair in holy wedlock was 12 o'clock and, promptly at that hour, the bridal party entered the parlor and took their positions beneath the arch of evergreen surmOunted by large horse shoe of white chrysanthemums, where it was arranged that the ceremony should take place. The cloudy weather of the morning did not prevent the gathering of 60 or more invited guests and, once with in the house, it mattered very little what the conditions were outside; for all day light was excluded and the mellow light of shaded lamps served to enhance the beauty of an unusually pretty scene. The acknowledged and well known beau ty of the bride found a most effective set ting in her wedding gown of soft white china silk and tulle, which was notice able alike for it's richness and simplicity of style. The bridesmaids were Miss Lora A. Tousey, sister of the bride and Miss Lottie c. Bennett, while Dr F. B. keppy of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Arthur E. Plumb of Trumbull acted as grooms- men. The marriage rite was solemnized by Rev Charles W. Boylston, rector of Grace church, Long Hill. The high es- teem in which both bride and groom were held by the many friends was man fest in the abundance and beauty of the wedding gifts displayed, among which were many useful and valuable articles in solid silver, such as spoons, ladies, salad set, etc., a number of fine paint ings, choice vases, beautiful laces, spreads, rugs, gold watch and chain, lin- en for table, clocks, bon bon dishes, sums of money and many other articles too numerous to mention. After the newly welded couple had received the hearty congratulations of their friends and all had enjoyed the refreshments provided by the caterer from Bridgeport, the house was again thrown open to the day light and every one was pleased with the happy omen of the clear sky and bright sunshine that greeted them. At 3 30 D m, MT and Mrs House left amid the good wishes of their friends, intending to go as far as New York, that night, and sail on the City of New York, the following morning, for an indefinite soourn abroad.
