 A large audience assembled in the M. D. Church at II 8. m., last Thursday, to witness the marriage ceremony of Miss Grace H. Newell, only daughter of Rev. F. o. Newell, to Rev. N. Sherman Thomp- son, of Ridgeway, Penn. The church altar and organ were elaborately and tastefully decorated with profusion of plants and flowers, forming most attractive and cap- tiyating background. The ceremony was itself highly impressive and memorable, not alone from the customary formalities of such ansoccasion, but from the unusual that the brides father, the clergyman, was assisted by his two sons, Rev. W. 0. Newell, of Putnam, and Rev. Elmer F. Newell, of Sagamore, Mass, also that the groom and grooms- man were both of them clergymen. The bride was tastefully arrayed in white with just sufficient flowers to grace her neat and becoming costume without ostenta- tion. Miss Della Eager presided at the organ, playing an appropriate march as the bridal party entered and retired from the church. Owing to the large number of friends and relatives present, the re- ception and repast were held in the church vestry immediately after the marriage ceremony. A few hours later the happy pair set out for Providence, amid showers of rice and cheerful blessings. Both bride and groom are graduates of East Green wich Seminary, and have accepted lu- crative offer to teach for year a graded school in West Barnstable, Mass, MT. Thompson having charge of the grammar department and Mrs. Thompson the prlm ary department of the same school. Mir. Thompson expects to join the M. B. Con- ference in the near future, however, as the ministry is hls chosen calling.
