WEDDINGS.
sTEyENs-MITCHELL.
On che first day of July, in the afternoon,
there arrived from merry England q fair young
miss. whose coming had for come time been
anxlously awaited and who with equal anxiety
had looked forward when kindly greetings of a
loved one in King county, Washington, that
sturdy young giant of the American West,
should be hers But, as the social and domestic
atmosphere OF Seattle attracted the light heart
and fresh lips from the gruesome smoke and fog
OF Cornwall. so also did the gentle warmth of
more temperate zone attract from their frigid
birthplace the crystal fields of coagulated fresh
ness, and draw them toward that sultry equato-
rial belt, where Neptune with his trident holds
his briny court. And so it came about like the
unexpected, which almost always finds the
world at cross purposes, the western-bound At
lantic steamship Vancouver became entrapped
in q field of south bound ice foes, and tn ence
was borne for weary day, more upon sub
merged SHELF until that superior power which
compelled the proverbial traveller to part with
his ample cloak, released the imprisoned keel,
and again westward the belated steamship pilot
coursed his watery way. How true the tale
that frosted prison told, Is a setting sun held
high the arch of promise amid the chilli ness of
such Respondent surroundings All such trials
have an end, hence there was oy at o'clock on
the evening of "Wednesday last when were gath

party of friends to witness reward of well tried
patience in the solemnization of marriage be-
tween Mr.. Richard Stevens, of Black Diamond,

offer congratulations. and the happy pair went
their homeward way. May never more the

progress. until Natures chemistry evolves from
out their protracted usefulness that brief winter
whence they shall awake in a never-to- been
spring.
