Mr.. Jno. f Latimer, of Washington
City. and Hiss Katharine NJ. Green, daugh-

West Virginia Supreme Court Of Appeals,
were united in marriage in Zion (Episcopal)
Church in this town on Wednesday evening
last BY Rev. Dallas Tucker. Miss Bertha
Ruhl did herself honor by her rendering Of
wedding marches. The bride, preceded by
Messrs. Alexander, Perry, Lewis, Melon
aid. Latimer and Hopkins, ushers, and Miss
Bessie Green, maid Of honor, approached
the chancel upon the arm Of her brother,
Thos. Claiborne Green, Esq, and was met
there by the groom, attended by his best
man. DR.. Latimer. The altar decorations
were in exquisite taste and beautiful-an
arch of gas Jets, almost a score Of wax ia
pers. palms and lilies and daisies-the whole
very pleasing, and the general expression
was what a pretty wedding The bride
and her sister were charmingly attired.-
The concourse Of spectators was large
many present from distance, among whom
we noted Col. Marshall Mcdonald, the dis
tinguished L. $. Fish Commissioner, who
is an uncle Of the bride. After the eere-
mony there was a reception Of relatives and
close friends at the home Of the brides
mother, and at nine o'clock the bride and
groom took the \. & w. train. There were
nigh on to hundred beautiful presents for
the bride-many Of them rare and costly,
but the more valued because they came from
appreciatiye and loved friends.
