We enjoyed the pleasure Of witness
ing the above ceremony at the resi-
dence of the bride, on the evening Of
the 23d. Cards had been issued to
the number Of an hundred or more,
and the spacious residence Of the bride
was filled to overfowing with the elite
of County people. The ceremony was
performed promptly at 7 2. M. Rev.
Clay stationed himself in the centre Of
the large parlors and the bridal party
entered in the following order, forming
n semicircle, with bride and groom in
centre, Mr. Jas. Gains, Of Tabler's
Station, and Miss Katie Robinson of
Shanghai Mr.. Howard Tabier. Of Tia
bler's Station, and Miss Ellie Robinson
Of our village, both ladies being daugh-
tiers Of our respected townsman j. w.
Robinson. The bride looked really
handsome in q lovely costume Of
brown silk and passamentere with
gold ornaments. The two brides
maids were attired alike in beautiful
costumes Of fawn colored Henrietta
cloth and looked overwhelmingly sweet
and pretty. Groom and groomsmen
wore the conventional black. After
the conclusion Of the ceremony and
the happy couple had received the
congratulations of their guests, dinner
was announced. How shall we describe
the bewildering array Of costly cut
glass and silverware and the varied
and delicious viands with which the
tables fairly groaned ? The tables
were set in the form Of an Il, and the
handsome damask covers were artisti-
cally looped and trimmed with natural
flowers, in scalloped style, with minia-
ture bouquets at termination of each
scallop. Twenty-Five couples were
seated at each table, Rev. Clary at the
head, with bride and groom on his
right and bridesmaids and groomsmen
opposite-other guests in regular order
Of precedence-and were waited upon
by the following ladies and gentle
men, under the supervision Of Mrs. M.
A. Erie, who, by the way, deserves
great credit for the admirable manner
in which the culinary department was
managed) Mrs. Jerry Slonaker, Mrs.
Jno Ruble, Misses Meia Slonaker and
Fanny Kitchen, Messrs. Robert Rae,
Wesley Kitchen and Ernest Erie.
Walters wore the regulation white
aprons and caps. The menu presented
a full dinner, Of four courses, and far
excelled anything of the kind we ever
witnessed in the country. The guests
remained till the 'Hwee sma hours
whirIing away old Father Timeu with
instrumental and vocal music, tete
tetes, etc. Our best wishes will ever
follow the happy couple and we but
voice the sentiments Of the entire COM
munity when we assert that Mrs. Wor-
rel viii be sadly missed and her place
among us impossible to fill.
