Virginia City. April 16.-The first hall
OF April has not been productive OF
much of general interest in this neck
O. the woods, most of the people here
aoouts being patiently awaiting the
coming of spring operations in the
placer mines and the resumption OF
business activity which always follows
In the wake of these operations.
Last evening, however, the humdrum
monotony of early spring existence was
pleasantly relieved by a wedding in
nigh life, the high contracting parties
being young couple who move among
the elite of Virginia City society, and
VINO are highly esteemed among all
classes The groom, George E. Gohn,
Is the son of ex-County Com
missioner George Gohn. one of
the pioneers of Alder gulch. who
pitched his tent-or blankets, rather in
the suburbs of Virginia City before the
hrst log cabin was erected in the gulch
ana who has grown up with the coun-
Try until he is now one of its foremost
citizens; The bride, Miss May Vickers.
is the daughter of Robert Vickers, the
leading elothier of Virginia City, and
also one of the pioneers of Madison
county. Both the young people were
porn In this city, and have lived and
grown up with its people since infancy.
Ihe marriage ceremony was celebrated
In st. Pauis (EpiscopaD church, the
Rev. H. IL. Bowker officiating. The
popularity of the young couple was
manifested In the fact that the church
was crowded almost to suffocation with
people who desired to witness the TAX
ing OF the solemn vows which were to
unite in one their young friends, and
as they marched up the aisle to the
music of Mendelssohn's Wedding
hnx
observers. The bride was attended by
Misses May Gohn and Annie Nelson,
and Messrs. p. H. Gohn and Ira d.
French ofiiciated as groomsmen. The
ceremony over, the wedding party was
driven to the residence of the brides
parents, on Cover street, where the re-
ception was held, where sumptuous re-
freshments were served to the callers.
1t may truly be said that no young
couple ever started out from Virginia
City on the matrimonial voyage under
happier auspices than these young peo-
pie do, nor with more hearty good
wishes for long life of combined hap
piness. The house was literally filled
