TIE TAYLOR uAGAR NUrTIALs.

Our spondence, last week, had to be sent so early that we could not but mention the marriage of L. A. Hagar of West Morris and Miss Nellie M. Taylor of Lakeside without giving further de- tails. Wednesday aftarn oon of last week was not as fair in weather as might be desired but wherein the dement's failed we felt that the brides parents, MT and Mrs NJ. G. Taylor, endeavored to make up in cheerful welcome and hospitality to all guests present. Relatives were present from Bristol, New Britain, Dan bury, TOrrngton, New Milford, Wash jngtou and Warren, while amcDg the friends we greeted Mir aud Mrs Frank A, Powers of West Morris, MT aud Mrs H. W. Woodruff of Washington Depot, Mrs C. E Beemau and children of Warren, Mrs l.. A. Tyrrel and son of this village, with Rev and Mrs Henry UpsoD. The marriage ceremony was performed in the north parlOr Of MT Tay,Or's residence. The bridal pair stood under a green arch, made ready for the occasion. They were preceded to the place by two small couple, tastefully attircd and who per formed their duties most perfectly. The maid of honor was Miss Florence Platt of Marbledalc, a former pupil of Miss Taylor, and the best man was Nelson Taylor, a brother of the bride. The cer- emouy which joined two hearts as one was performed by Rev Henry Upson in his usual pleasing manner and the bridal pair was not obliged to stand long before the gaze of the company present to have It done. The bride was attircd in white silk and wore a veil. Each bridesmaid, bouquet. The bridegroom looked finely in a handsome black suit and the best man was attired ID 8 full dress suit. The congratulations which followed the mar riage service were most hearty and sim cere. After congratulations all were in- vited to the dining room, where an ele- gant lunch had been prepared aud was served by a most capable number of walters. Mr and Mrs Taylor's past rep uCatiOn for hospitality in this respect was Otl GUl5 lNSJ OCCdSlOu WCjl SuSbdIuGus At the proper time MT and Mrs Hager en, deavored to make their exit from the house without being seen but the attempt was vain. They were cornered and del- uged with a good quantity of rice, after which they were allowed to depart in close carriage to New Milford, where they took the evening train south on their bridal trip. So ended most agree able wedding at Lakeside and we truly hope their entire life will be as pleasant and successful as the 75 guests present wished for them on their wedding day. Storms may sound without but may there ever be within light and cheer, hope and heart and perfect mutual love and conf- dence which ensures success.
