Not q thing had happened to mar the
solemnity or pleasures Of the occasion
and il will long be remembered, truly
everything went Smerry as a wedding
bell.n
Mrs. McGlochlin assisted about the
parlor receiving the guests and in her
own pleasant way made all feel welcome
and at ease.

night train amid the usual showers Of
rice, old shoes and best wishes, for q
three weeks trip through the east when
they will return to Centerville, their
future home, where Rev. Mclean is in
charge of the NJ. +. Church.
Rev. Mclean was pastor of the NJ. Z.
church Il this city for two years and by
his straight forward manly bearing won
the confidence and respect of the COM
munity. He is a young man OF sterling
worth of character, Is studious, energetic
and ambitious. He has a promising
future before him and will, we predict,
gain prominence and influence In his
chosen profession.
The bride was one Of Webster's most
handsome and accomplished young ladies,
having lived here from early childhood,
she is Of a happy amiable disposition,
and has won the love and esteEi OF all,
by her womanly qualities. She will be
much missed in the social circles Of the
city. We wish Rev. Mclean and his
lovely bride all that can possibly fall to
the lot of mortals--that their ways may
be aways Of ~pleasantness and all their
paths be peace" that In a mutrai love,
trust and confidence they may stear
cicar OF the reefs and rocks on the lee
shore of life, and finally anchor In the
harbor Of q serene and happy old age.
TIE bridal gifts were numerous, hand
J soue and useful.
