THE JACoBs-BUKR WEDDING.

The Congregational church at Easton
was the scene OF a NEST lump essjve ana
beautiful ceremony on Thursday after
noon, June %, when Miss Antonio ia
cobs and Eugene Bronson Burr were
united In the holy bonds OF matrimony
by Rev K. z. Aver. The church was
most artistically and tastefully decOrSt-
ed with laurel, roses and great protu-
sion of lovely flower, making the pulpit
a perfect bower OF beauty. This was
the work Of skillful and friendly hands
and great credit is due to Mrs Henry
Osborne and her corps of able assistants.
Ala o'clock was heard from the organ
and violin the sweet strains OF Lohen-
grin's wedding march and the eyes OIL
the large assemblage were turned ex-
pectantly towards the doors, where a
beautiful sight greeted them. In the
right aisle came the groom, accompanied
by his best man, George Edwin Burr,
and preceded by the ushers, William
Jacobs and George Courtney. In the
left aisle first came the ushers, william
II. Burr and X. Bradley Jennings, fol

arm OF ner father, and most charmingly
Attired ia white gown, en- train, with
tulle veil and carrying bouquet OF
bride roses. The procession met at the
altar and the contracting parties stand
ing under a large wedding bell were
made one by the simple and impressive
service by the pastor. During the Cere-
mony was played with pianissimo effect,
the appropriate selection "Oh, promise
me-" AS the bridal party left the altar
their pathway was literally strewn with
flowers by Miss Lulu Fuhrmann, the
brides cousin. A reception TO the i'm
mediate relatives followed at the house
of the brides parents, MIR and Mrs j. w.
Jacobs. The house was handsomely
decorated with flowers and the brida

of the high esteem in which both young
people are regarded in the community
and how many and hearty are the con
