United States. The Grand Trunk has a
part water route by way of New Lon

Rev. w. c.

At eleven o'clock. in the diningroom, much amusement was extracted from the cutting of the brides cake. which contained dime, tdenoting wealth. ! ring, (denoting constancy,) and a needle, tdenotinp industry;) and in cut ting the cake in search of these articles, which privilege was only granted to the bridal party, no one was fortunate in securing any of the coveted trinkets except Mir. Eugene Williams, who found the needle, the significance of which changed immediately, and the wits had 1t that he would be an old bachelor and would be overtaken by fate to such an extent that he would be compelled to sew on his own buttons and spend his old age and idle hours in alarming and patching.
 The scene in the diningroom was most congenial and was happily ar- ranged, the bridal party being seated at large table in the center, surround. ed by admiring friends and relatives at small tables in either corner. The dainty supper was served in three courses. and was keenly relished and enjoyed.
 Music and song, laughter, sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks blended in perfect harmony to make this one of the most lovely weddings ever witnessed in For. rest City. Only intimate friends and relatives had been invited, and all will carry with them for many day the memory of it's felicitous relations and enobling impulses.
 After supper the bridal party and guests again repaired to the parlors, where time sped happily on wings of delighted fancy until quite . late hour. The presents were rare, costly and numerous.
