The wedding festivities were some- thing more than ordinary. For a number of days prior, friends of the betrothed fair were busily engaged preparing for the event. The neigh- borhood around talked of little else. Owing to the standing and extended acquaintance of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. Carver, a large circle of friends were inyited to the wedding teast. Quite a number from this city were among _ the chos- en. Every thing went off in lovely style and Mr. and Mrs. Linch were made to believe that nobody ever got married but them, so gay and com- plete were the surroundings.

Thanks for the cake, and a shake with our congratulations for the newly mar- ried a happy future.
