Ithough intended a» a quiet afiair. to be witnessed by the Immediate rela­ tives and a few familiars, yet quite an imposing assemblage had gathered to­ gether during the afternoon, and the presence of the Rev.

The mauiy form of the bridegroom and the sweet man­ nered deportment of the modest bride, as both clasped bauds in the presence of the reverend gentleman, elicited a murmur ef approval from the numerous guests. At the close of the ceremony, the happy coupta were greeted with warm embraces 'and the kiudliest wishes fos their future welfare. After tills followed the customary banquet on matrimonial occasions, the tables groaning under their weight of cake, whose endless varieties challenged the stoutest appetite to do justice to each and all et them. Mirth and happiness Vrevailed every where, except perhaps. In the tender mother's heart, apparently conscious of the loss of a beloved daughter. Mr. Drury, although a comparative stranger In Xttnda, is well and favorably known in the vicinity of Fox Lake, whence iiis many friends unite in the general expression of good wishes. Mrs. Drury Is a lady whose gentle disposition has won her the afiectious of the whole community, and many are the prayers for success in her now sphere of life.
