The fashionable world here, which has been astir for some time past in anticipation of the marriage of Miss Lilia E.N. Balcom, daughter of Mr. Justice Balcom, to Norman A. Clark, were out in full force Wednesday evening to attend the consummation of the nuptials at Christ's Church, Washington Street. The ceremony took place at 7 o'clock, the brilliancy and effect being heightened by a full flow of gas from the many burners reflected from the chandeliers. A few minutes past seven the bridal party entered the church, and the ceremony was performed according to the usage of the Episcopal Church, by the Rev. Mr. Hitchcock. The bride was handsomely and elegantly attired in white grossgrain silk en train, with point lace trimmings, with a veil of tulle fastened to the hair by a handsome wreath of flowers, which encircled the head and fell carelessly over the neck, being fastened to the corsage in front. The bride was given away by her father, and at the conclusion of the ceremony the wedding party returned to the house of the bride's parents, where a reception took place, which was attended by many guests from abroad and friends and relatives of the family.

Deaths
A telegram was received here by the friends of the deceased on Thursday morning last, announcing the death on that morning of Mrs. Wm. C. White, of Bennettsville, town of Afton, Chenango Co. [NY]. Her age was 68 years. Mrs. White will be remembered by many of our citizens as a former resident of Sherburne [Chenango Co. NY]. She was the daughter of Mr. Stephen Anderson who formerly resided in the western part of our town. Mr. White is a native of Sherburne, brother to Dr. Devillo and Richmond White, and was at one time one of the most active businessmen in Sherburne. On leaving the village he purchased the farm now owned by Chas. Todd, where the family remained a few years, when they removed to Michigan, where they have lived until a few years since, when Mr. White and his wife removed to Bennettsville, where he engaged in mercantile business. The deceased was a woman of great energy of character, a devoted wife and mother, and her death is a sad loss to the bereaved family, who will have the sympathy of all their many friends.
Another old resident gone. H.K. Shaw, better known as "King" Shaw, died at his residence in this village [Sherburne, Chenango Co. NY], on Saturday night, at the age of 58 years. Mr. Shaw was a native of Sherburne, where he has always resided, we believe, with the exception of a few years spent in California in the early excitement of gold digging.
An elderly lady named Mrs. Betsey Bryan, who resided with her son, Nathaniel Bryan, in the eastern part of the town [Sherburne, Chenango Co. NY], died very suddenly on Monday afternoon last. She had been apparently in usual health, had assisted in preparing the dinner, and while seated at it, suddenly fell back and almost instantly expired. She is spoken of by those who knew her as a most estimable lady. We have not learned to what cause her sudden death is attributed.
