The groom was a stranger to many of the guests, but by his easy and courteous deportment won the esteem of all. The bridal presents were numerous and costly and attracted much attention. No pains had been spared to make the occasion a pleasant one to all present, and all the arrangements were successfully carried out. Even the officiating clergy man was made more than usually happy for the bridegroom being a Democrat, and in favor of a speedy return to specie payments, paid the marriage fee in hard money. After refreshment had been served, the company dispersed, and the happy couple took the evening train for the north, followed by the good wishes of all.
