After dwelling upon the details of the horrible crimes which have recently disgraced our County [Chenango Co. NY], it is with a sense of great relief that we turn our attention to one of the pleasantest events a lifetime can afford. We refer to the celebration of the marriage of Miss Mary A. Lamb, daughter of H.R. Lamb, and Jay G. Holmes, Esq. of Marcellus, N.Y. The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride's parents, on Wednesday, June 4th, by Rev. A.T. Worden, the Utica Oberver's valued poetical contributor. the occasion was a very enjoyable one, with its music, flowers, congratulations and refreshments. The bride wore a dress of white silk and looked "wondrous fair." It was the old, old story that is always new. A large number of friends were present and vied with each other in bestowing beautiful and costly presents. The wedded pair took their departure in time to catch the evening train from Sherburne to Utica, enroute for Marcellus, where a house had already been "set in order" and was waiting for its mistress. Best wishes and old slippers were hurled after them as they drove away and we can only add a God bless them!
