Hamil of this city to Miss Fannie Wilder of Pike, also at the same time and place by the same, Mr. Ed Adams to Miss Lizzie Milner of Pike. Our canopy was the murky clouds, our witnesses principally the oaks fo the forest, our orchestra the sweet birds who for a time forgot the rain, and warbled forth their sweetest songs in unison with the hearts made happy. The “court” was supported by two bailiffs, and the couple attended by a solitary friend. May they ever be happy is the wish of him who legally officiated on the occasion. After the ceremonies were concluded, the happy pair and party assembled at the residence of Mr. Luke Adams of this city, where a beautiful and exquisitely arranged table awaited them. Having done our whole duty on this occasion, we returned home to pass the night in pleasant dreams.
