MARTINSBURG MATTERS.

  At the residence of J. C. Shoemaker, on West Allegheny street, at 
high noon Thursday, in the presence of a number of invited guests, Miss 
Jennie R. Shoemaker and Mr. George S. Blatchford, of Hopewell, Bedford 
county, were united in marriage by Rev. J. R. Sansom, of the 
Presbyterian church.  The guests were of the immediate relatives and 
intimate friends, presenting a wedding scene of joy and beauty.  Miss 
Jennie, the bride, is the eldest daughter of J. C. and Belle Shoemaker 
and is a young lady of many adornments and chaste, noble life, and 
gentle in manners and kind in disposition.  She is a perfect lady and 
will make a good wife in its widest signification.  Mr. Blatchford is 
most certainly to be congratulated upon his choice.  The groom is a 
young man full of vim and energy, engaged in the general mercantile 
business at Hopewell and Broad Top City, at which latter place the 
wedded party will make their home.  The presents received were numerous 
and costly.  After an afternoon pleasantly spent with friends, the 
bridal party took the evening train for Philadelphia, where they will 
remain several days.
