MARRIED.

CAMPBELL - IRWIN - At the residence of the bride's parents, on the 7th inst., 
by Rev. D. H. Campbell, assisted by Rev. Joseph Mathers, Mr. James B. 
Campbell to Miss Jessie K. Irwin, all of Antis township.

AFFAIR HYMENEAL.

  The youth, beauty and elite of Antis township and Pleasant Valley, together 
with a few friends from Altoona, assembled by invitation at the residence of Mr. 
and Mrs. A. R. Irvin, near Bllewood [sic], Thursday afternoon, to witness the 
marriage ceremonies of their young and handsome daughter, Jessie, to Mr. James 
B. Campbell, of Davidsburg.  The party entered the parlor preceded by Miss Dora 
Irvin and Mr. Frank Glasgow, Miss Lou Irvin and Mr. Henry Henshey, lady and 
gentlemen attendants of the bride and groom.  The ceremony was performed by Rev. 
D. H. Campbell, assisted by Rev. J. H. Mathers.
  The bride and bridesmaids were dress in dark brown, the bride in her traveling 
suit, her hair trimmed with orange flowers and having a silk lace pointed tie 
tastefully arranged around her throat, the whole admirably becoming her fresh, 
sweet face.  Quite a large number of presents were given, consisting of silver 
ware, table linen, glass ware and ornaments.  The happy couple left on the 
evening express for Philadelphia and the east.
  Without doubt every person present, on leaving the hospitable home of the 
bride's father, felt the warm good wishes expressed, and we may only add our 
earnest hope that the pathway of the bride and groom may be that of happiness, 
peace and plenty.
  We would add further, privately, that any young friends of Dr. Clark, before 
fully arranging for their marriage festivities, had better secure his services 
as charge d'affaires, for he certainly graces that office on such occasions 
admirably.
