A Happy Event Last Evening.

  Last evening a pleasant event occurred on Eighth avenue, corner of 
Fourteenth street, it being the uniting in nuptial bonds of Byron D. 
Jackson and Miss Minnie Miller, daughter of Mr. J. L. Miller, an old 
and respected citizen of our town.  At 8 o'clock sharp, the wedding 
couple, followed by Misses Annie Kirk, of Philadelphia, and Maggie 
Drummond, of New York city, acting as bridesmaids, and Messrs. William 
Knepper and Thomas Rutherford, groomsmen, entered the elegantly 
furnished parlor, where the large number of invited guests were seated 
awaiting the typing of the "gordian knot."  Rev. Dr. Hamlin, in a very 
impressive manner, united the young couple in matrimony, and cautioned 
them of the troubles of life.  Supper was then announced and the 
TRIBUEN reporter being invited to look at the table smole [sic] a smile 
when he observed such good things as chicken, turkey, cakes, pies, 
fruits, nuts, etc., and in abundance.  About the time the guests were 
enjoying themselves the Citizens' Band called and gave a delightful 
serenade, followed, as a matter of course, by the "calithumpians."  
They were invited in and partook of supper.  After the repast was 
finished Miss Maggie Drummond, of New York city, favored the assembled 
guests with some elegantly rendered operatic gems, for which the 
handsome young lady was heartily encored.  The bride and groom received 
many costly and handsome presents.  The TRIBUNE returns thanks for a 
large and elegant cake, and wishes the young couple a long life and a 
happy one.
