Wedding Bells.

  The home of Colonel Metz, in the beautiful village of Williamsburg, 
was made festive on last Thursday, by the marriage of his daughter Miss 
Lucy to George A. Moser, of this city.  The bride was attended by two 
or her dearest friends, Misses Patterson and Ellsworth, who performed 
their pleasant duties in an admirable manner, gracefully ushering the 
happy pair promptly on time into the presence of the friends, who stood 
waiting in the spacious parlor to witness the impressive ceremony as 
performed by his brother, Rev. D. M. Moser.  After congratulations all 
had time to enjoy the floral decorations, which were profuse.  Loving 
hands had been busy; festoons of evergreens and bouquets of cut flowers 
adorned every nook and corner, while in the foreground were 
artistically arranged plants of rare beauty, both in foliage and 
flowers as well as in delicate perfume.  While in the midst of this 
"floral feast" the guests were summoned to the dining hall, and there 
burst upon their view a feast indeed.  The tables "groaned" under the 
weight of substantials and dainties; all the luxuries of the season 
were there, and ample justice was done them.  The bride was the 
recipient of many handsome gifts - silver and glassware, linen and wool 
- useful and ornamental.  The happy hours passed all too soon.  Train 
time came and the bridal party with a few friends came to this city, 
where they embarked for a trip to the Eastern cities.  Many good wishes 
have followed them.  Although the day was gloomy without, all was joy 
within.
