THE WEDDING BELLS.

Harrisburg Patriot, February 8: Miss Mabel E. Duff, the estimable daughter of 
Dr. W. L. Duff, and John P. McPherran, a son of Dr. Adam McPherran, of Spruce 
Creek, and a passenger brakeman on the Middle division of the Pennsylvania 
rail road, were united in marriage at 8.30 o'clock last evening by Rev. Dr. 
S. C. Swallow, at the residence of the bride's parents, 710 North Third 
street.  The bride was charmingly attired in a costume of white cashmere, 
trimmed with white silk, and wore a beautiful boquet of pearl roses, also 
white kid gloves and white slippers.  After the ceremony and the 
congratulations an elegant supper was served.  The presents received were 
beautiful and costly, consisting of silver tea and ice cream sets, glassware, 
cutlery, linen, statuary, handsomely framed steel engravings and plush 
furniture.  The happy couple took the midnight train for the west.  They will 
visit Chicago, Pontiac, Illinois, and other points, and will remain away for 
about two weeks.  Mr. and Mrs. McPherran carry with them the best wishes of a 
host of friends in this city and elsewhere.
