A Huntingdon County Wedding.

  Yesterday morning promptly at 11 o'clock an interesting wedding was 
held on the farm of Mr. William Geissinger, on Piney Ridge, Huntingdon 
county, four miles from the county seat.  The contracting parties were 
Mr. Adam Heiffner, of Shirleysburg, and Mr. Geissinger's only daughter 
Mary.  Both the bride and groom have a large circle of friends in Blair 
and Huntingdon counties and elsewhere, and a large company from near 
and far gathered to witness the ceremonies.  A number of presents were 
received from the friends and relatives of the happy couple, both of 
the useful and ornamental sort, among which were a silver dinner 
service, six pieces; silver water pitcher, silver cake dish, pair of 
silver napkin rings, ebony and bronze clock, set of China cups and 
saucers, full China chamber set, two toilet sets, dozen Roger's silver 
knives, three dozen napkins, pair of chair tidies, lace tie and 
handkerchief, East India table cover, towel, set of toilet mats, towel 
rack, engraving entitled "From an Unknown Shore," glass fruit dishes, 
trailing vine and flowers in water colors and framed, and a number of 
other articles.  The wedding party, including a number of friends from 
a distance, drove to Huntingdon after dinner and took the train east at 
4:15 for Shirleysburg, where a reception was given to all in the 
evening by the thoughtful friends at the new home of Mr. and Mrs. 
Heiffner.  Our congratulations and best wishes attend on their married 
way.
