The house and grounds were beau tifully lighted up parlor, hall, and gallery were crowded to view the marriage of our young friends. About hnlf-past nine o'clock, the bridal party en tered the parlor, followed by their attendants, at igan, and Miss Martha Swayze: Messrs. Patton.

of New Ch ileans, Messrs. Craig and Lester of Yazoo City. The toilettes of the bride and bridesmaids weie stylish and eleganr. The groom seemed to realize that he had succeeded in winning one of Yazoo's fairest duugh ters, and for some time tire "star of Satartia," and a gen- f.tVoritt! with all who knew her. After congratulations, we wended our way towards the piano, wheie was exhibited the ti tt nlfrln nrtiOun cli.ic.

Magnilicent cakes adorned tho table, pyramids of fruit, and Confeetioneriwd were scat-ered promiscuously the full length, and many other rare and delicate dishes displayed the exceeding taste of interested friends. After supper we returned to the ball-room, and dancing was resumed and continued until early dawn. The County was well lepresented, Yazoo City aided, as many of her young ladies and gentle--men were present. No doubt they regretted when the Sunflower whistled, warning them it was time to turn homeward.

The lovely bride and gallant groom bade relatives and friends adieu, and took the firat downward boat for the Centennial, leaving Vicksburg Sunday morning, bearing with them the best wishes of numberless friends, for a life of unalloyed happiness and prosperity.

II. Caro left recently on a short v-isif to his former home, Little Hock, Arkansas, and may possibly take a run to the Centennial. Judge Gusdofer, a distinguished and learned citizen of Yazoo City, will have charge of his business during Caro's absence. A couple were married in this neighborhood recently. i l5SlL1" Juarned them in one court- t-, but when he noticed that the license had been procured for another county, he informed the parties it would be better to be married irr the county where the license was procured.

To this, of course, they assented, aird walking about two hundred yards into the county of Yazoo, just as the North Star was pinning back the folds of Night's drapery, under the broad canopy of Heaven, the solemn ceremony was again performed. Local icems are scarcer than the recently coined silver that is now to be seen around here.
