So read about 250 invitations

whine were received- bv citizens of

this locality last week. But this by no means represented the number who were assembled in the Church at the hour named. Not more than one-third of those present received the invitations, but they were, no doubt welcome all the same. By special invitation, the University students were out in force. Promptly at the time named, a cornet led a popular march, accompanied by the organ and other instruments. The Rev. J. W. Webb entered the church first, followed by the ushers, Messrs. OI. Barton, Will Adams, Prof. Woodburn and Frank Woolcy. Then came the bridesmaid and her escort Miss Myrtle Payne, (daughter of Joseph Payne, Esq.) and Mr. Chas. Alexander. Last came the bride and groom who, of course, were the observed of all observers. The ceremony was short and impressive, and immediately after its conclusion the bridal party left the church. The bride is a handsome brunette, of about medium stature. She was dressed in a traveling suit of brown cashmere, trimmed in satin of the same color. The bridesmaid looked very pretty in a handsome light-col-pred silK. !lhe gentlemen were all

.dressed in neat black suits.

The bride is a daughter of Thomas

Spicer who for many years has held

the position of Janitor of the Indiana State University. She has a large circle of warm friends in this locality who will miss her much, but who will have the very warmest wishes that she may enjoy a blissful wedded life. The groom is an oiliccr in the Water Cure establishment at Dans ville, N. Y. He is a young man of good address, and has more than ordinary business abilities. The new

ly couple took the noon tram for Indianapolis, first haying partaken ofeau excellently prepared wedding dinner at thvi residence of Mr, and Mrs. Win. Tate. They were the guests of some friends in Indianapolis until Tuesday, when they tGK)k their departure for Dansville, theiir inture home.
