Matrimonial

Cards have been out during the past week for a grand matrimonial event, in which all of our citizens and socially interested, for the wedding on the 22d inst. deprives us of two of our best members of the social circle, whose place it will be difficult to fill, and whose absence will be deeply regretted. The spacious parlors of the bride’s parents’ were elegantly decorated and festooned with evergreens and roses, and a fine floral arch and horseshoe were tastefully arranged over the entrance. At one o’clock, about sixty guests having assembled, the bridal party entered the parlors and in the presence of the friends and relatives, Miss Cora Green was united in wedlock to Hosea B. Williams, both of this city. The ceremony was beautifully and impressively performed by the Rev. E. C. Arnold, of Ottawa. The bride and groom received the congratulations of the whole company who with your reporter wishes them a long and prosperous voyage through life. After partaking of an elegant repast, the bridal party departed in the midst of a floral shower on the 4:10 train for Niagara Falls and the East. They will be gone about three weeks, and on their return will reside in Mr. Williams’ fine new residence in East Ottawa.
