WEDDI2N-G Aguew— Tarbotton. . A large and very h-ppy marriage party l met m tbe forenoon of Tuesday, June 21, at) the residence of Mr Robert Taibotton, Eiling, on the occasion .of the marriage of his eldest daughter to Mr James Reid Agnew, of Pleasant Point. The weather was beautiful— it waß truly " Queen'i < weather." The sun never shone more brightly at midsummer than it did that day when thtr bridal party assembled at the house to witness the interesting ceremony. The pretty garden, with its clear stream of water, and its many plants and evergreens, looked remarkably well for the season of the year. Indeed, but for the absenoe of flowers, one might have supposed that it was Christmas or the New Year that had brought so many friends together to rejoioe with each other. The ceremony waa pei formed by the Rev. James Skinner, M.A., of Flemington. The bridesmaids were Misa Agnew, Misses Tarbotton (2), and Misa Reddicliffe, while Mr Franois W. Tarbottoa acted as groomsman. The bride and the bridesmaids looked as charming as happy faoes and hand ome. dresses could make them. The presents to the bride were both numerous and valuable. They bad evidently been . selected with a view to usefulness as well as ornament, and Mrs Agnew's home ab Pleasant Point will bear witness for many a day to the wise judgment as well as the liberality and the kind wishes of the donors. After the ceremony was over, Mr J. Mitchell, of Aehburton, waa busy with his camera, and group after group of the happy party waa takeu. No doubt sunny memorials of the wedding and his skill wilt be seen m many a home m the near future. A. Bumptuoua marriage feast waß spread m a moafc comfort* able hall extemporised for the occasion* Here Bpeeohifying was freely indulged m. The many graces of the bride, and the generous hospitality of the host and hostess, were duly extolled, and pleasant hopes were expressed that the fair bridesmaids might soon be the central figures on similar occasions on their own account. The newly married couple went South by the evening train, and the showers of rice that followed them were an index we hope of the abnneU ance thac will always be theirs m their new home at Pleasant Point. Hollqway's Pxlls and Ointment.— " Whao cannot be cured must be endured " need nob be said to those who suffer from the effects of bad legs, scorbutic and scrofulous sores, as Holloway's Ointment and Pills are splendid specifics for these distressing , afflictions. ' The earnest gratitude of thousands who have experienced the wonder* ful ii.fl ence of these remedies, so that they have been raised from a position of prostrate helplessness to one of independence and comfort, is being constantly expressed, bot h personally and by letter. Their value ia known throughout the world for every form of disease. In cases of indigestion, ague, fevers and disorders of the stomach and bowels, the pills are an infallible remedy. For gout, rheumatics, neuralgia, &c., the Ointment is a blessing to thousands of poor suffers.
