rie Catharine, eldeal daughterof Waldo
W. and Jennie WittcnniyiT, was given
in marriage to Edward McVitty Ireene,

The ceremony was performed by Rev.
Ir. Lincoln Hulley, of Bucknell Un
iversity. The magnificent mansion of
the bride's father was beautifully and
bountifully deocrated with palms, holly
and mistletoe. Everywhere through
out the residence teemed the most
luxuriant growth of the vegetable king
dom, and in fact the bounties of nature
were everywhere manifest, and so taste
fully was it all displayed that it re
sembled more the handiwork of the
Perfect than that of human hands. At
the head of the stairs was a room set
apart for the presents, which dazzled
t lie eyes of every beholder and lniLrht
well be the envy of every spectator,
Almost every conceivable household
article was sent to the bride and tha
vast collection upon which the eyes of
the guests leasted reminded one of the
grand exhibits at the largest expositions
in this country. It was a sight worth
seeing and the many valuable gifts in
dicated the popularity of the young
couple

of the bride, was the maid of honor;

s, ni4 Life,
Mr. H. H. Blank, the well-known
villssjo at Grabamsville, Sullivan Co.',
N. Y., says: "Our little sou, tie
vears old. has always been subjoct
to croup, ami so bail have the at
tacks been that we bavo learna many
tiii'es that he would die. We have
had the doctor and used many med
icines, but Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is now our sole reliance. It
seems to dissolve the toueb mucus
and by giving frequeut doses when
the croup symptoms appear we have
found that the dreaded croup is
cured befoie it gets settled." There
is no danger in giviDg this remedy
for it contains no opium or other in
jurious drug and may bo given as
ronhdentlv to a babe as to an aauit.
