pressive voice, slowly and distinctly
repeated the marriage ceremony |

as seven o’clock the crowd .began to
assemble and at half-past eight the
chapel was well-nigh full. At fifteen
minutes before nine Prof. Muller, of
the Lucy Cobb Institute, appeared on
the stage and began to play upon the
costly organ, given them by G. 1.
Seney. While the tones of the or
gan were yet being heard to break
the otherwise still silence around, the
ushers, by pairs, Messrs. J. D. Mell
and G. C. Hamilton, II. E. Wilcox
and IV. M. Cobb entered by opposite
doors, walked out into the middle of
the stage, passed each other, and
rable and significant manner. After
the ceremony^ was complete, the mar
ried couple, the attendants, the two
fair young damsels, and the ushers
all retired as they came.
The invited guests then repaired to
the residence of Prof. Rutherford,
where an elegant reception had been
prepared for the newly married
couple.
The j’ard was brilliantly illumina
ted by a great profusion of Chinese
lauterns which, with two immense re
flectors, situated in opposite sides of
the yard, made the blacknt as
night yield to the light of day
The yard was also plentiful!*., pro
vided with rustic benches, s." bigs,
chairs, etc., where friends migh find
a congenial meetingplace, and .-Ayers,
a lovely retreat.
The parlors of the house were
thrown open for the accomtno ’ .lion
of the guests, iu one of which Mr.
and Mrs. Hutchins recieved tl joys
ous congratulations of their many
friends.
The bridal presents were nun Tons
and handsome in the extreme,'com
prising gold and silverware of nany
kinds, as well as china of the most
delicate cut, and rarest beauty.’
The supper room was in the -parly
part of the evening thrown <?pen,
that all may have access, as It was
impossible for all to partake tog .-ther.
The table consisted of four whirs at
right angles to each other, b Tides
numerous small tables arout.f, the
room. In the cen ter of the pi i: Opal
table was a 1 oTty pyramid, raa- of a

flowers of all descriptions—tile mils
to taiftalize the eager appclit^ ’anS
the flowers to charm the attentive
eye. On the table were to be seen
cakes of all designs, iced with won
derful care and perfect success. Be*
sides these were meats of all kinds,
sandwiches, wafers, salads, jellies,
nuts, raisins, creams, sherbets and
endless profusion of every tempting-
delicacy, as can be vouched for by all
those who were fortunate enough to
participate in the sumptuous repast.
The guests began to leave about 12
o’clock; but still it was not until the
hour of two that all had gone—all
agreeing that the ceremony was the
most impressive they had ever seen ;
the reception the most elegant they
had ever attended.

The Society* convened in its hall at
ten o clock, and was called to order
by President Pound.
After a permanent organization
had been effected, the Society recur
red to the head of “Election of New
Members,” under which the names
of forty applicants were added to
the roll.
Immediately after, the question

were vacant which could only be fill

President. Messrs. Hull and Eerck-
niaus were elected Censors. The
1 lesident, after his installation,
appointed Messrs. Cary, Wooten

The Society then gave notice to
Phi-Kappa Society of its desire to
hold a joint session. This resulted
in the receipt of an invition from the
Phi-Kappas to use their hall, which
was accepted.
On our return, the resolutions
looking to the re-establishment of
the University Reporter, which were
offered in joint session, were agreed
to. An election for Business Mana
ger and Editors was then held, which
resulted in the choice of Mr. Hull,
as Business Manager, and Messrs.
Hutchison and Pound, by acclama
tion, as Editors.
No other business appearing, the
Society adjourned.
