A fairly large congregation assembled in St. James' Church, Rylstone, on Tuesday, 19th instant, to witness the marriage of Mr. W. Malvern, of Havilah, and Miss Ruth Fenton, youngest daughter of Mr. S. Fenton, of Camboon. Punctually to time the bride, leaning on the arm of her father, marched up the aisle to where the groom was awaiting the one who was so soon to become his wife. Miss Fenton was dressed in white silk lustre, trimmed with white silk and chiffon and white ribbon. The orthodox wreath and veil were also worn. For her bridesmaid Miss Fenton had Miss E. Fenton (sister), who was dressed in white nun's veiling, white silk stripes, trimmed with white silk lace and ribbons. Mr. L. Irwin acted as best man. The Rev. H. D. Sealy-Vidal was the officiating clergyman, and as the happy couple left the altar Miss Millard played the usual wedding march. The bridal party left the church amid showers of rice, flowers, etc., and were driven by Mr. T. Fenton to Camboon, the residence of the bride's parents, where a most sumptuous wedding breakfast was laid out in a large marque erected for the occasion. The taste manifested in the laying out of the table deserves special mention, as everything was arranged in a most picturesque manner. The wedding cake needs but little praise from my pen, as it was the handiwork of Mr. W. L. Nicholson, which always ensures the quality being A1. Fully 50 people were seated at the table sampling the ham, lamb, and poultry, and I think it would be hard to guess how many head of poultry lost their lives through this feast, to say nothing of the almost numberless dishes of cakes, sweets, fruits, etc. The friends of the bride did their utmost to ease the table of the weight under which groaned but all to no purpose, for as soon as one dish was empty, it was replaced by a full one, and still more to follow, which made it quite evident that Mr. and Mrs. S. Fenton had prepared for a right royal feast. When all seemed fully satisfied that they could eat no more at that breakfast, Mr. S. G. Benson, in a very natty speech, proposed the health of the newly-married couple, which, after being duly honored, was responded to by the bridegroom. The Rev. H. D. Sealy-Vidal then proposed the health of the parents of the bride which was honored most enthusiastically. After the breakfast a most enjoyable afternoon was spent with music, singing and outdoor games, till the call for tea was sounded, when one and all returned to again satisfy the inner man, after which an adjournment was made to Mr. W. Riches' large barn, in fact I think I should say grand ballroom, as it was most elaborately decorated with Chinese lanterns, greens, and colored paper chains. Too much credit cannot be bestowed upon Mr. and Mrs. Riches, who were responsible for the decorations, as well as giving assistance in many other ways towards the comfort of the guests at the ball. About 30 couples taxed the floor capacity of the good old barn, and with the splendid music supplied by Messrs. Fenton Bros., J. Mumford, W. Moss, A. McDonald and Bayliss Bros., all seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves. The refreshments served at various intervals during the night were quite in keeping with the splendid assortment of eatables provided during the day. Mr. J. Fenton acted as M.C., and kept things going right merrily until the wee small hours of morning, when all dispersed for their respective homes. I will not attempt to name the belle or to describe the dresses, suffice it to say all the ladies looked charming. And I for one do not mind how soon there is another wedding on Camboon, provided one of the local bachelors is the bride-groom, as I think we have let enough strangers come in to take our girls away (what say you bRother bachelors). The following is a list of the presents: - Mrs. S. Fenton - Cream jug and sugar basin, and four picture frames, W. Glew - Lamp, McDonald, sen. - pair salts, D. C. McLachlan - Water jug, H. Walker - Water jug, T. Mumford - Jam bowl, T. Bayliss - Half dozen cups and saucers, W. Keech - Water jug and jelly bowl, J. Black - Half dozen China cups and saucers, S.
