A neat wedding of more than usual importance took place at Mr W. Bathe's, Birmingham, last Thursday morning, the contracting parties being Mr T. R.

The marriage was to have taken place tbe day before bnt tbe very inclement -weather deterred tbe many guests from Palroersfcon-and Feilding on that day. Thursday morning being specially fine the numerous guests came at an early honr. The parties were married on the " Lawn," the ceremony being performed by the Rev T. H. Richards, of Birmingham. Miss Chamberlain presided at the organ and favored tbe company with some very fine music and singing. The bride was very prettily dressed in peacock blue, trimmed with canary lace. The bridesmaids were the Misses Bathe (2), and were dressed in pink and brown. Mr E. Chamberlain acted as the best man, and the bride was given away by her father. After the ceremony the friends adjourned to a large marquee, erected for the occasion, where they partook of a sumptuous wedding breakfast. The tables were exceptionally well got up and reflected very great credit upon the host and hostess, and Miss Harvey, of Palmerston, who were untiring in their efforts for the happiness of all present. After the usual toasts were proposed and many good wishes expressed the happy couple left to catch the evening train from Feilding en route for Christchurch, where they are going to spend their honeymoon. Tbe presents to the bride were both numerous and costly. We join in wishing Mr and Mrs Chamberlain a long and happy life.
