MARRIAGE BETWEEN A DEAF AND COUPLE.
“ A marriage between two young persons who were each deaf and dumb was celO' brated,” says the Evening New*, “ a few days ago at St Stephen’s Church, in the Newtown Cemetery, Sydney. The nuptials were performed in a most imposing manner, in the presence of a monster congregation. The bride was Miss Christina Jane Wright, a dressmaker, and the bridegroom was Mr William Morrow, boot manufacturer. The marriage service was read by the Rev Mr Taylor, the incumbent, and afterwards interpreted by Mr Watson, superintendent of the Deaf and Dumb and Blind Asylum, on the Newtown road. The happy pair were driven from the church m a weil-appoimeii carriage to!lowed by seven or eight crowded carri .ges. It may be mentioned that ten ye u'o ago a marriage between two deaf amt dumb persons was celebrated in the same district, and the parties are now living at Cook’s P.iver with a family of several young children around them.”
