Carnarvon.

(from our own correspondent.) A wedding took place at Carnar von Estate last Tuesday atternoon when the Rev. Mr Don 11 from Bulls joined in holy wedlock Mr James Little of Oroua Downs and Miss Homes of Carnarvon estate. The ceremony took place in the house of Mr D. Young, brother-in-law of the bride. A good many of the neighbours were invited and were present. The bride looked lovely in a grey tweed costume with cream front wearing the usual orange blossoms, etc., and holding a beautiful bouquet presented by Mrs Watson. The bride3maid was little Jeannie, or I should say Miss Young — a nice little lassie of 6 or 7 summers and

neice of the bride. She performed her duties adroitly and was neatly dressed in a cream nun's veiling and carrying a fins bouquet also presented by Mrs Watson. Mrs Young, sister of the bride, looked -~ very handsome in a dark dress and Mrs Pallant in brown silk; Miflg Pallant looked splendid in a fawn coloured costume with yellow front, * v and the younger Miss Pallant in blue velvet. Mrs Sexton was very ?' becomingly dressed in brown silk and Miss Sexton looked charming in navy blue trimmed with white. The Misses Kennedy looked grand, one in a grey dress and the other in a blouse and dark skirt. Mrs Watson > and Mrs P. Young looked very handsome — the former in blue and white and the latter in cardinal sateen. Mrs Clausen was very nicely dressed in grey silk. The bride was given away by Mi? D, Young and Mr P. Murphy acted as groomsman. Soon after the marrage was over dinner was announced and about 20 guests sat down to a table . laden with a variety of good thingi. - The usual toasts were proposed and -. responded to and then the minister took his departure. In the evening the young couple, well mounted on horsebaok, took their departure for their residence at Oroua Downs prior to their honeymoon trip, and' bo cleverly did they make their exit that the guests had no chance to douse them with the usual rice or to throw the lucky slipper. Dancing „ was kept up to the small hours in the morning and so ended a very jolly wedding, but whatever our >: Prohibition friends may think one ' cannot imagin the guests at a wedding being merry and forgetting their troubles for the time, without plenty of scotch whisky and spirits and 4X, and we had plenty of that on this occasion.
