CAMBRIAN.
(From our own correspondent.) The marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Barley at Cambrian, on Friday .last, by the Rev. J. Hobbs, deserves especial mention ftom the unanimity evinced by the residents to do honor to the bride and bridegroom (who are both much respectea), and by the efforts of the members of the English. "Church there, that the service should be as efficiently carried out as .circumstances would allow. The schoolroom in which the ceremony was performed was most prettily and appropriately decorated by Mr. and Mrs. Dongee, assisted by Mesdames Fordham and Brown. A temporary akar, wiih cloth of white bordered with red fringe, was adorned with vases of beautiful flowers, standing between two large liliies in full growth, while at the back of the altar was a tasteful flora) wreath, and over all was an arch formed of b'llies and other flowers. The pede and aisle cloths and cushions were, of the proper colors, kindly lent by willing neighbors. The service, which was musical, was attended by a lar; v e congregation, many of the friends of the bridegroom having come a consideiable distance. "Hymns Ancient and Modern," 212 and 213, were sung. In the evening Mr. and Mrsj J. R. Jones, brother and sistcr-in-law of the bride, gave a wedding supper to about sixty guests, and when I mention that there were upwards of fifty dishes of good things placed on the table it will readily be believed that no expense was spared for the entertainment of the guests. Afterwards a ball was held, and dancing was kept up in a most vigorous style until grey dawn on Saturday.
