(From Our Own Correspondent.) Manoaone, April 16, iQn Jfriday evening last the people of the Tawataja and Manoaone enjoyed a treat tjiat wfjl }opg be remembered in tfte district. On the previous Monday Mr A, Burling and llm M, Davidson had been married iu Wellington, and the return of the bride and bridegroom to Mr Davidson's place At the Tawataia suggested a wedding supper and entertainment which eolipsed anything of the kind ever organised in tho neighborhood, Tlie pep|)e of Tiraumea, Mangao.se, and Tawataift'atteDdeA jjfu/iffsse, and among ibe numerous guests 'from a diiitance were Mr and Mrs MoLoughlin, of Wellington; and Mr R. Ktcnitly, of ; phrialchutcli,; The wlid'djng prjjjjentß we'rp numerous and valuable; the'brio's' cajf'e, from Mr Brenuiuhl, djf Eketalmna? was a work of ait, and the tablo groaned under a load of yiiinds .and'delicacies, the very s/ghj of ybich would have raoiatene.a the teeth of an aiderpap, Afior supper the dining room Mis' cleared for done'rig, and abopt Jwpntjr PSupjea. pre sonn whirling in ' ddjfjt)t to t|ip lively strains of Mr Pitcaitly'a violin, The bride looked bowltclilngly beautiful, and her handsome-young husband must have felt Ratified to find himself indissolubly united to the Flower of thp Tawataia, Mirth • provoking games wety folded by recitations in wljiph MrGrovesaja theseriouSj'and Mr Frank Wb'ite convulsed tn'e house wj.tb Juimpuj: t|)at was ipesistjhle | N:Ot tjje {east epjoyabjfl part pf\t)je entertainment m*'lb popcert, for! which MrPltp»ltly, who is a boat in' himself, , played all the a'ppbm-. panimmits, I!" M «Lougblin fng "Bobin Adair" with mncn : ~u!°-* and feeling, #fter which Mrs Andrews rendered the " Wtite Squall»: in a style that yas both cultivated and professional. Jfisa Burling sang the popujar ballad',' Wori-kyou tell me " very prettily',' wjjen ! 'th/j "Mocking Bird "was'given as a trio by Miss Ejthel Burling; and the Misses Davidsou. Mr Davidson himself, in a rich baritone yoi<je tjjat hw" lost very little pf itj • yjjuthful sweetness, next treated- tjio giipsfs to "Jessie of Dunblane," and as an encore his singing of " Clara Nolan's Boll'' was like a reminiscence of Hiirry Clifton, Mr Andrew's' contributed much to the success of the

entertainment. His danoiog ..-;!waB; excellent; he was equally at : homo in jig or Blrathspey, and his ringing was. capital, During one ':'. of.'.: the' intervals, Mf George Burling, incog as a melancholy and aggrieved celestial, presented himself. The scanty and dilapidated state of his wardrobe, however, for some time concealed bis identity, and some of the guests were .getting indignant at the intrusion of an almond-, eyed mendicant, when his familiar voice broke the spell in a song -that gave them all stitches. If .the fun was not fast and furious, neither did the mirth ever lag, and. Time's wings seemed to be tipped with silver for nn occasion which ignotedboth Morpheus and Chanticleer, ; But all things' mundane must hate an end jarid when the wedding party broke up after 7 a.m. the bride and bridegrom tinder a shower of slippers, good wishes and r rice departed for their new home near , Alfredton.
