On Wednesday, April 23 (writes a Paeroa correspondent), Mr James Armour, son of Mr Alexander Armour, of Bunerane, County Donegal, Ireland, was united in the holy bonds of Matrimony to Miss Jane McConachie, second daughter of Mr William MoConachie. of Owharoa, by the Very Rev. Dean Hackett. The marriage ceremony was performed in the Saored Heart Church, Karangahak«, in the presence of numerous friends who assembled from all parts of the goldfields. Misses Mannix and Cullen were the bridesmaids, and Mr W.McConachie, jun., acted aa best man. After the ceremony Dean Hackett congratulated the newly married couple and expressed the hope that they would continue through wedded life to give the same good example of practical Catholic life as they did since he firnt knew them. Theirs, he said, was a marriage which would have the blessing of God upon it, because it was entered upon with due preparation by the reception of the Holy Sacrame:itp, and performed in accordance with the laws of the Church. The wedding party drove to the bride's home in the afternoon, when they were most hospitably entertained by her parents. The presents on the occasion were numerous. The health of the newly married couple was proposed by Dean Hackett. Mr and Mrs Armour spent their honeymoon atTe Aroha.
