Cora Peck, daughter of Lewis Peck. Both are well known
in Geneva and surrounding towns, and had a general gathering of their
friends taken place, the large house would have been filled. But

friends were present. The ceremony took place at 2 P. M., Rev. R.
Cheney, of N. J., the father of the groom, officiating, assisted by

A Fashionable Wedding - A fashionable wedding which took place
at Trinity church on Monday
morning at half past eight o'clock, attracted a good sized

life, were Lieutenant Eugene A. Ellis, of the United States
Army, and Miss Kate Spencer, a well known young lady of
Geneva. Messrs. George Prince, Alexander Mann, H. McBride and

as ushers. Prof. Cramer presided at the organ, playing a minuet
from Handel's Samson, a selection, the Coronation March from
Meyerbeer's "Le Prophete", an Impromptu Valse, and Allegretto from
Symphony of Mendelssohn's "Lohgesang." The bridal party entered
the church to the strains of the Bridal Chorus from Wagner's Lohengrin,
and advanced to the chancel, where Rev. Dr. Hinsdale was in waiting to
perform the
ceremony. The four ushers led the way, followed by Mrs. Spencer,
mother of the bride, and Mr. P. N. Nicholas. The bride, on the
arm
of her future husband, came last. She wore the customary bridal
costume and veil. The happy man wore the uniform as an officer of
the United States Army, and looked every inch a soldier. The
impressive scene was soon ended, Schumann's Traumerel being softly
played throughout, and to the joyous notes of Mendelssohn's Wedding
March, Mr. and Mrs.
Ellis left the church, followed by the best wishes of many friends for

yet one of the completest of weddings, in all that related to the

entertainment was exceedingly tasteful and bounteous, and of courtesy

occasion was throughout a very pleasant one, in all respects.
No formal reception was given; though there was a small gathering of
relatives, almost exclusively, in the temporary residence of the

The presents (what would a wedding in these days be without them) were not only many and costly and rare, but exceedingly well chosen. The bride and groom, after receiving the hearty congratulations and best wishes of those present, started on their wedding trip, taking the 11 o'clock train at Geneva for New York. We add our congratulations to those of the relatives and other friends, and our hope that the future of the parties may be as bright as there is every reason to believe it will be.

Wedding at Victor. Mr. Editor:
Seldom has it been our pleasure to meet a more pleasant company than
that assembled at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. Gallup, of Victor,
N. Y., on Wednesday evening December 3d, to witness the marriage
ceremony of their niece, Miss Libbie Boughton, to Mr. Jas.
G. Vail, of Geneva.
The bridal party entered the room to the music of the wedding march,
and the words, "What God hath joined together, let no man put asunder,"
were soon spoken. After congratulations and an exceptionally
social supper, the bridal party left on the evening train for
Geneva. The presents were not only beautiful but
substantial. One
especially noticeable, a lovely cake basket bearing upon a card
the hieroglyphics O. M. and the names of eight well known young
people of the place. It would not be possible, however, to
enumerate all the gifts. We think, however, they were a sincere
evidence of the appreciation in which the bride is held by her friends
in the community where she has lived. We understand that they
also found some beautiful gifts awaiting them on their arrival in
Geneva. "Long live the happy pair." One

FITZGERALD - O'BRIEN
Chapinville, N. Y. - Thomas FitzGerald was married to Mary Ann
O'Brien on Wednesday of last week at St. Mary's church,
Canandaigua. We extend our congratulations. The boys went down to give
them a little
music Monday evening, and they had just commenced to make a racket when
the bridegroom opened the door and invited them in, each congratulating
him as they passed the door. They were well-treated to apples and
cider,
having a good time in general. When about to depart cigars were passed
and
they returned wishing him a long happy life. Only one missing feature
was
that the bride was not there until it had all passed.

COLF - BRUNDAGE
The announcement has just been made public of the marriage at Honeoye
Falls, on the 14th inst., of Mr. Charles Colf and Miss
Maude Brundage, both of Hopewell. This matrimonial alliance being
the result of an attachment which met the determined opposition of the
bride's grandparents and guardians, they were not apprised of its
approach, nor of its consummation until the young couple had reached
the residence of a sister of the groom at Lima
after the ceremony. From there the bride wrote of the event and assured
the old folks that she was just too happy for anything, although she
would be glad to see them provided the husband of her choice would be welcomed with her.
