The pulpit was surmounted by an arch in which was suspended an imitation bell covered with white flowers, symbolical of the bride's name. Three bridesmaids and their grooms were in attendance, and the bridal party were flanked on each side by a group of lovely maidens dressed in white, trimmed with garlands of flowers. After the ceremony, the bridal party and invited guests, proceeded to the residence of Mr. Walling where refreshments were provided. Many presents were received by the newly married couple, consisting principally of articles of silverware, to the value of several hundred dollars. The number present to witness the ceremony, I have estimated from five hundred to six hundred persons. The whole affair was a grand success, the like of which has never before been seen in Victor.
