Hamilton. ,Sprln* n,U. *«***’At an early hour yesterday evening, “Spring Hill.” the beaueiful residence of the bride, presented a gay and brilliant appearance. Carriage after carnage rolled up the graveled avenues leading to the Sprague mansion and discharged its precious freight, till the spacious rooms and .halls of the ^sp.table mansion were comfortably filled with the numerous friends and relatives of the two families most deeply interested. Among the guests was a large number of friends and relatives from a distance. .The interior of the house presented a very handsome appearance, each room being beautifully decorated with flowers, vines and plants, forming a fitting back-ground of color for the many richcostumes worn by the lady guests; andoverall a soft, subdued light was cast by innumerable waxen tapers, giving a moat pleasing and satisfactory effect.The all-important peremony was arranged to take place in the west parlor, and at half-past seven o’clock the sudden bush and thrill that seems peculiarto such occasions announced to the expectant throng that filled room and hall, the coming of the bridal party. First cajne the ushers, Messrs. John F-. Dean and W. H. Davis, followed by the officiating clergyman, Rev. F. M. Hall of Trinity Episcopal Church, preceding thebride and grooin.The bridal party took its position near the center of the room, and then, amid the solemn silence befitting the occasion, thtf fateful peremony was performed in accordance with the impressive ritual of the Episcopal Church, and the mystic vows were given that were to unite two human destinies and two human lives, “for richer for poorer, for better for worse,” until death shouldthem part.When the ceremony was ended, ana the contracting parties were pronounced“man and wife,” the guests Passed forward to shower upon the happy couple the congratulations which were not merely formal and conventional, hut which carried with them the sincerest wishes of all present for the happiness and prosperity of the newly-wedded pair.The bride, Miss Elizabeth Sprague, is the oldest daughter of Mr. H. S. Sprague, one of Newark’s oldest and most prominent citizens, and is a young lady whose lovely character and many excellent traits of heart and mind have deservedly endeared her to a large circle of acquaintances and friends. When a man wins such a bride, it seems almost nugatory to wish him happiness, for it is already assured. The bride was attired in a cadet blue gros grain silk dress, hand-painted in clematis sprays and trimmed with lace, with ornaments of natural flowers; and looked every inch a bride. The groom, Mr. J. C. Hamilton, is a gentleman well and favorably known to the citizen of Newark. He is a native of Scotland; but has been in this country for the last twelve or fifteen years, and is at present engaged in extensive mining operations in the Hocking Valley coal and mining regions. He wore the usual conventional dress suit, and looked as happy as the crowning event of a man's life couldmake him look.An elegant bridal banquet was served to the guests during the evening, and the interval between the ceremony and the time for the departure of the bridal portv. was one of rare social enjoy-Personal Paragraphs.J.

In our opinion wo cannot dispense with such efficient services and if we can keep Mr. Swisher, we ought to do eo “DEDIt may be well for persons who are fond of pets to make a note of the suggestion which comeB with high medical authority that contagious diseases can be caught and conveyed in the hair of animals. An instance is cited of a “rat that had diptheria and died in the bouse; the disease broke out violently the day after the animal’s body was removed, and two or three children died of it.Horses with glanders sometimes transmit leathsome disease to man. The hog cholera that was so destructive a few vearB ago was frequently carried from pen to pen and drove to drove by rats who ato of the dead hogs, died, and [ were in turn eaten by other hogs. Some pet animals are cleanly in their habits, But as there aro many localities where cats and dogs roam at large and are caressed by every child that can lay hands on them there is good reason for taking special care against the homeless contingent of estrays.” Such reports are well calculated to make prudent people cautious.COURT HOUSE.
