“l- A Wedding VUil.IlC _lie; Lnst Wednesday was a beautiful day. I *e- Early in the morning we took a galloping t- rifle of two or three miles over the prairie, et j The air was invigorating, the sky clear.and the early sun as bright a- ever. We | v- felt like shouting, and we did shout. It was a good morning to “praise Ood from i ^ whom all blessings flow.** Still later in I t’ the morning we started for Gallatin Valley ^ Female Seminary. / s v v not mount- j ^ **d on one ot those *:ni*uuls spoken of as j Fa lighter-- ot steeth, swift as the storm, i fI It took us about three hours to reach the, n j Seminary'.

Not only every section of the valley was 1 thoroughly and well represented, but friends at a distance had not forgotten the '1P occasion. About 1 o'clock, we gafheml i. umler the grand old cottonwood that |1 stands at the south west corner of the house. | i It is a lovely spot, and there was room for 1 | all.
