Matrimonial:

At Wesley Church, Berwick, at half past twelve o'clock yesterday, the marriage of Mr. George Oxley and Miss Sadie Caldwell was solemnized.

The spacious church was filled with invited guests and other friends of the parties, who had been assembled to witness the interesting event in the lives of two of the most popular among the young people of the town.

Tasteful decorations, arranged by skillful hands, adorned the building, a cluster of mistletoe overhanging the space before the altar, reserved for the performance of the ceremony.

At the hour named, the sound of the wedding march, played by Miss Annie Chipman of Church St., a cousin of the bride, announced the arrival of the bridal party. The bridegroom entered, attended by Mr. Hazen Anthony as best man. The bride followed immediately, leaning upon the arm of her brother, Mr. Arthur A. Caldwell of Oakdale, Mass., and attended by Miss Louise Newcombe of Church St., as bridesmaid.

The dress of the bride was of white satin and crepon. She wore a bridal veil and carried a beautiful fan and a boquet of bride's roses. The bridesmaid was attired in white cashmere.

The bride being conducted to her place by the side of her future husband, the ceremony was performed after the simple, but solemn ritual of the Methodist church, by Rev. Mr. Glendenning. At its close the newly married couple were driven to the home of the parents of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. David Caldwell, where a reception was held, and refreshments served.

Mr. and Mrs. Oxley started by the afternoon express on their bridal tour, which will extend as far west as Toronto; the return trip we believe, will include a visit to Niagara Falls and a tour through the New England States.

Among many useful and appropriate gifts received by the bride, may be mentioned a very valuable fur coat from her mother, and the gift of the groom, a magnificent gold watch with jeweled chain.


 A large number gathered at the Lawrencetown Methodist church, yesterday, to witness the marriage of Miss Ethel, the second daughter of Mr. Isaac Durling of Lawrencetown, and Rev. J.H. Toole.

The high esteem with which the contracting parties are held in the village, together with this being the first marriage in this church, there is no doubt that if the day had been fine, the church would have been crowded.

At 10 o'clock, a.m., the bridal party entered the church; the bride was ably assisted by Miss Dena Newcombe, who was bridesmaid, and Mr. Arch Foster supported the groom.

The church was tastefully decorated with green foliage, and immediately after the ceremony, which was preformed by Rev. Jos. Gaetz of Middleton, a reception was given at the home of the bride's father, after which they took the twelve o'clock train to Yarmouth, where they intend to remain for two or three weeks.

Mrs. Toole was the recipient of very many handsome and useful presents, which testify to the high esteem in which she is held in Lawrencetown.

They will occupy the new parsonage opposite the depot, when they return.
