Melville Ashby, of this city. Rev. John Webster, pastor of Brock St. Methodist Church, performed the eremony, in the presence of the immediate relatives of the contracting parties.
The bride looked extremely pretty, carrying a bouquet of bridal roses and resting on the arm of her father, who gave her away. They were unattended. After the ceremony, the wedding party sat down to a sumptous wedding breakfast. The bride was one of Kingston's fairesst daughters, being a member of Brock Street Methodist Church choir. the presents were very numerous and costly, showing the high esteem in which both the bride and groom are held.
