and the sun, in genial splendor,
made merry nature smile as if inten

De Mail which is situated on the
highest hill in the delectab'e city and
commanas a periect view oi tne im

arrival of the Str Chowan, passing
the time in pleasantness to which
Mrs. Walter Jewell pec:allv contrib

upon the Organ and singing some-oi
the songs of long ago, when she too

delightfully rapturous to ears at

o'clock we espied the Str. Chowan'
ploughing the wave, a thing of beauty
with flags set and pennants flying in
anticipation of our party as passen

Edenton we were met by a host ot
people, friends of the bride and
! jrroom. who accompanied tnetn to
their residence on King street where
a sumptuous repast was spread and
where congratulations of gathered
friends were tendered in matchless
profusion. At a late hour callers
were received tendering words ot

for the happy pair made one.
FIRE AT MT. PLEASANT
CHURCH.
At the conclusion of divine service
at Mt. Pleasant Church, Washington
countv. on Sundav last, fire was dis-
1j r':::
COVcreu uiiuci uic iuui ajumuij; iiic
chimnev. It appears that the lower
part of the chimney which rested on
the beams, to which the ceiling was
nailed, had settled down from the
upper part of the chimney which
rested on the rafters, through this
crack, the flames came in contact
with wood work, and set the building
on fire. It was lucky that the fire
was seen before the congregation left
the house, else no doubt the church
would have bet-n destroyed. A Mr.
Norman and a Mr Moore in at-
temDtincr to reach the fire on the roof
outside, iost their hold and fell down
and over the eaves, catching the
rounds of the ladder in their fail, thus
no doubt saving their lives. For a
few minutes great excitement--ore-
vailed, but owing-to the exertions of
tne preacner anu uicuiuci ui
the church saved.
