Bishop Brown had come from Washington especially to attend the wedding. Ho is a distinguished preacher of the Alrican Methodist Church, and his presence added eclat to the wedding occasion. - !

Dunn, and is a woman of more than ordinary intelligence and refinement. An account of a wedding without notice of the Ureses worn would be to ladies the plar of "Hamlet" with the Prince left out. The bride wore an evening dross of gray gros grain silk, with court train, cuirass cut basque and elaborately trimmed, skirl. J.ue back breadths were ornamented with knife plaiting und crosswise flounces point d'Aoglcterre; the sides showed very small gathered rufllcs, while the front skirt had two rows of knife plaiting at bottom with llounces above bordered with three fold of silk, set slightly a part and confined by a lengthwise puff of silk and lortninga longiaoiicr, mis costume was designed and prepared by the most fashionable modiste of the city, and it must bo said that il was gracefully worn by the bride. The coiffure consisted of puff and curls, trimmed with natural flowers. To this wa added diamond jewelry.

" - -i ' It has already been announced that the National Lnion Republican Com tnittee will meet in Washington next month to fix the time , and place, for holding the convention of the party for the bo ruination of candidates for I "resi dent. It may not be amiss to state, in Tiew of this fact, that, there have been numerous . preference expressed by prominent' persons from various sec tions of the country in favor or the 4th of July as the proper time, and for l miadeipuia as pre-eminently tne most desirable place for holding our conven tion in 1876. That city will then be the ueatre ot imponant events in com memoration of the early history of the country; and the atmosphere will be redolent ! with tba spirit; of patiotism. The MirouQdlngs.will be . favorable to Sunty and progre-s toward the lurther evelopment of the ! resources of the country, and the Union fires will blase with an wonted brightness. All the world and his wife and family, so to speak, will be present, and each and all sec tions will be upon their propriety. A suitable hall and other accommodations can be obtained with but little addi tional expense beyond what would be involved in attendance upon the great Exposition, independent of the conven tion. The delegates would therefore be enabled to "kill two birds with one stone." ' These suggestions are thrown out for the consideration of the mem bers of the committee, as the embodi ment of the feelings of thoso with whom .we have conversed on the sub ject. Republican. Our attention has been called to the following "paragraph!, which appeared in tho "Bakersville: Independent," a paper professing to be neutral in poli tics. ? "From the public press of the country it seems to be the general impression that the Democratic party has allied itself with the whiskey party and Roman Catholics, for the purjoc of increasing its political strength. If this is so, we advise every Iemoerat in the land to wash hi hand of ajl connection with an alliacce so base and so unprincipled. Any man or party thai will speculate on the blood and the curse of a nation, and barter away the peoples' dearest I" hopes lor ' the sake of party domination, deserves and, will nave the universal scorn and con tempt of all houcst men. Shall we ex pect a refutation of this shameful charge from th Democratic tress? We shall see." Bishop Cummin aavs that the Re formed Episcopal Church wa!organized on thcBecond day of December, 1873, without a single congregation adhering to it. On the second day of December, 1875, it numbers fifty two clergymen and fifty congregations throughout the United states and the Dominion of Canada. JiAlUtltU).
