The Marriage party left Pitcains House about 10 oclock in the fornoon on which occasion they were greeted by the Huzzars of great concorse from the surrounding district, who had assembled at the gate to offer their congratulations on auspicious occasion. A beatiful arch adorned with evergreens, Dahlias, and hollyhocks was thrown across the road at the gate and had a very fine effect.
The marriage ceremony was preformed by Mr. Oldhaw of St. Mary's Glasgow, assisted by the encumbant of the church, the Rev. Mr. Blatch

The bride was attended by her sister and eight other bridesmaids. Besides the more immediate members of both families, there were present at the ceremony, General Murray Belches, Invermay; the Hon Mr. and Mrs Graeme of Garvock and family Mrs Lawrence Graeme Miss Graeme Lady Malkiz and Miss Malkin, Mr and Mrs Gnome of Welhall mrs Outam the Misses Caton and Miss Kinchant of Park Hall, The Misses Graeme of Garvock Mr. Colquhoun, younger of Killermont; Mr. Alexander Crum Ewing, younger of Levenside; Mr. Burns and Mr. James Burns: Major Aldridge; Mr. Warrand, Stratton Lodge; the Rev. Mr. Wiison, of Forgandenny: Mr. Cognal Mr. Coming; Mr. Mrs Herbert Malkia; Captain M'Kenna, and several other officers of the 21st Fusiliers and 1st Royals.

When the ceremony was concluded, the bride and bridegroom and their friends returned to Pitcains House, which they reached about one o'clock afternoon, The crowd at the gate again saluted the party with enthusiastic cheers; and a number of persons who had stationed themselves at a height at a little distance, with guns and plenty of ammunition, fired off a volley as each carriage passed.
The party sat down to luncheon at Pitcairns House, after which the happy couple started for the south. The wedding party afterwards spent a joyful evening in Pitcains.
