The next day the infair was at the residence of ROBERT JAMISON'S and
about sixty persons partook of the good things which Mrs. ROBERT JAMISON
is capable of setting before her guests, and especially on such an
occasion as this.

Thus, THOMAS and ELLA have a good start in the matrimonial life, and it
is the wish of the writer that they may never strike any breakers on the
way.

We had the pleasure of testing the cake.
