Interesting Arrount ora Fash ionable Weeding of a Deafand Dumb « ouple. Yesterday witnessed at the Second Presbyterian clinch, says the Memphis Avalanche of Thursday, an unusual and beautifully impressive ceremony, t lie marriage of Mr. HenyJ. Haight, ot New York city, to Miss Mollie L. Church, daughter of Captain and Mrs. C. H. Church, of tliis city, the groom and bride both being mutes. The ecremonv was performed in the sign language' by Rev. Dr. Gallaudet, rector of St. Ann's church, in New York, who came South for the purpose. The invited friends of Captain and Mrs. Church began to assembled long before the apnointed hour—eleven o’clock—and the church was fitted to its utmost capacity witli the elite, 1 he beauty, fashion and intellect of the city. At eleven o'clock, a line of carriages, conveying the nuptial party, arrived at the church. The attendants entered the door and passed up the aisle ill the following order: Miss Emma Topp and Mr. YV*m. A, Gwyne; Miss Jennie Molloy and Cupt. H. S. Rugg, of Nashville ; MissCorinne Cleaves and Mr. Wm. Bowles; Miss Lulu Pugg and Mr. Charley Newal, a mute; Miss Florence Bugg and Mr. Haight, brother of the bridegroom. The bride rested on the arm of her fattier ai d Mrs. Church on the arm ot the bridegroom. The bead of tlie aisle was spanned by a beautiful archway of flowers, ami the sained desk and ctudelabra on either side were taste fully dressed in wreaths of evergreen and rare flowers. The four front seats, reserved for the immediate family friends, were marked by a heavy white : cord. The attendants passed under theareh. the ladies to t he left and the gentlemen to the right. The bride and .groom stood under the floral rainbow, and the parents ot'tlie bride next to them. The ; bride, now the object of all eyes^tever i looked more sweet and angelic. Site has the face of a Madoita. a peculiarly spiriluelle expression, which speaks ot a pure, refined soul. No earthly music ever fell upon tier ear, but her soul is ,ittoned to diviner melodics— ‘•Such »s when winds and harp strings meet And taka a long unmeasured tono To mortal minstrelsy unknown.” The bridesmaid* looked lovely et.ough to he brides tlietnselves, and were dressed in elegant taste, wearing rich, white silk dresses, with very long trails nnd while vails of .jmll' length. The bride was dressed in white satin, wit It an elegant tulle veil and a wreath of pure white orange blossoms, When all were ill their places, Rev. Dr. (iallandet, attired in Hie vestments ol the Episcopal clergy, began imme diately to rend the beautiful and solemn marriage service of the church. At the conclusion of eacli section he would , repent the same in the sign language of the mutes, and the responses were made in like manner. The only varia ; Hon ironi the Episcopal from that could lie observed was Hie omission of Hie kneelin” service and laying OH °r hands. The entire ceremony Was lit!,;' longer than usual, nnd was witnessed iu profound silence and interest by Hie large and brilliant audience. At the conclusion the newly married couple led the way to the door, and the con gregation remained standing perfectly quiet. To make the description more nil we might have mentioned that the groom-men were tastefully dressed Ic I black suits of cloth, with white gloves and neckties, and each one wore n very pretty white rosette on the facing ol i lie left coni collar. . We understand that the groom and bride lell yesterday afternoon for a bridal lour to New Orleans. From I lienee they*g° *•> New York, to live - permanently. The bride was a great i nivoiiteiii society here. Her beauty, child-like simplicity, ease of manners and dignified womnnlv graces, won ! sincere Irlelidi wherever she was known. The gentleman she lias mar . lied, like herself, lias enjoyed nil the , advantages of education, of mental hiiiI " moral development, that money could secure, or kind ingenious friends cun ' eeive. This alliance is one of tlio most 1 interesting social events that ever E occurred ill Memphis, not only from , the peculiar mental nnd physical condi tions involved, but from the high fam • ily connection and position in society i of both parties. Hundreds of hearts I unite in wishing the young and happy i couple a continuation of joy and pros ■ perity through life.
