MATHESON— MIRRIELEES.

An interesting event took place on Tuesday of la«t week (writes the Orepuki correspondent of the Southland Daily News), the occafiion being the marriage of Mi3s Mary, eldest daughter of Mr. W. P. Mirrielees. with Mr. E. Matheson, of Otautau. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Father Sheehan at the residence of the bride's parents, in the presence of some 60 or 70 guests who had been invited to witness the happy union. The bride, who wore a very handsome dress of cream figured cashmere, trimmed with pearls and cream silk, with train, cornet wreath and veil of orange blossoms and shamrocks, looked very charming. The bridesmaids, Mins Eliza Mirrielees, sister of the bride, and Miss Mathetton, aisler of the groom, worp dresses of the sime material as the bride, trimmed with cream silk and lace. Mr. John Mirrielees acted as groomsman. After the ceremony, the whole of the gueats partook of the wedding breakfast, which was a most sumptious one laid out under a large marquee, which had been erected for the occasion. The bridal pair, who left on their honeymoon, were met at the railway station by a large concourse of well-wishing friends who gave them a good send-off. The wedding presents are far too numerous to particularise ; suffice it to cay that the many different articles were both ÜBef ul and costly and chiefly of massive silver.
