A very pretty wedding was solomnized in St. Bridget's church, Osgoode. on Wednesday. July 14th, when Mr. Joseph Purcell of Ottawa led to the altar one of our fairest maidens in the person of Miss Katie McNeely. The bride was assisted by her sister. Sarah, while the groom was supported by his brother, Mr. P. Purcell. The happy young couple left on the 3 p. m. train amidst showers of rice and old slippers for Montreal and Quebec, carrying with them the goods wishes of a host of friends.
