An Oregon emigrant writes the Kalida Ven
ture, from the company's camp on Fish creek,
away West somewhere, that, on the Goth ult.,
the dullness of their tramp was enlivened by
marriage ceremony. The writer says-"Now
you need not stare-yes, wedding here, be-
yond where dwellings, laws or licenses are to
be found, or any Of the various "6xings" which
such an occasion generally calls forth in your
country. The lucky couple are Mr.. Meeks,
our pilot, and Miss Shoonover, an emigrant
Tney had three or four days acquaintance, du.
ring which they concluded upon getting up
this novelty. The ceremony was done up by
a preacher who was in company. When the
hour arrived the trumpet was sounded, and we
all left our vocatons and gathered around the
loving ones in front of the campfire. We were
a strange looking misunderstanding around
with our hats on, long beards dirty shirts, here
and there rent breeches, deer-skin moccasins
belts, pouches, &c., to witness, for the first
time, the knot tied in the wilderness Well
soon the ceremony was over, and each one
went about his own business"
