"Wedding Reception - Mr. Weidler Bender and his wife, who were married last week, returned home on Monday evening, when a reception was given at the groom's parents' at Rome. A large number of friends assembled at about 8 o'clock, and after the usual congratulations, refreshments were served. This part over, the carpet was taken up and Pfautz's orchestra made its appearance. "Choose your partners," cried several voices, and in a moment more they were tripping it on the light fantastic. As fast as one set finished another was formed and in this way the music and merriment were kept up until a late hour. Every person present seemed to be in the best of spirits and consequently passed of pleasantly."
