Mr. E. Bierer, of the class of '77, has gone and done it. He is the first of this class to commit matrimony. The long looked for event came off at the residence of the bride's parents on the evening of Tuesday, May 6th. There were about seventy-five persons present, and at 9 o'clock the bridal party entered the magnificent parlors. In the van was Mr. Jason Hidden, closely followed by E. Bierer, each in company with the lady of his choice, and the brides' and grooms' parents. The Rev. A. C. Peck, of the Baptist church, performed the ceremony that made the four two and the twos ones. The brides were dressed exactly alike. After the young couples had been congratulated seemingly enough, the party retired to the dining room, where a sumptuous repast had been prepared. The table was a marvel of beauty. The couples were made the happy recipients of a great many presents. At a late hour the guests retired with best wishes for the happiness of the two young couples.
