Pike's first sermon at the Meth? odist Church was listened to with much pleasure by a large congregation last Sunday, and his pastoral remarks at the close of the sermon impressed bis hearers with his sin* eerily and earnestness. On las t~ Sunday morning at the Presby? terian Church the pastor, Dr. Edmunds, re? peated by special request a sermon that be bad preached a few Sunday evenings since from the text, "Will a man rob God ?" The discourse was a most earnest and impressive one. There was no service at the Baptist Church OD last Sunday on account of the illness of the pastor, who we are pleased to learn is now convalescent. A profound and didactic exposition of the Holy Gospel was delivered in all of its sim? plicity by the Rev. John Kershaw on last Sunday evening at the Episcopal Church. Mr. Kershaw isa close thinker and is undoubtedly one of the ablest divines in the State. Under his ministry the Episcopal Church here has increased greatly in membership, and is now in a flourishing condition, spiritually and financially..

On last Thursday night a negro man by the name of William Johnson entered the res? idence of Mrs. M. A. Flowers, on Republican street, and stole from the room occupied by Gilbert Flowers, hi3 best suit of clothes. Mr. Warren, of Wedgefield, a guest, was sleeping in the room at the time. A strange feature of the whole affair is the thief s behavior after he bad stolen the clothes. He played off drunk and left upon the back piazza his shoes, bat, and whiskey. On the next morn-" ing he was arrested and like a good sinner confessed the indiscretion. His Christmas will be spent in jail. A Burning Shame. Our attention bas been called time and again to the miserably poor accommodations afforded by the R. R. authorities for the pas? sengers at the Sumter depot. In fact there are no accommodations whatever, and pas? sengers pnt np withal! sort of inconveniences. A new passenger depot has been built and it is a model of architecture, but it bas never yet been opened to the neglected and greatly in? convenienced traveling public at this station. For what purpose was it built? is now the question asked. Nearly every week this mat? ter is brought to our attention with the re request to say something about it. Capt. C. H. Jones, Chief of Police, has informed us that a young lady suffered no little this morn? ing while she waited the arrival of the four o'clock train. The only accommodation she enjoyed at the depot of the City of Sumter was a place to stand in the old dilapidated waiting room of the old depot, which apartment was tboroogbly damp and cold. A gentleman has just put in bis complaint against the R. R. authorities here ob account of the dilatory manner in which tickets are sold to passengers and the same charge en? tered against them in regard to the attea tion given to baggage. [From the Dallas, (Texas,) Morning News, . Thursday, December 8??.J A Buttercup Wedding. Under the mistletoe, under the rose, And the buttercups in their pride, hll the kingdom of Flora in glory arrayed, To grace such a fair yoting bride. For the grrl-bride was farrer by far than the flow'rs That danced 'round (he altar of love, And sanctien'd the vows of twe trusting hearts, While the angel recorded above. Sweet rang the wedding belia, light laughter flowed O'er glass rims all flashing in foattr Wheo the revels were ended at midnight the guests Took their buttercup basket? home. The unpropitious weather was Unable to* maf the brilliancy of the Dargan-Rauch wed? ding last night, lt proved to be as it. was anticipated, a most elegant affair. The de? tails of this wedding so admirable afe a tri? umph to those who arranged it. A "But? tercup Wedding" is new, as new as tbe Rose? bud and Marguerite parties that are being given in the East, and tbe novel idea was charmingly followed out. In the ceremony and the elaborate reception which followed it there was nothing that did not survive the i criticism of the most exacting. The same ar : tistic conception and faultless taste was every? where apparent-io the flowers, the menu and the toilets. Especially were the floral decorations cf the church beautiful. An arch of white flowers and mistletoe was over the chancel, while from its center depended a floral piece which woold be a credit to any of the talented flo- j ristsof the East, lt was a "lover's knot" and horse shoe, the lover's knot of pure white flowers, and the good-luck emblem of bet- j tercups. The base of the pulpit and arch were entirely concealed by bot house flowers. The effect of so many flowers, such a profu? sion of white, was beautifully symbolic of the ceremony and appropriate to the youth and grace of the bride. This wedding has been especially noted in society circles, for obvious reasons. Mr. Dar? gan is a young gentleman of sterling qual? ities, a popular member of one of tbe most prominent social clubs of the city, and equally well thought of in business circles. The bright girl he bas chosen, although very young has been a queen regnant in Dallas society for two or three winters, and apart from her brilliant social graces, sh* is endear? ed to those who know ber best, which goes to prove heart qualities of a rare f-der. Tbere is cause for congratulation all around, for never was a marriage more auspicious. Possibly the best exponent of the regard in which the young couple are held, was tbe large and fashionable assemblage which filled the church last night. At 8 o'clock the relatives of the bride and groom entered the church. Messrs. Leon Dargan and Byron Rauch ; Mejor and Mrs. J. T. Dargan ; Mr. and Mrs. J. Bauch ; little Earl R. Clark and Mr. Albert Stewart : Mr. Vernon Dargan and Mrs. Ada Clark (nee j Rauch.) Tbe ushers came next. Then followed the attendants, six in number. Tbe bride and ! groom next made their entree, both appear j ing to excellent advantage. .Miss Raucb's youthful, pretty face and graceful exquisitely rounded figurt found au admirable setting in her bridal toilet, which was a beautiful com? bination of richness and simplicity. It was of white faille Francaise. The front of the skirt had two wide flounces of point duchess lace, extending from the waist to the bottom and separated by a fan pleating. At one side ? waa a half panier drapery, ending in wide ; pleats, and the other side was pleated also. Foll Renaissance train, shirred in a V at the waist and falling in large folds, The train i was'edged with a pleating of Valenciennes, under which were three frills of crepe lisse. The corsage was pointed, laced in front, and was outlined bj a heat j silk core, the sleeves were short, and fininsbed with a ruffle of point duchess, abd the collar was outlined with a silk cord and edged with point duch? ess. The corsage bouquet was a superb Clus? ter of Gloire de France roses. Orange blos? soms were wtftb with the bridal veil of silk illusion, which covered thc face abd fell to the full length of the train in the back. The bouquet carried by tbe bride wa? rery lovely, of pure white flowers in the most matchless arrangement. It was sent by Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Cage of Houston. The only orna? ments worn bj the bride were a magnificent pair ot solitaire earrings; The ceremony was beautifolly pronounced by tbe kev. A. P. Smith, and at its conclu? sion aboht fifty invited guests repaired to the home of the bride on Olive street, where an elegant reception was given. The three beau? tifully appointed parlors were ablate with light, redolent with flowers and comfortably filled with a brilliant company of lovely women and their escorts in full dress. Itt the third parlor the bridal presents were displayed, and formed a magnificent and cost? ly array, magnificent fets of silver; every? thing tasteful and appropriate in the decora? tion and beautifying of a home. At IO o'clock the company entered thc tup? per room, where a magnificent supper was artistically served in twelve courses. The arrangement of the tables defy description. Everywhere there were pyramids and banks ? of flowers and fuits. In the center of ope of ' the tables was a solid crystal of square eot ice, in the middle of which were a collection of bi? valves. Rare champagnes figured on the menu, which finished with the most delicious of creams and confectlonaries. A number of toasts were given to the happiness of Mr. and Mrs. Dargan, and if the sunshine is always ai bright to them 89 now, they will have no shadows. The wedding souvenirs were very original and pretty, little gUded baskets of willow in which were miniature napkins of gold satin, and a piece of wedding cake. Toe handles bad a cluster of gold buttercups tied with white satin ribbon. Altogether it waa one of the most charming weddings ever seen in Dallas. At least such was the delighted verdict of the guests at the reception last night. The groom, Mr. Milton Dargan, the eldest son of Maj. John W. Dargan, is well known in this County and bis host of friends here join the Watchman and Southron in extending gilt-edge congranlations to him and bit lovely yooug bride.
