We clip from the Topeka Daily Capital the following notice of an old Ashland boy, a son of Matthew Clugston, Esq.:  Wednesday, the 10th. of December, 1879, proved a great day for weddings, in our capital city, as will be seen by the various notices, yesterday and today, and several of Kansas' prominent citizens united their lives and fortunes for good and all.  Last evening, at the home of the fair bride, was performed a ceremony in Bishop Vail's impressive manner, which united in matrimony John M. Clugston, Esq., one of our most prominent, enterprising and upright business men, and Miss Alice Colcher, one of the sweetest of Topeka's many sweet singers, whose reputation has gone abroad over the whole state.  The wedding was a quiet one, but very pleasant and propitious.  The residence which will be Mr. & Mrs. Clugston's future home, was ready "swept and garnished" and the happy couple go at once to housekeeping -- the sensible way.  Only relatives were present at the ceremony, and no gift-making was indulged in, but the groom presented the bride with a handsome diamond ring.  The elegant dress worn by the bride was of wine-colored silk, trimmed with wine-colored velvet, and a hat to match.  Their pleasant, cozy home is at 226 Harrison Street, where, the cards announce they will be "at home" after the 10th.  -- As re-printed from the Topeka Daily Capital.

At the house of the bride's father, Dec. 17, 1879, by Rev. John Kelly, Mr. George Buchan and Miss Martha J. Leistensnider, both of Clear Creek Township.
