The IIekald has this morning tin' pleasure of extending its mugr-itu'.-. tions and good wishes to another Benedict this time one of its own immediate co-workers and journalistic associates. While most heartily enjoying en-joying this privilogo, the Herald would bo doing injustice to its feelings feel-ings did it fail to acknowledge a Blight, but appreciable pang. To feel that one who has been wholly and devotedly devot-edly "our own," is .hereafter to be shared by another, and that other ono who will have an equal if not a grenter claim upon him, is 'ard to contemplate; contem-plate; but bo it is, and the truth must be acknowledged. Our friend, Mr. Byron Groo, left the Herald office on Wednesday evening a gay and free-hearted bachelor. bache-lor. This morning if he is not a well-married well-married man, it is the fault of Parson Wolch, of tho Presbyterian church, for there were yesterday in that beautiful beau-tiful cdifico all the accessories which go to make up a fashionable wedding. That the knot matrimonial was securely se-curely tied, no one of the large audience audi-ence who had gathered to witness the ceremony could for a moment doubt. TUS BRIDE of this occasion is Miss Julia JK. Sutherland, tho brilliant and accomplished accom-plished daughter of Judge J. G. and Mrs. Sutherlaud, formerly of Michigan, but for the last year or two esteemed residents of this city. Miss Sutherlaud has become quite an ornament to Sail Lake society, being prominent in musical and other social circles; and the friends of the happy pair, aided by tho good dame gossip, who will have her fingers in every society pie, mouths ago decided that the match was one quite appropriate and cn reyle, and the day was awaited with great interest, especially by the young lady friends of the parties. THE BRIDEGROOM. No introduction of the bridegroom is necessary to a Salt Lake audience, as the gentleman is well known and appreciated in the city where he has lived for almost a lifo time. Although his associates in the Herald miirht lake advantage of his present help-lewdness help-lewdness and say something very complimentary of him, being aware of the young man's excessive mo desly, wo forbear, joining however in the hearty good wishes for his happiness happi-ness and prosperity. THE CEREMONY. The day was a delightful one, the atmosphere cle.ir and bracing, and the omens all auspicious. At about 2 o'clock the invited guests began to assemble at the Presbyterian church, where the important ceremony was to be performed, (the bride and her parents being members of that denomination), de-nomination), and the body of the edifice was well filled in less than half an hour. A little delay was experienced ex-perienced in the ai rival of the wedding wed-ding party, and a hundred fair necks were sharply twisted at the rustle of every fresh arrival. The organist, Orson Pratt, jr., pl.tyrj a wedding march as the bridal party entered. The ushers, Dr. Fowler and Mr. W. C. Hendrie, in full dress, led the procession, followed by the futir bridesmaids, Miss Winnie Kcogli, Miss Jane Jennings, Miss Ella B. Haydou and Miss Claire Little. Tne bride and bridegroom then advanced and took their places in the centre of the area in front of the pulpit, facing the audience, supported by two of the bridesmaids upon either si le. The li'JV. Josiah Welch then performed per-formed the simple and impreive ceremony of tho Presbyterian church. The couple pledged their faith e;tch to the other in vows of iovo and constancy, con-stancy, the ring was put on, tho benediction bene-diction was pronounced and the happy pair were husband and wife, to the apparent satisfaction of alt present. The wedding party and their friends then re-eutercd the carriages and proceeded to the residence resi-dence of Judge and Mrs. Sutherland, whero the reception was to be held. THE RECEPTION.

The bride's cake, which graced one ol the table, was manufactured by Mr. J. Dyer, the confectioner of First South street, and was one of the finest pieces of wedding architecture ever designed in this city.
