The marriage is to be celebrated in the Dn& dale Chapel, which is situated on t Deepdale estate, and was built and enâ€" dowed by Mrs. St. Clair when, as a young wife and mother, she had reâ€" turned from Europe, and came to reside carried his body fo its last peaceful reâ€" stting place beneath the monarch beech and lichen trees which shadow © the for the season at Here her children bad beén .mdl:';nh infancy to the baptismal font to receive the sacred rites of baptism.
