bit still perfectly legal. The parties
were Mr.. Samuel Sellers and Miss
Sarah Abbot. The ceremony is thus
described by al eye witness. After
giving lis views in brief speech,
Mr.. Sellers took lis bride by the
hand and said:
In the presence Of all who are
present, | take Sarah Abbot to be
my wife, making no promises Of con.
tlnued affection, and invoking no aid
thereto, but hoping, trusting, bcliev.

" well adapted to enable us to be to

hoping, trusting, and believing that
our characters are sufficiently we'll

be faithful husband and wife while we
