A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.-We gave brief
notice yesterday, of the marriage of Miss Denim.
The Buffalo Republic gives the following version
Of that romantic affair:
Miss Susan Denim, the handsome and clever
young actress, yesterday became Mrs. +. Wood
ward, having been married rather unexpectedly.
1t appears that Mr.. W., who is gentleman of
Syracuse, in excellent business and affluent cir
cumstances, has for year or more been in love
with Miss Denim. He has followed her from
place to place, has written her letter after letter,
but has never been able to make her acquaint-
ance, and his letters were never received it now
seems by the young lady, On Saturday, it is
reputed, Miss Denim had some disagreement
with her step-faiher, and guardian. Yesterday
morning the friendly relations between them
had not been resumed, which young w. tried to
turn to his advantage. His father at his request,
called on Miss DIS guardian, she having finished
her 18th year, and proposed the marriage of his
son and Miss d., offering it is said. to give the
guardian large sum, ($5OO0) is named, for
any prospective loss he might sustain This
was refused-young w. then gave domestic
$50 to carry note to Miss ID. during her guar.
dans temporary absence. The colored gentle
man proved faithful Ganymede, and delivered
the missive. Miss ID. sent for the writer, she
had never seen him-he arrived at her room
door, where she met him.
DO you want to marry me-are you in ear
nest!" was his salutation.
81 do, and will"
"Send for priest"
The Rev. Mr.. Sheldon answered the sum-
mons, Mr.. Warren and his lady, and some other
friends were present and the ceremony was per-
formed.
The party, consisting of the happy couple. the
sister Miss Kate Denim, and the governess of
the young lady, left on the cars last evening for
the east. We learn that the new couple will
again make this city visit in about two
weeks.
There are divers rumors as to the conduct of
her guardian, which we do not deem necessary
to publish if true, and we know nothing of their
truth or falsity.
