One day during the past week, bridal par.
~ arrived at the Spencer House. Cincinnati, |
from Bracken, county, Kentucky. consisting OF
the bride, bridegroom and The lady and gen
teman who attended them upon during the |
wedding ceremony. During the afternoon the
happy party took ride around the city, in the
evening attending the National theatre, after
wlijh they sought their quarters and retired
tor the night at very respectable hour. TIE
remainder Of the story is related by the Gin
cinrali Enquirer, as follows:
The young lady who ate nded upon tbe
bride was young sister, who it appears, had
been courled for more than year by the at
tendant upon the bridegroom. lie had even
gone so far as to ask the hand of the sister
from the lady's father, but was refused OH ac
count OF the extreme youth OF the daughter,
she being but trifie upward Of sixteen.
Everything went merry as marriage bell
until the following morning at nine o'clock,
when the bride and bridegroom appeared at the
breakfast table, where they were met BY the
ever smiling Pratt, the landlord. Late as it
was, the rest of the party had nor come down,
1t was done. -The messenger, however soon
returned with the Intelligence hat neither the
| lady nor the gentleman were in the rooms.
| This was astounding and the wonder was what
had become of them, although it was shrewdly
suspected by the bridegroom what course The
twain had taken. Inquiry was made by the
| gentleman on watch when the first train Of
cars left for Louisville that morning wherein
pom it was ascrrtaiped the lovers had taken that
| train and were lar upon their journey to mat
rimony.

dspatch ftoin Louisville, which read:

longer th e-kno is tied.
1t was rather an unexpected sequel, but Pratt,
said there did not appear to be many regret:
among any Of the party; on the contrary, the
bride and bridegroom on the first part appear.
cd highly delighted.
