MARRIED BY ExpREss.-A wedding
took place on the lightning express
train Of the Michigan Central Railroad
yesterday between Kalamazoo and
Galesburgh. The happy couple were
Mr.. w. H. Webster, of Otsego coun-
ty, New York, and Miss Emeline G.
Beach, of Guernsey county, Ohio
they were married by John Edwards,
Esq, a justice Of Kalamazoo. We
are informed that the courtship took
place during the ride from Chicago to
that point. Whep people of the oppo-
site sex do their counting in the short
space of some four or FIVE hours, while
riding at the rate of about 80 miles an
hour, and marry while riding at the
same lightning speed, we think no one
will dispute that this is a fast age
The happy pair went to Cleveland by
steamer last e~vening.-Bufalo EEp.
