Last Wednesday, Horace TAYLOR
passed through our city with his bride,
having been to Chicago to perfect the
matrimonial alliance. Such is the life of
an editor.
This should be noble example for his
elder brother. Oh where is Lutte. Oh !!
where is STEPHEN.
Since writing the above we learn that
Stephen is married. Oh. where is Lutte
| Prescott Democrat.
We answer that question by report
ing ourself present, at the JOURNAL OF
F1cE, where we are ready to receive our
friends at most hours of the day, and
many hours of the night.
In publishing the above notices, we
have recorded the departure, by marriage,
Of the last member of our mothers fam
| lily, and the last member of the editorial
fraternity in the st. Croix Valley. -
WHIppLE being no longer connected with
the Press here. We have heard of
minister, who having married young Ia
dy, prayed for the bride, and also for her
survtving sister. AS we think of the
departed, we feelingly exclaim, ''R egut-
escat an pace" and we trust they will not
forget the surviving member Of the fra
ternity.
We think the present condition of af-
fairs demands short sketch Of the raw
ages of matrimony amoug the editors Of
the St. Croix Valley. Aswo alone are
exempt from the influence ofthe disease,
in obedience to the dictates Of duty, we
enter upon the solemn service of MARIA
ting the manner of their "taking off"
A year ago last juno, when the S..
Croix Valley Editorial Association held
its first regular meeting, P. V. WISE, Of
the Democrat, was the only married
member Of the Association. In The Az
tumn following, J. S. ELwELL, of the
Star, d. NJ LUsK, of the Democrat. and
C. E. You've, Of the Transcript, were
attacked by a species of heart disease,
which could be alleviated only by stand
ing up with a lady, and pronouncing the
magical words "'till death do us part"
DC. Last Spring, J. S. BEAL, of the
Chronicle, suddenly took female part
ner and went to housekeeping. A few
days since we were at Prescott, and II
A. TAYLOR came off from the evening
boat in company with lady, whom he
introduced to us AS Mrs. Taylor. VOL,
the boy has gone off early, but we have
the satisfaction of knowing that as our
younger brother, he has had tho benefit
of much good advice aud considerable
correct example. We came home in
respondent mood, and resolved to hire
horse and buggy, and go out to Hudson
and condole with CLEwELL, when we
learned that it would be of no use to
seek for consolation there. as SrEPH had
just "been and gone and done it." In
this extremity, we resolved to write to
FRANK DAGGETT, formerly editor of the
Chronicle, but picking up the Saltwater
Messenger. we were amazed to find that
Frank had succumbed to feminine attrac-
tons, and taken "partner of his joys,
and sharer of his serrers."
One thought now forces itself upon
our attention. Ii the matrimonial de-
mand for editors in this Valley continues
it is easy to see who will hare to 90 next.
How we have thus far escaped the gen
eral contagion, is one of those inscrutable
mysteries which do not admit of reason
