A DEATn-BED MARRlAaE..---A marriage
took place in the city on Wednesday last, fol-
lowed by the announcement Of the death of
the bridegroom on tho following day. The
circumstances Of this. case make it one of sad
and peculiar interest. 1t not unfrequeDtly
happens TINT bride or groom, soon after the
performance of that rite which knits the dear
est and holest Of bonds, is suddenly takaA
awayin the midst of health and a new found
happiness. Then the affliotion is indeed ter
rible to the bereavcd, because unanticipatcd.
But in the present instance, the young man.
having returned recently from the army, was
confined to his bed from "a disease contracted
in the service. Day by day he sank visibly,
and it was evident that his day was not far
distant In this extremity his afianced asked
that the marriage ceremony might be no long,
or delayed, in order that she might be his
bride, though but few short hours, that for
lifetime she might be tM widow of one who
had SO bravey served his country Under
