SAN DIEGO.
A wedding Sensation and Romantic
Marriage.
SAN Diego. June 9l, 1870.

one of the first physicians of the place,
was to be married that day, on the ocean
beach, some twelve miles north of the
city; and that general invitation was
extended to all the Doctors friends to be
present. The Doctor was well favored
widower, a genial, large hearted pleasant
gentleman, and, withal, very much of a
ladies' man. Speculation was, of course,
rife as to who was to be made Mrs. DIR.
Anderson. Tho Doctor was generally
considered by the manageable women
as being "good CATCH aud Dame Ru-
NOR had him mated TO several fair ones
two or three hours before the parson
solemnized the ceremony. Gradually,
and with much distortion, the facts of
the case
LEAKED OUT,
And If Surprised" is the vsrb expressive
of public feeling when the news was first
promulgated, "astounded" would poorly
represent the emotion caused by the state
ment of the
FULL FACTS OF THE CASE.
Some few weeks ago a certain wealthy
and we'll known Chicago merchant ian
old friend of DR.. Anderson) paid San
Diego a visit, with the view of making
investments in real estate, and of finally
removing hither with his family. The
doctor and his friend were much together
during tho stay of the latter, and had
many a good talk as old friends are wont
to have over old times, and MANY conf
Dental exchanges of ideas regarding fu.
ture hopes and prospects. Among 9th
err aspirations, which the genial doctor
laid before bis friend, was wish to cx-
change his present state of single cursed
ness for one of double blessedness. Hap
Ply thought!
TIE oman FROM CHICAGO"
Could fix Kim to dot. He knew of n
widow lady who was just cut out for the
doctor. Indeed, so evident was the NUT
ual adaptation that it, or itself, would
compel him to believe in Rffinities. She
was pleasing. handsome, and last, but
not least, had quite
SNUG LITTLE FORTUNE
In her own name. The man from Chi.
cago proposed on bis return to make the
necessary arrangements, and forward the
fair one by one of PuIIman's palace cars
to San Francisco, and thence to San Di
ego. He was az good as his word. The
steamer one week ago brought the fair
bride. The expectant bridegroom had
been notified by telegraph that she was
en- route, and met her at the wharf. Her
perSonelie quite verified the man from
Cuicago's description.
FAIR, FAT AND FORTY
Was the public verdict. That she was
fair was beyond question, for she is
truly handsome; that she was fat, two
hundred pounds avoirdnpois attested /;
that she was forty. however, admitted
some doubt. Indeed, at first few pre-.
tended to believe it, except the marriage
able ladies; but they. insisting that such
was the case, carried the day, as they al
ways do when they set about it. TIE
doctor was more than pleased with his
new acquaintance. 1t was genuine
case of "Iove at first sight," and unlike
the r@tch sought to be made long years
ago between the Eighth Henry and An
ME of Cleves it resulted in
SPEEDY AND JOYFUL MARRIAGE.
The public were kept profoundly ig
norant of any love making between them,
and had no suspicion of what was go
ing on until two days after her arrival,
when the news mentioned in my frat par
agraph was spread rapidly. All San
Diego responded to the invitation. Ev-
erything on wheels was in demand. The
place designated for the ceremony was
romantic spot on the rock bound ocean
shore, much resorted TO by picnic excur
sioDs. 1t is known rs the "Muscle Bed"
from the abundance Of that class of bival-
yes. The ceremony was performed by
Rev. D. A.. Dryden, who "astonished the
natives" by giving Mrs. DR.. Anderson
the first kiss she ever received. In the
evening the Bay View Hotel was thrown
open to the friends of the happy couple,
aud they were many. Dancing was the
order of the evening, and fine supper,
with excellent wines, was. served by the
jolly host, Cullen. A more pleasant af.
fair has never been witnessed in San Di.
ego. But cannot avoid, en- passant.

the much esteemed Methodist clergyman,
Rev. d. A. Dryden, who has drawn up
