has been considered long liver. Pliny,
in ancient time, Penant and Gesner, in

Comfort Com Gorted.

APRIL AND DECEMBER UNITED HYMENIALLY.
Ezra Comfort, aged 70, and Miss Sarah E. Carr
aged 10, residents OF this city we're, yesterday,
married in Chester by Rev. j, B. Maddux.
The courtship OF this couple is somewhat ro-
mantle, but although hastily consumated was
strictly legitimate, and with the full knowledge
OF the-well. friends Of the parties. The groom
has long since laid away to rest his parental an
cestors while the bride was acquainted with the
griefs and neglects Of orphanags at very ten
der age. .t-
Shortly after the death Of her parents. Miss
Carr was removed to the children's Home, in
Philadelphia, where she remained until taken
out by George Karsner. (familarly known as the
Eyes OF Delaware" ,") at Odessa, and entered his
family as q help to his wife. She resided here
until September last when she found home
with a Mrs Miller, at Fourth and Madison Sts.,
this city. Miss Carr was frequently dispatched
on errands, and II was while absent on one of
these that she met her husband and he became
enamored OF her.
Two weeks ago they became acquainted, after
frequent meetings at the grocery, Seventh and
Of the young lady was asked and promised in
marriage she no doubt thinking it was far
preferable to become an ''old mans darling
rather than young mans slave"
After the ceremony had been concluded, yes
terday, the welded couple returned by the
train, and last night, reception was given, when
smiles wreathed the benign countenance Of the
tender husband, and his heart beat as joyously
as in his earlier years. Miss Carr is Mrs. Com
fort now, and Comfort is. s.comforted thereby.
