 In tbe MiSEa Sept. 6, its editor, J. II. Ma rion, announced new departure, and 1t is now tho pleasing duty of the sub.editor to chronicle tho fact that the event forvtold has occurred. On Tuesday, Sept. 10th, J. H. Marion and Flora E. Banghart were made man and wife, by virtue of the ceremony per fofmed by Judge II. W. Flenry. Tue mar risge took place at the residence of the brides sister, Mrs. k. W. Wells), at l2 m, and was quite private affair, only the rela- tiyes of the family and avery few others be- ing present. After the ceremony intimate friends made congratulatory calls, and the four employees of the MINER office marched up to Mir Wells hausc, about the middle of the afternoon, and assured Mir. NJ. of their good will, etc. Wine and cake were tasted of and the party returned to the office and decorated the outside door with the legend, "Marion has departed" in large letters, sur rounded with emblems of gladness and res pect and then devoted the rest of the day to jollity and bibulous compounds.
 O. A., who has a tall flag staff near the of- flee, displayed the bunting at half.mast 8. c. Rogers and A. Miller ran . foot race for five dollars, and Rogers and somebody else ran another for keg of beer, in front of the MINER office, and Rogers won both races and brought the beer inside, and the boys distrib. ated it, and A stranger passing might have supposed that our devil was celebrating biz birthday.
 In the evening the happy pair kept open house at their new home on Carleton street and from dark until the hours grew thin the house was thronged. Gen. Crook and his staff officers and their wives, and all th, bachelor officers from Fort Whipple, wer, there. The Mayor and Council of Prescott presented themselves. Everybody in Pres colt, and many citizens from ostside pre- cincts, filed through the front room, sbooI hands with the bride and bridegroom, nippeC slices of cake and punches of grapes in th, dining room, and got everything they wanteS to drink in the kitchen, which did bette business in fluids than any establishment il
 Prescott that night.

 the dawn of another day at least, but th, hooodums broke loose, with harp, violin, bas viol and flute, they surrounded the house O the departed, and discoursed sweet music un til the departed resurrected himself and ap , peared on the porch and asked the crowd t, l take drink with him in the kitchen afore
 said, which invitation was unanimously ap , plauded and the way that crowd disposed O champagne, egg-nogg. and more. common stimulants was astonishing. The goose wa, elevated to the ceiling, and then the crowd left the house, and after another tune on the
 wind and stringed instruments they too de
 parted and left the world to darkness and tc
