We learn that the wedding of Mr.. G. G..
Hutchinson and Miss Gertie II. Sherman
at the residence of the brides father, last
Wednesday, was a very quiet affair." only
relatives of the family being in attendance
1t is reported TO have been an exceedingly
pleasant occasion, marred only by the i'm
mediate departure of the happy pair to
their home, fifteen hundred miles away. in
| Hutchinson, Kas. Mrs. Hutchinson was
| greatly beloved, and her loss to the society
of Castleton is deeply regretted. She will
be missed by the poor, to whom she was
an ever considerate friend. If only 1.-THE
of the good wishes which follow the newly
married couple to their western home are
fulfilled, they will enjoy all the happiness
that can possibly he conferred ON mortals
Rev. VIM. L. Hines of the Advent
Church was the officiating clergyman.
Judge NJ. II. Cook was the loser of Il
very valuable COW some days since, but his
loss was speedily made up by his SYM
pathizing friends.
Geo. d. Spencer, Esq, Of Fairhaven
delivered his second lecture on the " Moral
Degeneracies of the Age" in the Methodist
church last Friday evening; to avery intel
| ligent audience. The sticks Mr.. S. throws
are rather sharp, but they have the virtue
of hitting only those at whom they are
aimed.
1t behooves your correspondent to eX-
plain that Mrs. i. X. johnson did not take
her departure for the west at the time
stated, but was and is still detained by i'll
ness.
While our community is enjoying this
unequalled autumn weather, it is saddened
by the fact that two young men, Samuel
Langdon and VIM. Bardwell are passing
away with the leaves and flowers. The
former is a son of the late NJ. G. Langdon,
and has been in business during the last
few yeas in Battle Creek, Michigan. Two
years ago he was attacked with hemorIlage
of the lungs, and has been gradually
failing since that time. A few months
since he returned to his native hills hoping
for renewed health, but in vain. The latter
mentioned invalid is young man of TWEEN
ty, and less than a year since was in active
life and health. A few months ago he fell
into decline, and is rapidly approaching
the confines of another world
Matrimony was epidemic here last
Wednesday, four weddings taking place on
that day. One of these, that of Albert
Ransom, youngest son of Justus Ransom
to Miss Mary Clark, second daughter OF
Andrew Clark, has not been noticed in TIKI
GLOBE. Rev. Walter Ayrcs was the official
ing clergyman.
While the most ardent wishes for hel
lasting happiness follow Mrs. Hutchinson
to her far away home in the West, pro
found regret for her loss Is felt by he
numberless friends. The church to which
she belonged, the social circle which sh,
graced, the needy and suffering whom SHE
sought out and aided, the home, wherein
for many months she was mother, sister
daughter and friend, have suffered los
which will not soon be repaired. Between
herself and the late Mrs Sherman; asid,
from the relations of mother and daughter
there existed a rare and devoted friendship
and during the illness and after the dealt
of the latter, Miss Sherman assumedall thu
responsibilities accruing to such an estab
lishment as that of Mr.. Sherman. She full
filled her varied and arduous duties with {
conscientious faithfulness, which won fol
her an unbounded admiration and which
will keep her memory fresh and bright il
the hearts of those who reaped the rich re
ward of her loving ministrations If he
future is as cloudless as the day which Wit
messed her bridal, and IL half the brigh
hopes and earnest, prayerful desires 81
lavishly poured out by those who loYet
her well, are realized, she will spend he
life as few are permitted TO do.
Mr. c. c. Hutchinson is eminentl
