WEDDED AND WIDOWED.
Sad Frastration Of a Brilliant We'd

On Her Wedding Day.
From the Detroit Free Press. Sept. 28l
Between three and four years sine
Miss Emma Hulsizer, then a girl o
about sixteen years ofage, came to thi
city to perfect herself in painting and
music, for both of which arts, sh'
evinced decided talent. She is tn,
fourth daughter of William Hulsizer
OF Rochester, Oakland county, gen
tleman as noted for his liberality ant
hospitality as he is for his social anc
political influence.
While in this city Miss Hulsizer met
many persons who became her warm
and personal friends. After several
months Of intense application to hei
studies in this city she was sent to the
Convent of Villa Maria, in Montreal,
where size remained for two years as a
pupil, distinguished alike for talents
and attention to her studies, and where
she graduated this summer with great
honor, after which she returned to her
home. During one of her vacations
she visited a friend, Miss Moyes of New
York, and was introduced to DR.. S. f.
Moyes, the brother of the hostess. The
result was an acquaintance which cul
minated in a bctrothal, with the con.

should take place as soon after Miss
Emma's graduation as possible. Ac.

active preparations in progress for the

been prepared for the bride elect, moth.

least year.
The wedding was to have taken place
on the 24th inst. and cards of invita-.
ton were issued in time to permit
friends from all parts of the country
to be present at the homestead on the
occasion; the preparations were Of the
most perfect and elaborate description,
and it was intended that the happy
event should eclipse anything Of the
kind ever known in that part of the
| State. Friends were procuring their
presents, and it seemed as though a
more auspicious beginning Of life Of
married happiness would be impossible;
but fate decreed a sad reversal Of the
picture. and that the cup Of joy should
be replaced by the chalace of sorrow.
At late hour on the 18th inst. telc.
gram was received announcing the sud-
den and dangerous illness of the groom,
ond calling for the immediate presence
af his intended bride. Wild with anx.
iety, yet hoping against hope, Miss
Emma complied with the request. and

Of recovery.
The meeting between the almost dy.
ing man and his heart broken betrothcd
was too sacred to be made the subject
Of a newspaper paragraph; but the
sequel is one which so nearly resembles
romance as to be almost incredible.
The groom expectant insisted that
before his death he should be united
with the weman Of his choice, and, &C.
cordingly, clergyman having beer
summoned, that most solemn Of all
rites, death bed marriage, was cele'
brated. The scene is described by one
Of those present as never to be forgot

arms of his devoted mother, feebly re-
spended to the questions Of tho ofticia
ting minister the bride knecling beside
the bedside, with true womarly hero
ism repressed the anguish with which
her heart was rent; an only siste,
watched with agony by her brother
and a few fond friends knelt in silent
grief as the words were said which made
one of those two, 50 soon to be parted
blythe hand of death.
The Doctor bequeathed his wife as q
sacred legacy to his mother and sister
with whom she will hencctorth reside
and to whom she is now bound by ties
OF love. He survived until ! O'Clock
on the morning of the 10Th, when he
sank into quiet slumber, from which
he never awoke.
DR.. Moyes was wealthy man, anc
it is said he left his intended bride q
handsome fortune.
These particulars were communicat
