In making up the forms for the out
side of the DEMOCRAT, the date was
not changed from last week. We
trust we this week furnish enough
new matter to prove to our readers
that this isn't last weeks paper, al
though the outside date tries to con-
vince them that it is. Mistakes will
occur in the best regulated newspa-
pers-which the same this sheet
doesn't claim to be, .. .u.. .
MARRIAGE OF PROF. SoX AND Miss
YoUNG.-The event of the new year
in Albany has been the marriage Of
Prof. Edward F. SoX of the Albany
Collegiate Institute and Miss Weltha
NJ. Young. 1t had been known for
sometime ambng the intimate friends
of the young couple that such q union
was contemplated hence there has
been quite little buzz Of excitement
on the subject among those initiated
into the secret. Prof. SoX has been for
several years popular teacher in
Albany Collegiate Institute, and his
fair young bride, Miss Weltha Young,
is graduate of that institution under
his tutorage.
BY eight O'clock on Tuesday even
ing the Presbyterian church was
crowded to overfowing by anxious and
interested persons who were desirous
of witnessing the elimination of this
much talked Of event. The gentle
manly and polite ushers, Messrs. G. H.
Stewart, Jay Blain and Robt. Foster,
succeeded in providing seats for every
one, and just, as the hand of time
marked the figure s on the dial the
bridal party entered the church in the
following order: 1st the relatives and
most intimate friends of the couplei
cd, the bridesmaids Misses Sarah
-Althouse and Katie Lyle, accompanied
by their respective attendants, Messrs.
?. II. Raymond and VIM. Miller 3rd,
the candidates for Hymen, Prof. sox
and Miss Young. The party proceeded
to the altar arm in arm, where the
marriage ceremony was performed by
REV. S. G. Irvine, pastor Of the
United Presbyterian Church, after
which benediction was pronounced
by Rev. DR.. Geary, and the party
Immediately turned about and passed
down the aisle and out of the church
to the house of the brides parents,
where, in short space of time vast
crowd of people congregated to extend
their congratulations and felicitations
to the happy couple, An excellent
table of good things had been provided,
jim anticipation of the crush ofcustom,"
all of which was awarded full attention
by those present. just at the "niche
of time" the Albany Brass Band, led
by Prof Jno. A. Spangler, put in an
appearance with some beautiful and
appropriate strains from their instru-
ments, which was voted a good thing
by everybody.
We can't undertake to describe the
dresses of the bride and her maids
That is out of our line; but we do not
Hesitate to say that in those three
three young ladies' there was about as
much beauty and grace exhibited as
one would ever see congregated under
the spotless vesture Of C trio of Graces
at bridal party. And those priDcely'
looking young groomsmen = well,
they looked as though they were ready
and even anxious to go the same road
alta moments warning.
we heartily wish this newly welded
pair the fullest measure of happiness
and prosperity. We want anybody
WHO is good at connundrums to tell us
what more we could say
