MI. Frederick Ruddy, a bachelor
Of fifty-four years, and Miss Rebec-
ca Seitts, aged about forty, were
married last week at Waterloo,
Iowa. The courtship had been pro-

the spur of the moment should en-
igrate to Hardin county, Iowa. A
couple there were recently married,
and after the ceremony the bride
was obliged to ask her husband
what her new name was. The par
ties had only been acquainted a few
hours.
