HUNTER, youngest son of Capt. W. A Hunter
of this county, and Miss EMMA DUNCAN, eldes
daughter of David Duncan of this city.
The foundest wishes of the HERALD fraternity
are extended to this young couple as they take
upon themselves the solemn duties of man ant
wife. We have known them both for years
known them only to respect them, and believe
theirs will be a life of love and happiness
Chase is model young man, industrious, intel

knew him to loaf an hour, and surely no better
word could be said of young man. Emma:

nnd her pleasant and loving life companion
One VINO was present at the ceremony, says:
"A few select friends were present to witness
the marriage scene and enjoy the happy occa-
sion. A number of very suitable presents were
given by the friends to the young Husband and
wife.
The next day a number gathered at the home
of the Bridegroom's parents, Capt. w. A. Hun
teri to still further move the young couple on
thejoyous voyage of life. The parents knew just
how, and they succeeded In making the even
ing and day ouJ to be remembered with .,iess-
ure. Parents and friends all wished that many
years welded life might be granted to the noble
Bridegroom and his fair bride. Wished that
flowers of pleasure might stem their pathway,
and wreaths of Joy encircle their brows.

Indianapolis Notes.

EDS. HERALD. The half discouraged
farmers have enjoyed one solid week OF
fair weather and have improved it in q
manner which is highly commendable to
them. By far the larger share of the corn
is already planted, and the remaining
portion will most likely be soiled during
the present week. The continuous heavy
rains have rendered it impossible to put
the crops in, in good order. think a
large acreage of corn has been planted,
but unless the next three months be un.
usually favorable, we shall want for even
an average crop. The acreage of small
grain in this section is probably below the
average amount, but it looks quite vigor-
ous
Should any man find it necessary to
move old potatoes, we advise him to
travel with them through this locality in
the night, unless he wishes help in I'M
loading them.
In our return from Rose Hill on the 10Th
inst. we overlook Capt. Lewis on his way
home from West Liberty, he was in COM
pany with some of the finest Short Horns
we have seen in this section, consisting
of four females-Lily Dale, end Lady of
Atha, Rosy Lass and Mollie Clay, and one
very fine roam male four years old, weight
about twenty-five hundred, name Minis
ter Napier. 1t is just like Cap. to get the
best, we congratulate him on his fortu-
nate purchase. While we agree with
Darwin in the statement that mot one
man in thousand has accuracy of eye
and judgement to become an eminent
breeder" yet we believe Cap. will sue
coed. Monroe township is appreciating
her full share of fine imported stock.

KEoKUK COUNTY. From that excellent
county mirror, the Sigourney Negs we
learn that Asa Moler's house in Liberty
township caught fire and was burned.
Contents saved. No insurance. On the
same day a little girl eleven years of age
fell from log while crossing English
river, and was drowned. Her body was
recovered after having been in the water
three hours. Jacob Miller, who resides
four miles west of West Liberty, had his
stable robbed of eight fine horses on
Thursday night. The crops all look well.
-. .Keokuk county has q horror which in
short is as follows: Mrs. Catherine Brater.
near Manhattan Mills. was found dead in
the house, by her husband. The Coroner
and sheriff at once repaired to the place
and at the inquest verdict was returned
that the woman came to her death by an
abortion, and implicated one N. G. He's
seltine, as the perpetrator. He was ar
rested. 1t was proved that he stopped at
the house; that the children saw him drag
the mother from one room to another. and
left her on lounge. The accused has
been under suspicion of the same crime
before. The woman would soon have
been the mother OF twins.
