mARRIAGE BY TELEGRAPH.
a Young Couple United in VgedIe rex.
while Separated by the space of a
Thousand Miles.

"A novel marriage ceremony was per
formed here on Tuesday and Wednesday
of this week-or, rather, a portion of the
ceremony was performed here and por-
ton of it over the telegraph wires between
this place and Georgetown, Colorado
The contracting parties were Mr.. Whee-
Ter Ellis, young gentleman who former
ly resided here, but now a resident of
Georgetown, Colorado, son of Jona-
than Ellis of this place, and Miss Lide
Sollars, daughter of Mrs. Isaac Sollars, a
widow lady, residing upon her farm in
the vicinity of SeIden. The parties were
betrOthed, and expected to marry soon.
But as the distance between them was
great, and the expense of coming here af-
ter his bride was considerable item to a
young man in moderate circumstances,
Mr.. Ellis, having favorable opportunity
of securing a proper escort for the young
lady from this phase to Georgetown, de
cided to take advantage of it. Our for
mer citizen, Hon. P. E. Morehouse, now
of Georgetown, was coming to this place,
and Mr.. Ellis entusted to him the com
mission to bring his intended bride back
with him, on his return to Georgetown,
provided. of course, the arrangement
should meet with the approval of the
young lady and her family. On her az
rival in Georgetown, the marriage was to
take place.
Mr.. Morehouse arrived here Monday
evening, and on the next day consulted
the young lady and her mother in regard
to the business entrusted to him. The
mother thought best that ther marriage
ceremony should be performed before her
daughter left home. The novel idea of
performing the cermony by telegraph
was suggested, and agreed to. The ser
vices of the Rev. Geo. Carpenter, pastor
of the Presbyterian church of this place,
were secured, and about noon on Tues
day, the necessary questions pertaining
to the marriage ceremony were propound-
ed to the groom by the clergyman by tel
egraph, and proceedings were supended
to await his answer. Yesterday morn
ing, the proper Responses having been
telegraphed back from Georgetown by
the groom, Rev. Mr.. Carpenter and Mr.
Morehouse drove out to the residence OF
Mrs. Sollars, and the ceremony was com.
pleted, and Mr.. Ellis and Miss Sollars
pronounced man. and wife.
Mr.. MorehOuse left yesterday for his
home in Georgetown, accompanied by the
young bride, who goes to join her hus,
band. We wish them a safe journey, an6
extend congratulations to the welded

The failure of this distinguished Off

Family Reunion.

In our hurry during the political cam
paign that has just closed, we failed to
notice in Il deserved manner one of the
pleasantest occasions we have had the
good fortune to participate in this season.
We refer to the reunion of the Cockerill
family, at the CockerilI Church, on Fri
day, the 4th inst. The weather was pleas
ant. and the members of the family and
their friends, to the number of perhaps a
hundred, met at the Church, where a
long table had been prepared3 which was
made literally to groan under the weight
of good things provided for the occasion,
and we noticed at one time that there were
eighty persons at the table, giving good
evidence that they appreciated the kind
hospitality and refished the good things
so abundantly spread hestibIe for
their entertainments. S was an inter.
esting part of the afteFh oon's enjoyment,
but not more so than the Interchange of
sentiments and the social, homelike con-
verse that followed the luxuries of the
dinner table.
Father VIM. S. Cockerill, now nearly
ninety years of age, and deprived of his
sight, participated in the social feast OF
the day, and his numerous. friends viii
be pleased to know that he is in good
health, and appears to be in better condi-
ton than we have seen him for severa
months past.
After dinner and a social, neighborlJ
converse with friends, the party was sum
moned to take seats in the church, where
several persons made short speeches, ant
the>audience was entertained with som,
excellent vocal and instrumental music
and at a proper hour all returned to thef
homes, well pleased with the reunion O
the Cockerill family.
To our friends, Mr.. Thos. G. Gockeril
and his sister, Mrs. Mccoy, we tende
our thanks for courtesies received from
them, and hope they may live to enjo,
many annual reunions of their family.

Surprise
EDS. HERALD:

EDS HERALD.
On the morning of the 9th inst, Chas.
Painter, under a pressing demand of
j. Cockerill, was induced from home On
his returning, at noon. he was received
by relatives and friends, and with others,
was soon seated at at able of delicious vi
ands; and, while waiting for the usual
religious service, instead thereof, there
burst forth from the guests in the room
and at the table song of thanks; and
never did
'sPraise God, from whom all blessings fow,'
sound more sweetly. Mr.. Painter was SO
kindly waited upon at the table that he
certainly felt as though from home and
among strangers.
The surprise was complete. Though
his 44th birthday, he felt it the strangest
of his life. Napoleon said ''the pit of the
stomach rules the world.'' One thus sur
prised takes on but little; wishes small
world, while the friends wish dominion
from sea to sea.
Dinner over, we were entertained with
fine music, and good speeches by Mr.. L
Merchant, of Leesburg, Mr.. Morris, OF
Indiana, and others, closing with devo-
tional exercises, after which the friends
returned home, glad of the social event
The following persons were present:
Charles Painter and family, Isaac Mer
chant and wife, OF Leesburg, Cooper
Morris and wife, of Indiana, Mr.. Robert.
