Mr.. Henry NJ. Lowensteine, of the

Tenn, was married last night to Miss
Rosa Nahm, daughter Of Mr.. l.. Nahm,
of this city. The ceremony was per.
formed by DR.. Hirsch, the rabbi Of the
Jewish temple, at the residence OF the
brides father, on Seventh street, and was
witnessed by the special friends and rel.
Atives of the parties. The parlor in
which the service was performed was
richly decorated with plants and flowers,
and the hymeneal altar bresthed forth
sweet incense from its beautiful floral
adjoining. An incident worthy OF note
in the marriage service, which may be
regarded as an innovation OF some in
terest in the ceremony Of the Jewish
church, was the omission Of the wine and
the substitution of an exchange Of rings,
with the mutual vow Of love and con-
staucy.
A large number Of costly and hand
some presents to the bride attested the
esteem in which she is held by her
numerous admiring friends. After the
ceremony the happy couple repaired 10

THE FRANKLIN ARCTIC SEARCH.

Some time between the LIST and 10th O

John Frauklin's expedition viii sail fol
the Arctic region in the Eothen. The
arrangements are being completed as
rapidly as possible, and contributions TO
the expedition are constantly received
The search party will consist OF five
white men aud about fifteen Esquimaux,
the object being to make it as small as
possible, so hat they will be able TO sub
sist upon the game that is met upon the
route to the cairn where Sir John Frank
Inns records are supposed to be buried.
A larger expedition would necessitate
the sending out Of bunting parties to the
right and left Of the line Of march, and
consequently cause delays. 1t is the in'
tention Of Lieutenant SchwAtka to allow
nothing to divert him from the main OBJ.
iect Of the expedition, but ever though
he should fail ia securing the Franklin
records be believes the exploration Of SO
large an unknown territory will be a
great gain to geographical science and a
sufficient recompense to those who com
pose the expedition. The party is now
made up, and will consist Of Lieutenant
Schwatka, W. H. Glider ADD three men
who have previously been upon Arctic
explorations. Esquimaux Joe will &C
company the expedition as guide, and
will undoubtedly prove a valuable aux.
Hilary. 1t will be remembered hat dur.
ing the Polaris expedition he kept the
entire party, consisting of nineteen per
sous, alive for 1876 days while saOat upon
an iceberg, by his skill in hunting and
fishing and through his knowledge Of
how % livein that terrible climate. He
has been IN New York since last Wednes-
day, and seems quite pleased with the
prospect of returning to bis native
country.
