one of the most prominent manufactur-

thrown frequently together and soon a
warm attachment sprang up between
them, which eventually ended in their
marriage. That ceremony was performed
in the German Catholic Church at AL
bany, by Rev: Father Nacthan, and was
attended with great pomp and splrndor.
After day or two spent in Albany,
the bridal party took their departure for
New York, with intentions of taking the
steamer from there direct to Germany.
Several days more passed by, and the
morning dawned when they we're to take
