Nov that another wedding is SO near at

al attitude.
L. 81. Rosencrans left on Mondays coach

BILE, until spring, and will return on one of
the first boats up the river.
Louis Hoffman and bride, nee Miss Carrie
Lepley, returned home from the States last Sat-
Eurday evening, and were warmly welcomed by
F1heir many friends in Benton; Whg wish
them a long ~and>happg partnership, q wish
in which the RIVER PRESS NEST heartily joins.
Whenever we announce the departure Of
understand that it is necessary for our peace
that they stay not on the order of their going,
but go at the time advertised; even if the at
fractions of Benton society are exceedingly
strong.
Major Bartlett and Mr.. Atchison left again
on the morning OF the 7th, for their home at
Fort Maginnls. They appear TO nave en-
ioyed their stay in Benton immensely, and We
expect many months will not elapse before
new goods will be needed by the post trader
at that point.
On Wednesday evening Judge Tattan
was very suddenly Frustrated by q partial
paralysis OF some Of the nerve .centers, and
at this hour Il .. N. Thursday shows but
little evidence Of recovery. he has been all
ing for several weeks past, with the symp-
toms Of extreme nervous prostration which
have increased until it has brought him
down completely. We, together with bis
many friends, extend to him our best hopes
for his recovery, which must inevitably be
slow.
The item in our last weeks issue regarding
the reported marriage Of Mr.. Edwards and
Miss VanBlarcum, and which was generally
reported aroun town, proves to be without
foundation. The lady is a comparative
re~putation,-and SO for that matter does the
gentleman whose name has been coupled with
hers. 1t is decidedly unpleasant to any lady
to be the object of town gossip, even II such
a matter, when there is 10 foundation foc
such rumors, and the parties who were SO
thoughlless as to spread such q report, IN con-
nectlon with any lady deserve the seVerest
apprehension. Tue item appeared as local
items are so apt to do, on the repeated repre-
sentation Of parties who professed to know,
and we hope the present will disabuse the
minds of all in regard to the unfortunate mis-
take.
