 It seems that Theron J. Dean, in giving us the announcement of his marriage for last week NEWS made a mistake in giving the maiden name of the bride, which he gave as Carrie M Brlnton, of Falls Village. The genuine Carrie Brinton, of Falls Village called on us shortlSafter the NEWS was issued, and denied that such an alliance h Id been made Approaching the fact that such statement must be exceedingly mortifying to Miss Brin ton, we made further inquiries. and learned , that the maiden name of Deans bride, in- stead of being Carrie M. Brinton, was Car0- line M. Burton, whereupon we appeared to young Dean, and secured his signature to the following affidavit
 This is to certify that my wife's maiden name was CGrotine M Burton, instead of "Carrie M Brinton," as it appeared in the CONN. WESTERN NEWS of Nov. I7th.
 (Sgned) THERON J. DEAN.
