MARRIED.-In this city. on the 9th
inst, by Rev. JnO. Reid. Mr.. John Fitz-
Patrick to Miss Alice Ranne, all of JET
ferson county. THIS Office was remember
ed In good style by the happy groom, aud
we desire to record Our heartfelt wish that
fortune may smile on the twain thus
made one, without limit Mr.. Fitzpat-
rick has long been one of the respected
citizens and business men OF this place.
and, although few suspected him of COM
mitting matrimnny so suddenly, his con-
duct lately has been somewhat strange,
and many felt that the worst MIGHT hap
pen at any time. The tair bride is high.
ly respected young lady, and he has made
an enviable selection.
On Sunday evening last there were me-
mortal services i'll both the Presbyterian
and Methodist churches, in honor of Pre-
sident Garfield. At the latter place the
exercises consisted Inappropriate singing,
prayer and scriptural readings, statisti-
cal sketch Of the principal events Of the
late Presidents life, presented by the
editor hereof and Il funeral sermon by
Rev. A Atwood. The church was ap-
propriately draped in mourning, aud the
, attendance was large.
| MIsTAKE-An item going the rounds
OF the local press, to the effect that the
troops at Fort Townsend have been order
ed to AriZonia 10 fight indians, is 4 mis-
take. At the commencement of the
? Apache trouble, an item appeared in the
ARGUS, TO the effect that orders to pro-
ceed to the seat of war were expected al
the fort here, but we.have never stated that
they had been ordered away. and we take
this opportunity in correcting the erroni-
Gus item now being circulated. 1t is prob
ably the old story of the ''three black
crows" A bit Of gossip never loses by
being told a few times.
/ CAPT. Quinn, of the Teazer, is entitled
to an apology from this office, and from
the seattle Post for circulating such
a base fabrication about his alleged we'd
ding. We saw the item in the latter
paper, and copied it, innocently enough.
Now it turns out to have been Joke. AT
the time, we felt like expressing the sup
position that he had tcaZed her into a
matrimonial alliance, but concluded the
occasion was too sacred for such irreyer-
ent comments.
Mrs. IL. Reyell, of this place, is anx-
iOus 10 hear any news OF the whereabouts
of her only brother, Mr.. Edward Shutter
When last heard from about 10 months
