Such might have been the salutatiOn of
our old friend, Louis SchaefeT, Esq, of
Canton, when he unexpectedly dropped
into our Office Monday morning, and
from his well known blunt, prompt
business habits it was a wonder he gave
US any other greeting. But he had an
air of mystery about hfm-appeared to
have too much business on hand for one,
and coy about taking in a partner or
cOntidant. After, hurriedly passing the
usual compliments, he cast his eye about
the room and under the table to see that
no one was present, and being assured
that no human eye could see or ear hear,
he said he had matter Of Importance
that he desired to cOnfde to us. Feeling
hattered with the confidence, welistened
with an attentive ear to the recital that
he had fallen in love with pretty, and
he believed, good girl of Holmes county,
and, if we could YOuch for the age and
other marriageable qualifications of
himself and Miss Helen COnyer, desired
that we procure license for them to form
a marital cOpartnership. Being fully ad-
v1sed in the premises, we executed the
request with pleasure. They were de-
clared man and wife by Elder j. A..
Williams, of the Disciple Church, Monroe
township, Tuesday morning, December
18th, and proceeded TO Canton at once.
The happy couple have our eOngratula-
tiOns aud best wishes for their future
happiness, and the many friends and
admirers of the bride will join us in
this.
