With lovely flowers gracing the parfors
Of the fair brides mother, the wedding on
Thursday evening, Feb. 9th, of Miss
Blanche G. Magens of Beverly, and Mr..
Horace B. Spackman of Burlington,
though quiet, was very beautiful. The
ceremony which, despite the inclement
weather was very largely attended, was
performed at o'clock, by the Rev. P W.
Stryker, rector of St. Stephens Episcopal
church, Beverly. The nuptials were
succeeded by handsome reception, an
elegant supper being catered by Dubel

very popular Burlington pharmaceutist,
and his accomplished bride, is highly
and well known in Beverly
circles. The happy couple TO whom we
tender our hearty congratulations and
best wishes, intend as we learn, making
Burlington their future home, but
conclusion, deeply regretted by the many
Beverly friends of the bride.

cidentally fell down stairs at her home,
and sustained a fracture of her collar-bone.

her physician, DIR. Rink, has strong hopes
Of her entire recovery. Mrs. R is the
venerable widow of the late Joel Raik-
iraw, whose indefatigable Sunday school
labors are still remembered.

Horn, unfortunately met with similar
misshsp-her injury was confined to her

A SEVERE OPERATION.
SamI A. Schuyler, engaged in Mr..
Birch's carriage factory, some months
since, was troubled at night partiularly,
with a sharp, singing pain in his left eye
and without any apparent cause. All ap-
plicatious were of no avail, and his sight
becoming affected he had recourse to
glasses. The pain increasing, he lately
visited Willis Eye and Ear Infrmary,
Phila., and upon an examination, the
trouble was pronounced, cancer in the
eye, part of the body rarely affected
with this disease. An operation being
decided as the only means of relief, the
sufferer manfully submitted to the same
land the agony of which no language can
expressJ under the skillful treatment of
DR.. Strawbridge of that institution. At
the moment of writing, Schuyler enter
tains hopes of his eyesight not being per-
affected.

ern Bank of Liberties, Phila., and his
Miss M. R. G, sailed on satur-

six weeks.
Samuel johnson, who short time ago
unfortunately lost one toe, and another
badly mashed by being caught in an

stalled as ohoiristers of St. Mary's church
