4 DELUDED BRIDE.

A Wedding Spoiled by the non-Appear-
ance of the Groom, Who Skips Out at the
Eleventh Hour.
There was to have been wedding cere-
mony up on Bedford street yesterday
morning, but like the good man in the
proverb the feast was spread and the
guests were hidden but as the main guy
failed to make hisi appearance and
at the eleventh hour the wedding was de-
clared off. The expecEant bride resides
near the pillow works, and she is young and
pretty and of highly respectable family.
The bridegroom resides on Mendoza
street, and he, too, boasts of frst-class con-
nections, albeit he has the reputation
among the boys of being a gay and giddy
masher.
For the sake of convenience it was de-
cided that the ceremony should take place
at the residence of a lady friend of the
bride, whose home is on Bedford street.
The courtshlp had been conducted with the
usual romance and ardor, and up to the
hour set for the ceremony all seemed to go
as merry as marriage bell.
At the appointed hour the bride appeared
biushing and pretty, and the guests were
assembled to witness and bless the bans.
But the bridegroom was want
ing and a long, weary
and fiuttering suspense ensued.
An hour passed sway, and then lapsed into
two or three, when some one suggested
that something must be the matter with
The groom. Then messenger was sent
out to bring him in, but the answer came
that he could not be found This was
more than the bride could stand, and she
retired from the room in tears, and the
guests dispersed. At last accounts the
groom was still missing.

Death of Dr. q. w. Gran
than.
BUNKER HILL, Mar. IL, 'S3.

BUNKER HILL, Mar. IL, SO.
1t becomes my unpleasant duty to
announce the death of our esteemed
friend, DR. Geo. w. Grantham, who
passed peacefully away on Sunday
night, March 4th, 1888, aged AZ years,
2 months and IA days. AS the slow
progress of his disease, consumption,
brought him within the confines of
his room, he seemed to bear his suf'
ferings with fortitude and meek
ness.
My long personal acquaintance
with the Doctor, enables me tospeak
confidently OF his merits. AS a
schoolmate and scholar he had few
superiors. His susceptible mind
seemed to grasp everything with
eagerness and carry him beyond his
classmates in the requirements. His
frail frame seemed scarcely capable
of sustaining such a bright intellect;
yet he went through his collegiate
course, and at the age of 81 year s
graduated in his chosen profession
with the highest honors at the Rich
mond Medical College. Our associ.
atoms have been uninterrupted, ex-
cept by our late civil war, after
which he located in his native vii
lage, Middleway, where he only re-
manned a short time from thence
he went to Gerardstown, associated
himself with the venerable DR.. Coe,
and successfully managed a large
and lucrative practice. Here he
married Miss Bette Griffith, with
whom he lived happily until 1879,
when she died. He afterwards loca.
ted at Bunker Hill. In May, 1882,
he was again married to Miss Hattie
Surghnor, of Phillippi, whom he
leaves to mourn his loss. In the last
two years of the Doctors life we
have been intimately associated,
having lived under the same roof
happily together. 1t was my privi-
lege to be with him in his last illness
and to administer to his wants in
the hour Of need. l watched closely
the progress Of the disease, and could
clearly discern the change of fea-
lures as life was ebbing away. On
Saturday night he asked me many
questions in regard to his condition.
He seemed to know that he was near
the end, yet he did not so express
himself. On Sunday he appeared
brighter than usual-many friends
called TO see him. About 8 O'Clock
he called for cup of tea. His wife
was preparing this when she was
summoned to his bedside, and he
thus addressed her: Darling, lam
dying-wakcn mother-tell Charley
to come" AS his mother came to
him he said, "Mother, feel my pulse,
| am dying, but l am not frighten-
ed. I'll soon be at rest. Good Lord
receive my spirit" He bid us all
farewell, and laid calmly down to
sleep until the resurrection morn.
His remains were followed to Ger
ardstown, and laid by the side of his
first wife. An excellent sermon was
preached by Rev. Ed. Wilson, from
