The above notice perhaps contains
all the NEWS that the outside world
will care for in regard to the transac-

Of more than such brief mention. WE,

Billy to be one Of the salt Of the earth,
and the young lady he has cho@en for
his life companion to be worthy Of ev-
cry confidence and respect. Our desire
for them is that with each rew day
their lives may receive new blessings,
new conlforts--e2chm more precious than
any that has preceded. That when
they shall have reached the end Of
their earthly Journey they may be able
to look back upon long lives filed with
usefulness and happiness, the tulness
of which began on the date above CIV
en--,Iuly 10th, 1855.
