Eodes were to have been married
about two weeks ago, but on account
of the severe illness of the lat.er per
son the marriage was postponed, and
as the chance for her recovery grew
more doubtful, she requested that the
Ceremony be performed before she
died, which was domestic in bed aud

of Eelleyville, officiating. The pride,
at this writing, mas revived q little,
and there is some hope of her re-
cOvery.
