The latest moose in this vicinity is the mar.
rage OF Roswell Hobbs (widower) to Mrs.
Emma w. Hobbs widow. The happy event
was almost as sudden as Western cyclone, or
charleston earthquake and we have no
theory to publish regarding either Rev.
j.. L. Lassell 'stied the knot at II o'clock on
Thursday night, 2lst. 1t appears that the pas
tor was hard to find, and the invited guests
were just leaving when he drove up to the
manse and made the blushing pair one, 'still
death do ye part at the hour named. The
happy couple drove to the Parsonage at this
place at an early hour in the evening to dis
patch the business in hand. The reverend
gentleman was holding revival meeting away
up In Long Corner, so a messenger had to be
sent for him who found him discoursing on
the parable of the foolish virgins. As con-
sequence it was at late hour that he gather
ed his shekels.
The fact of the couple having driven here
was soon noised around, and company of
fun loving individuals repaired to Mr.. "a. IS
house, prepared for an old fashioned sere-
made of the tin horn, &c. order. Imagine
their cbagrin when informed that they were
too previous. fancy it almost equalled Brat
tan's of the E. City Times when he 'announc
ed Republican meeting that did not come off.
Long life to the happy pair thus made one,
