On Wednesday, afternoon at about 4
O'Clock, Alex. B. Hewes, of the mill
firm of Hewes s. Mitchell, and Miss
Sarah G.. Hurf, only daughter of Aaron
Hurff, entered a carriage and took the
road to Clarksboro. Nov there is moth
ing particularly startling in the fact that
a young gentleman and lady 60 for q
ride, but when these true and tried
lovers started out it looked as if it meant
business. And 30 it proved, for they
sought the residence of Rev. J. Y. Burke,
where the nuptial knot was tied, and
they quietly returned home about 8
O'Clock. Mr.. Hewes had let a member of
his family into the grand secret, with the
injunction not to tell, but we learn that
that member did tell another member
and somehow the general assistant rector
of old Trinity was in it and the secret
leaked out, and shortly after 10 o'clock
the ears of the neighborhood were
saluted with the usual calithumpian din.
However, alPs we'll that ends we'll,
aud the friends were invited in and a
good time generally was enjoyed. We
join with scores of other friends in con-
CALCULATIONS and kind wishes for the
future health and prosperity of the happy
pair.
