Ensign Powell to Marry.

Another hero of the war is about to
receive at the marriage altar his reward
Of valor, says the New York Journal.
Ensign Joseph Wright Powell, hero
second only to Lieut.. Hobson, Of the
feat of sinking the Merrimac in Santi-
ago harbor, will soon become a BRIDE
groom. Miss Bertha Osterhout, of Os-
wego, is the bride-elect, The young
couple have been friends from baby
hood. They were schOolmates and
classmates, and often met society. 1t
is said by those who should know that
the love affair into which their friend
ship ripened was one-sided, and the
side of Mr.. Powells until he distin-
guished himself in the war. His valOr
won what his pleadings could not, the
girl of his heart. The tide Of her favor
set in when she read of his exploit at
Santiago. When he returned, fever
stricken, from Cuba she called often at
his home, and even asked and received
the privilege Of nursing him back to
health. The romance will eliminate
in wedding at the old church Of the
Evangelists, in Oswego, next month.
