attended the wedding, mostly from the
neighborhood, and the whole affair was
as charming as the bride was lovely,
the groom happy and the weather de-
lightful. AS no rain drops fell, so
may the bride never have reason to
shed a tear. The bridal party spent

lise containing seventy-two pints and
thirty-on quarts Of contraband Whis-

was no address. Four kegs containing
four gallons and three quarts each, ad-
dressed to Sampson Brown, was captur-

have been intended for Chester. Samp-
son Brown is not known here but the
whisky would have found someone to
receive it, if there had been no inter-
ruption.
