For some time past the doctor has
been improving his place, and things
have had a mysterious turn. No one
could secure any satisfaction from
him as to his intentions, and the air
Of mystery deepened as various con-
fiicting reports came into circulation
and different domestic furnishings
were seen to arrive at his place of
business. The younger population to
the number of forty or fifty could no
longer restrain themselves, and to
the music of tin cans and powder
cans, wash tubs, cow bells, etc., back
ed by good lungs, appeared on the
scene for three successive evenings
to find they were still wrong and lack
ing for proof of their expected treat.
But Monday, July 4, few intimate
friends received invitations to attend
and the ceremony was witnessed at
the home of the newly welded couple
which the doctor had finished and fur
nished, even to an elegant dinner,
which, though the weather was in
clement, was partaken or by happy
company who spent the afternoon
pleasantly, leaving the doctor and his
wife at home in the evening. where
they may be found at home to their
many friends and acquaintance. The
best wishes OF their many friends,
whose name is legion, join in wishing
them happiness and success in their
new relations in life.
