MARRIED, At the M.E. Church Utica, Van Buren Co, Iowa, Tuesday evening, 23rd inst., at 8 o'clock, Rev. J.A. Wilson, officiating, Dr. J.M. Randall and Miss S. Ollie Fegtley, all of Utica.

As will be seen by the above announcement, the important event foreshadowed in our paper last week has transpired. One of Van Buren county's best young men and most skillful physicians has succeeded in leading to the hymenial alter on of Van Buren county's fairest and loveliest daughters, and together they start on the voyage of, we trust, a prosperous and happy life. It was our privilege to witness the interesting ceremony of tieing the nuptial knot, and to join a select party of friends in partaking of the marriage supper at the residence of the bride's mother.

Having spent some two or three hour very pleasantly, about 11 o'clock we departed for home, feeling that Doc. and Ollie were both fortunate-he in securing a good wife, and she a good husband. May nothing over occur to mar their happiness.
