Married - At the United Presbyterian Church, Cedarville, O., on the morning of the 17th, by Rev. Win. S. Findley, MOLLIE M., daughter of M.B. Loy, Esq., and JAS. HENRY EASTON, of the firm of Wm. L. Easton & Son, Bankers, &c., of this place.
Henceforth we shall know what, to expect when young men and maidens indulge in excursions to St. Paul. To be sure “it’s a nice place to go to,” as we said last year; but the air up there, or the moonlight nights on the Mississippi have a wonderful effect upon hearts. One year- ago two young men and maidens took the journey: so the above is the second announcement of events which have since transpired. Be it known, therefore, by all men, that white kids, lace veils, and cards are the natural consequences of going to St. Paul. One by one the bachelors are dropping into the Benedict ranks; a few are yet left, but we hope ere long to be able to say a good word over them. There is - but we won't mention names yet - time enough this summer and fall. May you make as good a choice as Easton has, and we hope to able to wish you all the happiness, etc., which we now wish our friends, the handsome and accomplished bride and groom
