Another old bachelor has become a victim to Leap Year's ruling. CHRIS ADAMS becomes the husband of MISS ROSA FRAKES, of Decatur County. The marriage was performed at Clarion Tuesday. CHRIS thought that he could escape the matrimonial snare for several years to come, but he was too slow, and was captured without any warning. MR. ADAMS is a prosperous young man of Woolstock Township, formerly a farmer but now he is a merchant. The bride is a young lady highly esteemed, and the daughter of R. FRAKES, formerly a farmer of Woolstock Township, but now a resident of Decatur County. Success to the newly married couple and may sunshine always be their lot.
