Wednesday evening, Jan. l4, at the residence of the bride's mother, MRS. VAN NOSTRAND, MR. FRANK. O. HOFFMAN and MISS ANNA VAN NOSTRAND were united in the holy bonds of matrimony, Rev. H.H. Hubbell officiating. The bride is one of Leon's brightest and most intelligent young ladies, being also the granddaughter of the late highly esteemed L.W. HEBENER, while the groom is one of Leon's best and truest young men. Nothing can be said too good of either of the contracting parties. A most excellent repast was served and everyone felt better for the evening spent. None but the immediate friends of the family were present, the wedding being private. The gifts were very beautiful, being mostly silver. We understand the wedding and bride's cake will be sent out to friends next week.
