A joyous wedding was consummated at Wm. SCHULTZ' on Christmas evening, when August SCHULTZ and Dorothea SCHULTZ were united in marriage, by Rev. NEWMAN. Mr. SCHULTZ is a brother of John and Charley, and will reside on a part of the SWENSON farm.

DEATH.
We are much pained to learn of the death of a niece, Mrs. Stella M. WILCOX, at Cresco. She will be remembered here as Stella HALSTED. She lived with us and attended school here some years ago. She leaves a husband and three small children, besides father and mother, brothers and one sister.
