He came to this city and obtained his license, paying over $3 therefor. but for some reason not as yet transpired, failed to arrive where the beautiful belle was awaiting him. The friends assembled to witness the interesting ceremony were compelled to retire one and all, deeply sympathizing with the unhappy young lady. The young man, however, turned up on yesterday afternoon, and the wedding was celebrated in due form, amid the congratulations of the friends of the happy pair. An accident unfortunately prevented the groom from appearing on Monday evening.
