Venango county, Penna.
Wonders never cease! We had tho't our friend James too intimately wedded to
one idea and that idea Single Blessedness, to go and wed another idea and that
idea – a woman! But so it is. He has become divorced from the one to be
happily united to the other. Such being the case, we congratulate him upon the
exchange or metamorphosis or whatever you choose to call it. In this new
relation, may he experience all manner of prosperity and happiness – may his
brightest dreams of wedded bliss be more than realized – may he live a hundred
years. In short may he prove a happy husband, and she an affectionate wife.
