Inthe Brook- correspondence in the Kentland Enterprise of February Ist is the annolmcpment of the coming marriage of Miss ’ Madeline Ramp, daughter of Mrs. ‘Charles Ramp, of this city, to Mr, Hefiry Regus, of New Louisiana. The wedding will occur on April 24th. The following is taken from The Enterprise : “Mrs. John Lawrence entertained eighteen guests at seven o’clock dinner Monday evening and announced the coming marriage of Miss Madeline Ramp, of Rensselaer, to Mr. Henry Regus, of New Orleans. The affair was a complete surprise to everyone, who believed Miss Ramp to be in the west, having lately accepteda government position there as matron in an Indian school and the information was given out by means of a clever ruse. The table was decorated in an elegant manner and immediately the guests were seated the lights were turned off in the dining room and .those neatly leaving the guests in total darkness, whereupon the hostess fained chagrin at having forgotten to light the candles adornng the table and busied herself to procure a rnatdh, asking a friend assisting in the hospitalities to also strike one. The first small rays of light revealed Miss Madeline and her sister; Miss Martha Ramp, who had slipped in to their places under cover of darkness to the astonishment of their guests. The entertainment that followed between courses disclosed the happy secret of the engagement .and the wedding to take place in Rensselaer April 24th. Miss Ramp was a former instructor in the Brook school and won a large place in the affections of all who knew her. A few weeks ago she left to take up the duties of the new position 'but was intercepted by the lucky man, who persuaded her to make different plans. Mrs. Harry Warr and Mrs. T. L. Davis assisted Mrs. Lawrence during the happy evening.
