Weddings Galore!

CupicT oil a Bender, And MarI riagesof Almost Daily Occurrence- i It has never, to the best of our remembrance, been the pleasure of The Republican to record so many prominent weddings in any one issue as have occurred in Rensselaer since we went to press last Wednesday afternoon. In the town itself the number of marriages is four, and the surrounding townships have not been idle, as-the long list of marriage licenses issued by the clerk, during the time mentioned, amply proves. . t Mingled with the pleasure naturally felt in recording the union of so many pairs of loving hearts, is also a large measure of regret in consideration of the fact that two of the fair brides have alreadyceased to reside among us, and removed to distant cities, and a third is united to a husband whose occupation, that of a teacher, is almost certain to prevent a protracted residence in apy one place. REUBELT—RHOADS. A lhe marriage of Miss Ella Rhoads, the amiable and lovely daughter of Mr. Peter Rhoads, to Mr. Isaac 0. Reubelt, teacher of the Grammar room, in the Rensselaer schools, was solemnized on Wednesday evening of last week, at the residence of the bride’s . parents, in Rensselaer, in the I rcsence of a pleasant company of .invited guests.
