Good Bye, Fair Maiden.

Miss Matie Howard bade adieu last to her old borne and the scenes of her childhood and departed for pastures new. Her destination was Wichita, Kansas, near which place she has two sisters and an only bi other living. She expected to reach her destination yesterday, where she was to meet Rev. J. W. Can 1 *, a gentleman with whom she got acquainted while attejuding noinial scbool at Lebanon, Ohio, and to whom she was probably married to-day. At least each was the programme laid out upon her departure from this place and if nothing occurred to prevent, it was carried into effect. We sincerely hope their union will be attended with God’s richest blessings, and unite with the beautiful bride’s many friends at this place in wishing the happy couple a long life of usefulness. They enter upon this new life with a bright and promising future before them. May they realize the full fruition of their fondest hopes, and may their union be blessed with a sufficient number of little Canes to support and comfort them when they grow old.
