Thursday evening' next there will be a matrimonial mating in this city that will, to quite an extent, paralyze a number of our society swells, and create consternation in the ranks of the local beaux.

This is none other than tho marriage of Miss Jennie Dickey, one of tho most cultured, captivating and accomplished young ladies in tho city, On the occasion mentioned Miss Dickey will link her destiny with that of Mr. Chas. Mar tin, who is now in the city awaiting tho coming evciit. To her many friends this act of Miss Dickey was a surprise, since the acquaince of her self and dates back to tho early part of October) only, when she went on a visit to relatives residing at Burlington Junction. At this time Miss Dickey and Mr.

Martin first met. Impressions of iiiutuol admira tion grew out of this chance acquain tance amid rapidly assumed definite form, finally resulting in an engagement, which is soon to culminate in marriage. Mr. Martin is a young gentleman of 22 years, of fine address, agreeable manners and fine business capacity, having oo'c'upied positions of trust and responsibility from early youth. He is reputed to have accumulated a handsome competency thus early in life, and embarks on the matrimonial voyage with roseate prospects lining the horizon of tho future.

The weddihg is being kept close secret, not to exceed a dozen intimate friends up to date feeing admittted to it, but In an evil hour a prowling re porter, with ears alert, overheard a couple of gentlemen discussing the situation, and there being a wonderful dearth of items at this tearful juncture, this startling news was caught oh the Wing, the public taken into reportorial confidence, just by way of a change. The Sons of Veterans held a regular meeting last Saturday afternoon, and completed the organization of the camp, and also mustered hi a few more boys.
