  An event of more than usual importance to the contracting parties and 
their friends, occurred on Wednesday evening, when Revere Duganne, son 
of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Duganne, of South Bedford street, and Miss 
Martha Wilt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wilt, of Poplar Run, were 
united in marriage by Rev. F. H. Schrader, pastor of the Lutheran 
church.  Mr. Duganne is one of the town's most promising young men, and 
holds a responsible position with the Pennsylvania railroad, at 
Altoona.  His brode [sic] is a young lady of intelligence, of pleasing 
manners and affable address, and well calculated to perform the duties 
of a wife.  Mr. Duganne's fellow workmen came out in large numbers from 
Altoona, and with the aid of the townspeople, gave the young couple an 
old fashioned charivari.  After a short honey moon they will go to 
housekeeping in Altoona.
