Marriage in High Life.

  EDS. TRIBUNE:  Had your attention been attracted - as was ours - to 
the depot yesterday morning as the Pacific express was about to leave 
for Pittsburgh, you could have witnessed the getting on board of the 
same - a happy wedding party.  As their smiling faces were turned 
toward us we at once perceived outlined thereon great anxiety; even 
fright depicted on some, fearing, no doubt, that some mishap might 
befall them ere they reached their destination, Johnstown.  The happy 
party consisted of George Houser, groom; Miss Mary Burg, bride; Louisa 
Frederick Espenlaub, bridesmaid; Mr. Martin Burg; groomsman; Mr. Jacob 
Guhler being the leader of the grand escort.  After reaching Johnstown 
they were escorted to the residence of Rev. T. Nortz, the German 
Lutheran minister, who united them in holy wedlock.  On their return 
home last evening the groom kindly extended an invitation to the 
Concordia Glee Club to call around, which request they readily complied 
with, turning out en masse to do honor to the happy couple.  We are 
told they had a happy time.  Our best wishes go with them.
