NEWRY NOTES.

  On New Year's Day Mr. R. Powell, of Altoona, and Miss Laura Sell, the 
esteemed daughter of Rev. Brice Sell, of near Newry, were joined in the 
holy bonds of matrimony at the residence of the bride's parents, by 
Rev. John B. Fluck, of Loysburg, Bedford county.  The guests numbered 
about forty, who gathered during the day.  When they had all gathered 
they began to untie the presents, which were many, costly and very 
useful, after which they were invited to the dining room, where sat a 
table groaning under the weight of its luxurious load.  After all had 
eaten to their satisfaction, they repaired to the parlor, where at 2 
p.m., the words were said which gave the two the same name (Powell).  
The bride is one of Freedom township's finest young ladies, and is 
highly esteemed by all who know her.  We wish to join in wishing the 
happy couple a pleasant trip over the sea of life.
