M'Allaster-Clapp 

Married on Tuesday, 1st inst., at the residence of the bride's father by the Rev. 
R. Clapp, Mr. J. L. P. M'Allaster of Ebensburg to Miss Caroline Clapp of Resident, 
Venango county, Penna.

Wonders never cease!  We had tho't our friend James too intimately wedded to 
one idea and that idea Single Blessedness, to go and wed another idea and that 
idea – a woman!  But so it is.  He has become divorced from the one to be 
happily united to the other.  Such being the case, we congratulate him upon the 
exchange or metamorphosis or whatever you choose to call it. In this new 
relation, may he experience all manner of prosperity and happiness – may his 
brightest dreams of wedded bliss be more than realized – may he live a hundred 
years. In short may he prove a happy husband, and she an affectionate wife.
