supper was over (and the rain) the contracting parties started for the N.Y.C.R.R. station and took a train for
Brooklyn where they will remain among friends for some time. May peace and prosperity attend them through life.

Newport
In Newport, Tuesday, at half-past three o'clock, at the Baptist Church, occurred the marriage of Miss Libbie E. Schuyler and Geo. H. Stratton. The ceremony was beautiful, and was witnessed by a very large number of friends. Miss Schuyler is preceptress in the Union School at Newport, and is the only child of Windsor D. Schuyler. Their home was formerly in this village [Herkimer], where the family have a host of warm friends. Mr. Stratton is a young man of culture, and we bespeak for the newly wed a very happy and prosperous life. The Editors of the DEMOCRAT extend their heartiest congratulations and best wishes.
