From Dayton.
Wedding - The Fruit Corp - Decoration Day, & c.
Special DIspatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
DAYTON, May 4.
A brilliant wedding in Grace M. E. Church,
to-night, attracted a crowd of visitors. Dr.
Courtland Ellsworth, of Piqua, was married to Miss
Hattie Lewis, daughter of B. W. Lewis, Esq.,
of this city. At the meeting of
the Horticultural Society yesterday, reports of members
showed that the fruit crop was considerable damaged by the
recent frosts, and the yield of most kinds will probably
fall short of half a crop.
Arrangements are being
made for appropriate ceremonies on decoration day, both in
the city and at the Soldiers' Home.
The excitement on the Short Line Railroad question has
subsided. |

A Much Married Printer
CHATTANOOGA, TENN., Jan. 26 - E. H. EYER, a
printer who a short time since left this city for California
in the track of a Mrs. GREEN, said to be from
Falmouth, Ky., is a much married man, judging from the
following letter received here from his third wife. It
is written from Covington, Ky., and signed M. EYER.
She says: "E. H. has been the laughing stock all
around Northern Kentucky. He has made himself very
conspicuous, and has had three wives. He left wife No.
1 in Philadelphia. He married a woman in Piqua, O., at
the close of the late rebellion. He had no divorce
from his first wife, and left her with a little girl.
Three months later he left his last wife. EYER
then went out West with a widow under an assumed name, and
lived with her nine years. She followed him around,
and finally he shook her, and I was the next victim. |
