A double wedding in Church is quite a rare event, and the announcement drew out a large assemblage at the Baptist Church on Wednesday evening of last week on which occasion the marriage of Mr. Charles E Comstock to Miss Julia L Daniels, daughter of Asa M. Daniels, Esq. and Mr. George W. Nagel to Miss Emma W. Coville was celebrated. A beautiful double arch was erected in front of the altar from which hung an elegant and ponderous marriage bell. The altar was trimmed with flowers and in front of the organ was a harp constructed of everlastings. The ceremony took place at eight o'clock and was performed by Rev. Mr. Haynes, pastor of the Church, assisted by Rev. S. Scoville. As the party stood before the altar with a flood of light streaming upon the rich dresses of the brides and the kindly smiles of the whole audience beaming upon them, a picture was presented that will never be forgotten. The reverend gentlemen performed the ceremony promptly and effectively and but few moments passed before the whole picture melted away like a dissolving view - the bridal party returning by carriages to the residence of Mr. Daniels, where refreshments were served and congratulations of friends tendered. We are informed that the bridal presents were numerous and elegant and that the occasion was one of joy and pleasure. The principals to this pleasant affair are from among our most respected young people, and in their journey together down the river of life they have the best wishes of hosts of friends. May they live long and prosper.

The following pleasant notice of a wedding which took place in this village on Thursday last, we clip from the Albany Argus of Saturday.
Mr. D. Spencer Dennison, manager of the Albany branch of the publishing house of Johnson & Miles, was united in marriage with Miss Ella May Holcomb, of Norwich, Chenango County, on Thursday. The ceremony was performed at the residence of the bride by Rev. Mr. Loveridge. Mr. Dennison is one of our energetic and highly respected young businessmen and has certainly drawn a prize in the hymeneal lottery, for the bride is an estimable young lady of many endearing qualities and in every respect worthy of the gentleman with whose fortunes her own are linked. The presents were numerous and costly and were accompanied, it is needless to say, with the best wishes for the prosperity of the worthy couple. Mr. and Mrs. Dennison will take up their residence in Albany.

HART: A little daughter of Charles Hart living near Southwick's mill in Homer [Cortland Co. NY], was fatally burned a few days since. Her mother had left her with two other children, while she stepped into a neighbor's house for a moment. The older one played with some loose paper, lighted it at the stove and set the child's dress on fire. She died in thirty-six hours.
SPURR: We learn that the late Angel C Spurr, of whose death we made mention last week, was a former resident of Columbus [Chenango Co. NY] and brother of F.J. Spurr, of that town. A number of years ago he left for Kansas, where he has since been engaged in farming. It seems that a creek or stream ran through his farm, over which he was accustomed to ford, and the water being high, the team got off from the usual course and were swept into deep water, and he was drowned. The two men that were with him made out to get to shore. They say that they saw him come to the surface once and cry for help, and then all was over. The remains were brought to Columbus for burial and a large concourse of friends followed him to the grave on Monday last. New Berlin Gazette

WARDWELL: In North Pharsalia [Chenango Co. NY], Dec. 22d, Mr. Myron Wardwell aged 48 years.
Myron Wardwell, son of the late Benjamin Wardwell, died last Saturday night about 11 o'clock, from injuries received by the fall of a limb, while engaged in cutting logs for Erasamus Brown, Esq., on the farm owned by Emery Barnes. Mr. Brown and his son, Lu, and another hired man, were with Wardwell at the time of the accident. It seems they had cut a maple tree, and while the tree was falling, some of the party saw a limb falling directly over Wardwell's head and called loudly to him to get out of the way of its descent, but for some unknown cause he gave no heed to the call. The limb struck him upon the right portion of the head, thence, glancing off, striking his shoulder and crushing him to the earth. he was taken to the residence of Mr. Brown, where he received the care of kind friends, and medical treatment, but of no avail. He having no relatives hereabouts, the neighbors have given him proper care and attention through his troubles and death. The funeral services will be held from the Methodist Church, at North Pharsalia, at 12 o'clock today. He was the only mourner at his father's funeral, and now there is no relative here to bear a part in the funeral obsequies today. He was forty-eight years of age. He leaves no family relatives except a younger brother, who resides in Oregon.
