12 Nov. 1857 MARRIED
    Married on the 10th instant, by Rev. James Ritchey, 
Mr. Anson H. Rose and Miss Julia A. Wampler, all of this 
town. Not withstanding the agreement of our citizens to 
shut down on Wampler, we observe, from the above, 
that Anson has been the first to violate the resolve. 
Were it not for the liberal bribe sent us, in the shape of 
some very eatable cake, we should feel inclined to expose 
him, but as the deed is done, there is no help for it, and we 
therefore wish him and his bride all the happiness and joy 
imaginable. May his Wampler never be subject to discount, 
and may peace and plenty, harmony snd love, attend their 
pathway through life.
