MISS OSBORNE- -MR GILBERT.
The people of Stepney and Hunting

party, last week Tuesday, when the facts
leaked out that Miss Anna M. Oaborne
had eloped with Levi C. Gilbert, Jr.
Miss Ooborne the daughter of George
Osborne, leader of the Bradley orchestra,
and Mr Gilbert la the son of the well
known butcher at Hunting town. Mrs
Osborne and younger daughter were In
Bethel making a visit and on Tuesday
Mr Osborne drove over for them to bring
them home. It was during his absence
that the "young gallant" called and flew
away with hU lady, not stopping till
they reached Portchester, N. Y., where
they were quietly married. On Thurs
day evening they returned from a shore
wedding trip and were given a welcome
by a party of friends. It didn't take
much of a judge to surmise that some
thing unusual bad occurred, for of all
the noises on earth the serenade they
were tendered on their return stood at
the head. Drums, tin pans, cannon and
guns were used without stint. Mr and
Mra Gilbert will for the present make
their home with Mr Gilbert's father at
the Hillside Market Farm, but In the
fall he is expecting to build a handsome
residence near to those of his father and
brother.
