MATRIMONIAL. ARADWELL—DARTON, A qulet, happy, unosteutatious wedding was that of Miss Hattfo Barton, dauchter of W. A. Barton, Esq., and Mr, Thomas Bradwell, at tho residence of the bride's parents, Nn. 1650 Wa- bash avenue, last evenlnz. Tho family resi- dence was well filled with the fricnds of the young people, who started them forthon the sca of matrimony with best wishes for thelr hapolucss and prosperity. The ccremony was erformed by the Rev. J. I Hlibbard, of the cstimation above other Chariles and Toddle- kinses. The wrath of tho wronged matrons has been dirceted against the editors and proprie- tors of the Daily News, swho fu an evil hour un- dertook the delicate task of counting the votes. They were seduced into this ambitious labor by the glittering prospect of belog enabled to get ahead of all contemporarles with a funny articie. But this was not to be. It took them six hours of hard work, and the entire business ot the establishment had to be suspended, Now, with their vaulting ambition, see how they have got their foot in it.
