The marriage engagement of Miss Alice Beverley
to a young Indiana officer, distinguished for his patriotism and
military ardor, has been announced at the old Beverley homestead
on the hill, and the high contracting parties have planned that
the wedding ceremony shall take place under the famous little
flag, on the anniversary of dark's capture of Post Vincennes. When
the bride shall be brought to her new home on the banks of the
Wabash, the flag will come with her; but Oncle Jazon will not be
on hand with his falsetto shout: "VIVE LA BANNIERE D'ALICE
ROUSSILLON! VIVE ZHORZZH VASINTON!"
