Twin Brothers Marry Twin Sisters
At Moreau, N. Y., Messrs. Eleazer and Josiah STODDARD, twin brothers, of Rupert, Vt., ages 27 years, to Misses Emily and Almira STILL (twin sisters), ages 23 years. The eldest brother took the youngest sister and vice versa. The two couples stood together, joined hands respectively, and were united in the bands of wedlock by one ceremony. It is said of these gentlemen, that they are respectable farmers, that they hold their property in common stock; that they calculate on this method of living in the future; and that they had mutually agreed not to marry, unless they could find helpmates as nearly allied in birth and friendship as themselves. It is believed that heaven has favored their wishes and put each in possession of his favorite rib.
