An old man by the name of Kirkpatrick, who has been on the poor farm for some time, was today married to a woman, Sarah Lewis, who is also an inmate of the farm. What they intend to do in the future the Register has no idea.

POOR FARM
The couple who were married at the Poor Farm a day or two since, had been discharged, and are now living in this city. Friends furnished them with 10 days rations and some articles of household furniture.
L.H. Robertson, an inmate of the hospital department, is quite low, and it is doubtful if he ever recovers.
The crops are all reported as flourishing by Superintendent Wilkins.
