    2. Macomb. Correspondence of The Monitor. The great social event of the neighborhood, since our last communication, was the marriage of Mr. Thomas H. WAINES and Miss Julia A. LONGSTAFF, on the afternoon of January 28th. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. W. J. BALMER, at the residence of her mother, on the homestead, and was strictly private. Miss Gussie GIDDINGS, who has been in Lapeer County since last autumn, has returned to Macomb. She is the daughter of the late Levi F. GIDDINGS. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob FRIES have been called upon to perform the sorrowful duty of burying their infant son, Herbert, who died on the 30th day of January 1891, aged 6 months. He had never been a robust, healthy child. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Ostrander, of Disco, at the residence of the afflicted parents, in the English neighborhood, Clinton, and the burial was in the cemetery at Prestonville on Sunday 1st inst. This is the 6th time that death has invaded the family circle of Mr. and Mrs. FRIES, and claimed an infantile victim, leaving them only a girl and boy to cheer their fireside. "All that's bright must fade, The brightest still the fleetest; All that's sweet was made But to be lost when sweetest."
