It came about this way. Miss JENNIE PHILLIPS, of this city, went to the Delaware Water Gap, to visit friends; this was also the destination of SAMUEL. They rode together on the same train, in the same car, and in the same seat. The journey was quite long, but none too long for SAMUEL, who suggested to JENNIE, that they prong the trip through life. JENNIE was nothing loth, so, on Saturday night, Dec 28th, the lamps were lighted in the Delaware Water Gap M. E. Church, and at 8 o'clock, the Rev Mr Curtis made the happy couple one.
