Last Wednesday there was a general exodus of our citizens in all manner of vehicles and upon various quadrupeds. The mystery of their departure was caused by the marriage of Mr. Lamy Chopin with one of Natchitoches' lovely maidens, the daughter of Mr. Joseph Henry. We are informed by those who attended, that the affair was a most brilliant one, and that young hearts beat merry time to music's enchanting strains until the "wee small hours" of the succeeding morn.
