They write from Hampshire [England], that on Monday was
Se'night last, at Bishop's Waltham in that county a marriage
was solemnized, at which it was remarkable that the ages of
6 persons, namely, the bride, bride-groom, 2 bride-men and 2
bride-maids, made up 500 years:  that a neighbouring
gentleman had been very liberal on that account, by opening
the pubick house free to all comers, and distributed above a
hundred favours:   And that the evening concluded with
ringing of bells and other rejoycings.
