Leeds, Nov. 30. On Thursday the 18th instant were married
at Ealand, John Mason, widower, aged 75, to Elizabeth
Armitage, widow, aged 79, of Ealand workhouse, where they
had contract a very intimate acquaintance. They were
brought from the workhouse to church in a post-chaise, with
suitable attendance; from whence they adjourned to the
parish-clerk's, where they dined with the town officers and
other principal inhabitants. After dinner the bride walked
a minuet with one of the attendants, as did also the
bridegroom with a young woman of neighbourhood; and to shew
his extraordinary agility, he would afterwards divert the
company by dancing a hornpipe.--
