We are reliably informed that another wedding will take place in the "Corner" this week, also that Cooks and Barnes will soon be bound by stronger ties than crosstle?, and judging by the hurried preparations that are being made at Mr. -, sewing, cooking and brushing up for -Xmas, we are almost persuaded that a double wedding will come off there in the sweet by and by.
