Visiting brethren cordially invited. Marriages and Deaths. The Visitor is always willing to publish the records of marriages and deaths. Aside from being news for the public it is due to the parties in terested that such events should be known. It is often very difficult, however to get the full particulars in such cases, and, of course, it is a somewhat delicate matter to call at private residences for the purpose In fact, it is not the usual custom to do so, as, in most cities and towns such notices are furnished the press. It should be done in all cases, if pos sible, so that mistakes may be avoid ed. To guess at the age, &c, of a person who has died, or the names in full of a bride, bridegroom, waiters, &c. at a marriage is no easy matter. Let our friends send in all such no tices, and they will be promptly inserted.
