Mr. Harry GAINES died at an early hour yesterday morning at the residence of J.W. FINCH. Having been in feeble health a long time, he was quiet and reserved; and though he mingled but little among people, he was highly esteemed by all who knew him. Funeral services were held last night at Mr. FINCH’s residence. The remains were sent to Richmond this morning for burial.

Our old friend, ‘Squire S.B. LORE writes to the Dispatch about a few marriages that he “attended to during Christmas times.” On the 24th, Mr. Samuel MEDLIN and Miss Cornelia EVERHART called upon him to the matrimonial knot for them. The next day he went to the residence of Mrs. Elizabeth CROTTS, where he performed the marriage ceremony for Mr. James CROTTS and Miss Eliza LEWIS. On Sunday, he had two marriages at his house. The first couple was Mr. A.L. CONRAD and Miss Mary Louella BURKHART; the second was Mr. William GRIMES and Miss Mary CURRY. In concluding his letter, the ‘squire says: “I must tell you that we had a fine time of it was a whole. I wish I could have had the Dispatch with me.”

Mr. L.M. COGGINS, of Concord, and Miss Louella HARRIS were married on Christmas eve at the residence of Mr. Geo. W. HARRIS, the bride’s father. The ceremony was performed by Rev. M.W. BOYLES, in the presence of a small company of invited guests, one of whom the editor of the Dispatch was fortunate enough to be. After congratulations came supper, and it was a good one too. Mr. and Mrs. COGGINS went to Concord on the midnight train. There is no dissent from the opinion that our young friends are a pair well matched.
