Wedding After Forty Years of Separation.

Our town is all agog this morning over the wedding that is to be celebrated in a day or two between Aunt Vina Johnson, an old colored lady of our place, and a former husband, from whom she has been separated for forty years. Forty-three years ago Aunt Vina was the slave of a Mr. Johnson, in Fleming County, Ky., and was the wife of a Geo. Perry, also a slave, whose master lived in Mason County. He ran off and went to Canada, but returned and got his wife

and child, and succeeded in reaching Chillicothe with them, where they were overtaken by Johnson, and the wife and child taken back. She remained a slave until 1864.
