A soon time ago great seendal was caused by the report
that an officer holding a high staff appointment in the
ariny, .1 ~,an of noble family, had eloped with a lady's
tuaid, leaving his wife and seven children behind him. He
was followed by one of his brothers. a It. man Catholic
Bishop in this country, who succeeded in persuading him
to leave his companion. The officer in question—strictly
speaking he is aimr no longer, for he sold out before
eloping—has now remined his wife, and they are gone to
live upon the Continent.
AT THE fortnightly meeting of the Liverpool Select
Vestry, it woo reported liv the finance committee that
they bit investigated the cinlumstanees of the admission
of a woman named Ellen O'Brien to the workhouse on the
hat inst., on the order of Mr. Weston, relieviog officer.
The woman had stated that she was net in destitute cir-
cumstances, but that she had paid 10s. to the officer to
have her admitted as a pauper, although she was prepared
to pay Is. a day for her maintenance. Mr. Weston denied
the charge, but the committee considered the case

dismiss him.
Mr. Cuiss has ordered the liberation of •
m W prisoner,
named ',V. 11. Cadmen, who woo convicted at the Salford
Hundred Sessions ~f stealing a donkey, and sentenced to
It months imprisonment and seven years' police supervl-
sien. The jury intended to acquit the man, believing
that he had no felonious intent, but they returned a
verdict of guilty, with a strong nicommendation to mercy.
An explanation was molested, and the foreman stated
tbat the jury did not believe the men intended to ideal
the donkey, which of course amounted to an acquittal.
Most unfortunately for Cadman, the noise in court was so
great that the chairman did not hear the explanation, and
be ?mem! the Revere sentence stated above.

story is toll f a newly-appointed Justice of the Peace in
one of the Western States, who was called on ..en after
his acces,dou to ..Ifice to marry a couple. He was a
bachelor and never seen to do the thing properly. How-
ever, there was no one else within fifty miles who, as he
thought, could marry them, so he determined to try, atids
having an eye to the main chance, lie looked for his fee in
a novel manner, as be dhl not expect to receive • large

" Put yonr right hand on the Bible." You do solemnly
swear that the evidence you shall give in the ease of
Robert Jones against Mary Smith shall be truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth, Kiss

"Will you provide for her, give her good and suitable
el,thes, iill.l keep plenty if provisions in the house, and
will you take care of her if she should be sack 1- " I will."
The Squire then proceeded to swear the bride in the same

her so to whether she would "tie a good and obedient
wife, :ant take rare of his home, nurse him if he should

blushed a little at the last clause, but promised. and the
