Tux MARRIAGE of Colonel Napier Sturt„ Grenadier
Guards, and Mrs. Ashley Sparke, t sok place on Wed-
nesday at Holy Trinity Church, Bromley. After the
ceremony Colonel and Mrs. Stud pnicesded to Lord
Northbrook's house at Alresford for the honeymoon.
A handsome bracelet was given by the Prince of
Wales to Mrs. Sturt, and many presents were sent by
numerous friends. The World (which ought to know)
says the ceremony was conducted in the most quiet
manner, none but the immediate relations of the parties
befog present, and not all of them. It ie understood,
and the rumour is received with much regret in
nt11t557 circles, that the gallant Colonel is about to
m the army and make a lengthened tour on
the continent. My latest news is ttat Colonel Sturt's
are already sent in. He has taken a house at

REGIAWAT Hones. —On IVednersday evening the
horse and fourwheel dogcart belonging to R. Devenish,
Esq., Charminster, was standing near Mr. Wood'.
thudaop, with Mrs. Caine. and her chill therein, the
groom himself being in the shop. Something started
the horse, and Mrs. Caines having her back to him,
had enough to do to hold the child, and was unable to
check the speed of the startled animal, which ran
faster and faster, to the terror of the lo .kere-soi, urine
od whom seemed able to stop it. Nearly opposite Mr.
Manor's Horse Repository some hay was being
unloaded into stable., the horse ran against the load
and was thrown down', but fortunately Mrs. Caine',
and the child reoeived no injury but the frieLt and
shaking. The animal, which won much cut, was
taken to Mr. Lipsoombe's.
Tits BRWAGZ DIITICULTT.—The Salisbury Town
Council have sent their Surveyor and a Committee to
Taunton, Abinirelon, and Bedford, and have received a
report that—" if land at a rele liable price ran be
obtained in the neighboul horst suitable in all respects,
a Sewage Farm may be desirable. and if such laud
were similar in quality and situati in to that at Abing-
don or Bedford, one acre, properly laid out and sown
with Italian rye eras., would disimm of the sewage of
about 500 persons. Should such land, however, not be
obtainable, the Committee have no doubt the Sodium
Process as in operation at Taunton, with such improve-
ments as may be practicable (especially if the effluent
water be passed over laud), woel I be an effectual mode
of dealing with the sewage, with probable patidactien
and economy." Our own Town Clerk (' ;. mond%
Egg ), we believe thinks the Com cil mi.ht accqiure
useful knowledge on this troublemme sul ject by seed-
ing say to Coventry. Salisbury Ceunril hate net a
sensible example, for it Femme hopeem to expect
definite guidance from the G .vernnient ii end.
ATTEMPT TO COMMIT SUIeIDE —Eli:obeli' Sibley. tote
servant at the Compasses beerhonao, Grove-building.,
was charged on Wednesday with having attempted to
drown herself on Tuesday night hot. It appeared
from the evidence of a boy named Warren, who also
lives at the Compasses, that betweeu eight and nine
he heard the girl use some foul c xpression and say
she'd go and drown herself. She went toward.; the
Broome, which runs close behind the Cempasses, bet
was, by two men, prevented getting into the water.
The boy Warren got her back again b.to t he yard, and
then went into the house, where he stayed about three
minutes. On coining out again he found the girl in
the river. standing up in about le inch, s or t • o feet of
water, her face and head being wet. The by g..t her
out, and took her into the Compasses, when a police-
man was sent for; but on seeing him she absconded,
and they did not apprehend her until Wednesday
morning, when she was found still wearing her wet
clothea.—The Mayor (Mr. W. burden) Icelanded her
until Monday next.

tempted to remark upon the picturesquenses (.f the
scene, of which even the coffin, covered a; it wan with
lovely floral garlands, seemed the central point.
Pardbly, in spite of sympathy with the bereaved and
mourning ones, we may be forgiven for observing that.

the whole surroundings seemed rather to remind one
