A grocer's traveller named Baynes had a narrow
etc tpe of being suffocated in his bedroom at Bambres
Itlytb and Tyne Hotel, on Monday night.. He was found
in bed in a Mated' insensibility, the room being full of gas,
the latter of which Lad not been sufficiently turned off.
It is said, by the surgeon who was c.died in, that Ave
minutes mere in that condition would have proved fatal
to the young nun.—Sanderiand Herald.
We hear that the Sarum Use is about to be in-
troduced at St. Bartholomew's-, bloorlane.—Church News,
A Do;,. ER's WE Mil NG. —A very cnriona circum-
stance rece,tlv occurred at • "digger's wedding," at
Ballarat. The bridegroom on arriving at church waited
for some time, but all in vain, for the coming of his bride,
upon whom he hal liberally lavished some 1::h/. or
2001. in jewellery, dresses, he., and it at last be-
came evident to him that she had no intention of
keeping her appointment. This being the ease,
and being desirous of not having his journey
and :rouble all to no pal pose, he proposed to one of the
bridesmaids—to whom he had previously made a tender
of his hand and heart, but who had rejected Dim—that
she should reconsider her refusal. Admiring, probably,
the philosophic spirit displayed by our (Keno, the young
lady did reconsider, and retracted her refusal, and. appa-
rently very much to the satisfaction of both. and
certainly to the amusement of those present, they were
made man and wife.—Mdboorrw Argue.
