AN " UNEQUAL" MATCH.—The Haver fordwest
TekyrepA gives an amusing account of a wedding which
look oleos lately at the village of Thorne@ Chapel, and the
anticipation of which had thrown the aelghbourhood into a
state of ezeitement. The bride would be considered tall
even for amen, while the bridegroom scarcely stands three
het high. The bridegroom endeavottred to keep the time
of their leaving for church as secret as possible, and the
more effectually to sormiplish his purpose, determined to
start very early in the mowing. But the time of starting
wee soon sweet led by a few persons. About five cro.
the temple prepared to start for Atoroth chinch, having
about four mike to walk. They pror. 'del a little way aloes:
when all of a sudden they were astonished at hearing the
evert of a gun near them, and immediately after, as if by
magic, they ware saluted by about fifty Famous tearing
lighted torches and candles, who had come from
different parts of the neighbourhood to welcome thew. Now
great excitement prevailed, and amidst the @bonnet of the
multitude, which gathered strength as they went along, the
bride and bridegroom were escorted on their way. About
midway between their milder= and the church the party
were met by a band of fifes and drams, and by this time the
crowd had tocreased to about three hundred permute, who
arieromanied the couple nearly all the way. The noise sad
uproar of the crowd were great. But everything mint have
an end, and so must mirth. Having reached the church,
and the hymeneal kaot being tied, the crowd dinpeteed, sad
• all wended their way homewards.
