A FARMER CHARGED WITH FIRING STACHS.—At
the Ws'Paola petty sessions, yesterday afternoon, an
elderly farmer, named John Lunn, was charged with setting
fire to some stacks at Middleton, on Friday. The prisoner
has a respectable position, and is the occupier of a farm
of upwardsof one hundred acres of land in that village.
Last Friday the stack-yard of the Masers. Braiding
and Co. colliery owners, of Middleton, was dis-
covered to be on fire. In the yard were two
whole stacks of hay, half of another, and one of
clover, in 'all about 300 tons, valued at from 1,0001. to
1,2001. The fire broke out about three o'clock, and could not
be extinguished until damage to the extent of about 4001, had
been dons. The stacks were not insured. The prlioner was
seen near the stackyard which is in the centre of his land,
a short time before, with a lighted tar rope in his hand.—He
was mounded to Menday week, bell being accepted.—Yes-

BREAKING OFT THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY: A
mf t of the Worcestershire Chressiek writes :—" In
oner=der neural churchee, much frequented by bachelors
who wish to be converted into Benedieks, and spinsters
who desire to change single billowiness ix holy matrimony,
• young couple were being joined is the bonds of wedlock,
when, just se the final pledge was about to be exchanged
one of the company smiled and set the rest • giWing,
whereupon the officiating clergyman laid down his book,
disrobed, and left the church, leaving the parties, who had
been so nearly made man and wife, no alternative but to go
home and console themselves for their dimppointesent over
the wedding feast. The Vicar of Wakefield was Mimed to
chasten the somewhat unruly disposition to levity shown by
hie daughter Sophia and Miss Arabella Wilmot, when he
was about to join their hands to Sir William Thornhill and
George Primrose, but he did not throw aside hie book in a
pet and break off the ceremony, though he threatened it.
Perhaps in the cam just noted • ••••011•Me reproof might
have checked the disposition of the bridal party to unseemly
mirth, convinced them of their error, and vindicated the
reverenos due to the sacred precincts. But to break off the
service and send away the couple who lad so nearly been
made happy—of • truth, I think the pnahlumat does ex-
ceed the offmoe."
