A SAD WEDDING.—After publishing the marriage
of Mr. Adam Tote, of Chicago, to Mies Jeanette Pettigrew,
late of Scotland, the Chicago Maim( wide, " There is a bit
of romance, sad enough in Its character, connected with this
announcement which the parties will forgive as for relating :
—Six young Scotcbruen f this city, worthy men all, who
had left their plighted faith and lassies behind them when
they sought contentment and fortune on our shores, united
for the purpose of sending for those to whom their troth was
plighted. They were to come out together. For mutual
protection and society they took pewee in the came
vessel. The perilous ocean voyage was made with-
out accident, and the party—a merry and happy party
—arrived safely at Quebec, whore they took gamine on the
Montreal. Our readers know sad have lamented the fate
that overtook that ill•fated steamer and her hundreds
of pareengers. When she burned, of the six trusting and
generous girl', Mies Pettigrew was the only one saved. Her
five companions found either fiery or watery graves. Mies
Pettigrew was rescued she knows not how, or by whom.
Taken up for drowned, the struggle between life and death
was long and doubtful, bet at lest decided in favour of the
fernier. The kind-hearted at Ilontreal leurned her history,
and admired her modest worth. By them—for elm had lost
everything but kereelf—her immediate neceseities were cup-
plied, and in • few days, with their blessing and prayers, she
continued her journey hither. The five young men, who
besides the now happy husband, hod precious freight on that
steamer, attended the wedding on Tuesday last. How cad
that feet TO gathering wan—how the shadow of the fearful
past dimmed the brightness of the present, who that has not
felt the destroyers touch con tell?";
