MARRIAGE EXTRAORDINARY.—On Friday last
a laird in Perth, aged 74, advalced for the third
time, to the hymeneal altar, with a blooming bride
of 22, to whore there is every reason to suppose
he had been attracted by a sympathetkaffection,
as she was born, it is said, on the very day he
took to his arms a former spouse. This sympa-
thy, apparently so very natural, 'his younger
neighbours could not understand, and on the
morning of the happy day, they not only sur-
' rounded his house in crowds, endeavouring to
prevent all egress' and regress, (Ind testify-
ing their disapprobation in very uncourteous
sounds ; but a strong reinforcement betook
themselves to the house of the bride's father,fully
a mile distant, with the apparent determination
of preventing the happy couple reading their
destined home. The bride, however, not easi-
ly baulked, found her way to the town by
a circuitous route of several miles, while the
bridegroom, who had taken a shorter path, was
employed in dispensing pails full of water horn
the windows, on the crowds around his door.
