A SCRUPULOUS BRIDEGROO3I.—A desperate and
ultimately successful attempt at matrimony was made at
Llangollen parish church a few days ago. Everything
was in readiness to proceed with the ceremony—the
clergyman was at the altar, ono of the churchwardens and
the parish clerk close by. Dolor°, however, going on
with the marriage service, the churchwarden interrogated
tho bridegroom as to whether he was a married man
already,:and road a letter which stated that ho was married.
This the bridegroom indignantly denied, and as there was
no proof of a previous marriage, the service was proceeded
with, and went on uninterruptedly until the placing of the
ring. Clergyman—" With this ring I thee wed." Bride-
groom—" With this ring I thee wed." Clergyman—
" With my body I thou worship." Bridegroom —" No,
indeed, I can't say that; I will worship no ono but God."
Upon this the clergyman elosed the book and walked off
towards the door, but on the entreaties of the bride and
bridegroom, and on his promise that ho would repeat the
words, the reverend gentleman kindly returned to the
altar and proceeded with the lesson ; but to the surprise
of all present, when he read, " With my body I thee wor-
ship," the bridegroom said as boforo, " I protest against
it." The bride—" Oh, do say the words." Bridegroom—

" No, I cannot say such words. I protest against it." The
clergyman for the second time closed the book and loft the
church, and the couple were obliged to return home fn
exactly the same relationship as they left it. The follow-
ing day, however, another effort was made to effect a union
at the same altar, and with better sucoess, the bridegroom
repeating every word after the clergyman, without any
objection.

THE AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT TRADE IN
CANADA.—The very high duties levied upon English
agricultural machinery by the Canadian Government has
almost entirely prevented ,its export to this important
colony. The duties under the commercial treaty with the
United States were so much lower that the Americans had
a monopoly of the market. The leading makers of English
agricultural machinery have recently memorialised the
Colonial Office upon the subject of lower duties, setting
forth the hardship of being practically shut out from ono
of our largest colonies, and the loss sustained by the
colonists in being debarred the use of our improved imple-
ments. The lion. Mr. Cardwell has transmitted the me-
morial to the Governor of Canada for the consideration of
the provincial Government. English agricultural machinery
is also by the high scale of duties imposed shut out of the
United States, whilst England receives American reaping
and other agricultural machinery duty free. We learn
that a leading manufacturer is about to proceed to America
with a view to obtain some concession.

RIFLE MA-rem—The eighth monthly competition
for the gold badge and silver medal of the West
Middlesex Rifles was shot off on Thursday last, ten shots
each at 300 and GOO yards, the winner of the badge being
Licut._Marriner, 50; and the cup, Private Edmonds, 48

on behalf of the regiment for the Middlesex bronze medal
also took place on Thursday, ton shots each at 200, 500,
and GOO yards, the five highest scores in the three days'
competitions being Major Bridgman, 231; Ensign Garner,
228 ; Ensign Little, 227; Lieut. Marriner, 221 ; and Capt.
Dear, 217. The two first will therefore shoot in the bronze
medal competition.
