A SCRUPULOUS BRIDEGROO3L—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 tiller, one of the churchwardens and
the parish clerk close by. Before, however, going on
with the marriage service, the churchwarden interrogated
the bridegroom as to whether he was a married man
already,:and read 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 thee worship." Bridegroom —" No,
indeed, I can't say that; I will worship no one 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, tho reverend gentleman kindly returned to the
altar and proceeded with the lesson ; but to the surprise
of all present, when he read, IVith my body I thee wor-
ship," the bridegroom said as botme, " I prutust against
it." The bride—"Oh,'ao say the words." Bridegroom—

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

THE AGRICULTURAL IM PLEMENT TRADE IN
CANADA.—Tho very high duties levied upon English
agicultural machinery by the Canadian Governmentilias
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. Tho 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 tho
colonists in being debarred the use of our improved imple-
ments. Tho Hon. 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.
