There was on Wednesday last at Limekouset
a sale of articles, made chiefly by the ladies of the Spanish
and Italian refugees, and sold for their benefit. Most of
the arriges.were disposed of; and it is hoped that this
method will be adopted, in other places, of relieving a
very meritorious class of sufferers, of whom all have seeu

destitution.

and taking refreshments at another quarter of the house.
Unfortunately, however, a party of Sheriff's-officers who
were in that neighbourhood on judicial business, espying
the couple leaving the house in such an irregular and sus-
picious manner, came up to them at a short distance from
the house, and teok them into custody. The fracas at-
tending the seizure and the subsequent explanation, at-
tracted the notice of the party in the house, who speedily
relieved the Sheriff-officers of their charge, and carried them
back to Lochaber in triumph in despite of the threats and
struggles of the young man, and the tears of his intended
bride.—Perth Courier.
