elected in opposition to the Select Vestry—a proceeding which was
warranted by the legal advice they had obtained.

FIDELITY.—The Royal Bruce, Dumfries stage coach,

S:t lard set out from Edinburgh full oF pasa:ngers, and
Was sorompan:ed by a chaise and four, which also had
ns complement of passengers. At Devine-glen, near to
Drutalaorig Castle, in Nithisdale, the chaise, which
was ahead, was arrested by an enormous wreath of
snow, 20 feet deep. Three of the horses being re-
markably powertul, the driver drove into the wreath,
with the determination to get through; bet there was
no overcoming the obstruction, and the vehicle slack
fan. To advance or retreat was impossible; and so
thick was the drift, that the passengers could not but
anticipate to be speedily buried in it. The coach came
up, but so deep was the gloom of the tempest, that the
chaise could not be descried from it. However, Purvis,
the guard, hearing the cries of despait which were
raised by the chaise passengers, stopped the coach, and,
at the risk of his life, carried them one by one, on his
back, out of the chaise, and through the snow wreath,
to Durrisder 11411,•about three hundred yards distant,
where they were lodged in a smithy. To get the horses
of both coach and chaise out of their harness, and bring
them to the smithy, was a work of three hours for 13
