/ man Of fortune paid his addresses to MISS
s., the daughter Of respectable mer
chant 10 the city. A mutual attachment
xisted, and day was fixed for the nup
tials taking place, when Mr.. /. SUDDEN.
1 withdrew himself, aud went TO the conti-
nent. The young lady's health suffered
severely for some time. AT length' gu
her getting somewhat better, the commands
Of her father, aided by the parsuaslons Of
her friends, induced her to consent to mar
ry gentleman every way eligible VINO
had long solicited her hand. The day
appointed for the nuptials arrived: the
parties, attended by their mutual friends
repaired TO the church the ceremony
was performed, and they were about 10
quit the altar, when the appearance oil Sif
| I'll, in the aisle, had such an effect on
the bride, that she tainted, aud was con-
yeyed home 10 that state, no one oil the
party, excepting her father, suspecting
The cause. On her recovering her senses,
soon after her arrival al home, she broke
away from her friends, who surrounded
her, seized knife from the side-board
and vowed vengeance against herself, and
those who had been the destroyers OF her
happiness. She was disarmed, aud put
to bed and towards night becoming
more moderate and tranquil, she was leit
at her own request, in the care OF her ia
vorite maid On the following morning,
to the surprise Of her friends, her cham
Der was found empty. A letter Oh her
dressing table, addressed to her father,
informed him she had Quilted the house,
accompanied by her maid, to join MI
Tn, who had long possessed her heart
and to whom, before she again saw them
her fate was TO be united for lille. All
search for the fugitives proved unavail
ing and in about fortnight she returned,
accompanied by Mr.. Tn, to whom, in
the interim, she had been married; and
throwing herself at her fathers feet, askef
parents blessing. The question for lie
gal discussion will be, whose vile OF the
twain is she ?
A melancholy instance of the danger Of
.precipitate interment lately took place in
the city of Pau. A man who had been
deaf and dumb frem his birth, and who
followed the trade of farrier, went out
to sup with party of friends Having
drank great quantity Of brandy, he be-
came aarmingly i'll on his return home; a
physician was sent for, who administered
some positions, which, however, produced
no effect. In short time all signs OF life
ceased, the unfortunate man was supposed
to be dead, and his funeral took place on
the following afternoon. The funeral ser
vice was ended in the church, and the
body was about to be conveyed to the
burial ground, when a noise was heard
within the coffin, accompanied by groans.
The terrified mourners Immediately stop
ped, the coffin lid was opened, and with
horror they beheld the terrified corpse
rise up. Medical aid was Immediately
procured, but it was too late. The cold.
and privation of air which the unfortunate
man had endured while shut up 10 the
coffin, together with the horrible sensa-
lions he experienced on his recovery, all
combined to deprive him finally OF the life
TO which he had thus been restored. He
survived only a few hours.--LiteraryGas.
Curious circumstance. Duke Of
Grafton, who WAS prime Minister TO his
late Majesty, soon after he came TO the
Throne, and who makes so distinguished
figure 10 the celebrated letters of Junius
after retiring from Office, employed him
self in writing 6 The Memoirs of his own
Life" which when completed, his Grace
carefully sealed up, and by an injunction
in his will, strictly prohibited bis heirs on
any account TO open the envelope during
the reign Of the late King but after thai
Monarch's demise, 20 make the Memoir
known to the world. II is supposed TO
contain full development of all the
great political events and private history
Of the Court, at that interesting period
and in all probability will, for the first
time, divulge TO the public the real name
of Junius which it is understood, had
been made known to his Grace, under .
pledge of honor not to communicate the
secret to any person living, in the life
time OF King George the Third.
