MARhIAIE N HUH LIFE In
E CANADA. 4Zf *ss s'9ls
The marriage Of Sophia, second daught-
err Of Sir Allan MacNab, premier of
the Canadian ministry, to. William
Contts, Viscount Bury, only son Of the
Earl ofsAlbemarle, took place at Dun
durn Castle, the residence Of the bride S
father, on Tuesday last, with great
eclat. The ceremony was perterned
by the Lord Bishop Of Toronto, assisted
by the archdeacon Of kiaston the bride :
uncle, the marriage having been pre-
vious|y solemnized in accordance with
the Catholic ritual, the bride being an
adherant Of that church. The extreme
beauty Of the bride, robed in her brld-
al dress, says the Hamilton Spectator,
was the theme Of every tongne, The
governor general, Sir Edmund Head,
was present. at the marriage, and at
the dejeuner following, proposed the
health of the happy pair, which was res
pended to by Lord Bury, the bride
groom. A brilliant company Of ahou,
one hundred aud fifty persons was pres
ent, including he1ncmaers ot the e. atf-
met, several IF the membels If s2aflia4
ment, and prominent persons fron dit
ferent parts of the province Miss
Charlotte Boulton and the Misses Stew

JAPAN COTTON AND HEMP The
samples OF Japan cotton and Hemp sent
by our correspondent at San Francisco
and referred to in his last commune alton
have been 10 our office several DAYS.
and attracted good deal of attention
The cotton, examined under glass, is
not as fine as the average of American.
and the fiber is shorter and more easily
broken. Il has q fine color, however,
and the fiber has greater number of
barbs, SO that it will draw, with proper
handling, into {. sers fine thread 1t
has apparently q great maay natural
crooks IN each hDer this appearance
may be given to it in dressing,j which
renders it easier to spip and makes a
bat of it very elastic. From this cause
and natural hasshness owing to the
number Of barbs in the fiber, it feels to
the touch very much hike wool. The
hemp is entirely destitute Of any Iinty
appearance, and possesses hong woody
fiber abont . feet ii length The whole
resembles Size SHIN bark Of tree until
seperated into ibaes. and is quite stiff.
with res'nous sap. Both articles; the
cotton espec'aliy, could ba made avail
able, and, il To be had 10 large qaantit-
les, would furnish the basis fer vatu-
able commerce w!th the japanese --
Journal q Commerce.
