What Came from Casting a Shoe.

The practice which prevails at we'd
dings of throwing old shoes after the
carriage which bears away the bride
and bridegroom is no doubt, from it's
antiquity, deserving of veneration, but
it may be carried too far, and is ut
times not only Involvement but dan
gerous. At wedding which took
place recently ut bennington, Eng
land, serious accident occurred, and
the lives of three persons were nearly
sacrificed by the observance of this
time-honored custom. It seems that
as the bride md bridegroom were TAX
ing their departure after the wedding
breakfast, a volley of old shoes were
discharged at them, Nth the addition
of q quantity of rice. This evidence
of kindly feeling, however appreciated
by the newly-married couple, was un
fortunately misunderstood bv the
horse attached to the vehicle in which
they were seated, who showed his dis
approval by boiling. The consequences
were not such as can be said to have
added to the happiness of the occasion.
The driver was thrown from the box
and the carriage passed over him, The
carriage itself came in collision with q
cab. was capsized and smashed to
pieces. The bridegroom was pitched
out OF the window. received severe
scalp wound, and now lies in q rreca-
ri >us condition. The bride was of
course terribly shaken, but happily e.
capped further injury.

Captain Buddineton nj Home.

A Groton correspondent of the Nor
wich Bulletin writes: :Last Friday
Captain Buddington, of the Polaris,
returned to his home after an absence
of more than two years. It is safe to
say that he is the best slandered man
the country has produced since Grant
fought the battle of Shiloh. But he
looks bright, cheerful and good-na-
tured, and this all arises from good di.
gestion and good conscience. Il havea
good conscience, 'he says, 'and can bear
the reproaches of those who reproacll
me- He has brought to the Govern
ment all the journals and memoran-
dun books, including the latest en-
tries in Commander Halls journal,
and by these he is able to dispense the
wild rumors which have been raised
against him. Hall, among his last en-
tries, speaks of the faithful manner in
which Captain Buddington has carried
out his orders. And why should he
not9 Captain Buddington was his
old and tried friend. Since 1850 they
have tWintered and Summered' to-
gether more than once. It was this
Captain Buddington with whom he
made his voyage to Frobisher's Straits
in 1860-62, and it was this same Bud
dington that he thought of before all
other men, of whom he knew q host,
for his North Pole Expedition.
