The last marrigc that we have to
record ia that of Lieut.. Valerius Bright
well, r. n, and Miss Amelia Wilder,
which took place quite recently with
great eclat. AS the young couple were
the Joint heirs Of Admiral Brunton,
and as the bride was very young, ana
the bridegroom on the point of sailing
on a distant service. it was arranged
that they should fix their permanent
residence a. the Anchorage; and so,

Mrs. Corder and ner thirteen chill

widow owns the eatly-furnished
house and the well-stocked shop IN
which she lives happily and does
flourishing business. Her elder chill

The Barony of Leaton remains IN

Malcolm Montrose. on the part OF
his wife. draws the large revenues Of
the Abbey estates that are flourishing
under the care of an able steward.
Whether Mr.. Montrose will ever adj

of I.eaton. or whether Eudora will ever
have nerve enough to return to the
scene of her terrible sorrows, remains
an open question.
In the sunny land of her birth she
is in the possession of all the happiness
