FeII DEAD at RrIde,s Feet.

At Landau, on the Swiss-Austrian
frontier. a middleaged man named
Buhler was married the other day, and
the pastor had barely concluded the
ceremony, when the bridegroom. who
had been complaining Of the heat, fell
unconscious at the feet of his young
wife at the foot of the altar. Among
his friends who were in the church
was a doctor, who hastened to his
side. Buhler. however. was beyond
human aid, having succumbed to an
attack of apoplexy. His hysterical
bride. whom fate had made a wife
and widow within a few minutes. was
gently led out of the church, and a
hearse transported the dead bride
groom to his home.
